4 An unbeatable combination. Front loaders and tractors from CLAAS. The front loaders in the CLAAS FL series are perfectly matched to your CLAAS tractor and the challenges you face in your day-to-day work. Whether you're working around the farm or in the fields, they are ideal when it comes to handling straw and silage bales, manure handling, feeding, loading trailers and much more besides. Our front loaders make the most of the manoeuvrability, hydraulic power and efficiency of CLAAS tractors. Together, they make a perfectly balanced, powerful unit which is up to even the toughest tasks. The mounting brackets on CLAAS front loaders have been specially designed for CLAAS tractors and transfer mechanical forces across the entire implement frame. They are perfectly matched, allowing ready access to all maintenance points without restricting your tractor's manoeuvrability. This ensures that you can work productively and save yourself a lot of valuable time. 4

5 Perfectly integrated front loaders. Thanks to the FOPS (Falling Object Protective Structure) transparent sunroof, all CLAAS tractor models are ideally equipped for safe front loader work. You have a clear view of the entire working area for loading and are well protected from any falling materials. Regardless of whether your front loader is installed at the factory or retrofitted, it will complement your tractor perfectly boosting the versatility and economic efficiency of all CLAAS tractors from 70 to 184 hp.

6 ELECTROPILOT (ARION 600 / 500 CEBIS / CIS). ARION tractors can be optionally fitted with the ELECTROPILOT system at the factory. The integral joystick in the armrest controls all the front loader functions. The joystick features an excellent ergonomic design, and is easy and very comfortable to use. ELECTROPILOT (ARION 400). The joystick in the ARION 400 is integrated into the righthand armrest. In addition to operating the front loader, it can also be used to simultaneously control the QUADRISHIFT transmission. It is no longer necessary to alternate between gear-shifting and front loader actuation, providing considerable benefits when it comes to operation. With its ergonomic design and razor-sharp precision, the joystick is ideal for all front loader operations. TECHPILOT (ATOS, AXOS, ELIOS). CLAAS also offers high-quality electrohydraulic operation for FL front loaders in tractors below 100 hp. This smooth, extremely precise operating system is recommended for very intensive front loader work.

7 You're in command. FLEXPILOT (all models). With its hydraulic pilot-controlled operating valve, the FLEXPILOT provides maximum operating comfort and the highest level of precision. To save on hydraulic output and time when lowering, the lift rams are operated in singleacting mode. If required, the double-acting mode can be activated at any time by fully depressing the FLEXPILOT control lever. PROPILOT (all models). PROPILOT is a multifunctional single-lever control system which operates using Bowden cables. It has been specially designed for operating the front loader, and has proven its worth in everyday use.

8 Change attachments in no time at all. Changing the attachment is quick and easy. MA Euro MA / Euro The FL series of front loaders offers a range of quickchange frames for attachment locking, including MA / Euro and Euro / SMS. This makes it possible to fit a wide variety of attachments, taking into account different standards for attachment types, brands and individual country preferences. As a result, existing attachments can still be used with the new front loader. The ingenious design reduces lifting power requirements and provides ideal crowding and dumping angles. To make it easier to attach implements, CLAAS offers a range of smart options for locking attachments in place and connecting the hydraulics. Mechanical attachment locking device. Euro / SMS All quick-change frames are equipped with an automatic mechanical locking device as standard. The safety bolt locks into place by simply tilting the new attachment upwards. With FASTLOCK and SPEEDLINK one press of a button is all it takes to lock the attachments in place and the hydraulics are connected at the same time. 8

9 SPEEDLINK. In addition to hydraulic locking, SPEEDLINK allows you to automatically connect and disconnect all hydraulic and electrical connections from the cab when attaching or removing implements. In fact, you can fit and release the front attachments without moving from your seat. As soon as an attachment is uncoupled, all connections are completely sealed to prevent the entry of dirt or other contamination. FASTLOCK. With FASTLOCK, attachments can be hydraulically locked and unlocked from the comfort of the cab. MACH 2. You can easily connect the hydraulic couplings between the attachments and front loader in just one action, even when the lines are under pressure you'll never mix up the connections again. The couplings have a flat seal, making oil stains on the ground a thing of the past. Changing attachments 9

10 Benefit from versatility. A high-performance front loader isn't much use on its own which is why CLAAS supplies a full range of more than 60 different attachments for any application. Whether you are moving bulk material, pallets, manure, straw bales or silage bales, our range of attachments will ensure safe and precise handling. All our attachments have been developed for professional use, and their efficiency and ruggedness are second to none. The CLAAS range is guaranteed to offer an attachment that meets your needs. Safety valve. Optional safety valves for the lift and tilt rams guarantee safety when using a work platform 1. The valve is not activated until pressure is applied to a line, and closes automatically if pressure is lost, preventing uncontrolled movements of the lift arms. Thanks to electrical switching from the cab, the safety valves can be combined with the SHOCK ELIMINATOR vibration damping system. 1 Always obey national regulations when using a work platform on the front loader. 10

