Silage making is both a science and an art, but Claas says it offers onboard technology featured in its Claas Perfect Partners to help farmers make silage more efficiently and effectively.

Claas has recently celebrated the 250,000th CLAAS mower – a Disco 3200 FC – rolling off the production line in Bad Saulgau, south-west Germany.

Christchurch-headquartered Landpower and its Claas Harvest Centre dealerships has taken out the Global After Sales Excellence award in Germany, during the annual Claas after sales meeting at the end of January.

January to March is the heart of New Zealand’s ‘golden’ harvest, but also the time of the year when Landpower and Claas Harvest Centre welcomes two optimisation specialists from Germany to support Claas combine customers in the cab of their machine.

Creating perfect silage is both a science and an art, and it all begins with the right tools, according to machinery maker Claas.

Despite conditions in the farm machinery industry, which can only be described as difficult, the German-headquartered Claas Group has reported net sales of €5 billion for the 2024 financial, around €1.1 billion, or 19% lower than the corresponding period in 2023.

Renowned as market leaders in the self-propelled forage harvester sector, Claas has used its experience of chopping a wide range of crops on farms worldwide to improve the heart of the machine – the chopping cylinder.

A new digital platform by Claas, that went live in over 30 countries on October 1st, provides a direct link to all digital solutions in the Claas product world, while also connecting farm employees, managers, machines and dealerships.

Over the last two decades, the days of combi machines for spreading and raking grass have disappeared, with manufacturers and end users realising that dedicated machines lead to far better results.

Recently Landpower and Claas Harvest Centre unveiled the Claas Xerion 12 series high-horsepower tractor, ending the wait for the much-vaunted model in Australia and New Zealand.
