High-horse-power tractor technology now also available for the ARION 400 model range

As of now, tractors in the CLAAS ARION 400 model range will be available with valuable technical solutions previously only available in CLAAS high-horse-power tractors.

These include the proven HEXASHIFT transmission, CSM headland management and TELEMATICS. The newly developed dynamic steering system is also available as an additional option for ARION 400 tractors.

​

The ARION 400 models are ideal universal tractors for use with any operation thanks to their compact design and an engine range from 90 to 140 HP. With the expanded variety of configurations, farmers will now be able to undertake tasks such as soil cultivation, forage work, transport or using a front loader with even greater ease.

Optimised work solution with HEXASHIFT transmission and CSM headland management

​

Two transmission variants are now available for ARION 460 to 430 models: the existing QUADRISHIFT and now the HEXASHIFT transmission. The HEXASHIFT transmission can be used on the road at a lower engine rpm with four automated ranges and six power-shift stages. This means less driving noise for the driver and a lower diesel consumption. The six power-shift stages allow for a large gear overlap, so that the optimum rpm and driving speed can be selected for each application. All 24 gears can be conveniently changed using the multifunctional lever, without having to use the clutch pedal. The driver also has the option to completely leave the tractor to automatically change gear by selecting the HEXACTIV power-shift mode.

​

Another newly released option for the ARION 400 model range is the proven CSM headland management system (CLAAS SEQUENCE MANAGEMENT), which is available with CIS colour display. Several tractor functions can be saved as operating sequences with this system, such as electronic control units, power lift, engine rpm and p.t.o. shaft. The operation is very simple and relieves the workload on the driver, especially when it comes to complex driving manoeuvres, which usually require numerous operating steps. A total of 4 headland sequences with up to 200 steps can be saved, which can be activated using the CSM operating panel in the right side console or the multifunction lever.
