New for feeder unit: reinforced front attachment drive.

The powerful, four-groove front attachment drive and the front axle have been completely revised so that you now also have the option of using the DIRECT DISC 600 on the JAGUAR 880* and the JAGUAR 870. The impressive working width allows you to perform mowing and chopping in a single pass.

Hydraulic reverser.

The hydraulic reverser ensures a slow, controlled and sensitive reverse rotation. The crop is gently extracted from the intake. When used with the PICK UP, the roller crop press is raised automatically, and, if required, the auger as well. With incremental reversing, foreign objects are brought to the intake rollers, where they can be removed quickly and safely.

Sensitive metal detector.

The metal detection system installed in the front feed rollers locates any magnetic object in good time. The low-wear, quick-stop mechanism then stops the intake immediately. Thanks to the location display in CEBIS, the operator can quickly see where the magnetic metal object is to be found.

STOP ROCK stone detector.

A powerful and rugged intake drive is one thing, but full protection against foreign objects is another. The STOP ROCK stone detector increases the reliability of the JAGUAR. If it detects a stone in the swath, it stops the intake immediately. You can set the minimum stone size yourself – the sensitivity is conveniently adjustable from the cab using CEBIS.

The chop length can be doubled by equipping the V-CLASSIC cylinder with half-knives. The half-knives enable a very consistent crop throughput which is ideal when harvesting grass or maize for long chopping and SHREDLAGE^®.

Fully automatic sharpening.

A precision chop and consistent chop quality are possible only if the blades are absolutely sharp. The sharpening of the knives is controlled from the cab.

As an option, you can also control the shear-bar setting from the cab. The shear bar does not need to be loosened for this operation; instead, the mounting block is pivoted and moves gently towards the chopping cylinder with the shear bar firmly fixed on top. Knock sensors register contact and set the shear bar accordingly.

Sharpening and adjustment of the shear bar should be carried out on the basis of the throughput quantity rather than at a given time of day. CEBIS can be configured to give a reminder when knife sharpening is required.

MULTI CROP CRACKER MAX.

The MCC MAX rollers have been developed to process maize silage with chop lengths between 7 and 22 mm. They consist of 30 annular segments with a sawtooth profile. The arrangement and special geometry of the annular segments ensure that the crop is processed not only by crushing and friction, but also by cutting and shearing forces. This allows more intensive processing of the maize kernels and also produces a fibrous breakdown of the stalk fragments.

The annular segments in the new JAGUAR are coated with highly wear-resistant Busa^®CLAD which promises a significantly longer service life.

When compared with conventional corncrackers, the range of applications for the MCC MAX covers much greater chop lengths and types of dry matter, while still delivering very high-quality processing results. The MCC MAX provides contractors, machinery rings and farms with a new technical solution which allows them to meet the most diverse customer requirements for forage processing.

MULTI CROP CRACKER SHREDLAGE^®.

SHREDLAGE^®, a technology which was developed in the US and for which CLAAS has now acquired the licence, is an intensive maize silage conditioning system in the extremely long chop length range of 26 to 30 mm. Operating with a speed differential of 50%, the SHREDLAGE^® rollers have a sawtooth profile into which a counterdirectional spiral groove has also been cut. In this way, the MCC SHREDLAGE^® is able to grind the maize kernels thoroughly and chop up the cob fragments completely.

Leaves are well shredded and the stalk material in particular is subjected to a lateral effect by the spiral groove which causes the bark to be rubbed off the stalk. At the same time, the soft inner core is split lengthways. The intensively "shredded" crop can be compressed very well as the structure of the processed material keeps any rebound effect to a minimum.

SHREDLAGE^®  maize silage.

The intensive processing multiplies the surface of the chopped material many times, resulting in significantly improved bacterial fermentation during ensiling and, above all, during digestion in the cow's rumen. Trials conducted by the University of Wisconsin show that SHREDLAGE ^® drastically increases the physical effectiveness of maize silage in the rumen while also improving the availability of the starch contained in all parts of the plant. As a result, the daily milk yield in the herds studied increased by up to 2 litres per cow. Furthermore, the rumen-friendly structure of the silage improved herd health.

A higher milk yield and improved livestock health are not the only benefits SHREDLAGE ^® has to offer dairy producers. As the availability of starch is optimised, it is possible to reduce the quantity of feed concentrate used while obtaining a higher overall milk yield. It is also possible to limit or even eliminate the use of fibre supplements such as straw, thereby providing further scope for cost savings.

Advantages:

• Unique product range
• Easy installation and removal thanks to outstanding accessibility
  
• Extremely rugged design through large bearing units and sealed housing design
  
• High throughput with optimum chop processing
• Outstanding accessibility for maintenance or replacement of rollers
  
• Consistent, maintenance-free hydraulic belt tensioning for maximum power transmission
  

Extremely fast removal.

CLAAS offers an easy solution for removing the accelerator when post-harvest cleaning is required or if it should prove necessary to replace wear parts. Two people can carry out the removal procedure in one hour.

Discharge spout rotation ring.

The extremely rugged discharge chute rotation ring and the powerful hydrostatic motor are designed to meet the most demanding requirements. This ensures reliable, fast pivoting of a discharge chute of maximum length with PREMIUM LINE specification.

The new ACTISILER 37.

The double-wall ACTISILER 37 tank protects your silage additive concentrate from high temperatures. For example, if the tank is filled with concentrate at 19°C, it will rise to a maximum of 23°C over a period of ten working hours when the outside temperature is 40°C. The pump enables precise dosage from 0.2-20 l/h, or, based on throughput, 10-50 ml/t.
