The technology of the EVION is based on a modular system which is used to build almost versions of the LEXION and TRION. "For the EVION, we are drawing on tried and trusted technology which has proven itself in thousands of machines", Mohr continues. "In order to meet the differing requirements of our customers, the EVION and are available in either CLASSIC or MAXI form, as was the case with the legendary DOMINATOR. All the variants, including the EVION CLASSIC, can be ordered with either the TREND or the BUSINESS equipment line for further individualisation. On top of this, our customers can choose additional options which are independent of the equipment line."
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.
The grain tank integrated behind the cab holds , l in the EVION , , l in the EVION and , l in the top-of-the-range EVION . Sensors alert the operator when the fill level reaches percent and then percent. In addition to this functionality, a large grain tank inspection window gives the operator a direct, comprehensive view of the fill level and grain quality. When it comes to unloading, all three EVION models benefit from the mm diameter of the grain tank unloading tube and the resulting -litre-per-second unloading rate – meaning that offloading can be completed in to . minutes. The -degree pivot angle of the grain tank unloading spout ensures that the operator always has a perfect view of the offloading process. A pivoting grain tank unloading tube spout, as already used in the TRION and LEXION, is available as an option to provide high-precision control of the grain stream directed at the transport vehicle.
With two steering axles, the TERRA TRAC and TRAC steer tightly and precisely with the cab and rear linkage remaining in mid-axle. The steering behaviour is similar to that of standard tractors: steering manoeuvres and turning operations are implement- and driver-friendly with minimal track formation. In addition to the standard steering programme with trailed rear-wheel steering, classic four-wheel steering with simultaneous steering of the front and rear axle is also available, and the TRAC can also be driven in gentle mode (reduced crab steering) for silage clamp work. The DYNAMIC STEERING function available in the standard steering programme halves the number of turns of the steering wheel needed during fieldwork and further reduces the steering torque.
Tailor-made front loaders from the CLAAS range make the ELIOS , ELIOS and AXOS even more versatile. As well as FL front loaders with PCH hydraulic self-levelling linkage, the FL C / and FL E / series with mechanical self-levelling linkage are available for all models. AXOS tractors can also be fitted with the larger FL series (hydraulic self-levelling linkage) and the FL C series (mechanical self-levelling linkage). The front loader brackets are positioned well back, providing stability during heavy work. The robust bolted connection between the front loader bracket, made from high-strength cast steel, and the engine half frame does not compromise the steering lock or ease of maintenance.
