The AXION 900.
Ten successful years on the market speak for themselves: in a very short time, CLAAS has become established throughout Europe as one of the leading tractor manufacturers. In 2011 CLAAS added the AXION 900 to its family of large tractors delivering over 400 hp. With its enormous pulling power, ease of operation and wealth of intelligent systems, the AXION 900 opens up great potential in many highly demanding applications and has quickly become a standard feature of the range.
Optimal drive for best results.
The CLAAS machinery development programme constantly strives to maximise efficiency, improve reliability and optimise cost-effectiveness. CLAAS POWER SYSTEMS (CPS) bring together top-quality components to create a drive system that sets new standards – and always delivers maximum power when it is needed. CPS is ideally matched to the working system, featuring fuel-saving technology that quickly pays for itself.
Strong at heart.
A 6-cylinder, 8.7 l FPT (Fiat Power Train) Cursor 9 engine gets to work under a one-piece bonnet. The engine meets the requirements of the Stage IIIB (Tier 4i) emissions standard by means of exhaust aftertreatment with urea, and uses the latest common rail 4-valve technology, charge-air cooling and a wastegate turbocharger.
Visctronic – economical fan control.
With Visctronic electronic fan control the fan speed can be precisely aligned with engine temperature and load, directly linked to the engine ECU, ensuring that the engine always runs at the optimum temperature. The reduced fan speed lowers the noise level and saves valuable fuel with no unnecessary impact on output, which can then be converted into tractive power.
Constant output.
The CLAAS-specific engine performance curve provides full torque in a wide engine speed range, guaranteeing constant output and power delivery when they are needed. This makes it easy to save fuel while working at a low engine speed and maximum torque with the ECO PTO, or to work at rated speed with a full reserve.
Full potential in any situation.
The multiple uses of a tractor in this class demand full potential in every speed range. The AXION's power is always available, even from a standing start. And the ECO PTO is designed to work at full torque and maximum output.
Greatest pollutant reduction of all time.
There is no doubt that the introduction of the Stage IIIB (Tier 4i) emission regulations is the most important step to date in the control of pollutant emissions. These regulations require a 90% reduction in particulate matter (PM) as well as a 50% cut in nitrogen oxide (NOx) content. The implementation of Stage IV (Tier 4) by 2015 will bring a further reduction in PM and (NOx) emissions to almost zero.
Fully integrated SCR system.
When designing the AXION 900, all the components required for exhaust aftertreatment were considered from the outset. This means that full visibility and accessibility are guaranteed. The SCR catalytic converter is safely housed under the bonnet where it receives a constant flow of cooling air.
Power and endurance.
All AXION 900 models can be specified with massive 2.15 m diameter rear tyres. Tyres up to 1.70 m diameter are used on the front axle. The numerous tyre options make the AXION 900 capable of any type of work. Even with the biggest tyres (900/60 R 42) the tractor has an external width of less than 3.0 m, making it flexible on the road and gentle on the field.
