The Claas Jaguar 980 is a forage harvester, a self-propelled machine designed to harvest and process fresh forage crops—typically grass, legumes, and corn silage—for livestock feed. Claas is a leading European manufacturer of harvest and forage machinery, known for engineering robust equipment used across agriculture and large-scale farming operations worldwide.
This 2017 model is powered by a MAN engine rated at 885 horsepower, providing the substantial power required for continuous chopping and processing of dense crop material. The machine runs on four wheels in 2-wheel drive configuration. The front tires measure 900 and carry approximately 60 percent remaining tread; the rear tires are 600 with 60 percent tread remaining. An onboard air compressor and automatic lubrication system are fitted to support operation and maintenance in the field.
The cutting mechanism comprises 20 knives in the cutter head, with 50 percent of their service life remaining. Standard corn knives are installed. A Claas-brand moisture monitor is included, allowing operators to assess crop conditions during harvest. The kernel processor is a Scherer unit fitted with manual adjustment; the processing rollers—type TC—show 50 percent remaining service life, and the feed roll condition is rated above average. The feed rollers feature replaceable wear stripes.
Additional features include an AM/FM radio, air conditioning in the operator's cab, and a spout-mounted camera for enhanced visibility during unloading. The machine is currently located in Minnesota, USA, and is priced at $325,000.
