The use of appropriate front attachments for different crops opens up flexible opportunities for high machine utilisation through out the year. The CLAAS JAGUAR is well known for its performance and reliability in chopping maize
What is often disregarded is the importance and variety of front attachments, which can be provided with the CLAAS JAGUAR. At the end, it is this vital feature in front of the machine, which makes it one of the most versatile forage harvesters. Using ORBIS, PICK UP or DIRECT DISC as front attachments allows the JAGUAR to operate also in grass, napier grass, whole plant silage and other crops or residues.
Over 45 years of continuous improvements and adaptation to local farming needs and energy production convinced many customers all over the globe: more than 40,000 of the JAGUAR with different front attachments have been delivered over the years, with some of the units still being in action after 20 years especially in Asia.
Four front attachments of the CLAAS JAGUAR are as follows

• Ideal ground contour adaptation as pick up is free to swivel as required and guide wheels are optimally positioned
3.Whole crop harvesting with the DIRECT DISC
Whether one is intending to use milk ripe plants for high-grade animal feed or as biomass for energy production, this front attachment means you can mow and chop in a single pass.
Advantages at a glance
• MAX CUT mower bed for very clean crop cutting
• Paddle roller for optimal crop flow in short crops
• Very large intake auger for high throughput
