Even in front loader work. For front loaders, in particular, the connection to the tractor is very important in order to guarantee safe, fast loading operations. When developing the ELIOS series, it was therefore very important for the mounting brackets to be fully integrated into the complete tractor concept. The brackets are positioned a long way back, providing stability during heavy work. The robust bolted connection between the front loader bracket, made from high-strength cast steel, and the engine half frame does not compromise the steering lock or ease of maintenance. The design of the mounting bracket allows a CLAAS front loader to be retrofitted at a later date.
The CLAAS front loader on the ELIOS is operated via the ELECTROPILOT (electronic) which is integrated into the side console, FLEXPILOT (hydraulically pilot-operated control valve) with an additional 4-way control lever or PROPILOT (mechanical operation with Bowden cables). The ELECTROPILOT and FLEXPILOT are very easy to use because the control functions are extremely smooth and easy to regulate.
The ELECTROPILOT is the simplest, most convenient way of operating the front loader. For fast loading, your right hand can rest comfortably on the ELECTROPILOT on the right-hand side console. Naturally, the 3rd and 4th functions are also integrated into the ELECTROPILOT. Your left hand steers and operates the REVERSHIFT lever or the mechanical reverser when changing direction. For continuously variable restriction of maximum lifting and lowering speeds, you can easily adjust the flow rates to the electronic spool valve for the front loader on the ELECTROPILOT.
You can also use the ELECTROPILOT to operate two spool valves at the rear when the front loader is not attached.
