VARIANT 470 / 450

The entry-level model.

Every field is different, every day is different, and every harvest is different from the one before. That's no problem, because, with its high productivity and optimum convenience for the operator, the VARIANT is right at home in any field. Whatever the crop – hay, straw, silage or regenerating raw materials such as hemp – CLAAS has the right VARIANT for contractors and  machinery syndicates alike.

Patented wrapping system.

The completely reworked guiding plate provides even more reliable bale wrapping. The plate is open during baling, then closes during wrapping. It all adds up to an extremely reliable wrapping system.

VARIANT 470 / 450

Extra wide wrapping.

The patented CLAAS COVERED wrapping system provides bale coverage right up to the edge, and the CLAAS COVERED XW system even a few centimetres around it – for a neat, professional-looking end result.

Pick-up clutch.

As in the QUADRANT, the shear bolt has been replaced by a pick-up coupling as standard in all pick-ups with roller crop presses. This allows you to utilise the full power and speed of your press without risking possible shear bolt breakage.

Choice of four different operating terminals.

The machine can be fitted with four different operating systems: OPERATOR, COMMUNICATOR II, S10 steering system and, of course, EASY on board.
