NUTRIMETER:

The new NUTRIMETER is a precision sensor for measuring dry matter and constituents on the spot in the field. NEW: The portable housing makes it easy to transfer the unit for use in multiple machines. Within the CLAAS connect package, it forms the basis for precise documentation and visualisation of the crop. With automatic length-of-cut control and precise silage additive dosage, forage quality is assured.

CLAAS maize picker adapter for the JAGUAR:

The CLAAS adapter for harvesting maize cob silage allows a combine harvester maize picker to be attached to the JAGUAR. The newly developed intake drum design increases the harvest yield of maize cob silage by up to 30 % (internal measurement in comparison to competitors). Used in combination with the integrated AUTO CONTOUR function, the maize picker is able to maintain a consistent stubble height in uneven terrain, harvest losses are kept to a minimum and forage quality is improved to a significant degree. The adapter is ideal for high throughput rates and high-performance, cost-effective production of maize cob silage.

SHREDLAGE®

SHREDLAGE® processes the crop intensively and increases the surface area of the chopped material many times over.

NEW:

CEMOS AUTO CROP FLOW

The crop feed can be stopped automatically when detection of a preset engine speed causes the feeder unit and front attachment to be switched off. In this way, it is possible to avoid downtime in critical harvesting conditions.

Drive power is tailored to the requirements of each front attachment.

Front attachment drive.

All the front attachment drives are integrated in the main drive train. In this way, the front attachment drive, feeder drive, chopping cylinder speed, accelerator and corncracker are able to react equally to engine speed variations. The advantage for you is that a constant length of cut is always maintained.

Two independent, variable front attachment drives.

Suitable for PICK UP with two variable drives, which are independent of each other, for intake auger and pick-up reel
Variable drive for intake auger via quick release coupler with speed adjusted automatically in accordance with the length of cut and driving speed
Hydraulic drive for pick-up reel with automatic speed adjustment in accordance with the driving speed

Drive power matched to your needs.

Mechanical drive.

For conventional use where there is no requirement for automated speed adjustment in constant harvesting conditions
Driven by the chopping cylinder shaft, all-mechanical with constant speed
Engaged via a belt clutch to the quick-release coupler

Split-power front attachment drive.

Front attachment driven mechanically via the chopping cylinder shaft with additional hydrostatic support and maximum power transmission at constant revs.
Suitable for direct mechanical drive of DIRECT DISC and maize pickers.
With the right-hand drive belt removed, the front attachment is driven hydraulically with variable speed adjustment for PICK UP and ORBIS.
The variable speed adjustment, which can be automated, enables an even crop flow for top-quality chopped material

Variable front attachment drive.

For ORBIS maize front attachments and PICK UP
All-hydrostatic drive
Manual or automatic speed adjustment to the preset length of cut with low power requirement

We have an outstanding support team for you.

CEMOS AUTO PERFORMANCE.

CEMOS allows you to harvest more efficiently – an improvement in the area/hour (ha/h) rate of up to 7% with a 12% fuel saving is possible. In order to increase efficiency and reduce fuel consumption, the JAGUAR maintains the engine speed set by the operator and adjusts the engine output and ground speed in accordance with the volume harvested. When the volume harvested increases, the ground speed is reduced. A reduction in the volume harvested results in the automatic reduction of the engine output.

The advantages for you.

A steady engine speed for a steady harvesting process
Even crop flow for highly reliable operation
Lower fuel consumption as a result of operating in an efficient engine speed range
Pleasant driving characteristics thanks to absence of sudden load changes
Operator's workload is reduced in demanding harvesting situations

Four assistants for extremely precise steering during harvesting.

Dynamic steering for the JAGUAR.

As the machine takes about five steering wheel turns to go from lock to lock, many operators prefer a reduced steering effort when they have to turn at the end of the field. The dynamic steering system makes it possible to go from straight-ahead running to full lock in only ⅔ of a steering wheel turn when travelling below 10 km/h. The intensity of the dynamic steering response can be adjusted as required in CEBIS. This means that individualised settings can be programmed, with different responses possible on the basis of whether the front attachment is in the working position or not.

Seeing with CAM PILOT.

The CAM PILOT assumes control of steering the JAGUAR in combination with the PICK UP. The swath is detected as a three-dimensional image by a twin-lens camera. Corresponding signals are transmitted to the steering mechanism in the event of deviations in the swath shape or direction. The steering axle then responds to these steering commands. This makes for reduced operator workload at speeds up to 15 km/h.

Sensor-based with AUTO PILOT.

