Forward of Agritechnica, which takes place 9-15 November, Claas has launched 4 new forage harvesters from the Jaguar 1000 collection.
Claas has developed the widest crop stream channel available on the market for the JAGUAR 1000 together with a brand new pre-compression system. The 4 pre-compression rollers work with a completely hydraulic pre-compression system and thus allow a uniform crop stream whatever the layer thickness – this ensures uniform feeding of the V-FLEX chopping cylinder and thus ensures most throughput with homogeneous chop high quality and optimum general effectivity of the machine.
The pre-compression rollers may be raised hydraulically for cleansing work utilizing the upkeep perform. Due to Fast Entry, all the pre-compression unit may be swivelled as much as 80 levels for upkeep work in only a few easy steps. The tilting body with hydraulic centring for Choose Up and Orbis is situated on the pre-compression unit.
In 2024, CLAAS the revolutionary V-Flex chopping cylinder for the Jaguar 900. Due to its 910 mm width, the Jaguar 1000 now presents much more house and inertia for max throughputs and steady crop stream even on the highest swath thicknesses – for instance within the harvest of complete crop silage. The crop is lower much more effectively due to the steep knife angle of 10 levels.
The V-Flex chopping cylinder may be fitted with full and half knife units in addition to half-section knives, enabling a uniquely huge chop size vary. The knives, fixed from above with three screws, are fastened within the drum stars and robotically aligned. Setting the knives to the shear bar and readjusting them isn’t obligatory.
Throughput ranges of as much as 500 t/h require efficient centre punching and residual plant processing in silage maize harvesting. The Jaguar 1000 is ideally geared up for this due to the Multi Crop Cracker XL. Obtainable both because the MCC XL Traditional with a sawtooth profile with varied tooth and a 40% pace distinction or because the MCC XL Shredledge with a 50% pace distinction, it presents a really giant contact floor between the rollers with a 310mm curler diameter, making certain glorious conditioning throughout all the accessible chop size vary and even on the highest throughput capacities.
The chop high quality evaluation in CLAAS join, introduced at Agritechnica 2023, can be utilized to simply decide the processing rating (CSPS Corn Silage Processing Rating) by way of smartphone within the discipline: Take a photograph of the chopped materials and ship it on to the cloud by way of Claas join. Inside a couple of minutes, the AI-based programme determines the CSPS and transmits the outcome again to the smartphone. This protects time and permits the optimum setting of the corncracker for the respective circumstances of use as the premise for max forage high quality and effectivity.
The throwing accelerator has additionally been tailored to the elevated output of the Jaguar 1000. Whether or not for chopping with a large, concentrated throw or for brief switch distances to move automobiles travelling alongside: the hydraulically adjustable hole of as much as 60mm by transferring the accelerator in the direction of the again panel permits the throw to be adjusted simply and will increase the effectivity of the Jaguar.
The discharge manifold idea can also be new: by merely swapping the manifold finish piece, the size may be optimised for the respective entrance attachment from grass to maize and vice versa. The top piece may be folded hydraulically for maize harvesting with Orbis 10500 and most manifold size to allow protected street transport.
Since 1994, transversely mounted engines within the Jaguar have been driving the knife drum and different items instantly and due to this fact with significantly low losses. Within the Jaguar 1000, too, a powerband takes the ability instantly from the crankshaft of the 24-litre V12 engine from MAN and transfers it to the chopping cylinder, throwing accelerator and from there to the corncracker. For the bottom drive, the pre-compression rollers and the 2 impartial variable attachment drives, a pump switch case is situated on the rear left of the engine, which drives the hydraulic motors. Due to the impartial variable attachment drives, the pick-up and consumption auger on the Choose Up and the knife and transport discs and feed drums on the Orbis may be adjusted independently of one another when it comes to pace to swimsuit the harvesting circumstances.
The effectivity of the drives may also be emphasised right here due to their subtle design. Throughout street journey, solely the bottom drive is energetic; the drive of the chopping unit, consumption and entrance attachments is then decoupled within the pump switch case. The engine bonnet of the Jaguar 1000 has additionally been designed to be very slim and flat, in order that the view to the rear is not any extra restricted than with forage harvesters within the medium and decrease efficiency courses. As well as, this design permits a sort of wasp waist within the space of the steering axle, in order that the turning radius stays small regardless of the bigger tyre tools.
The Jaguar 1000 comes with 4-wheel drive and clever all-wheel administration as commonplace. Differential locks on the entrance axle and, solely for forage harvesters, on the rear axle are additionally provided as an choice, as is a tyre strain management system for the entrance and rear axles. Because of this the Jaguar 1000 is aware of no limits, even in troublesome harvesting circumstances and on slopes.
