The Claas Disco 3600 TRC Contour Mower Conditioner is a trailed forage mower designed for high-capacity haymaking and silage production. Claas is a leading European manufacturer of agricultural machinery for forage harvesting and crop processing. This mower-conditioner performs the dual function of cutting standing crop and conditioning it—breaking down plant material to accelerate drying—in a single pass, making it essential equipment for operations targeting rapid forage preparation and consistent chop quality.
This unit features a working width of 11.2 feet (3.4 meters), delivering full swath coverage across the machine's span. The mower is equipped with a roller conditioner, which works the cut material to improve moisture extraction and promote even drying. The machine is mounted on a central drawbar hitch (2-point) that pivots via a hydropneumatic suspension system, allowing the operator to angle the mower to either side for flexible swathing patterns and full utilization of the working width in all directions. This pivot design is stabilized by dual double-acting rams, one of which acts as a mechanical stop.
The cutter bar employs Claas's disc mower design and is suspended by four springs within a stable frame construction, enabling the bar to float smoothly over ground contours while minimizing wear. The suspension geometry helps reduce ground pressure and impact damage. When the mower encounters obstacles such as large rocks, the entire unit automatically pivots up and back until safely clear, then returns to its original cutting position—a safety feature that reduces potential collision damage.
Power transmission is handled via a rugged, swivelling drive head connected to the tractor's PTO at 1000 rpm. The PTO shaft features flexible design elements that resist bending even when navigating tight curves, minimizing wear during turning. The lower link attachment point incorporates a free-moving bracket to accommodate various tractor geometries and track widths.
Maintenance access is simplified by folding protective covers that expose the mower bar and service points without tools. The seller reports that this used unit has undergone a complete rebuild of the cutter bar and front curtains and is fully field ready.
