Combine harvester Jaguar-850 - reliable assistance in the process of preparing plant feed

The German brand Claas has been operating in the agricultural machinery market for almost 100 years. The brand's products are popular among consumers due to their reliability and high technical parameters. Every domestic farmer dreams of a Claas combine, but not everyone can afford this machine. 5 models of the brand are officially exported to Russia. Among forage harvesting equipment, the most popular is the Klaas Jaguar 850 combine harvester.

The equipment is characterized by a high level of performance and a long service life. The combine is considered the best-selling model in the forage harvester segment worldwide. The main features of the Claas Jaguar 850 are:

• high daily productivity;
• great loading capabilities;
• unrivaled operational efficiency.

Forage harvester Jaguar 850

Jaguar-850 was created by the German company Claas, known throughout the world for the production of super-reliable agricultural equipment that provides truly high quality and performance. Claas machines always ensure efficient operation and a very long service life. That is why the company’s forage harvesting “Jaguars” are currently the most popular and sold-out harvesting equipment.

With the help of Claas combines of this line, it is possible to perform a wide range of work, allowing you to fully prepare the plant mass for winter forage harvesting. These are actions such as:

• Mowing all kinds of grasses, from cultivated meadows to wild ones, with different stem heights, including tall stems.
• Grinding the mown mass to a predetermined length of segments.
• Selection of rolls of pre-cut and partially dried stems, followed by chopping.
• Loading into trailer carts and vehicle bodies for transportation to the place of further processing.

Jaguar with marking index 850 is technically distinguished by a very high degree of performance and high daily productivity. It can handle high loads and high operational turnover, while safety and comfort are at the highest German level.

Device

The design of the machine determines one of its most important differences - the direct movement of waste plant material from the rollers to the guide flap, as well as the high quality of grinding with maximum compactness of the cutting devices.

Engine

The engine for installation on the combine is provided by Mercedes Benz. It has:

• High power – 412 hp, which gives the special vehicle the ability to operate unhindered under conditions of any severity and load size.
• Large values ​​of rotation frequency – 1800 rpm.
• The ability to transmit to the combine the speed of transport movement in the general flow of up to 40 km/h.

Motion drive

Depending on the need for the machine’s functions, you can choose a modification with a transport speed of up to 25 km/h or one that can easily move along with all other road vehicles at 40 km/h:

• Profistar allows you to move at a lower speed (up to 25 km/h), but makes it possible to supply maximum load at small radii of work coverage.
• Speedstar is chosen by those who need to frequently move the car over fairly long distances. It reaches a maximum speed of up to 40 km/h when second gear is engaged on the highway, giving a maximum speed of up to 25 km/h when working in meadows, and a maximum of first gear of up to 16.8 km/h.

Grinding unit

Grinding of the herbal mass occurs in a chopping drum, inside of which cutting knives are located. The economical energy consumption of this device is achieved thanks to the original arrangement of the knives, which allows for a pulling shearing cut that is gentle on machine parts rather than straight. Their placement has 2 features:

• They lie in pairs in identical planes.
• In pairs they form a V-shape.

In addition, adjustment and sharpening of knives is carried out automatically, without disassembling the device, by controlling this process directly from the operator’s cabin.

Transportation of plant mass

The transition of plant raw materials from one combine unit to another is absolutely straightforward. At the same time, the special machine can be equipped with an additional device that can also grind mature grain mass. This device is called Corn Cracker by the manufacturers. It is set in motion at any necessary minute, grinding the remains of feed with large grains (corn, etc.).

High performance! The main problem is to provide it with space and transport. “Jaguar-85O” is one of the most popular German forage harvesters. This is a self-propelled, high-performance complex designed to mechanize the entire range of work on the preparation of plant feed, with their simultaneous processing into silage or haylage.

The Jaguar-85O model belongs to the 8OO series. The company's product line includes an even more productive 900 series. But externally, these forage harvesters are very similar. The cockpit and controls are generally the same, and non-specialists can distinguish them only by the inscriptions on the body. Jaguars of the 9OO series have a V-MAX chopping drum, and Jaguars of the 8OO series have a V-Classic drum, with a choice between 2O, 24 and 28 knives, providing 12 - 16.8 cuts per minute, and cutting lengths in the ranges of 5–21 mm, 4–17 mm and 3.15–15 mm.

