Claas Crop Tiger Combine Harvester

[Trevor Cree]

Does anyone have any experience of the compact Claas Crop Tiger (58 h.p.) manufactured in India? It should have the advantage of Claas quality combined with lower Indian manufacturing costs. Any comments welcomed.

A recent press release indicates that Claas have opened a new Crop Tiger production facility located at Chandigarh in the Punjab. (http://machinist.in/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&...). It is clear that Claas would not be expanding its manufacturing capacity of the Claas Tiger if the machine was not economically viable in India. If that is the case then the Crop Tiger could have a role in neighbouring countries, particularly where double/triple paddy cropping is practiced, resulting in very short turnaround times.

Will be very interesting to see how this shakes out. Is it for export or for local market? If for local market there are so many "cheap" and inexpensive combine harvesters made in India but whose life is short as compared to western made but 2 - 3 times more expensive. Will the locals learn to make better quality for less (a la China)? Or will the big international come in and start buying out the little guys out? After many years now in India I don't see John Deere capturing the tractor market like I would guess they would have hoped...or are they just happy to export?

To date we have not had any reports on its technical performance in wheat and rice under working conditions but it seems to be selling well in India,

The CROP TIGER’s threshing rotor is fitted at right angles in the machine. Its speed can be adjusted to four different levels to suit the crop. The standard rice model can also be replaced by a grain model as required.
Threshing and separating.

The rotor is housed in a separating concave made of high-strength steel, which offers a large separating area measuring 1.8 m². The separating concave can be adjusted to suit a variety of crop types, which in turn increases its versatility
Clean crops.

The cleaning system is matched to the size of the machine and offers a cleaning area of 1.56 m². The top and bottom sieves can be adjusted independently, whilst a multi-speed fan ensures an even flow of air.

This machines seems to be also very useful in Africa, especially in east africa for harvesting paddy, but unfortunately the price of the machine is very expensive, most of us poor farmer doesnot manage to own one

has anyone from the uk seen the article about this in classic tractor magazine covers 4 pages

I have personally field tested the track-type Claas Crop Tiger in Tayug, Pangasinan, Philippines back in 1999 and proved very useful in harvesting lodged rice with clean grain output. We also field tested a corn header for the Crop Tiger that was designed and fabricated in South Africa with encouraging results after adjusting the spacing of the steel bars in the threshing rotor.

This combine harvester can do 0.5 to 0.65 hectares per hour on rice paddies and 0.7 to 0.85 hectares per hour on corn fields. The difference being the due to the water control embankments that separate the paddies.

The trouble with obtaining shelled corn using the combine harvester is that these should immediately be sent to the dryer facilities else the corn grain having 28-30 per cent moisture content shall ferment within 8 hours. With the use of corn cobs as biomass fuel for the dryer and power cogeneration facility, the preference is going back to the use of corn picker-harvester instead of the "more advanced" corn thresher-harvester.

As it is, after the "obsolete" corn picker gets the corn ears, the Crop Tiger follows functioning as shredder of the stovers and the shredded biomass plowed backed to the soil by a tractor with a diskplow-rotavator attachment.

We still have to look into how to use the Crop Tiger as thresher-harvester of soya beans.

Finally, the replacement tract of the Crop Tiger is quite expensive. We have tried to extend the useful life of the tracts by attaching strips of used truck tires and move the harvester between sites using an Isuzu Forward. Latter reduced fuel cost that the harvester would otherwise utilize in moving between places. The truck with attachable sidings then serve as harvester tender.
