FS22 - Claas Jaguar 800 Type 493
A downloadable mod
The JAGUAR Type 493 was unveiled in 2001 by Claas as the newest line up of revolutionary forage harvesters. A significant power milestone was passed with 605hp under the hood of the JAGUAR 900. Even the smallest model in the family delivered a highly impressive 321 hp. The proven basic structure and visual design were taken over essentially unchanged from the predecessor family. In 2003, Claas introduced their fastest choppers yet, with the 24mph Speedstars. The legendary GREEN EYE, which launched on the market in 2006, delivered an astounding 623 hp, along with numerous innovations for even greater efficiency and user convenience.
Here's another great medium-sized forage harvester for those of you who want something to slide in between the small pull type choppers and the monstrous basegame harvesters! This mod is very simple in detail and design, but so was the real life machine. For corn headers, the basegame Kemper 345 and 360 are recommended. For pickup and disc headers, the basegame Pickup 300 and Direct Disc 520 are recommended. Each engine configuration on this mod is available as old (2001-05), new (2006-13), or Green Eye.
Another feature of this pack is the pair of harvesters in the store menu. The first one is standard, and the second one is identical, but the pipe is moved with mouse control instead of automatically. This is for those of you who enjoy the added challenge of realistic trailer filling! NOTE: The manual pipe version is possible, but not ideal if you like using hired workers as the AI does not move the pipe as it harvests!

How can i switch the version
You need to remove the old mod file from your folder and make sure the new one is in. I changed the file name, so you'll have to sell your old version chopper in order to get the new one
Well when you turn the lights on the last setting, it literally lights up the whole map at night.
Problem fixed, I missed the problem because of my graphic settings. Update released, thank you for bringing this to my attention!
No problem sir when I had a paid gaming server I would test mods for friends of mine to make sure they are free of errors. Your a good modder, great eye for detail. If you need someone for testing let me know I am available. I am old school player and mod editor, I bought the game in 2009.
Thank you sir. I already have a few testers who help me, but I appreciate the offer in addition to you bringing the missed bugs to my attention. I always strive to do the best with what I can work with.
Anytime Sir
Hello, Skywalker Farms.
Not sure if your'e gonna return to this mod but there's some weird textures apearing in the interrior (not sure if you noticed it) wich apperantly they spell "jaguar". May you fix this issue and also change the top of the cab Jaguar logo from red to gray? (or at least make it optional) I know its just visuals.
Overall the harvester is pretty neat! Keep up the good work!
This mod is one of the first one that will receive an update. There were some textures issues on the interior decals that did not catch my attention in testing because they were invisible for some reason. The update planned for this chopper is fix a lot of issues and even add new features. Thank you for pointing out the cab Jaguar logo too, I almost forgot that needs to be gray!
Hi
Your Jaguar 493 EU edition is great. I have bought a 900 Green Eye with Headland Management and Silage Inoculant.
Unfortunately, there is no way I seem to be able to load Silage Additive. Tried with and without header, left side, right side, back, etc. So either I am doing something wrong or you have an issue with this Inoculant addition not working. And yes, I did specify it to be added when I bought the machine. A colleague had a similar issue and gave up on your 493 as a result.
Btw, I can add silage additive to the standard Claas 960 Terra Trac no problem.

Thank you for making me aware of this, I will look into it. I thought I tested the silage inoculant among the other options before release, but I could be wrong.