Design Features The design of the combine determines one of its most important properties - the direct movement of waste plant material from the rollers to the guide gate, with consistently high quality of chopping with maximum compactness of the cutting devices. The transition of plant feed from one combine unit to another is completely straightforward. In addition, the Jaguar-85O can be equipped with an additional device called the Corn Cracker, which can also grind mature grain mass. It is set in motion at any time to further grind the remains of feed with large grains - corn. For the convenience of unloading processed feed into the bodies of any type of transport, the unloading silo pipe of the combine can be rotated to any angle. To facilitate work with a variety of plant materials, the Jaguar-85O combine is equipped with regulatory and protective systems that operate directly at the entrance of the cut mass into the machine. This is a “Comfort Cut” regulator for the length of chopped pieces, which also simultaneously changes the feed speed; as well as a “Rock Stop” protective device, which blocks access to the working parts of the combine for large and medium-sized stones. The metal detector built into the front feed roller responds to any body, even small ones, capable of magnetization. By instantly stopping the feeding apparatus is protected from damage. Thanks to the indication of the location of detection in the Cebis electronic system, the operator can quickly determine where to look for a metal object and quickly remove it. For illumination on the roof of the cab, modern LED work lights are installed in the rear. There are also them on the silage pipeline - they turn along with the flow of plant feed. These headlights provide excellent visibility when cleaning at night. They provide extremely uniform illumination with white, daytime-like headlight beam. And LED headlights consume only one third of the energy consumed by similar halogen headlights. The headlights are hermetically protected from dust and water.

The hydraulic distributor sections are located in an ideally visible place, on the left side of the combine. Proportional valves of sections for controlling the silo and attachment provide smooth control during automatic operation. When walking to the edge of the field and raising the attachment, the vibration damping function is automatically activated after leaving the working height. This improvement in comfort protects the machine, for example when spraying. The attachment cushions with an appropriate level of smoothness. The rear panel and large, one-piece side panels are well-designed to provide exceptionally easy access to the main components. For more serious maintenance or repairs, it is possible to remove the rear mudguards. In addition, the right panel opens sideways by 180 degrees. This is actually a useful solution that greatly simplifies important service operations, as well as installation and removal of the grain crusher. The panel, which opens very freely and widely, provides ideal access to the grain crusher and the accelerator (which has undergone certain changes to simplify the removal of the grain crusher rollers. However, some owners, if it is necessary to dismantle the grain crusher, do not follow the official recommendations for removing panels, but use a faster way: using a telescopic loader with extended pallet forks. Dampers equipped with oil cooling dampen the effects of possible shocks when lumps pass through mechanically driven pre-pressing rollers. Most Claas headers are standardized and compatible with combines of both the 8OO and 9OO series. All of them, including the Jaguar-85O, received a cam safety clutch.It serves for easy and convenient connection of the headers, as well as to save the header mechanism from mechanical breakdowns.

Chopping unit Chopping of silage or grass mass occurs in a chopping drum, inside of which cutting knives are located. This device is distinguished by precisely economical energy consumption, which is achieved thanks to the originally positioned knives. This allows you to perform not an ordinary straight cut, but a pulling shearing cut along an oblique path, which is gentle on machine parts. The placement of knives has the following features: the knives are arranged in pairs, in identical planes, and in pairs they form a V-shape. Adjustment and sharpening of knives is carried out automatically, without disassembling the device, by controlling this process directly from the operator’s cab. The Jaguar-85O has a mechanical 6-speed gearbox for changing the cutting length “Length-Of-Chop” (LOC). The “senior” 900 series is equipped with hydraulic pre-pressing rollers and a stepless reduction gear for adjusting the cutting length. Automatic knife sharpening is a standard feature. However, it must be borne in mind that after sharpening you need to manually adjust the shear bar. A new feature for classic shredding is the "Quick-Stop" main drive brake. It ensures a quick stop of the grinding elements for maximum safety. Another important feature is the ability to adjust the gap between the accelerator impeller and its rear panel. It is adjustable with a turnbuckle, which significantly reduces wear.

Engine of the Jaguar-850 combine The Jaguar-85O is equipped with a six-cylinder Mercedes-Benz engine of the 0M 46O model. It's a 12.8-litre diesel with a claimed power output of 335 kilowatts/455 horsepower, at an operating speed of 1,800 rpm. The exhaust gas system in combines produced in the 2010s uses the AdBlue reagent to bring the engine to compliance with the current Stage-IIIB / Tier-IV environmental standards. The “0M 46O” motor is capable of providing the highest performance already at speeds of 1600...1800. And in the transport position, when moving the combine, give it a speed of up to forty kilometers per hour. The elastic connection between the motor and the chassis minimizes noise and vibration. Working under intense conditions is impossible without intensive heat removal. On the Jaguar-85O, radiators placed one above the other provide effective cooling under all harvesting conditions. Due to the large surface area of ​​the radiator mesh, the air flow rate and, accordingly, its contamination are reduced. The mesh itself is located vertically and is constantly cleaned by a rotating suction arm. The Jaguar-87O combines are equipped with 8-cylinder Mercedes diesel engines “0M 5O2” with a working volume of 15.9 liters. Some new Jaguar 85Os are equipped with even more powerful Mercedes-Benz 0M 471 engines, delivering 462 horsepower and meeting Stage-IV emissions standards.

