"These two AE50 awards confirm what our customers already know: CLAAS continues to set standards in terms of performance, efficiency, and intelligent machine design for the harvesting of forage crops," explains Dennis Ogle, Sales Manager for Self-Propelled Harvesting Technology at CLAAS of America. "Both the JAGUAR 1000 series and the ORBIS 10500 were developed in close collaboration with farmers and contractors, with a focus on real productivity gains and ease of use with a high degree of automation."

JAGUAR 1000: Top performance in new dimensions
The four models in the JAGUAR 1000 series represent a new generation of forage harvesters, based on more than 50 years of experience in the development and manufacture of self-propelled forage harvesters. With engine outputs of up to 1,110 hp, the development focus was particularly on a well-thought-out, future-proof overall concept for optimum efficiency and maximum throughput capacity – confirmed, among other things, by the impressive official Guinness World Record for forage harvesting. The convincing arguments include the widest crop flow on the market, fully hydraulic pre-compression, uncompromising and homogeneous chopping quality, the large 310 mm diameter corncracker for optimum grain release, the drive concept with two independent variable front attachments for newly developed, high-throughput PICK UP and ORBIS front attachments, and a solid chassis with high-traction and ground-protecting running gear. In addition, the JAGUAR 1000 features the latest generation of assistance systems and user-oriented digital solutions, including the new NUTRIMETER. Combined with one of the quietest cabs on the market and optional joystick steering, the overall concept of this internationally award-winning series delivers maximum performance, uncompromising comfort, and groundbreaking overall efficiency.
