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. Like 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, spreading the crop over the entire width.

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.

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 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.

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.

On VOLTO machines, power is transferred via the PERMALINK finger clutch, which ensures a reliable transfer of power in all operational conditions. In addition, the innovative design enables folding movements of up to 180°, allowing retraction to a compact transport position.

Forming overnight or temporary swaths is often advisable when working with hay—particularly when harvesting time frames are tight.
