Forage harvester Claas Jaguar 850

Used this Claas Jaguar 850 a few times during corn season. Setup's mostly straightforward, and I really like how everything for operation is laid out-don't gotta fumble around for controls. Engine's got enough kick for pretty much everything, just don't ignore maintenance or stuff pops up. The feed rollers are strong, and chopping's smooth, but with heavy silage you can notice the workload. Cab is okay, decent comfort, but it gets a bit noisy sometimes after a few hours. Not the cheapest machine out there and the parts aren't always the quickest to swap, but it holds its performance well. Wouldn't mind some tweaks to noise and maybe a few more features in the cab, but not a dealbreaker.

I got the chance to operate the Claas Lexion 8700 during last year's harvest. Here's my take. The new monitor system is a big improvement; I could navigate the settings easily without much prior training. Although the control system is user-friendly, the dependency on the electronic interface might be tricky during peak season if a glitch occurs. Efficiency-wise, the dynamic cooling system stood out; it's great that the grain retains quality even in the heat. Some aspects still need improvement, like accessibility to certain service points.

Testing out the Lexion 480 for our operations revealed its strengths in durability and adaptability. Adjusting the settings for optimal performance did require some time, but once set, it executed tasks efficiently. Comfortable enough for long days, and its upkeep remains manageable.

I’ve spent some time with the Claas Trion recently. One thing that stands out to me is its productivity. Compared to previous models I’ve used, it handles large fields efficiently. However, there’s a slight learning curve to fully understand all the new controls. Nonetheless, the reliability of this machine during long days is truly appreciated.

Used the TRION 530 for a mid-sized grain farm project. The user interface in the cabin is pretty intuitive, but adjusting the threshing speed configuration took some trial-and-error initially. It's got commendable fuel efficiency, and the straw spreading feature performed adequately. Slightly struggled with damp field conditions, though the manual suggests better configurations which I might have overlooked.

Tried out the Trion model on our fields recently. Adjusting for different grains to soybeans was quite seamless. Field conditions sometimes tested its capacity, but it managed decently overall. Noticed it's rather efficient even with prolonged usage. Might have benefited from slightly better user-comfort features. But all considered, it’s a reliable machine for diverse needs.

I recently got to try out the Claas Trion on my varied crops. It handles well, consistently delivering clean grain. I noticed significant improvements with its automatic adjustments-it really simplifies things during peak harvest times. However, it does take some time to get fully accustomed to all its features, especially concerning crop type settings. Maintenance seems pretty standard thus far.

Got my hands on the Lexion 770, the one with the Perkins engine. I spend long days in the field and honestly, the power is plenty. The 12.5L has more than enough grunt. What surprised me was how easy it is to do daily maintenance. Motor access is wide open, just use the ladder - nothing blocks you. Radiator swings out easy, air filter pops off without any tool. You can check everything in a few minutes before starting. But some covers and ladders still could be sturdier, feels a bit rattly at times after a few seasons. Night lights for maintenance are useful. These small details make a difference when you are dead tired. Not much to complain about except maybe the price - these machines are never cheap, but at least the engine is solid.
