Claas introduced a flagship 900 Series forager to the public at Agritechnica. At 925hp, the 990 is the most powerful forager offering from Claas to date, surpassing the existing 884hp 980.
From 2020, the 990 and the 980 models will be powered by a 24l V12 MAN engine. An 850hp version will be used in the 980. The 970 is moving to a new 16l MAN D4276 straight six, which has an output of 790hp. These engines are Stage V-compliant.
The 900 range will now come with a new touchscreen Cebis terminal. First introduced to the Lexion combine range, CEMOS Automatic is now also available on the 900 series. This system can be set to maintain a target engine speed, and therefore crop flow or forward speed while adjusting the engine horsepower to the required amount.

Another new feature on the 900 Series is the dynamic steering option. It allows operators to go from lock to lock in one and a quarter revolutions of the steering wheel.
A new 42-blade V-Max drum is now offered on the 900 Series machines. It’s capable of chopping the forage as short as 3.5mm. The cylinder can be run with as few as 14 knives.
