2 Test criterion Test result Rating Power very low + + Quality of work very good + + Working speed very high + + Rating scale: ++ / + / / / ( = standard) The Claas DISCO 3500 Contour is equipped with a hydropneumatic suspension function. Required and consequently also fuel were reduced in the test by varying the relief pressure. Hydropneumatic relief allows the user to respond flexibly to the prevailing conditions and at the same time save. As expected, the reduction in fuel can be intensified by reducing the p.t.o. shaft speed. The quality of work achieved by the mower was very good in all test conditions. Description and specifications The DISCO Contour series built by Claas comprises four rear-mounted disc mowers without conditioner with a working width from 2.60 to 3.80 m. With a theoretical working width of 3.0 m, the DISCO 3500 Contour is positioned within this series. The technical features of the DISCO Contour mowers include central suspension of the cutter bar and a ground pressure which can be hydropneumatically varied while driving (CLAAS Active Float). The cutter bar is connected to the tool frame via a floating (damped) central suspension and includes mechanical ride-on protection. The cutting discs are driven via the tractor p.t.o. shaft. According to the operator manual, the manufacturer currently recommends a speed of rpm. For lowering into working Summary 1: Specifications Specifications Power, tractor (kw/hp) 1 51/70 Service weight (kg, with swath disc outside) 970 Theoretical working width (m) Practical working width (m) According to the manufacturer 2 Mean value from 3 consecutive runs. The practical working width depends on the tractor gauge, the setting of the hitch pins and the accuracy with which consecutive runs are undertaken. position, a double-acting valve is needed on the tractor, plus a singleacting hydraulic control unit for the hydropneumatic relief function. In transport position, the cutter bar is located in a vertical 1 position and additionally locked mechanically. This displaces the centre of gravity towards the centre of the tractor, thus increasing stability when driving. At an angle of more than 90, the mower is danpend via a special cylinder so that it folds up towards the frame gently and without damaging the machine. DLG Test Report 5950 F Page 2 of 8

3 Test content and execution In keeping with the DLG test framework for mowers, the DLG FocusTest "Power and work quality" measured at the p.t.o. shaft, the tractive, fuel, tensile, lateral and supporting forces, ground pressure on the weighbridge, per unit area, the extent to which the forage is fouled and maintenance of the cutting height. During the test runs, the p.t.o. shaft speed, ground pressure and cutting height were changed while travelling at different speeds. Measurements were undertaken for the first cut on permanent grassland and arable forage on 21 May Yield was estimated at 397. dt/ha fresh weight (58 dt/ha dry weight) for the grasslands and at 16.8 dt/ha fresh weight (57.5 dt/ha dry weight) for the arable forage. The height of vegetation equalled 60 cm in grasslands, with a high proportion of dandelion and white clover; the arable forage, a homogeneous lolium crop, was 75 cm high. The cut grass was laid out in broad swaths. The test was carried out in very damp conditions. The soil moisture level amounted to 22% in the grasslands and 16.5% for the arable forage. Both types of forage grew on sandy loam (sl) soils. Air temperature during the test runs was 17 C, with a relative humidity of 82%, a wind speed of 1 m/s and an atmospheric pressure of hpa. A CLAAS Arion 50 with 96 kw (130 HP) rating was used as test tractor. This tractor was equipped with the modular measurement system used by the DLG Test Centre. Other criteria were not tested or assessed. Test results Ground pressure The ground pressure of the DISCO 3500 Contour can be infinitely varied via a single-acting hydraulic cylinder on the mower without leaving the driver's seat. This allows the driver to actively respond to uneven ground, changing soil conditions or water holes in the crop, as well as to undertake a "floating" cut for mowing borders. The recommended relief pressure setting is between 90 and 120 bar. The basic setting for "normal mowing conditions" is 100 bar. Table 1: Measurement of ground pressure on the weighbridge Relief (bar) Ground pressure (kg) Before starting the test runs, the ground pressure was measured on a weighbridge at different relief pressure settings. As shown in Table 1, the ground pressure decreases with increasing relief pressure. Power requirement, p.t.o. shaft and fuel Performance and values were measured at 3 working speeds (12, and 18 km/h), as well as at the optimum relief pressure setting of 120 bar for this test (wet conditions). The cutting height was set to 6 cm. The and fuel both declined with decreasing travel speed. The specific requirement must be considered very low with a maximum value of 9.9 kw/m working width. For both types of forage, the DISCO 3500 Contour remained within this low range up to a speed of 18 km/h (Tables 2 and 3). In one test version, the p.t.o. shaft speed was reduced from rpm to 850 rpm and the cutting height was set to cm. On average for all test versions, this setting reduced the of the p.t.o. shaft by 23%, the total by 17% and fuel by the CLAAS Arion by %. In addition to a customary travel speed of 12 km/h, these test runs were also undertaken at a very high speed of 20 km/h. Here too, the reduction in p.t.o. shaft speed resulted in a very low specific requirement of less than 10 kw/m (Tables and 5). Relieving the mower while simultaneously maintaining the travel speed also yielded a tangible reduction in. On average, the of the p.t.o. shaft decreased by 2% in the test, total decreasing by 8% and fuel by 2.5%. One striking point is that the differences are less pronounced in the case of arable forage. This is due to the homogeneous nature of the crop and the levelness of the field soil. The cutting height was set to cm (Tables 6 and 7). DLG Test Report 5950 F Page 3 of 8

The hillside had a gradient of approx. (30%). Tests were carried out with the mower facing uphill as well as downhill (see Figures 2 and 3). For the hillside tests, the relief pressure was varied while driving. Corresponding adjustment of the relief pressure while driving reduces the mower's lateral pull on the tractor this can help to reduce the downward drift when working on slopes. Lateral pull correlates well with the positive and negative traction forces on the lower links of the tractor. A balanced relationship between the traction force acting on the left and right-hand lower links is desirable. The supporting forces acting on the right and left-hand lower links can also be influenced by adjusting the relief cylinder; when set correctly, this can have a positive effect on the hillside stability of the tractortrailer combination. Information concerning the adjustment can be found in the manufacturer's operating instructions. The total supporting force does not change significantly, so that the front axle is not relieved additionally (steerability).

6 Quality of work Fouling of the forage To determine the extent to which the forage is fouled, 5 separate samples were taken from the windrow and combined into a hybrid sample. These forage samples were analysed by LUFA Nord-West. To make the test conditions more difficult, the cutting height was set to cm. With a crude ash content of less than 9%, an assessment is impossible since the natural content in unfouled forage equals approx. 9%. In grasslands, the crude ash content increases with the increasing concentration of legumes and herbs; in addition, the soil is usually less level than on tilled fields, with the result that crude ash contents above and beyond the natural fouling cannot be established here. In both types of forage, no more than a tendency towards lower fouling can therefore be detected when the relief pressure is increased.

7 Handling Figure 6: The relief pressure is indicated on a pressure gauge on the mounting block of the mower which can be read off by the driver without leaving his seat. However, the driver must turn through 180 for this purpose. The red area represents the recommended range. Figure 7: When riding onto an obstacle, the ride-on protection is tripped and the cutter bar swings up to the rear. It is returned to its original position and locked in place by briefly and sharply reversing the tractor. Figure 8: The cutter bar is aligned via the lifting gear of the tractor so that the tip of the red arrow is lined up and level with the recess on the opposite flat bar. These can be seen from the cab. Figure 9: The DISCO 3500 Contour is equipped with a quick-change system for cutter blades as standard. The mounting lever of the mower is inserted between the cutting disc and knife holder. The knife is released by pressing the mounting lever down and can then be replaced.
