The Claas Direct Disc 50 is a grain header designed for combine harvesting operations. Claas is a leading European manufacturer of agricultural machinery, known for building harvesting equipment and forage systems for grain and grassland farming. This header is the cutting and gathering unit that attaches to a combine harvester to cut and feed grain crops into the threshing mechanism.
This 2020 Direct Disc 500 header features a working width of 5.13 metres and is equipped with a direct-cut disc mechanism. The machine incorporates a pendulum frame for flexibility across uneven terrain, and dual side-separation knives on both left and right to manage crop flow. The intake auger has a large diameter and operates at three adjustable speed settings, enabling high throughput capacity and capability to handle heavy crop yields. Two externally driven MAX CUT cutting bars with quick-change knife cartridges and SAFETY LINK modules provide precise cutting and operator protection.
The header's hydraulic architecture includes premium-line material flow components and features mechanical side compensation and pressure regulation on the gathering shoes to ensure consistent, clean cutting quality across varying ground conditions. A three-stage gearbox optimises crop flow to match harvest conditions and different cut lengths. The header can be engaged under full load through a time-delayed activation sequence for the cutting units. Mechanical height-hold adjusters and a quick-coupler with central locking simplify attachment and operation.
The machine comes with a dedicated two-axle transport cart rated for speeds up to 40 km/h, fitted with 260/ tyres on both axles, mudguards, parking and running brakes, two support wedges, lighting, and a mechanical loading lock with tool-free engagement. An orientation aid for header positioning is included. The machine is located in Austria and is offered in used condition from 2020.
