Whole Crop
The CLAAS JAGUAR with front attachments – your perfect partner for whole crop silage
Our JAGUAR forage harvester with its wide range of front attachments is a highly effective and outstandingly flexible harvesting solution for whole crop silage (WCS). With its three front attachment families, it has all the bases covered: there's the classic DIRECT DISC, the ORBIS maize front attachment, or the PICK UP for the times when a direct cutterbar or maize front attachment is not available.
JAGUAR with DIRECT DISC – the workhorse for practically every crop
The combination of the JAGUAR and the DIRECT DISC front attachment forms the ideal machine for harvesting a variety of crops, such as grains, legumes, sorghum and the like, as well as for heavy-duty harvesting in excess of about 200 hectares per year – making it our flagship harvesting solution. It is particularly well suited for use in the areas of bioenergy and animal feed. This combination allows you to mow and chop in a single step. The precise mower bed has a powerful cutting action and leaves a very even stubble profile while the side knives ensure reliable harvesting, even in severely intertwined crops. In the case of our DIRECT DISC 600 P and 500 P models, you can also adjust the height of the paddle roller as required. This ensures a uniform crop flow, even when operating in very short crops. When particularly tall crops (up to 4 m) are to be harvested, the JAGUAR with the DIRECT DISC 600 and 500 delivers precise cutting results without a paddle roller.
JAGUAR with ORBIS – an unbeatable duo for whole crop silage too
For farms with only a small annual WCS harvest area, our ORBIS maize front attachment offers an excellent alternative without compromising on crop flow. This front attachment delivers precise chopping quality with high throughput. With working widths between 4.5 and 9 m, the ORBIS has the right performance profile matched with low stubble height. A great advantage of the ORBIS is that no front attachment transport trailer is required. During the folding and unfolding of the ORBIS, the integrated transport protection with warning stickers and lighting is automatically pivoted into the appropriate position for road travel or field work. The folding process takes a maximum of 30 seconds and is controlled from the cab. Field work has never been easier!
JAGUAR with PICK UP – the dependable alternative in challenging conditions
The PICK UP is suitable for the collection of almost all thin-stemmed crops and represents a reliable alternative harvesting solution if no direct cutterbar or maize front attachment is available. The PICK UP is used after a preliminary swath grouping phase performed by a mowing combination. As a result of its direct ground contour adaptation, movable rake and tilting frame, the JAGUAR with PICK UP delivers an extremely precise harvest result, whatever the soil conditions. The automatic engine speed adjustment in accordance with the set length of cut and the ground speed results in an optimal crop flow and high throughput – even under difficult and changing conditions. Automatic chain lubrication makes for reliable, low-maintenance operation of the PICK UP.
