The threshing drum speed is infinitely adjustable from the CEMIS terminal. A speed range of to , rpm ( – , rpm with reduction kit) can be used in the EVION CLASSIC, while the EVION MAXI with its two-stage belt drives supports speed ranges of to and to , rpm. Concave clearance adjustment is performed hydraulically from the cab and features integrated overload protection provided by a diaphragm accumulator to prevent blockages from occurring in the threshing unit. As the threshing concave in both the CLASSIC and the MAXI versions of the EVION is a MULTICROP unit, conversion measures are only needed rarely, if ever, when switching between common threshing crops. When conversion is required, the concave segments can be swapped out easily through the stone trap. For maize threshing, cover plates can be fitted between the eight rasp bars.
CLAAS has significantly expanded its product range in the compact tractor segment with the addition of three new series. The tractors offer a host of different technical features relating to performance, power transmission, comfort and payload to suit different customer specifications and fields of application. Ranging from a maximum output of to hp, fully mechanical -speed manual transmission to -speed powershift transmission with REVERSHIFT and TWINSHIFT, from -inch rear wheels to -inch large wheels, from a gross vehicle weight of . to . t and from a cab with transmission tunnel to a comfortable command centre with flat cab floor. Development focused on four characteristics in particular: versatility, performance, comfort and reliability. While "reliability" carried equal weight in all three model series, versatility, performance and comfort differed significantly depending on the series.
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.
The XERION has been establishing new fields of application and expanding into new market regions for more than years. The two new more powerful . and . models are designed as highly efficient specialists for the toughest of draught work, such as pulling wide cultivators and seed drills as well as chaser bins. In addition to North America, central Western Europe and South America, the core target markets include countries such as Australia.
The ability to automatically create multiple reference lines per field provides a further efficiency boost. Using recorded or imported field boundaries, A-B lines and contours for different areas and sections of the field can be calculated and saved before cultivating the field. This feature simplifies work in irregularly shaped fields, as several headland sequences and rounded field boundaries can be saved as references in addition to the main working direction.
