Forward of Agritechnica, which takes place 9-15 November, Claas has launched 4 new forage harvesters from the Jaguar 1000 sequence.
Claas has developed the widest crop circulation channel available on the market for the JAGUAR 1000 at the side of a brand new pre-compression system. The 4 pre-compression rollers work with a totally hydraulic pre-compression system and thus allow a uniform crop circulation 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 might be raised hydraulically for cleansing work utilizing the upkeep operate. Because of Fast Entry, the complete pre-compression unit might be swivelled as much as 80 levels for upkeep work in just some easy steps. The tilting body with hydraulic centring for Decide Up and Orbis is situated on the pre-compression unit.
In 2024, CLAAS the revolutionary V-Flex chopping cylinder for the Jaguar 900. Because of its 910 mm width, the Jaguar 1000 now provides much more house and inertia for optimum throughputs and steady crop circulation even on the highest swath thicknesses – for instance within the harvest of entire crop silage. The crop is reduce much more effectively because of the steep knife angle of 10 levels.
The V-Flex chopping cylinder might be fitted with full and half knife units in addition to half-section knives, enabling a uniquely vast 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 is just not mandatory.
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 outfitted for this because of the Multi Crop Cracker XL. Out there both because the MCC XL Basic with a sawtooth profile with varied enamel and a 40% pace distinction or because the MCC XL Shredledge with a 50% pace distinction, it provides a really massive contact floor between the rollers with a 310mm curler diameter, making certain wonderful conditioning throughout the complete out there 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) through smartphone within the area: Take a photograph of the chopped materials and ship it on to the cloud through 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 allows the optimum setting of the corncracker for the respective circumstances of use as the premise for optimum 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 autos travelling alongside: the hydraulically adjustable hole of as much as 60mm by shifting the accelerator in 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 might be optimised for the respective entrance attachment from grass to maize and vice versa. The top piece might be folded hydraulically for maize harvesting with Orbis 10500 and most manifold size to allow secure highway transport.
Since 1994, transversely mounted engines within the Jaguar have been driving the knife drum and different models instantly and due to this fact with significantly low losses. Within the Jaguar 1000, too, a powerband takes the facility 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 unbiased variable attachment drives, a pump switch case is situated on the rear left of the engine, which drives the hydraulic motors. Because of the unbiased variable attachment drives, the pick-up and consumption auger on the Decide Up and the knife and transport discs and feed drums on the Orbis might be adjusted independently of one another when it comes to pace to go well with the harvesting circumstances.
The effectivity of the drives can be emphasised right here because of their subtle design. Throughout highway 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 isn’t any extra restricted than with forage harvesters within the medium and decrease efficiency lessons. As well as, this design allows 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 gear.
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 supplied as an choice, as is a tyre stress management system for the entrance and rear axles. Which means 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 most important 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 might be chosen for the rear axle, which not solely offers the Jaguar 1000 with loads of traction, but in addition signifies that it is rather light on the soil.
The Jaguar 1000 is supplied with Cemos Auto Crop Circulation and Cemos Auto Efficiency for persistently optimum general effectivity with most driver reduction. 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 mandatory – for instance when yield ranges are low. Which means the Jaguar 1000 at all times 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 accurately and stops the crop circulation if the engine pace drops beneath the set minimal pace.
Throughout operation, the operator can also be relieved by Auto Fill. With the assistance of digital 3D picture evaluation through the corresponding digicam expertise, the discharge spout and flap management for filling transport autos travelling alongside is carried out robotically – each day and evening.
Claas is introducing the newest technology of the NIR sensor Nutrimeter with the Jaguar 1000. Thanks to express real-time willpower of the dry matter content material, it not solely allows exact yield recording and yield mapping, but in addition computerized chop size adjustment. This helps the most effective 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 equivalent 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 allows simple 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 ordinary 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. The GPS Pilot Cemis 1200 is offered for satellite-supported steering and sensible farming duties equivalent to automobile fleet and order administration in addition to documentation. Varied seat variants, together with a swivelling leather-based seat –out there 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 essentially the most troublesome harvesting circumstances.
Non-compulsory joystick steering for area use is offered for the Jaguar 1000 – a primary for Claas harvesting equipment. This permits the Jaguar to be manoeuvred exactly with simply two fingers – ideally suited for tight turning manoeuvres on the finish of the sphere. The joystick steering has two steering modes and might be customised in varied depth ranges. As well as, three switches are built-in into the armrest for individually assignable capabilities, equivalent to reducing 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, equivalent to Auto Pilot and, solely from Claas, Cam Pilot.
Claas join provides a user-friendly platform for sensible farming that seamlessly integrates machine and farm administration. Essential Jaguar 1000 information equivalent to fields, reference strains, working sources, machines and labour might 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 might be rapidly and simply used to create utility maps. And: with the cell Claas join app, all info is at all times at your fingertips, even once you’re on the transfer. From 2026, dwell yield mapping may even be out there 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 completed in just some clicks through the cell phone connection and yield maps might be created dwell. Jobs, together with reference tracks, might be deliberate prematurely 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 rapidly 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.
