Additional Notes

  • The Claas Jaguar 494 transmission is a mechanical unit, meaning fluid capacity figures reflect a gear-driven drivetrain rather than a hydrostatic or powershift arrangement.
  • An 18-liter mechanical transmission fluid capacity is a substantial fill volume, consistent with the large-scale drivetrain housings found in full-size forage harvester platforms.
  • All six variants in the Jaguar 930 through 980 range with the 494 header share an identical 18-liter transmission fluid capacity across the 2009-2016 model years, indicating a common transmission housing across the lineup despite differences in machine designation.
  • The capacity figures are specified under normal use conditions, which in agricultural equipment contexts typically refers to standard field operation as opposed to extended heavy-load or extreme-environment duty cycles.
