The Claas Orbis 900 is a forage header manufactured by Claas, a leading European producer of harvesting and forage equipment. Forage headers are cutting and collection units designed to harvest chopped forage crops—primarily grass and legumes—for silage and animal feed production. They mount to self-propelled forage harvesters and are essential components in intensive dairy and livestock farming operations.
This 2018 model is configured as a 12-row header with 30-inch row spacing, making it suitable for standard North American crop layouts. The machine features a rotary cutting mechanism with a comfort-cut drive system, which provides smooth, efficient cutting action across the full width. The header is equipped with folding capability for transport and storage. The cutting knives have approximately 60 percent of their service life remaining, indicating moderate wear and continued usability before replacement becomes necessary.
The sheet metal components are in good condition, rated at 7 out of 10. The floor—the internal surface that conveys cut crop material toward the chute—is in average condition. Side shields are constructed from plastic, a common material choice for impact and corrosion resistance. The machine is located in Minnesota, USA, and is priced at $75,732.
