Claas has announced four new forage harvesters from the Jaguar 1000 series, which enable throughput capacities of up to 480 tonnes per hour with the widest crop flow on the market, new front attachments and pioneering driver assistance.
Driver assistance and automation at the highest level
The Jaguar 1000 is equipped with Cemos Auto Crop Flow and Cemos Auto Performance for consistently optimum overall efficiency with maximum driver relief. The Cemos Auto Performance engine and drive management system relieves the operator and ensures a constant or maximum throughput throughout the harvest by adjusting the driving speed to the engine load, and automatically adjusts the engine power if necessary – for example when yield levels are low. This means that the harvester always works in the optimum power range and reduces fuel consumption. Cemos Auto Crop Flow intelligently and always monitors the engine speed to ensure that the forage harvester is operating correctly and stops the crop flow if the engine speed drops below the set minimum speed.
Trailer filling
During operation, the operator is also relieved by Auto Fill. With the help of digital 3D image analysis via the corresponding camera technology, the discharge spout and flap control for filling transport vehicles travelling alongside is carried out automatically – both day and night.
Ingredients and automatic chop length adjustment in real time
Claas is introducing the latest generation of the NIR sensor Nutrimeter with the Jaguar 1000. Thanks to precise real-time determination of the dry matter content, it not only enables precise yield recording and yield mapping, but also automatic chop length adjustment. This supports the best forage quality depending on the dry matter content and optimum compaction of the silage in the silo.
In addition to dry matter content, the Nutrimeter also records other ingredients such as starch, crude protein and sugar content. A new feature is the mobile use of the NIR sensor as an ISOBUS device, which enables easy conversion from machine to machine. The data collected by the Nutrimeter is stored, analysed and output together with the machine data from the Jaguar in Claas connect.
Fully Networked with Farm and Cloud
Claas connect offers a user-friendly platform for smart farming that seamlessly integrates machine and farm management. Important data such as fields, reference lines, operating resources, machines and labour can be recorded, analysed and optimised. Users have a perfect overview of their machines and can compare them – both in terms of work performance and efficiency – and thus uncover inefficiencies and initiate optimisations. In addition, yield maps can be quickly and easily used to create application maps. And: with the mobile Claas connect app, all information is always at your fingertips, even when you’re on the move. From 2026, live yield mapping will also be available on the Cemis 1200. This allows yield and moisture to be displayed live on the Cemis display as a map during harvest.
With the Cemis 1200 and a Machine connect licence, job management for the Jaguar 1000 is done in just a few clicks via the mobile phone connection and yield maps can be created live. Jobs, including reference tracks, can be planned in advance in CLAAS connect and transferred to the machine. For example, GPS Pilot Cemis 1200 can steer the Jaguar months later with centimetre precision using the tracks from the maize sowing. After completing the job, the operator quickly and easily sends the collected machine data, including yield data, back to the office. From the order to its execution and documentation, data processing is largely automated and therefore simple and secure.
