The JAGUAR forage harvester is one of the most successful and best-known CLAAS products. It was initially built exclusively in the form of a trailed version (pulled by a tractor) until 1973 when increased maize cultivation led to CLAAS launching it as the company's first self-propelled forage harvester. It has gone from strength to strength ever since, with numerous enhancements and developments securing its position as a firm favourite across many different markets.
