CLAAS Forage harvesters | JAGUAR 990-940

JAGUAR 990. 925 hp for up to 400 t/h.

First-class chopped material quality, outstanding throughput and low fuel consumption – the new JAGUAR 990 makes optimal use of the output of its 925 hp MAN V12 engine. And to enable you to achieve shorter lengths of cut we have completely revised the knife drum. The JAGUAR 990 is therefore the first forage harvester to be equipped with the new V-MAX 42 knife drum.

The CEMOS intelligent operator assistance system and the new CEBIS control system assist your operators in running the JAGUAR as efficiently as possible throughout the campaign. CEMOS sets up the machine automatically while the CEBIS touchscreen makes control inputs easier. All JAGUAR models comply with the relevant emission standards for their markets up to Stage V.

Drive power is tailored to the requirements of each front attachment.

Front attachment drive.

All the front attachment drives are integrated in the main drive train. In this way, the front attachment drive, feeder drive, drum speed, accelerator and corncracker are able to react equally to engine speed variations. The advantage for you is that a constant length of cut is always maintained.

Mechanical drive suitable for all front attachments.
  • For conventional use where there is no requirement for automated speed adjustment in constant harvesting conditions
  • Driven by the knife drum shaft, all-mechanical with constant speed
  • Engaged via a belt clutch to the quick-release coupler
Split-power front attachment drive.
  • Front attachment driven mechanically via the knife drum shaft with additional hydrostatic support and maximum power transmission at constant revs.

We have an outstanding support team for you.

CEMOS AUTO PERFORMANCE.

CEMOS allows you to harvest more efficiently – an improvement in the area/hour (ha/h) rate of up to 7% with a 12% fuel saving is possible. In order to increase efficiency and reduce fuel consumption, the JAGUAR maintains the engine speed set by the operator and adjusts the engine output and ground speed in accordance with the volume harvested. When the volume harvested increases, the ground speed is reduced. A reduction in the volume harvested results in the automatic reduction of the engine output.

The advantages for you.
  • A steady engine speed for a steady harvesting process
  • Even crop flow for highly reliable operation
  • Lower fuel consumption as a result of operating in an efficient engine speed range
  • Pleasant driving characteristics thanks to absence of sudden load changes
  • Operator’s workload is reduced in demanding harvesting situations

Four assistants for extremely precise steering during harvesting.

Dynamic steering for the JAGUAR

As the machine takes about five steering wheel turns to go from lock to lock, many operators prefer a reduced steering effort when they have to turn at the end of the field. The dynamic steering system makes it possible to go from straight-ahead running to full lock in only ⅔ of a steering wheel turn when travelling below 10 km/h. The intensity of the dynamic steering response can be adjusted as required in CEBIS. This means that individualised settings can be programmed, with different responses possible on the basis of whether the front attachment is in the working position or not.

Seeing with CAM PILOT.

The CAM PILOT assumes control of steering the JAGUAR in combination with the PICK UP. The swath is detected as a three-dimensional image by a twin-lens camera. Corresponding signals are transmitted to the steering mechanism in the event of deviations in the swath shape or direction. The steering axle then responds to these steering commands. This makes for reduced operator workload at speeds up to 15 km/h.

Sensor-based with AUTO PILOT.

Even row-independent maize front attachments usually follow maize in rows – a task in which they are assisted by the AUTO PILOT. Two sensor arms each scan a row of maize. The signals they generate are translated into corrective steering impulses. Twin-row sensing allows automatic steering in row widths from 37.5 cm up to 80 cm.

Guidance by GPS PILOT.

The GPS PILOT uses satellite signals to steer the JAGUAR reliably and with unbeatable precision along parallel tracks, curved contours at the crop edge, or reference lines defined by the operator. It is possible for the operator to make use of the full working width and to reduce overlaps to a significant degree. You start the GPS PILOT via the multifunction lever. It actively controls the steering hydraulics and guides you across the field precisely at all speeds, regardless of the light conditions. It works at night or in low visibility just as precisely as it does in full daylight. You receive correction signals for whichever degree of accuracy you require. Existing GPS track lines in ISO XML format —produced by a swather during grass harvesting or generated during maize sowing, for example — can be used with the GPS steering system of the JAGUAR.

Easier than ever.

Operation.

The JAGUAR can be operated without previous knowledge. This means that even new operators can quickly handle the machine safely and reliably and make use of its performance capacity.

The touchscreen CEBIS gives you fast access to all the machine functions. The most important adjustments can even be made directly by means of switches on the armrest. Precise operation is ensured under all conditions, whether it’s a question of a bumpy ride across a field or an operator who is just getting used to the system. You can adjust and operate the JAGUAR in four ways, as required.

