Metcalfe Farms, Yorkshire - JAGUAR 980

DIRECT DISC
Available in working widths of 5.20m and 6.10m, the DIRECT
DISC has proven to be the quickest and most efficient means
of harvesting whole crop or other standing crops that need
mowing and harvesting in a single pass.
The DIRECT DISC uses a disc mower bar to quickly and
cleanly cut the crop. A hydraulically adjustable paddle roller
8 behind the mower bar directly transfers the crop to the intake
auger from where it is transferred to the JAGUAR’s intake.
QUANTIMETER
yield monitoring
The new yield monitoring and mapping system
available on the JAGUAR 900 range for the first
time allows spot and total yields to be accurately
measured, and for that data to be used in the
creation of yield maps for further analysis.
To achieve this, potentiometers in the feeder roller
housing initially record the amount of crop being
picked-up. This information is then compared to data
from moisture sensors located in the chute to establish an
accurate yield total.
This information can then be stored and downloaded for
subsequent use with yield mapping software.
