What the Quadrant 5200 is used for
The Quadrant 5200 is aimed at contractors and larger farms handling substantial straw or silage acreage. Its large-square bale has a 1.2 m by 0.7 m cross-section, with adjustable length, allowing the operator to match the bale to transport, handling and storage needs.

Why the Claas Quadrant 5200 stands out
The Quadrant 5200 stands out as a high-capacity large-square baler for dense, uniform straw and silage bales. Six-twine tying and up to 51 cutting knives suit demanding contractor work, while adjustable bale length offers practical flexibility. It requires about 150 PTO hp minimum, so tractor matching and thorough driveline checks are essential.
Buying a used Claas Quadrant 5200
This baler has no engine, so engine smoke and oil-pressure checks are not relevant; concentrate on the PTO driveline, gearbox, pickup, plunger area, knotters and hydraulics. Test the six-twine tying system, inspect knives where fitted, and look for leaks, bearing noise, corrosion and damaged tinwork. Confirm the serial number and original specification, including knife equipment. Have it inspected, confirm figures and originality against TractorData.com and club records, and check current listings rather than a fixed price, as values vary by condition.
