2023 CLAAS VARIANT 500 Series 565 RC

Highlights are the SMART DENSITY density management system, the ROTO CUT HD cutting rotor with 17 knives and the patented tying with an independent net brake system. The VARIANT is your reliable performer for high density at high speeds and optimal binding - no matter your conditions.

For optimum belt tensioning in every condition, the SMART density management system controls the two tensioning arms independently of one another. Need rock hard bales both inside and out? Or would you prefer a soft core for your hay bales with a solid outer shell?

VARIANT round balers have unmatched bale density in all crops, from wet baleage to dusty straw, these machines get the crop packed tightly. More material in one bale equals fewer bales to handle, less fuel, less labor, less net wrap, and less depreciation used per year. Studies have also shown that dense baleage preserves crop nutrients longer when wrapped with high-quality silage film. Less feed loss, better feed-to-gain, and more money in your pocket are just some benefits of dense bales from the VARIANT round baler.

Your hay is a little too wet with 20% moisture, but rain is moving closer? You want to have a softer core for less residue in your ring feeder? Or need some light bales for easier transport? With the VARIANT, you get a real soft core for your bales thanks to the two independent tensioning arms. Without leaving your cab, you can change from high density to real soft core bales and even choose a small, medium or large diameter for this soft core. Always bale the perfect bale. VARIANT stands for versatility.

A classy black look with smooth and easy-to-clean surfaces make the CEMIS 700 an eye-catcher from the first glace. On second glance, even more advantages become visible: In addition to 10 backlit ISOBUS hard keys, there is a rotary/push control on the terminal as a control element. And the high-contrast color display with touch surface offers automatic day/night switching. All this makes it very easy to get started for baling: Simply go to your settings menu to select your crop, your bale size and your bale pressure - and you're ready to go!

The VARIANT has everything you need to make light work of net wrapping. Thanks to the low height, it's easy to load the roll and you can keep sight of it at all times. Dirt and crop residue can easily fall off so that the net roll always remains clean. The braking system of the patented tying system works independently of the size of roll.

While working, you have an excellent view of the pick-up and the net wrap or twine. With regards to the pick-up, this allows you to adjust the work rate as required. Depending on the crop and crop flow, you can push the machine to its limits to achieve maximum performance. With regards to the tying system, this allows you to monitor the roll and the tying process. When your role of net wrap or twine is empty, the reduced height enables easy and safe roll changes.

Sitting on a roller, dirt or crop residue directly fall out and the role of net wrap of twine always remains clean. The tried-and-tested COVERED XW net wrap, which is 51" (1.30 m) wide to cover the edge of the bale is part of the standard equipment. With the covered edge, bales stored outside shed water easily and film-wrapped baleage have smooth edges without crop sticking through. As an option, all models can be equipped with twine binding as usual.
