In a badly knocked, and in some patches flattened, field of maize that had been planted under plastic, Claas UK in conjunction with Kellys of Borris demonstrated the 16.16l 775hp Claas 970. This is a striking machine with subtle design changes to the engine panels but equally impressive was the maize head. This machine was fitted with a folding 9m 12-row Orbis 900 maize head, something not that common in Ireland but more than suitable for this calibre of harvester.