Forage harvester

Forage harvester - used for mowing and selecting cultivated and wild grasses, tall plants, chopping and loading the resulting mass for further transportation. By design they are divided into self-propelled and trailed, and by type of chopper - into drum and disk. The main units of the combine are the header (picker), feeder, chopping apparatus, and transport devices. As a rule, the drive of the working parts for self-propelled combines is hydraulic, for trailed ones - from the power take-off shaft of the traction machine. The working width of the treated area can reach 12 meters. Modern combine harvesters have a fully automated control and monitoring system, for example, like a beet harvester.

For the greatest efficiency in working with diverse plant raw materials, the combine is equipped with regulatory and protective systems that operate directly at the entrance of the cut mass into the inside of the machine:

Regulator for the length of crushed sections Comfort Cut, which also simultaneously changes the feed speed, Rock Stop protective system, which blocks access to the working parts of the combine for large and medium-sized stones.

Design and service features

The design of the Claas Jaguar 850 combine allows for the highest quality of chopping of plant matter with the compactness of the main components. In terms of equipment, the 800 series models are close to the 900 series modifications. Externally, they differ only in the rear, and the side panels and silhouettes are similar.

The reliable chassis is complemented by a hydrostatic transmission with electric drive. Driving is controlled via a 2-speed manual gearbox. Switching in the Klaas Jaguar 850 model occurs with minor jerks (especially for beginners). The rear axle can be equipped with a mechanical drive (optional). Electrical cables and hydraulic pipes are grouped very conveniently. An optional trailer brake drive is available.

Claas Jaguar 850 is available in several versions:

• Profistar – maximum speed is 25 km/h. At the same time, the equipment is capable of delivering the maximum level of load at small radii of coverage;
• Speedstar - maximum speed is 40 km/h. The best option for consumers who need to regularly move the combine over significant distances.

Claas Jaguar 850 is used for mowing and picking up crop material. The main difference between the model and other forage harvesting machines is the direct movement of the product from the rollers to the guide valve. Main working parts of the combine:

• chopping drum with 24 knives and a re-chopping unit containing 100 teeth. A thoughtful arrangement of knives reduces the energy consumption of the device and allows you to perform a pulling shearing cut, which, unlike a straight cut, wears out machine parts less. The placement of knives has the following features: in pairs they have a V-shape and are located in the same planes. Sharpening and adjustment of knives occurs automatically. The process is controlled from the cabin, and disassembly of the device is not required;
• transportation system. The transition of plant mass occurs along a straight route. Additionally, the combine can be equipped with a special device for grinding mature grain mass, which is called a Corn Cracker. It can be used at any time to further grind leftover feed and large grains. The unloading silo can be rotated 190 degrees, which ensures maximum loading convenience;
• receiving chamber. The combine is equipped with protective and regulatory systems that operate at the entrance of plant mass into the machinery. They include a special Comfort Cut chopping length regulator, a function for optimizing the feed speed and a Rock Stop protective mechanism that protects the working parts from stones;

Distinctive features of the Claas Jaguar 850 are its high turnover and the ability to quickly load and unload. At the same time, the creators did not forget about operator comfort. The combine is equipped with a spacious cabin with 2 seats and panoramic windows providing excellent visibility. The combine operator's workplace has air suspension. The cabin is also equipped with a heater and air conditioning, allowing you to feel great regardless of weather conditions.

The Claas Jaguar 850 cabin is equipped with a Quantimeter device that measures harvesting performance, an on-board informant and a Communicator device that provides information on yield, operating hours, area harvested and other parameters. Optionally, it is possible to install a device that prints this information on paper.

The combine is literally crammed with electronic systems, so it will be quite difficult for an inexperienced operator at first. The Auto Fill device (automatic filling of transport), control systems, the Opti Fill mechanism (optimized control of the silo drive), the Telematics function and other innovations take time to master. Their presence increases the efficiency of the equipment, but complicates the maintenance process. It is quite difficult to do it on your own. This fact, coupled with the high cost of the Claas Jaguar 850 model, are the main disadvantages of this technology. In terms of quality and functional characteristics, there can be no complaints about it.

Price of new Jaguar 850 and used

The cost of a new combine ranges from 12 to 17 million rubles. Such a significant difference in price is determined by the additional equipment of the combine, as well as by the fact that dealers have different conditions for the supply of machines from Germany and different percentages of profit received. Depending on the condition, the cost of a used Claas Jaguar 850 combine ranges from 3.5 to 7.5 million rubles.

