Claas brings 1000 Series SP forage harvesters to Canada

In mid-August, Claas unveiled its new line of Jaguar forage harvesters at an event in Visalia, California, deep in the heart of that state’s dairy region.

This fall a vintage Roto Thresh combine returned to a Saskatchewan field to do something it had not done in a very long time: harvest wheat. This is likely the only Roto Thresh to actually be put to work harvesting a crop in decades. In this video, Glacier FarmMedia’s senior machinery editor Scott Garvey was there to record the event and speak with the two men who restored the combine back to working condition.
