Claas Jaguar Service and Pre Harvest check pt1

Hi, new subscriber here. Brilliant information. Recently bought an old 489 860. Would really love if you get the opportunity to do a similar run through an older machine for those of us trying to keep those older machines alive. Anything you are doing from sharpening blades through to full service like this would be really valuable. Thanks

Hey great video I’m really appreciating just how much we get to see with you. I don’t know of another KZbin mechanic who would put in as much effort as you! Just one question, do you ever take oil samples on your jobs to look for hidden damage to internals?

[@Teredifa]

Thanks allot! As for oil samples we don't actually take samples, One reason is most of the machinery doesn't generally get run to the point that we start planned wear precautions. Our choppers and combines at home will likely never see more than 4000hrs so we kind of just expect a motor to run those hours without major wear. As for at work it is something I have been thinking about since the drastic rise in oil price. But mainly for things like self propelled feeder wagons that receive 400l of Dextron 2 every 1000 hours. at around 7euros per L. Oil analysis could help us possibly run the oils much longer. Other than that I am interested to see if I could learn more about my job by using such samples.

I understand, the only time I have regularly sampled oils is when I looked after the the hire and maintenance on several large generators. It was very useful for deciding if and when to move a machine on and get another new one. Having a mechanical issue with those particular generators in their setting was not an option. I could really see the benefits of checking the S P feeder as that’s well over €3000 just there in the hydraulic oil! The information break down you get back is actually pretty fascinating.

[@Teredifa]

Yeah I have seen others do sampling and when you know what you’re looking at and for you can tell what parts of a machine have wear problems or are likely to fail. I’ll definitely try it out and get a video on it in the future.
