When Claas added its latest harvesting technology to the straw walker Lexions, a Cambridgeshire farm was keen to try a pre-series model. Jane Carley reports.

A 23-year-old Case IH 2188 Axial Flow provides cost-effective harvesting for one Wiltshire farm, as Geoff Ashcroft found out during a recent visit.

In 2019, Claas announced a host of improvements to the Jaguar 970 self-propelled forage harvester, with new cab controls and a new six-cylinder engine, usurping the previous models V8. Simon Henley spoke to the firm involved in testing the preproduction model and who is now running two of the new six-pot Jags.

Reducing the weed seeds lost into the field before and during harvest shows potential to cut weed burdens. Jane Carley finds out more.

Boasting 100 tonnes per hour with only 1 per cent losses, one of the most highly anticipated recent combine developments has to be John Deeres new X9. We caught up with the machine in action.

Featuring a new 925hp top model, more power across the range, new control concept and beefier components, there is a lot to learn about Claas latest 900 Series self-propelled foragers.

Not one to rest on its laurels, Claas has gone back to the drawing board to give its Lexion combine range a comprehensive overhaul.

With its official reveal at last years Agritechnica, we managed to catch up with New Hollands latest generation CX combine for a test drive, before the harvest season ended.
