Combine harvester CLAAS Dominator 108: characteristics, price, reviews, analogues

The first Klaas combines of the Dominator series appeared on the domestic market of grain harvesting equipment already in the 90s of the last century. For the most part, used cars have proven themselves to be the best in terms of versatility, productivity, efficiency and quality of work.

Excellent results were obtained when harvesting cereals, seeds and oilseeds, which made it possible to bring Klaas combine harvesters to the top of consumer ratings.

The Claas Dominator 108 combine belongs to the category of universal machines that meets all the requirements of mid-level farms specializing in the production of grain agricultural products.

The owners of these cars highly value:

• high reliability of components and assemblies;
• economical fuel consumption;
• minimal amount of grain loss when harvesting fallen and low-growing grain masses;
• possibility of independent maintenance and repair;
• interchangeability and unification of the repair and consumable range.

The characteristic features of the Dominator 108 combine harvester and its branded versions of the same type are low-time maintenance, minimal refueling and unloading downtime, and stable operating parameters throughout its entire service life. The reliability of the equipment is confirmed by the impeccable operation of grain harvesting complexes of this brand for 20 years or more.

Specifications

The combines of the early series were equipped with six-cylinder power units Mercedes-Benz OM 366 A with a power of 180 hp. On cars of later releases, this figure was increased to 221 hp with a slight increase in specific fuel consumption.

The operational capabilities of the Klaas Dominator 108 model have been expanded due to a 3-speed transmission, which ensures full activation of the header, threshing, separation and cleaning units. The range of operating and transport speeds is 1.7-20 km/h.

Working equipment

The standard width of the header is 6 meters. The working reach of alternative models is 4.5 and 5.1 meters, respectively. The design of a high-speed header with a mechanical or electric reel drive and a reverse function provides for cutting height adjustment, microrelief copying, and a minimum amount of maintenance.

Threshing and separation systems

The combine takes advantage of the classic drum threshing system, which allows processing straw-grain mass of high humidity with minimal losses of less than 1%.

The design of the separator with a working area of ​​4.13 m2 includes a 5-key straw walker with a length of 3.9 m. The working dimensions of the separation circuit itself are 4.8 m2.

Cleaning

Removal of chaff and other light fractions is carried out through an air flow from a performance-controlled turbofan and a system of coarse and fine mesh gratings. The presence of a 3D system stabilizes the productivity and quality of grain cleaning when the combine is operating on steep terrain.

The grain tank itself, with a volume of 3200 liters, is equipped with visual control of the filling level, which is very convenient.

Advantages

The concept of this model includes technical solutions that became the basis for the creation of new, more powerful, productive and automated machines of the new generation.

• The flexible traction parameters of the diesel drive, the performance of the threshing drum and the cleaning system make it possible to harvest grain crops at high speeds.
• A comfortable cabin with an adjustable microclimate and convenient placement of controls contribute to the operator’s well-being and stable performance throughout the entire shift assignment.
• The transition to the production of more advanced models did not affect the reduction in the range of spare parts and entire units, and the ordered parts are delivered by the service department in a short time.
• The interchangeability of the repair assortment with other branded prototypes provides the opportunity to restore failed equipment with minimal time and material costs.

The disadvantages common to all imported equipment are high cost and lack of information about the features of independent service and repair.

Price

New Dominator model 108 combines are not available for sale. The cost of technically sound used cars of early series with an optimal resource reserve varies in the range of 35 thousand euros. Prices for equipment produced in 1999-2001 have stabilized at a higher level, within 60-70 thousand euros.

Analogs

Modern combine harvesters in the mid-power range are equipped with power units with a capacity of 290-340 hp. Identical in purpose, but more energy-intensive, grain harvesting complexes are represented on the domestic market by John Deere Series 6 models and Case IH Axial Flow 5140 combines.

Owner reviews

One Klaas Dominator, which has worked conscientiously for 17 harvesting seasons, copes with the work of two relatively intact SK-4 combines only due to the lack of downtime and stoppages. The performance of this machine does not sacrifice quality, reliability and durability are an order of magnitude higher. During my 8 years of dealing with imported combines, there were only two serious failures. The equipment can be repaired even in the field, especially since many parts can be restored. Fedor Matveevich

I update my small machine and tractor fleet mainly with imported equipment. The latest acquisition is a Dominator grain harvester manufactured in 2001, which, on the advice of fellow farmers, I ordered from Germany. The machine is in working order, but requires a little maintenance. I hope that the model of a brand known for its quality will help to harvest the future harvest quickly, efficiently and without loss.
