The Claas Orbis 450 is a forage header manufactured by Claas, the German agricultural machinery company renowned for combine harvesters, forage equipment, and mechanised harvesting solutions across cereal and silage production. A forage header is a specialised cutting attachment designed to harvest and process chopped forage—typically maize, grass, or legume crops—for livestock feed. It mounts to compatible Claas forage harvester chassis and performs the critical function of gathering and initially processing crop material before delivery to the main chopping mechanism.
This 2013 model is currently configured for mounting on Claas machines from the 494 series and newer, making it compatible with a wide range of modern Claas forage harvester platforms. The header has been actively maintained and upgraded: it features new knives for reliable cutting performance, and the skid shoes have been rebuilt to ensure smooth ground contact and even cutting height. The machine is equipped with a down corn kit, an attachment specifically engineered to improve maize stalk handling and feed consistency during operation. All mounting hardware and interface components are present and fitted for direct integration onto compatible Claas chassis.
The unit is in used condition and is located in Iowa, USA. It is priced at $47,500.