CEBIS touchscreen.

CEBIS responds immediately to a simple tap on the touchscreen. You have direct access to all the machine functions – such as CEMOS AUTO PERFORMANCE.

CMOTION favourites management.

Seven settings can be programmed as favourites and accessed by rocker switches on the CMOTION control lever. You can therefore concentrate on watching the front attachment and crop flow.

CEBIS rotary/push switch and pushbutton.

Even when operating in bumpy terrain, you can easily navigate the CEBIS control panel using rotary/push switches and the Escape and Favourites buttons – e.g. to adjust the shear bar.

Direct adjustment via switches.

You operate predefined basic functions directly by means of assigned switches – e.g. to adjust the working width with the section switch.

Forage cutting with millimetre accuracy.

Silage quality.

Available in five variants, V-MAX knife drums are ideally matched to your requirements. With 42 knives and a cutting frequency increased to 25,200 cuts per minute, the V-MAX 42 knife drum is able to deliver particularly high throughput.

Using the full engine output, it is able to deliver short lengths of cut from 3.5 to 12.5 mm with precision. Greater lengths can be produced by using one third of the number of knives. The V-MAX 42 is available as an option for the JAGUAR 990, 980 and 970.

Highly flexible.

The V-MAX knife drums extend your length-of-cut range. Harvesting up to a length of cut of 30 mm is also possible with a corncracker. With the V-MAX 36 / 28 / 24, you simply adjust the position of the knife carriers and halve the number of knives. Through the symmetrical crop delivery you benefit from high operating reliability and achieve very uniform crop processing by the corncracker.

  • Extremely smooth, power-saving action: the curved shape of the knives makes for an optimum crop flow
  • High strength: chopping forces are taken up directly by the star-shaped drum
  • Easy to fit: just two bolts per knife, no need for adjustment/readjustment
  • Symmetrical crop discharge: with half the full number of knives through repositioning of knife carriers; also enables use with corncracker up to lengths of cut of 30 mm

MCC CLASSIC.

The conventional MCC CLASSIC has the proven sawtooth profile and operates with a standard speed difference of 30%. This system can be used successfully when harvesting short maize for biogas plants or producing silage for dairy cattle and finishing beef bulls. The kernel processing score can be increased by adjusting the speed difference.

MCC MAX.

The MCC MAX rollers have 30 ring segments with a sawtooth profile. The arrangement and special geometry of the segments ensure that the crop is processed not only by crushing and friction, but also by cutting and shearing forces. This breaks down the maize kernels more intensively and shreds the stalk fragments.

Compared with conventional corncrackers, the MCC MAX has a much wider field of application with regard to lengths of cut and dry matter. At the same time, it delivers processing results of extremely high quality. Its forage processing capability meets the most diverse customer requirements without the need for any change to the machine’s equipment.

NEW: MCC MAX
  1. Maximum service life through high level of wear protection with BusaCLAD coating
  2. Maximum kernel processing
  3. Maximum possible throughput supported (attained with JAGUAR 990 with engine output up to 925 hp)
  4. Maximum flexibility to meet different requirements

MCC SHREDLAGE®.

Originally developed in the US, this technology is used on many farms around the world in the extremely long length-of-cut range from 26 to 30 mm.

The rollers have a sawtooth profile with an additional counterdirectional spiral groove and operate with a speed difference of 50%. In this way, the MCC SHREDLAGE® is able to grind the maize kernels thoroughly, chop up the cob fragments completely and shred the leaves effectively. In addition to these processing actions, the spiral groove subjects the stalk material to a lateral effect which causes the bark to be rubbed off the stalk. At the same time, the soft inner core is split lengthways. SHREDLAGE® silage can be compressed very well as the material meshes during storage and rebound effects are minimal.

SHREDLAGE® also for finishing bulls.

The almost complete absence of any examination of the effects of feeding finishing bulls with SHREDLAGE® prompted Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences to conduct the first such feed trial with 72 Fleckvieh bulls.

Feeding with SHREDLAGE® has a positive effect on the carcass yield. Higher conformation results in superior grading and a significantly lower fat score.

Improved livestock health is only one of many advantages which SHREDLAGE® has to offer you. As the availability of starch is optimised, you can reduce the quantity of feed concentrate used. It is also possible to limit or even eliminate the use of fibre supplements such as straw.

Precise dosage with the CLAAS silage additive app.

Using the silage additive characteristics and the type of crop as a basis, the app helps you find the correct settings to deliver the required daily dosage, taking account of the capacity of the chosen tank. Once the manufacturer’s recommended silage additive instructions and the key data of the JAGUAR been entered, the app calculates the precise dosage for the crop and the harvesting process. The silage additive app is available through CLAAS connect for Android and Apple.
