Additional Notes

  • The Claas Jaguar 494 series spans six model variants — the 930, 940, 950, 960, 970, and 980 — all sharing the same rear differential fluid capacity specification for the 2009-2016 production period.
  • Each variant in the 494 series carries a rear differential fluid capacity of 12.5 liters, a volume consistent with the large-scale axle and drivetrain assemblies found in self-propelled forage harvesters of this class.
  • A 12.5-liter differential capacity is notably substantial compared to typical agricultural tractors, reflecting the heavy-duty rear axle demands of a machine designed for continuous high-load harvesting operations.
  • All six variants — Jaguar 930 through 980 — share an identical 12.5-liter rear differential capacity, indicating a common rear axle assembly is used across the full power range of the 494 series despite differences in engine output between the lower and higher numbered models.
  • The capacity figures listed apply under normal use conditions, meaning standard field harvesting operation rather than any elevated-demand or severe-duty classification.
