CLAAS launches new
JAGUAR 980 and 970
Already successfully established for many years, for 2017
the JAGUAR 980 and 970 models from CLAAS have been
enhanced and are now available with many new
equipment features.
hese include a
continuously
variable front
attachment drive,
an enhanced crop
flow system,
redesigned running gear and the
CLAAS AUTO FILL system for
automatic trailer loading to both
the side and rear.
Hydrostatic drive adjusts front
attachment speed automatically
The optional new continuously
variable front attachment drive
enables efficient power
transmission at varying speeds.
This is particularly advantageous
when harvesting with the PICK UP
and the ORBIS maize front
attachment. If the chop length
changes, the system automatically
makes a corresponding
adjustment to the front attachment
speed.
The result is a very even crop
flow and improved chop quality.
Furthermore, the operator can
react to changing harvest
conditions at any time by manually
adjusting the automatically
controlled front attachment speed.
Efficient front attachment drive for
every requirement
The constant-speed mechanical
drive that has proven itself over
many years of practical use
remains standard. However, the
mechanical drive can now also be
combined with the continuously
variable drive.
This split-power variant with
mechanical and hydraulic drive
provides high power transmission
at a constant speed. This allows
the DIRECT DISC and maize
pickers to be driven powerfully
and extremely efficiently.

The latest JAGUAR 980/970
models also feature a new
enhanced crop flow system. One
of its key features is the hydraulic
clamping system for the shear bar
which allows the shear bar to be
adjusted both accurately and
quickly.
During shear bar adjustment,
the hydraulic clamp is released
allowing the shear bar to be
adjusted without resistance, and
so allows the shear bar to be set
more accurately and puts less
stress on the shear bar
components. Once the shear bar
has been set the hydraulic system
clamps and holds the shear bar
into position. This not only
improves chop quality but also
helps to reduce wear.
In addition to the shear bar
improvements, the sharpening
system has also received an
