The six new models from FL 40C to FL 140 cover lift capacities from 940kg to 2,490kg (measured 80cm in front of the bucket pivot point) and a breakaway force from 1,820kg to 3,120kg. Maximum lift heights at the bucket pivot point range from 3.50m to 4.50m.
The new loaders feature an innovative three-section design, complementing the design of the Claas tractors. The double-angled boom shifts the pivot point mechanism of the parallelogram downwards by more than 20cm. This gives the operator an even better view of the frame and attachment, especially as the front crossbeam has been lowered by 10cm. The boom is also designed for the most demanding tasks. All hydraulic hoses are integrated into the frame for protection.
The familiar Firlock coupling system from the FL and FL C front loaders has been retained and the locking mechanism is fully automatic and entirely mechanical. To unlock, you simply release a small lever on the boom. With the Mach multi-coupling system, all hydraulic and electrical lines can be connected to the tractor in an instant – without the need for any additional plug connections. This system makes the job of attaching the front loader fast and safe.
With the optional hydraulic Fastlock system, attachments can be locked at the press of a button from the comfort of the cab, in addition to automatic mechanical locking. Third and fourth functions can be connected via the Mach 2 multi-coupler, which features leak-free, flat-seal couplings. A pressure relief function for the third function is available on request.
The automatic bucket return function automatically returns the bucket to the horizontal loading position – increasing operator comfort and productivity to boot. Optional LED work lights illuminate the loading area perfectly in the dark.
