Two counter-rotating polyurethane rollers crush the crop gently yet effectively without loss. The conditioner spans the entire width of the mower bed to ensure continuous linear flow without forage bblockages. Optimised crop transfer to the mm wide, extremely robust Kevlar-reinforced cross conveyor belts ensures uniform filling of the AUTO SWATHER belt units. This produces an even, loose and perfectly shaped swath which the harvester following behind can easily pick up and process.

The XERION Series comes with a customisable package for ISOBUS and precision farming applications. Buyers can choose from automatic steering by GPS PILOT with different correction signals, both on- and off-line Task Management, and precision farming applications with Section Control and Variable Rates Application (VRA). All functions for modern, precise and site-specific work are available in conjunction with the -inch CEMIS terminal which uses the familiar CEBIS control concept. With CLAAS connect, new licences or activations can be transferred straight to the terminal online, as can tasks with predefined tracks and application maps from connected farm management information systems (CLAAS API).

During a DLG test in (DLG Test Report ) with two AXION CMATIC tractors with trailed cultivators, CEMOS for Tractors was found to reduce fuel consumption by up to . per cent and increase area output by up to . per cent compared with an experienced field of international drivers. By continuously comparing sensor data on actual ground speed, tractive power, wheel slip, fuel consumption, engine speed and transmission ratio, along with other variables, CEMOS was shown to provide valuable assistance even for expert drivers – so even the best can be even better. Through this process of continuous data synchronisation, the system can precisely identify and quantify optimal operating states and variables during dynamic field work and then, using a dialogue-based interface, suggest ongoing adjustments to the driver. This is what makes CEMOS different from other purely static systems without the self-learning function.

CLAAS Industrietechnik in Paderborn developed new crawler track assemblies with positive drive for the XERION Series to satisfy the most exacting customer requirements in terms of power transmission, soil protection and comfort. Sturdy steering axles with two auxiliary steering cylinders per axle and large drive wheels transfer power gently to the drive belts while simultaneously engaging eight lugs. The two-part frame construction of the crawler tracks enables the two pairs of mid-rollers which are mounted on bogies to adapt to ground contours independently of the main frame. Large rubber blocks between the undercarriage and the main frame of the crawler track assembly effectively buffer bumps and vibrations.

When equipped with dual tyres up to / R, the TRAC version achieves a massive footprint unrivalled in wheeled tractors. In addition to the multi-pass effect, ideal : weight distribution regardless of tank level and combined with the efficient drivetrain with low-engine speed concept ., this reduces fuel consumption by to per cent per hour compared with other tractor concepts in this performance class. Thanks to the large triangular crawler tracks assemblies, the TERRA TRAC version achieves the same level of efficiency with or inch-wide ( or mm) track belts.
