PRACTICAL TEST: If you think a four-rotor rake has to be high-tech, think again. Not only is the entry-level Liner 3600 relatively simple, but it also delivers high outputs
Usually when it comes to the profi Practical Tests, the supplied machines are brimming with options, such as the almost fully loaded Amazone trailed sprayer we looked at last month. So, when it came to test the Claas Liner 3600 we chose to keep things simple and went with the bog-standard, entry-level version of the firm’s smaller four-rotor rake.
This 9.90m to 12.50 machine is towed from the lower links. These are in the correct position when the rake is sitting slightly forward. Disconnected oil hoses are stored in on-board brackets, and the electric plugs are placed on the frame. We liked the guide bar that safely routes the pipes and wires to the tractor. Another neat touch is the massive parking stand, which has a reasonable handle and a spring-loaded locking pin.
