Up to 155 hp with CPM
Due to be launched in the UK and Ireland this autumn, CLAAS has equipped its ARION 400 tractors with a range of new performance-enhancing features to mark the introduction of the Stage V emissions standard. Included in the range is a new, more powerful flagship model, the ARION 470, which has a maximum power output of 155hp. As before, the specifications available include low cab or the ground-breaking PANORAMIC cab options, plus either the CIS or CIS+ control systems.
All models are equipped with 4.5 l four-cylinder Fiat Powertrain engines which incorporate the latest 4-valve technology and turbochargers with intercooling. Turbochargers from the ARION 430 upwards are also fitted with a wastegate. The Stage V aftertreatment system cleans the exhaust gases using an effective combination of SCRoF technology (Selected Catalytic Reduction on Filter) and a diesel oxidation catalytic converter (DOC). This means that the engines not only run cleanly, but are still highly efficient, with low diesel and low AdBlue consumption.
Efficient powershift transmission
From the ARION 430 upwards, purchasers will have the choice between the 16x16 QUADRISHIFT or 24x24 HEXASHIFT powershift transmissions. The REVERSHIFT clutchless reverser enables easy direction changing using the shuttle lever on the steering wheel console and optionally also via the multifunction control lever on the right-hand armrest – particularly handy for front loader work.
SMART STOP is another convenient function designed to lighten the workload as it enables the transmission to be automatically disengaged when the brake is pressed, and is re-engaged when the brake pedal is released.