Even row-independent maize front attachments usually follow maize in rows - a task in which they are assisted by the AUTO PILOT. Two sensor arms each scan a row of maize. The signals they generate are translated into corrective steering impulses. Twin-row sensing allows automatic steering in row widths from 37.5 cm up to 80 cm.

Guidance by GPS PILOT.

The GPS PILOT uses satellite signals to steer the JAGUAR reliably and with unbeatable precision along parallel tracks, curved contours at the crop edge, or reference lines defined by the operator. It is possible for the operator to make use of the full working width and to reduce overlaps to a significant degree. You start the GPS PILOT via the multifunction lever. It actively controls the steering hydraulics and guides you across the field precisely at all speeds, regardless of the light conditions. It works at night or in low visibility just as precisely as it does in full daylight. You receive correction signals for whichever degree of accuracy you require. Existing GPS track lines in ISO XML format —produced by a swather during grass harvesting or generated during maize sowing, for example — can be used with the GPS steering system of the JAGUAR.

CLAAS PREMIUM LINE.

CLAAS PREMIUM LINE parts provide very high wear resistance and a long service life.

Easier than ever.

Operation.

The JAGUAR can be operated without previous knowledge. This means that even new operators can quickly handle the machine safely and reliably and make use of its performance capacity.

The touchscreen CEBIS gives you fast access to all the machine functions. The most important adjustments can even be made directly by means of switches on the armrest. Precise operation is ensured under all conditions, whether it's a question of a bumpy ride across a field or an operator who is just getting used to the system. You can adjust and operate the JAGUAR in four ways, as required.

CEBIS responds immediately to a simple tap on the touchscreen. You have direct access to all the machine functions – such as CEMOS AUTO PERFORMANCE.
Seven settings can be programmed as favourites and accessed by rocker switches on the CMOTION control lever. You can therefore concentrate on watching the front attachment and crop flow.
Even when operating in bumpy terrain, you can easily navigate the CEBIS control panel using rotary/push switches and the Escape and Favourites buttons – e.g. to adjust the shear bar.
You operate predefined basic functions directly by means of assigned switches – e.g. to adjust the working width with the section switch.

New V-FLEX chopping cylinder.

The heart of the CLAAS JAGUAR 900.

The new V-FLEX chopping cylinder for the CLAAS JAGUAR 900 forage harvester offers outstanding cutting and chopping quality, flexibility, convenience and reliability. In developing the V-FLEX, which is now available as an optional alternative to the well-known V-MAX chopping cylinder, CLAAS has once again demonstrated its commitment to meeting the requirements of its customers. As well as applying years of work, testing and practical experience to the development of this enhanced unit, the CLAAS engineers drew on valuable feedback from our customers around the world. The new V-FLEX cylinder delivers very precise and consistent chop quality. The steep, 10-degree knife angle makes for an easy, drawing cut and greater efficiency. Whatever the conditions, you can count on the new cylinder to provide highly consistent performance for both maize and grass harvesting.

Forage cutting with millimetre accuracy.

Silage quality.

Available in five variants, V-MAX chopping cylinders are ideally matched to your requirements. With 42 knives and a cutting frequency increased to 25,200 cuts per minute, the V-MAX 42 chopping cylinder is able to deliver particularly high throughput.

Using the full engine output, it is able to deliver short lengths of cut from 3.5 to 12.5 mm with precision. Greater lengths can be produced by using one third of the number of knives. The V-MAX 42 is available as an option for the JAGUAR 990, 980 and 970.

MCC CLASSIC.

The conventional MCC CLASSIC has the proven sawtooth profile and operates with a standard speed difference of 40%. This system can be used successfully when harvesting short maize for biogas plants or producing silage for dairy cattle and finishing beef bulls. The kernel processing score can be increased by adjusting the speed difference.

MCC MAX.

The MCC MAX rollers have 30 ring segments with a sawtooth profile. The arrangement and special geometry of the segments ensure that the crop is processed not only by crushing and friction, but also by cutting and shearing forces. This breaks down the maize kernels more intensively and shreds the stalk fragments.

Compared with conventional corncrackers, the MCC MAX has a much wider field of application with regard to lengths of cut and dry matter. At the same time, it delivers processing results of extremely high quality. Its forage processing capability meets the most diverse customer requirements without the need for any change to the machine's equipment.

NEW: MCC MAX – the power of four.

Maximum service life through high level of wear protection with BusaCLAD coating
Maximum kernel processing
Maximum possible throughput supported (attained with JAGUAR 990 with engine output up to 925 hp)
Maximum flexibility to meet different requirements

3,160 hectares of maize in three harvests.

