Claas premiered its award winning AXION 9 CMATIC tractor at Agritechnica, after its AXION 9.450 TERRA TRAC scooped the High Power category in the Tractor of the Year Awards.
Claas claims the five wheeled and two TERRA TRAC crawler tractors set new standards in comfort, automation and connectivity, specifically developed to improve performance and efficiency for large farms and contractors.
Revised hardware such as the engine, transmission and axles, as well as TERRA TRAC running gear, have been combined with a completely newly developed cab with a noise reduction of up to 66 dB(A) and a volume of three cubic metres
Further refinements include a new electronic infrastructure and new, intelligent assistance systems up to Level 2 Autonomy. The adaptive, predictive drivetrain management of the continuously variable CMATIC transmission with Auto Load Anticipation – a self-learning algorithm – increases driving comfort, productivity and efficiency. Thanks to extended maintenance intervals, service times and costs for users are also significantly reduced.
“When developing the series, we listened more than ever to the wishes and expectations of farmers and contractors,” explains Dr Martin von Hoyningen-Huene, CLAAS chief technology officer. “The tractor uniquely combines several of our core development competencies, such as soil-conserving chassis technologies and continuously variable power-split transmissions.”
Highly versatile
Claas states the AXION TERRA TRAC combines the advantages of conventional standard tractors and those of crawler tractors, without any of the disadvantages. The large, ground-protecting contact area gives this large tractor unique versatility and enables it to be used all year round.
With up to 450 hp, the AXION 9 TERRA TRAC engine power is a logical further development with the latest electronic infrastructure, premium driving comfort, cloud connectivity in CLAAS connect and automated workflows up to Level 2 Autonomy with the AgXeed VCU (Vehicle Control Unit).
