That's basically what I had figured too.. Claas is not normally known for sourcing alot their products in eastern europe, or for that matter outside of their own company.
The cutting bar in the Claas mower is made by Comer as is those in the trailed Poettinger and SaMasz trailed disc mowers. The Claas Disco is a well built machine, and I'm just not terribly sure of it's cutting performance.

Agrostroj Pelhrimov makes all the Claas grass pickups. A lot of other stuff too.

Just reading through this I noticed no one mentions MacDon. Maybe someone else makes their headers, but when my brother and I had the custom harvesting operation, we used the MacDon auger/sicle header (cant remember the model #) 14' with the steel on steel crimper behind the header on the 9300 power unit. It was great in alfalfa hay. Some was cut for the customer to chop, most was cut for us to do the baling. For the customers who wanted big windrows, we used the 21' draper and no conditioner. When the chopper was going to be in the field same day as I was cutting, I'd pick up my previous windrow with that header and set it and the other 18' that I was cutting all in one spot to give them 37-39 feet of hay all in one swath. Both setups worked great. Put 3100 problem free hours on the power unit in 3 years of making hay. Swapping headers took about 15 minutes. With other operators running, and in fields with rocks, there was a LOT of header damage, though.
