Front loaders FL 120-40 C.
Everything in hand.
Design, comfort, reliability and performance in an ultramodern
guise – these are the characteristics you know and value in
CLAAS products. CLAAS front loaders are no exception.
Seamlessly integrated, robust, easy to attach and remove –
these characteristics of CLAAS front loaders further enhance
your tractor's versatility.
FL C front loaders can be tailored exactly to customer
requirements and are ideal partners for your CLAAS tractor.
Whether used on a daily basis or just occasionally, or intended
for light or heavy front loader work, the wide range of
deployment options with or without mechanical parallel
guidance or MACH multicoupler makes these front loaders the
perfect choice.

A well-rehearsed team.
Front loaders and tractors from CLAAS.
The front loaders in the FL C series are perfectly matched to
your CLAAS tractor and the challenges you face in your dayto-day work. Whether you're working around the farm or in
the fields, they are ideal when it comes to handling straw and
silage bales, manure handling, feeding, loading trailers and
much more besides.
Our front loaders make the most of the manoeuvrability,
hydraulic power and efficiency of CLAAS tractors. Together,
they make a perfectly balanced, powerful unit which can
handle the toughest of tasks.

Front loaders and tractors
Perfectly integrated front loaders.
The front loader mounting brackets have been specially
designed for CLAAS tractors and transfer mechanical forces
across the entire implement frame. They are perfectly
matched, allowing ready access to all maintenance points
without restricting your tractor's manoeuvrability. This ensures
that you can work productively and save yourself a lot of
valuable time.
Whether your front loader is installed at the factory or
retrofitted, it will complement your tractor perfectly – boosting
the versatility and economic efficiency of all CLAAS tractors
from 70 to 184 hp.
Clear view.
Thanks to the wide FOPS (Falling Object Protective Structure)
transparent sunroof, all CLAAS tractor models are ideally
equipped for safe front loader work. You have a clear view of
the entire working area for loading and are well protected from
any falling materials.

As a result, existing attachments can still be used with the
new FL C front loader.
The ingenious design reduces lifting power requirements and
provides ideal crowding and dumping angles.

Changing attachments
MACH 2.
You can easily connect the hydraulic couplings between the
attachments and front loader in just one action, even when
the lines are under pressure – you'll never mix up the
connections again. The couplings have a flat seal, making oil
stains on the ground a thing of the past.
FASTLOCK.
With FASTLOCK, attachments can be hydraulically locked and
unlocked from the comfort of the cab.
With FASTLOCK one press of a button is all it takes to lock or
unlock the attachment.
11
Ready in record time.
Only leave your cab once.
With a combination of FITLOCK and MACH, you only need to
leave your cab once to connect the FL C front loader. Just
drive the tractor up to the lift arms: as soon as the FITLOCK
system is pre-locked, you get out of the cab, connect the
multi-coupling system and stow the support legs in the cross
beam. It's that easy!
Drive in

The support legs are stored in the cross beam on
the lift arms and are always close to hand. They do
not impair the driver's field of vision.

FITLOCK | MACH
MACH – just one action.
With the MACH multi-coupling system, you can easily connect
all the hydraulic and electrical connections in just one action,
even when the lines are under pressure. Simply place the
multi-coupling system on the tractor bracket, pull the handle
down and everything is perfectly connected. The hydraulic
connectors have flat seals so they don't drip and remain clean
and dry. Problems caused by dirt in the hydraulic system or
wrong connections are now a thing of the past.
FITLOCK for effortless attachment and
removal.
With the FITLOCK system, you can fit and replace the loader
without tools – and without stress. Mounting the FL C front
loader is child's play. FITLOCK allows you to mount it quickly,
safely and easily in any situation, even on uneven surfaces.
The pre-lock mechanism secures the connection before the
front loader locks fully into position.
From your driving position in the cab, a glance at the lock
indicator is all it takes to check that the lift arms are properly
engaged. Detaching the loader is just as quick and easy.
13
In safe hands.
SHOCK ELIMINATOR.
Seamless interaction between tractor and front loader is
essential for fast, comfortable operation. Vibration damping
protects the tractor, front loader and driver from vibrations and
shocks and enables both operator and machine to work in a
more focused way with minimum stress. The SHOCK
ELIMINATOR ensures that capacity is fully utilised throughout
the day and guarantees a very long service life.

SHOCK ELIMINATOR.
14
Mechanical self-levelling linkage (PCM) | SHOCK ELIMINATOR | Safety
Mechanical self-levelling linkage (PCM)
All FL C front loaders can be equipped with a PCM
mechanical self-levelling linkage, which maintains the angle of
the attachment precisely and automatically. The modern
design of the PCM provides excellent stability and a good
view of the attachment.
High load capacity, high load safety.
A 47° crowd angle at ground level gives the attachment a high
fill capacity, particularly when transporting bulk materials. The
crowd angle increases to 71° at a lift height of 1.2 metres,
effectively preventing unnecessary material losses.
Safety valve.
Optional safety valves for the lift and tilt rams guarantee safety
when using a work platform. The valve is not activated until
pressure is actively applied to a line, and closes automatically
if pressure is lost, preventing uncontrolled movements of the
lift arms.

The front loader bracket transmits the mechanical loads
evenly throughout the tractor – the weight is distributed along
the tractor's full length. All pivot points are lubricated and
