Compact and agile in the field—safe on the road

With the introduction of the MAX SPREAD crop flow system, CLAAS revolutionized tedder technology and redefined the state of the art. MAX SPREAD is now fitted on all VOLTO models—from the largest to the smallest. The unique feature of the system is the tine arms at an angle of 29.3° to the rear.

The benefits of MAX SPREAD at a glance:

• Increased raking performance

• Gentle forage handling

• Clean spread pattern

• Higher throughput

• Outstanding work quality

The 29.3° trailed connection also has a positive impact on crop delivery. In the same way as the trailed spreading blades of a fertilizer spreader, this configuration ensures a wider and more even distribution of the harvested crop, for an optimal spread pattern. This fertilizer spreader effect is further supported by tine tension release in the direction of the winding, to spread the crop over the entire width.

To produce high-quality forage, the harvested crop must be dried out evenly. Therefore, the tines on VOLTO machines are equipped with fingers of equal length. These pick up the crop in layers and ensure that it is mixed thoroughly. The result is a homogeneous spreading pattern and rapid drying of the harvested crop.

The greatest forces involved in tedding are those acting on the spreader arms. Accordingly, these arms are manufactured from rounded tubing for extreme torsion resistance. They are bolted to the rotor plate and are further strengthened by a reinforcement ring with recesses.

To adapt the machine to harvesting conditions, the spreading angle can be set from 12° to 18°, depending on the model. The tines can also be adjusted forward or backward by 7°, allowing you to fine-tune your desired spreading pattern.

To cushion loads, the tines have five windings. The material thickness of 0.37" (9.5 mm) still provides enough rigidity for a clean raking result. To protect animals and follow harvesting machinery, each spreader arm is equipped with a tine loss guard. These guards prevent tines from coming away in the event of a breakage, and their trapezoid shape prevents the forage from becoming wrapped around the spreader arm.

A hexagonal shaft effectively transfers the drive force to all rotor gearboxes via PERMALINK couplers, ensuring reliable drive at each of the rotor's folding points.

All VOLTO machines in the large model series come equipped with a hermetically sealed, continuously lubricated rotor transmission. Combined with the PERMALINK finger clutch, the drive system on these tedders is very low-maintenance right up to the drive shaft, and the hermetically sealed design additionally prevents forage contamination from lubricants.

The compact class includes our proven gearbox technology. The lightweight structure of these transmission systems is also extremely robust, and is designed to operate reliably under the high forces acting on the mechanism.
