The Claas Convio Flex 1080 is a platform header — sometimes called a draper header or flex header — a type of cutting attachment designed to be mounted on a combine harvester for harvesting grain, oilseed, and other crops at the field's surface. Claas is a well-established German agricultural machinery manufacturer known for producing combines, forage harvesters, and a broad range of harvesting equipment used by professional farmers and large-scale operations worldwide.
This unit is a 35-foot flex draper configuration, meaning the cutting platform uses a draper belt system to feed crop material laterally toward the central feeder house while the cutter bar flexes to follow ground contours closely — a key advantage when harvesting low-growing or down crops. The auto contour sensing bands work alongside this flex capability, automatically detecting and responding to changes in terrain to maintain consistent cutting height and ground contact without constant operator intervention.
The header is equipped with top cross augers, which assist in gathering and consolidating crop material at the centre of the platform for smooth, even feeding into the combine. Vertical side knife preparation is included, readying the machine for the fitment of vertical cutting knives that allow cleaner separations between standing crop rows in certain harvesting conditions. An integrated transport system simplifies moving the header between fields and on public roads without the need for a separate header trailer. The LED lighting package extends the available working hours into low-light conditions, an important practical feature during time-sensitive harvest windows.
