Absolutely balanced – the ballasting.
CLAAS has developed a simple ballasting concept for optimal tractive power. The individual ballast plates can be installed at the front or rear to cover a range of applications. Ease of attachment and detachment guarantees a high level of flexibility.
Two ballasting options are available ex factory:
- 18 t machine operational weight
- 21 t machine operational weight
