REVIEW 6 6. The Cam Pilot assumes control of the tractor to change direction to match the path of the swath 7. There is a direct powerband drive between the engine and the chopping unit, the accelerator and the Comfort Cut intake roller drive If the going gets really gnarly the axles can be ‘diff- locked’ with a multi-disc clutch. when the power isn’t needed it simply reduces the load on the drive line. As a result, the headland and road rpm can be dropped considerably to 1,400 and 1,290rpm, respectively. If the going gets really gnarly the axles can be ‘diff- locked’ with a multi-disc clutch. When the diff-lock is set to auto it will lock the front drive units together and will auto disengage when over 15km/h or there is a steering or braking correction. The inclusion of a tyre pressure control system is becoming more popular on tractors but has been on Claas Jaguars for more than a decade. Tyre pressures can be reduced for field work and automatically pumped up for when on the road. This ensures the ideal pressure to get the machine home safely and with the least possible wear in all scenarios. NIR SENSOR With near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy a light is beamed through the crop from the top side of the spout as the crop flows through. As the light bounces back it gives readings on not only the moisture content but also starch, protein, fibre and fat ash content. This has been proven and accepted by the DLG test lab and allows farmers and contractors to get a printout at the end of each job with not only all crop data, but also start/end time, area and dry matter (DM) yield, which is a great feature. Claas has taken this one step further to include the automatic length of cut adjustment. This will vary based on the DM of the crop passing through the NIR sensor. If the desired cut length is, 7 say, 14mm at 35 per cent DM, the machine can be set to vary the length of cut by +/- 3mm to retain the desired DM. The machine will automatically make these adjustments throughout the paddock as outside rounds, trees and exposed areas, etc. can all have quite different DM percentages. As a result, the farmer gets the ideal chop length across the whole crop, not just what the machine was initially set to. OTHER FEATURES Other features worth mentioning include LED work lights on the cab roof, at the rear and on the upper discharge chute where they pivot with the crop flow, allowing night-time harvesting operations to be monitored very easily. Three different kernel processors are available: classic, max and Shredlage (which our test 970 was equipped with). This concept allows maize plant to be cut longer (up to 30mm) and it almost shreds the plant rather than straight cutting (hence the name), which aids animal fibre digestion, while the 50 per cent speed differential between the two KP rollers pulverises the kernel. The test machine was fitted with the ORBIS 750 (10 row) which has five parts that stack fold and unfold in 15 seconds. Auto contour activates when the head is placed in the float position and the hard-wearing skids ensure the low stubble height of 80mm is achieved while the wing sensors ensure the head floats with the contours of the ground. The combination of small and large drums and row fingers give clean crop cut and constant flow to the feed rollers and, for maintenance, all grease nipples only need a squirt every 250 hours while the gearbox oils only need changing every 2,500 operating hours (after the initial oil change). SUMMARY In terms of sheer numbers, the cost of forage harvesters is staggering. Equally (and thankfully) so is the throughput these machines can achieve. And when you consider the impressive technology on board it all starts to add up. The ability for Australia to get the 970 with the huge V12 MAN engine without the emissions wizardry of the Tier 5 machines is a real bonus. Claas has been the market leader in the forager game since its onset and the technology behind this latest offering will not disappoint. It not only makes the operator’s life easier but the maintenance and adjustment features means parts last longer and the constant automated adjustment results in top notch forage, making this a real game changer. The Claas Jaguar 970 is available in Australia through Claas Harvest Centres. 60 TradeFarmMachinery.com.au THE TRACTOR YOU WANT IS NOW EASIER TO FIND
