Maize cob silage (MCS) harvesting.

The adapter allows a six or eight-row combine harvester maize picker to be attached to the JAGUAR. The robust transfer gearbox transmits the drive from the JAGUAR. The adapter has a feed roller to optimise the crop flow from the front attachment to the JAGUAR intake.

MCS is forage with a high energy concentration and is primarily used in cattle farming for milk and meat production.

As the name suggests, maize cob silage consists of maize kernels, the cobs themselves and the husk leaves – the leaves which cover the cob. CLAAS has a recommendation for additional equipment in order to achieve the highest possible degree of crop processing:

• Micro-rasp bars for the JAGUAR 800 series
• Friction bar wedge installed behind the mounting block (JAGUAR 800)
• Friction concave plates
• MULTI CROP CRACKER with fine meshed rollers and 60% speed difference
• MULTI CROP CRACKER MAX
