CLAAS JAGUAR 1200 and CEMOS AUTO CHOPPING Win FARM MACHINE Awards at Agritechnica

Both products have already been awarded a silver Agritechnica Innovation Award. 

Harsewinke, Germany — (November 14, 2025) — CLAAS is bringing home two FARM MACHINE Awards from Agritechnica – the world’s leading agriculture technology trade show – after a jury of 21 international journalists recognized the new JAGUAR 1200 forage harvester and the CEMOS AUTO CHOPPING system as innovation standouts. Both products previously earned silver Agritechnica Innovation Awards.

“Our forage harvesters have been setting benchmarks for decades in terms of productivity, efficiency, cost-effectiveness and driver assistance,” explains Thomas Spiering, Chief Operation Officer at CLAAS. “However, we owe our leading position to farmers and contractors around the world. By listening carefully, we develop and build our machines to meet the requirements of those in the field using them. These awards are not only an honor for our development teams, but for our customers.”

JAGUAR 1200: High Output and Guinness Record-Breaking Performance

The JAGUAR 1200 delivers up to 1,110 hp and throughput rates of up to 500 tons per hour, supported by the widest crop flow on the market and fully hydraulic pre-compression for consistent chop quality. Key features include a 310-mm Corncracker, independent variable drives for front attachments, new high-capacity PICK UP and ORBIS headers and advanced CEMOS operator assistance.

Operator comfort also received an upgrade with a quiet cab, swivel seat, optional joystick steering and digital tools in CLAAS connect, plus the new NUTRIMETER and a high-traction, soil-friendly chassis.

The model harvested 4,515 tons of wheatlage in 12 hours, creating a new Guiness World Record and shattering the 2001 12-hour world record of 2,058 tons.

CEMOS AUTO CHOPPING: Automated, AI-Driven Chop Quality

CEMOS AUTO CHOPPING builds on CLAAS’ AI-supported and cloud-based chop quality analysis. The CSPS value (Corn Silage Processing Score), a standard indicator of feed quality, is determined in real time in the forage harvester. An AI-powered CMOS-sensor camera in the discharge spout analyzes chopped material and grain processing. When the measured value shifts from the target, the system adjusts cracker gap, ground speed and engine power automatically. The data collected can also be transferred to the cloud-based farm management system CLAAS connect, where it can be documented and used for quality assurance evaluations or billing purposes.
