Claas has announced six new FL front loaders offering lift capacities from 940kg up to 2,490kg, and lift heights up to 4.5m.
The new loaders are available on Axos and Arion machines and replace the previous FL C generation. They offer a three-section design, with a double-angled boom that shifts the pivot point of the parallelogram downwards 20cm. This is said to provide a better view of the frame and attachment from the cabin.
Fitlock coupling has been retained, with a fully automatic, mechanical locking mechanism. When fitted with the Mach multi-coupler, all hydraulic and electric lines can be fitted in one action. Claas also offers the optional, hydraulic Fastlock system, enabling attachments to locked at the press of a button.
Third and four functions can be connected with the Mach 2 system and a pressure relief system for the third function is available on request. Automatic bucket return functionality completes the setup, with optional LED work lights also available.
