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 ground drive is provided by a -speed, manually shifted hydrostatic drive. A choice of top speeds – , or km/h – is available. For the MAXI version, an electrically engageable differential lock is available for the front wheels which have a diameter of up to . m. For the rear axle, customers have a choice of wheels with a diameter of . m or, for maximum soil protection, as much as . m.
Common to all three EVION models is the .-litre Cummins B. engine which meets the Stage V emission standard. This is the same common-rail six-cylinder unit used in the TRION and is notable for its ability to deliver high torque at low revs. The full rated output of (EVION ), (EVION ) and hp (EVION ) is available at just , rpm, while the idle speed is a low rpm (, rpm with active hydraulic functions). DYNAMIC POWER engine management ensures that the engine only delivers as much power as is actually required at any time. This system can reduce fuel consumption by up to percent. When the grain tank unloading system is active, the highest output level is enabled automatically.
One of the new functions of the GPS PILOT CEMIS is the automatic creation of multiple different reference lines within one field. 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 reference lines in addition to the main working direction. When the driver switches to a different section of the field, they simply activate the reference line for the relevant segment and then resume work straight away with maximum precision.
CLAAS has launched the two most powerful belt grouper mowers on the market for tractors up to hp – the DISCO C AUTO SWATHER and DISCO RC AUTO SWATHER. These mowers have been specifically developed for harvesting lucerne, whole-crop silage and winter forage alongside traditional grass crops, with the focus on maximum yields and forage volumes. The harvested crop is gently and effectively crushed without loss by two counter-rotating polyurethane rollers. Furthermore, the conditioner extends across the entire width of the mower bed to avoid any forage jams.
