FIRST IN THE FIELD.
Maintain Proper Spray Tip Height
• Increase application efficiency – get the most from your spray
• Too low = Streaking
• Too High = Drift Issues
• Ensures chemical application is not wasted due to improper boom height
Protect Sprayer From Damage
• Accurate control
• Avoid ground strikes
• Prevents downtime from repairing bent booms and broken spray nozzels
Hybrid Mode™
• An advanced crop sensing feature for in-crop spraying that eliminates the need for the operator to take manual control of the boom in a row crops or adverse situations such as lodged, thin and uneven crop Patented

New functions for forage harvester range
In the 2023 model year, the Jaguar 900 and Jaguar 900 Terra Trac forage harvesters from Claas will bene t from an optimised pick up drive, while the Jaguar 800 series is expanded with new and more powerful models. The Cemis 1200 terminal with the new GPS Pilot will also become available for all models.
The drive system for the front attachment on the Jaguar 900 and Jaguar 900 Terra Trac, will be enhanced with functionality that automatically adjusts the pick up speed to the ground speed above 5kph. This results in an even more consistent crop ow, especially where there are frequent and signi cant changes in swath thickness, Claas reckons.
Also new is the automatic chain lubrication for the left-side drive of the intake auger and pick-up reel.
Meanwhile, the Jaguar 840 will receive the larger Mercedes-Benz OM 471 LA Stage 5 6-cyl engine already used in the Jaguar 850. Its ample displacement of 12.8 litres means that engine output for the smallest forage harvester in the current Claas product range is increased by 27hp, taking the maximum output to 435hp at 1,600 rpm.
The Jaguar 840 has a 730mm wide feeder unit with four precompression rollers as well as a 750mm wide chopping cylinder with a diameter of 630mm. As an option, it can be equipped with the MCC roller corncracker with a sawtooth pro le, the MCC Max with the particularly durable BusaCLAD coating or the MCC Shredlage cracker. It is therefore possible to select the right technology for intensive crop processing across the entire length-of-cut spectrum.
Additionally, the Jaguar 900 and 800 can now also be equipped with the new Cemis 1200 terminal with the newly developed GPS Pilot. As well as representing an alternative to the row sensor when harvesting maize with the Orbis and the CAM Pilot when harvesting grass, this automated steering system can also be used when harvesting whole crop silage or other types of forage crops. The Cemis 1200 has a 12in screen that provides a 2D and 3D display with a splittable screen, as well as online task management and documentation with data export by means of telematics or USB stick.
Another new development is the two-stage activation of Auto Pilot/GPS Pilot and Cemos Auto Performance or Cruise Pilot. After turning and entering the next track, the operator rst activates the steering system at the touch of a button and accelerates up to the speed at which the machine is able to make optimal use of the available power; with a second push of the button on the CMotion lever, Cemos Auto Performance or Cruise Pilot – depending on the system tted – takes automatic control of the ground speed. This enables faster adjustment to the set engine speed, the most e cient power level and a suitable ground speed. If the pushbutton is pressed down somewhat longer; both functions are activated simultaneously as usual. FG
