Thanks to four automatically selected drive modes, the transmission works with a high degree of efficiency, transferring power to both axles continuously. In combination with the multi-pass effect and the : weight distribution under traction, power is transferred to the ground without compromise while at the same time ensuring maximum soil protection – regardless of the steering angle. This means that full traction is available even when working on hilly ground or negotiating obstacles.

At medium to high-yield locations in particular, farmers attach great importance to good straw chopping and spreading. This is why, in a first for this class, the EVION is available with an optional -knife straw chopper as an alternative to the standard -knife version. Both shear bar and friction bar can be adjusted without tools while the switchover from chopping to swathing is performed at the right-hand side of the straw discharge hood. The straw guide plates are adjusted manually to the working width so that uniform distribution is ensured even when operating with a cutterbar width of . m. Chaff and short straw are distributed across the working width by optional, hydraulically driven chaff spreaders.

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.

First unveiled at Agritechnica in and awarded a silver medal by the Innovation Commission, until now CEMOS for Tractors has only been available for CLAAS standard tractors with CMATIC continuously variable transmission. But the dialogue-based, self-learning operator assistance and process optimisation system will also be available for the XERION , , , . and . large and system tractors from model year . The system can be retrofitted to existing machines with a CEBIS touchscreen terminal as a software update.

On entering the cab, which is reached via pivoting access steps, you are immediately struck by the spaciousness and the modern control armrest with the ergonomic CMOTION multifunction lever, the clearly laid-out keypad and the CEMIS touchscreen terminal. The -inch CEMIS , which can be adjusted to the position that suits each operator best, has a high-contrast display that allows machine functions to be monitored easily, even in bright sunlight. The ability to call up saved settings for all common threshing crops allows the machine to be deployed quickly and enables easy, time-saving changeovers between grain types. The operator can override the saved settings at any time during harvesting and adjust them in accordance with the prevailing conditions. Further advantages of CEMIS include its ability to store jobs and to record fuel consumption separately for road and field operation as well as in litres per hour and litres per hectare. As CEMIS is a fully-fledged ISOBUS terminal, it can also be used for other tasks with tractors and implements outside the combine harvesting season.