11 Everything on the move. ACS convenient attachment positioning. The ACS Active Control System automatically returns your attachment to its starting position at the touch of a button. This helps you to work efficiently and comfortably, especially on long, repetitive jobs. SCS a single control for two functions. Larger volumes loaded safely: the benefits of the SCS Synchro Control System are clear. When filling and emptying, the driver normally has to control the attachment angle and operate the third function virtually at the same time. Thanks to intelligent synchronisation of these two movements by the SCS system, all that's now required is one push of the button. This closes the grab for filling and opens it for dumping. Faster filling, faster emptying, with more time available to focus on the task at hand. The result: greater productivity. Versatility and convenience 11

12 Ready in record time. FITLOCK for effortless attachment and removal. With the FITLOCK system, you can fit and replace the loader without tools and without stress. Mounting the FL front loader is child's play. FITLOCK allows you to mount the loader quickly, safely and easily in any situation, even on uneven surfaces. The pre-lock mechanism secures the connection before the front loader locks fully into position. Afterwards, it can be detached just as conveniently. Drive in Pre-lock Lock From your driving position in the cab, a glance at the lock indicator is all it takes to check that the lift arms are properly engaged. 12

13 MACH just one action. With the MACH multi-coupling system, you can easily connect all the hydraulic and electrical connections in just one action, even when the lines are under pressure. Simply place the multi-coupling system on the tractor bracket, pull the handle down and everything is perfectly connected. The hydraulic connectors have flat seals so they don't drip and remain clean and dry. Problems caused by dirt in the hydraulic system or wrong connections are now a thing of the past. Only leave your cab once. With a combination of FITLOCK and MACH, you only need to leave your cab once to connect the FL front loader. Just drive the tractor up to the lift arms: as soon as the FITLOCK system is pre-locked in place, you get out of the cab, connect the multi-coupling system and stow the support legs in the boom. It's that easy! The support legs automatically engage in the correct position when the loader is lowered to the ground. This also makes it easy to attach the loader. FITLOCK MACH 13

14 PCH hydraulic self-levelling linkage. The FL range of front loaders is equipped with the PCH hydraulic self-levelling linkage, which maintains the angle of the attachment precisely and automatically. Two hydraulic rams underneath the lift arms compensate for the changes in angle that occur when the lift arms move up and down. They are positioned so that the operator has an uninterrupted view of the front loader. 35% more lifting power. The PCH linkage is permanently fixed to the tilt rams, which increases the lifting power by 35% without needing any additional energy input. The weight of the loaded attachment generates pressure in the tilt rams which is transferred to the PCH rams and supports the lifting process. 14

15 Precision is everything. Always at the right angle. To help you choose the best operating angle for the attachment you are using, the self-levelling rams have two possible positions: 1 Pallet position Ideal for handling pallets and bales, because the attachment angle remains unchanged. 2 Bucket position Suitable for all bulk goods. The bucket is tilted slightly inwards during lifting, preventing the contents from falling out. 1 Pallet position 2 Bucket position PCH hydraulic self-levelling linkage 15

16 Effective damping for all-round protection. SHOCK ELIMINATOR. The ability to work quickly and precisely without undue stress is the top priority during the working day. The multifunction control lever guarantees a high standard of comfort, precision and performance. Additionally, the SHOCK ELIMINATOR damping system absorbs loader vibrations, protecting the tractor, driver and front loader from shocks. Less fatigue and improved concentration produce better work results throughout the day. The SHOCK ELIMINATOR can be switched off for special applications. Front loader without vibration damping Thanks to an electric switching valve, the optional safety valves can be combined with the SHOCK ELIMINATOR vibration damping system, providing maximum safety and driving comfort at the same time. Front loader with vibration damping The SHOCK ELIMINATOR employs a nitrogen-filled accumulator to reliably minimise impacts, jolts, physical shocks and vibrations. 16

17 Protects the front loader. The SHOCK ELIMINATOR suppresses the jolts that occur when the loader is stopped abruptly during lowering. Protects the tractor. The SHOCK ELIMINATOR absorbs the impacts that are otherwise transferred to the tractor and cab when driving on uneven surfaces. Protects the driver. Protects the load. The SHOCK ELIMINATOR prevents goods from being lost or damaged, regardless of whether you're handling bales or bulk goods. Protects your finances. The SHOCK ELIMINATOR significantly reduces the stresses placed on the front loader, attachment and tractor a simple but effective way of extending the service life of all components. The SHOCK ELIMINATOR minimises cab vibration and provides even greater comfort. SHOCK ELIMINATOR 17

18 Integrated hydraulic lines. To minimise the risk of physical damage, all lines are routed inside the lift arms. This protection eliminates the cause of many repairs and has the added advantage of improving the driver's view of the working area. Protected grease nipples. All the grease nipples are recessed in the pins and do not protrude beyond the front loader profile. This means they are well protected and easily accessible. Precision tilt indicator. The easily visible tilt indicator keeps you informed about the angle of the attachment in relation to the ground. This allows the driver to position the attachment precisely whilst lowering. 18

19 Top quality, right down to the smallest detail. Quality and durability. The combination of a CLAAS tractor and front loader sets new benchmarks for quality these units can master even the most demanding and heavy-duty tasks with ease. Rugged lift arms. The special design of the lift arms makes them extremely rugged, and ensures excellent visibility under all conditions. The front loader bracket transmits the mechanical loads evenly throughout the tractor the weight is distributed along the tractor's full length. All pivot points are lubricated and reinforced with a welded, replaceable bush to ensure a long service life. Quality 19
