2025 CLAAS Convio 1530 Flex

Draper header for more performance.

CONVIO headers offer assistance systems that you can operate from inside the cab. ACTIVE FLOAT, AUTOMATIC BELT SPEED and AUTO FLEX make it quick and easy to apply the optimal header settings for the prevailing conditions.

Features may include:

• Side belts, center belt and MULTIFINGER intake auger ensure a smooth crop feed

• Reel with flip-over system and automatic reel torque control

• Flexible cutterbar with 7 inches (225 mm) of flex

• Reversing modes for side and center belts via control lever or armrest

• ACTIVE FLOAT hydropneumatic header suspension via CEBIS

• Table locked to rigid/flexible mode via CEBIS

• Setting of belt speed via CEBIS

• Slip and stopped belt warning for center and side belts via CEBIS

• 4 operating modes for front attachment and cutting height control via CEBIS

• Automatic parking and operating position for reel and cutterbar

Harvesting is easier, faster and more convenient when the header is matched perfectly to the crop and the combine harvester. CLAAS headers and CLAAS machines are made for each other. The operators have full access to all operator assistance systems and are able to get maximum results right from the get-go.

The hydraulic reel drive automatically adjusts the reel’s torque to match the harvesting conditions, for example when the crop is lying flat. The automatic height control, which operates based on the specified values for pressure and sensitivity, helps maintain a continuous crop flow and prevents the tines from digging into the soil and causing the reel to come to a stop.

Draper headers are ideal for low-growing stalks and crops, and in difficult harvesting conditions (lodged grain, volunteers) which require cutting close the ground. The flexible cutterbar table ensures optimal ground contour following, even with large widths, while the belts make for a gentle and even crop flow.

The redesigned reel and innovative cam track allow the reel tines to pick up the crop before it is cut, helping to minimize header losses, especially when harvesting lodged grain. The tines ensure that the crop is fed smoothly into the cutterbar, especially when harvesting short crops. In addition, the unique flip-over system prevents the crop from wrapping around the reel. This ensures that the cut crop is fed cleanly, evenly and with little loss to the CONVIO header belts, entering the combine evenly with the crop ear or head first.

The header’s drivetrain consists of two parts. The mechanical part drives the intake auger and cutterbar while the hydraulic part drives the side belts, the center belt, the reel and the side knives. An overload protection feature protects the entire drivetrain against damage.
