LengthofCut Adjustment with CLAAS
Forage Harvester
On CLAAS forage harvesters the lengthofcut
transmission and the drive speed for the rotary harvesting
unit are shifted independently.
The CLAAS forage harvester has two gears for the
rotary harvesting unit drive. For optimum operation of all
lengths of cut, the KEMPER rotary harvesting unit must
be equipped with a twospeed gear box (option).
See forage harvester operator’s manual for adjustments
of the forage harvester.
On the KEMPER rotary harvesting unit, 1st gear (A) and
2nd gear (B) are shifted directly at the drive case.