Contractor Meyer from Meppen-Apeldorn will use the MCC MAX for a fourth maize harvest.

MCC SHREDLAGE®.

Originally developed in the US, this technology is used on many farms around the world in the extremely long length-of-cut range from 26 to 30 mm.

The rollers have a sawtooth profile with an additional counterdirectional spiral groove and operate with a speed difference of 50%. In this way, the MCC SHREDLAGE® is able to grind the maize kernels thoroughly, chop up the cob fragments completely and shred the leaves effectively. In addition to these processing actions, the spiral groove subjects the stalk material to a lateral effect which causes the bark to be rubbed off the stalk. At the same time, the soft inner core is split lengthways. SHREDLAGE® silage can be compressed very well as the material meshes during storage and rebound effects are minimal.

SHREDLAGE® also for finishing bulls.

The almost complete absence of any examination of the effects of feeding finishing bulls with SHREDLAGE® prompted Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences to conduct the first such feed trial with 72 Fleckvieh bulls.

Feeding with SHREDLAGE® has a positive effect on the carcass yield. Higher conformation results in superior grading and a significantly lower fat score.

Improved livestock health is only one of many advantages which SHREDLAGE® has to offer you. As the availability of starch is optimised, you can reduce the quantity of feed concentrate used. It is also possible to limit or even eliminate the use of fibre supplements such as straw.

Precise dosage with the CLAAS silage additive app.

Using the silage additive characteristics and the type of crop as a basis, the app helps you find the correct settings to deliver the required daily dosage, taking account of the capacity of the chosen tank. Once the manufacturer's recommended silage additive instructions and the key data of the JAGUAR been entered, the app calculates the precise dosage for the crop and the harvesting process. The silage additive app is available through CLAAS connect for Android and Apple.

Water to prevent crop flow issues.

If you are harvesting crops with a high sugar content, the programmed injection of water at specific points in the crop flow path — such as the feeder unit, guide plate, accelerator and upper discharge chute — reduces the build-up of sticky material.

Whenever the crop flow ceases, at the headland, for example, or during forage trailer changeovers, water can be injected automatically. The water from the 375-litre tank moistens the sticky material in the crop flow path. When the crop starts flowing again, the harvested material cleans the crop flow path. It is then possible for silage additive to be injected using the ACTISILER 37 tank.

Power and intelligence from MAN and Mercedes-Benz.

Fuel consumption.

The engines used in the JAGUAR models have a stable power curve with sustained torque. This means that you can make your way through the densest maize crop without any difficulty while benefiting from fuel consumption per tonne of harvested crop that is impressively low for this performance range.

Torque is consistent over a wide engine speed range
Low weight thanks to high power density
Very low fuel consumption
DYNAMIC COOLING variable fan drive

New rear axle.

Rear axle offers greater flexibility.

Robust rear axle with 9 t load capacity and 4-wheel drive which can be engaged under load, for the toughest operating conditions and increased comfort and convenience. Track width extension with spacers for steering axle and steering drive axle to provide greater flexibility. The steering axle sensor is protected in the steering knuckle and the track rods have maintenance-free ball joints - all for even higher reliability.

Greater traction and soil protection.
NEW: Tyre pressure control system for front and steering axle with automatic adjustment for road travel and field work.

Terminal with intuitive operation:

Guidance by GPS PILOT.

The GPS PILOT uses satellite signals to steer the JAGUAR reliably and with unbeatable precision along parallel tracks, curved contours at the crop edge, or reference lines defined by the operator. It is possible for the operator to make use of the full working width and to reduce overlaps to a significant degree. Unaffected by light conditions, it works at night or in low visibility just as precisely as it does in full daylight. You receive correction signals for whichever degree of accuracy you require. Existing GPS track lines in ISO XML format —produced by a swather during grass harvesting or generated during maize sowing, for example — can be used with the GPS steering system of the JAGUAR.

AUTO FILL.

Innovation for easy operation.

AUTO FILL and its extended functions make your work not only more efficient, but also much more convenient. Easy changeover of forage trailers while on the move. The ability to handle trailer changeovers during AUTO FILL discharging enables a significant reduction in the operator's workload. Double-clicking the AUTO FILL button causes the end flap to open at a preset angle so that the crop stream is directed accurately to the empty trailer running alongside. AUTO FILL remains in standby mode while this is happening and is reactivated as soon as the fully laden trailer is no longer picked up by the camera. During side discharging, the impact point of the crop stream is displayed in virtual form on the AUTO FILL screen, thereby allowing optimal monitoring of the filling process by the operator.