The subtle drive design permits for 800/70 R42 entrance axle tires with a complete machine width of three.30m, with the biggest doable entrance axle tire for the Jaguar 1000 being 900/60 R42 with an outer diameter of two.15m. As well as, tires as much as 710/60 R30 may be chosen for the rear axle, which not solely supplies the Jaguar 1000 with loads of traction, but additionally signifies that it is rather mild on the soil.
The Jaguar 1000 is supplied with Cemos Auto Crop Circulation and Cemos Auto Efficiency for constantly optimum general effectivity with most driver aid. The Cemos Auto Efficiency engine and drive administration system relieves the operator and ensures a continuing or most throughput all through the harvest by adjusting the driving pace to the engine load, and robotically adjusts the engine energy if obligatory – for instance when yield ranges are low. Because of this the Jaguar 1000 all the time works within the optimum energy vary and reduces gas consumption. Cemos Auto Crop Circulation intelligently and robotically screens the engine pace always to make sure that the forage harvester is working appropriately and stops the crop stream if the engine pace drops under the set minimal pace.
Throughout operation, the operator can also be relieved by Auto Fill. With the assistance of digital 3D picture evaluation by way of the corresponding digicam expertise, the discharge spout and flap management for filling transport automobiles travelling alongside is carried out robotically – each day and evening.
Claas is introducing the newest era of the NIR sensor Nutrimeter with the Jaguar 1000. Thanks to specific real-time willpower of the dry matter content material, it not solely permits exact yield recording and yield mapping, but additionally computerized chop size adjustment. This helps the very best forage high quality relying on the dry matter content material and optimum compaction of the silage within the silo.
Along with dry matter content material, the Nutrimeter additionally information different substances corresponding to starch, crude protein and sugar content material. A brand new characteristic is the cell use of the NIR sensor as an ISOBUS system, which permits straightforward conversion from machine to machine. The info collected by the Nutrimeter is saved, analysed and output along with the machine information from the Jaguar in Claas join.
The cab is operated as traditional utilizing acquainted controls such because the CMotion floor pace management lever within the right-hand armrest console, in addition to the built-in CEBIS terminal with its 12-inch display screen. The GPS Pilot Cemis 1200 is out there for satellite-supported steering and good farming duties corresponding to car fleet and order administration in addition to documentation. Varied seat variants, together with a swivelling leather-based seat –accessible with seat heater and seat air flow –, computerized air-con and the extraordinarily low noise degree within the cab guarantee most consolation and fatigue-free working. Modern cleansing techniques, such because the premium windscreen wiper system, guarantee excellent visibility even in probably the most troublesome harvesting circumstances.
Non-obligatory joystick steering for discipline use is out there for the Jaguar 1000 – a primary for Claas harvesting equipment. This permits the Jaguar to be manoeuvred exactly with simply two fingers – splendid for tight turning manoeuvres on the finish of the sphere. The joystick steering has two steering modes and may be customised in varied depth ranges. As well as, three switches are built-in into the armrest for individually assignable features, corresponding to decreasing and elevating the discharge spout, the horn or the work lighting. Along with the satellite-based GPS Pilot Cemis 1200, different computerized steering techniques from Claas can be found, corresponding to Auto Pilot and, solely from Claas, Cam Pilot.
Claas join presents a user-friendly platform for good farming that seamlessly integrates machine and farm administration. Essential Jaguar 1000 information corresponding to fields, reference strains, working assets, machines and labour may be recorded, analysed and optimised. Customers have an ideal overview of their machines and may evaluate them – each when it comes to work efficiency and effectivity – and thus uncover inefficiencies and provoke optimisations.
As well as, yield maps may be shortly and simply used to create software maps. And: with the cell Claas join app, all info is all the time at your fingertips, even once you’re on the transfer. From 2026, dwell yield mapping may also be accessible on the Cemis 1200. This permits yield and moisture to be displayed dwell on the Cemis show as a map throughout harvest.
With the Cemis 1200 and a Machine join licence, job administration for the Jaguar 1000 is finished in only a few clicks by way of the cell phone connection and yield maps may be created dwell. Jobs, together with reference tracks, may be deliberate upfront in Claas join and transferred to the machine. For instance, GPS Pilot Cemis 1200 can steer the Jaguar months later with centimetre precision utilizing the tracks from the maize sowing. After finishing the job, the operator shortly and simply sends the collected machine information, together with yield information, again to the workplace. From the order to its execution and documentation, information processing is essentially automated and due to this fact easy and safe.
