Forest Rebuilding

Forest rebuilding trees tractors agriculture and plants


In mid-June in the Ehra-Lessinen military had launched the new generation of tractors ARION 500/600 from CLAAS. Arion Series 600 is the most successful range of Claas tractors firm, with more than 10,000 units sold



Starting this summer, Arion tractors series 500/600 is a new generation, with seven new models. This new generation, thanks to a diesel particulate filter (DPF) satisfies IIIB emission standards (Tier 4i) and brings many new technological îmbuntăţiri constructive and some like the big brother, AXION 900.

On special demonstration of the qualities of the new series of tractors ARION, I had a unique experience. It was an unusual start in several ways, but mostly because of how unconventional, different from the traditional press conference.

For nearly two weeks, were present on the site daily military base by a group of 25-30 journalists, divided into groups of four or five, have been rotating four workstations. Of these, only one of them I saw a theoretical overview of the differences between the old and new series of tractors Arion with two types of tractors in front.

In another workstation I was able to drive new ARION tractors with trailers loaded on a paved road and dirt road and the tractor alone, polygon to test drive shifting back and forth.

The most demanding workstation was that when I had the opportunity to drive the new ARION with machinery, land and loader. There I had the opportunity to test two types of terminal equipment cabin and CEBIS CIS and GPS systems and TELEMATICS PILOT.

Last post surprise prepared by the organizers, was driving an off-road route, inside the military base special trucks Mercedes-Benz Zetros 1833 and Unimog U5000 models, along with a tractor Arion 530.

I had the opportunity, during the day, effectively ARION series for several hours and in different conditions.



Engine and transmission efficiency

New series ARION 500/600, with seven models include power range between 140 and 184 hp (ECE R 120). New DPS engines used to improve fuel consumption and exhaust emissions with CLAAS POWER SYSTEMS (CPS) provides an optimal combination of components, developed in parallel with the transmission components.

Thus, improved engine performance and emissions, but developed a tractor as a whole, effective in daily activities and the intelligent use of power.

The engine is 4.5 liters per 500 series four-cylinder and 6.8-liter, six-cylinder, the 600 series technology with four valves per cylinder, common rail injection system, variable geometry turbo, TGV and intercooler. System "treatment" exhaust DPF is fully integrated and positioned under the hood, so that the driver's vision is not limited.

Due to low weight and extraordinary agility in operation, four-cylinder tractors 540-510 ARION series are particularly effective when used in low load operation, eg working with loader. Due to the new generation of engines, the new ARION 550, with a maximum power of 163 PS (ECE R 120) is ideal for working with tractor PTO or transport.

The new six-cylinder engine tractors stand out due to a high tensile strength, both in the field and in transport. The new top model, ARION 650, has a maximum power of 184 hp (ECE R 120).
HEXASHIFT transmission of the new ARION is distinguished by high levels of efficiency and many smart features that make this automatic transmission a leader in automatic gear changing comfort.

Transport, ARION four-speed and six-speed mechanical automatic change depending on load, which can be used without the clutch. Stages of change adapts to the load through changing system automatically Hexactiv.

Tractors fitted with systems: Revershift (slight shift electrohydraulic reverse the direction of travel), Speedshift (rapidly changing ranges depending on the load) and Speedmatching (automatic gear shift of stages depending on the load during change of C4 D2).

The high transmission efficiency was confirmed in tests HexaShift DLG (in 2009), where Arion 640 CEBIS had, in terms of fuel consumption and total value, added 3.6% to the average competitor . In the new series, broadcast HexaShift is available in three different versions, including the latest version of Transmission Super ECO 40 kmh at 1650 rpm, interesting mainly for transport. All models ARION 500/600 are equipped with a load sensing hydraulic system with an efficiency of 110 l / min.



Innovations borrowed from AXION 900

Some of the key innovations present in the ARION 500/600 come from the upper range of tractors AXION 900, launched at Agritechnica 2011 and elected "Car of 2012".

These innovations include electronic control VISTRONIC ventilation system, which allows precise adjustment of fan speed, so that the noise power requirements for cooling and, consequently, fuel consumption is greatly reduced. Because gas shock absorbers, radiators cooling unit can be opened quickly and easily for cleaning / changing. The air filter has been moved front, right in front of radiator package, making it very accessible.

The cabin offers generous space with excellent visibility all around, high efficiency, ergonomic, four-point suspension, adjustable steering column and CEBIS version (CEBIS - Electronic OnBoard CLAAS Information System) system multifunction armrest CEBIS terminal CMOTION and fully integrated.

As the above models, the cabin was located further forward and rear window was reconfigured to increase the driver's field of vision. In addition, specially equipped cabin was on the right side, with a door in one piece.

The trim CIS (CIS - CLAAS Information System), Arion is still available with mechanical control units. Function on / off power outlet has been added to CIS armrest and depth adjustment knob has been positioned further forward for easier operation.

Series tractors were prepared optionally Pilot GPS and CLAAS CLAAS TELEMATICS.
ARION has a new intuitive control panel lights and optimization (up to 14 working headlights and optional) that provides 360 ° visibility for the entire workday.

Accessories and equipment modes                                              

New models have CLAAS successful design with a long wheelbase, equal weight distribution on the front and back and a compact overall design. Weight of empty tractor is between 5.8 and 7.8 tonnes.

Thanks to the new design, the maximum allowable total weight up to 12 tons, both versions 40 km / h as well as versions with 50 km / h. For this reason, the new generation ARION - including the smallest model, ARION 530 - was equipped with a stronger rear axle as standard, which allows a higher maximum envelope (eg 710/60 R38).

The frame of the ARION is prefabricated semi-frame, in case you want to equip with hoisting system or loader. Semi-frame is mounted along the engine between the front axle and gearbox and absorbs the forces, but can be used as a coupling system.

Front suspension features that can be completely blocked for greater stability, for example when working with front loader. Optionally can be equipped with a new braking system active. This system come as standard on both models top (ARION 650 and 640).
