Claas introduced its new Volto hay tenders and Disco mower conditioners to the European market in early 2024. The company recently announced it intends to make those implements available to North American producers in time for the 2025 season.
There are two Volto models, the 1300 and 1500, available in T or TS configurations. The TS models are equipped with a self-steering chassis when in working position. The wheels automatically revert to straight ahead configuration when the rotors are raised.
The 1300 has 12 four-foot, 11-inch rotors and the 1500 has 14. The rotor frame uses double-hinged arms for improved ability to follow terrain.

To mark its 25th anniversary in the hay and forage sector, Claas has introduced four new Disco Series mower conditioners, the Disco 9300 C Comfort, 9300 RC Comfort and 9300 C AS Business. It is also releasing a Comfort version of the Disco 1100.
The new Discos are available with working widths of just over 29 feet (8.9 and 9.1 metres). They can be ordered with a standard tine conditioner in the “C model”, a double-roller drive roller conditioner in the “RC” model or tine conditioner with Auto Swather in the “C AS” behind the conditioner to produce a single windrow.
“These machines continue to build on the past knowledge we have gained from running and testing in North America and around the world,” said Mark Scuffham, product manager for Claas of America, in a press release.
“We are excited to bring these latest innovations to the North American market in 2025, adding to our lineup of ever-expanding hay tools.”