Analogues of the Jaguar 850 are combine harvesters. This is an American company that produces equipment in more than 27 countries around the world. These combines are similar to Claas machines in cost and technical parameters. There is a Belarusian analogue called “Polesie”; it significantly outperforms its competitors in cost. There is also a domestic manufacturer with the Don brand of combines, which have a good price-quality ratio.

We can say with confidence that the Jaguar 850 is one of the best representatives in its class. Since it was developed in Germany, it is highly reliable and practical.

CLAAS presents a new flagship - JAGUAR 990

CLAAS presented the flagship model of the 900 series of forage harvesters - JAGUAR 990. Among the machines in the line, this combine has a maximum engine power of 925 horsepower. It also has a 24-liter MAN V12 engine. For the European market, the machine can be equipped with a TERRA TRAC half-track undercarriage.

Also, both the 900 and 800 series are now equipped with a CEBIS touch screen control terminal. The new CEBIS touch screen terminal allows quick and easy access to control all machine functions. Under any operating conditions, the terminal’s touch screen changes its location and is in the operator’s field of vision. From its normal position directly in front of the operator, the screen can be folded to the right behind the armrest, thereby ensuring optimal visibility of the entire front attachment, including, for example, working in fields with fallen corn. In addition, the CEBIS terminal provides the operator with a complete report on how the dependence of the cutting length and the volume of additives applied on the dry matter content is automatically calculated.

Thanks to the CEMOS AUTO PERFORMANCE function, the JAGUAR combine adheres to the set engine speed; for this purpose, the speed of the combine and the engine power are adjusted to the current crop flow. When its volume increases, the engine power first increases, and then the speed decreases. If the mass flow decreases, the usable engine power automatically decreases. This maintains engine speed at a constant level and prevents sudden changes in engine load, resulting in uniform mass flow, high operational reliability and reduced fuel consumption. The system also reduces the workload on the operator, especially in difficult harvesting conditions.

The intelligent systems integrated into the JAGUAR make it possible to produce high-quality feed, both through carefully dosed additives, for which there is a special 375 l tank, and using silage concentrates from the ACTISILER 37 tank. Its double walls protect the added substances from high external temperatures. A special pump provides precise dosage from 0.2 to 20 l/h or, depending on the capacity, from 10 to 50 ml/t.

The dry matter content detected by the near-infrared (NIR) sensor serves as the starting point for setting the cutting length and the amount of additives applied. In addition to measuring dry matter, the NIR sensor also determines the structural composition of the forage, which varies significantly between crops. Based on the data obtained, appropriate reporting can be generated.

With 42 knives and an increased cutting frequency of up to 25,200 cuts per minute, the new V-MAX 42 knife drum offers particularly high productivity. Using the full power of the motor, it is able to provide high-quality shredding of material with a minimum cutting length ranging from 3.5 to 12.5 mm. For longer cuts of grass or SHREDLAGE® forage, the knife drum can operate with one third of the total number of knives. The new V-MAX 42 system is optionally available on the JAGUAR 990, 980 and 970 models.

Hydraulic pre-compression with an intelligent control system ensures high-quality pulp reduction and is now standard on all 900 Series models. Based on the set control parameters, the force of the pre-press rollers is automatically adapted to different crops and changes in the thickness of the crop flow. This solution guarantees consistently good shredding quality even under difficult harvesting conditions.

The TERRA TRAC track concept, developed by CLAAS over many decades, is successfully implemented in the new JAGUAR 990. The track connection system allows the machine to be operated even in the most difficult conditions. Each individual belt link can be raised up at an angle of 10° and downward at an angle of 13°, and the rigid edges of the tracks limit their vertical travel.

When working on hayfields, the tracked suspension's system for protecting the turf from damage works especially well. During a turn, the support rollers of each track are hydraulically pressed down, and the drive wheels, on the contrary, are raised, as a result of which the contact patch is reduced by about a third. In this way, damage to the turf due to the “shear effect” is avoided.

Reviews

Nikolai Nikolaevich Ryazan region, Elatma I have my own farm for growing crops and raising livestock. Three years ago I bought a used Jaguar 850. The purchase was fully justified: fuel consumption is low and performance is high. The equipment easily copes with difficult terrain.

Sergey Fedorovich Moscow region I bought a new Jaguar 850 five years ago. With a high workload, the combine has never failed; we only change consumables and liquids. I managed to purchase the equipment before the currency rose significantly in price, I am very glad, because the current price of the car is beyond my means.
