Claas has extended the Arion 500 series with the recent launch of the Arion 570 Cmatic with a powerful four-cylinder engine and a continuously variable, split-power Claas Cmatic transmission is also available in the Night Edition. The 4.5L Stage V engine delivers a maximum output of 180hp without boost. The maximum torque of 730Nm is available at 1,400rpm.
The Arion 570 Cmatic has a reinforced Dana front axle to match its higher output. In addition, the compact, manoeuvrable four-cylinder is available with Trelleborg VF 710/60R38 tyres on the rear axle and VF 600/60 R28 on the front, a combination which effectively converts engine power to tractive power while protecting the soil. The Arion 570 Cmatic also benefits from a 50:50 kerb weight distribution.
It also works with the latest configuration of the Cmatic continuously variable transmission developed and manufactured by Claas Industrietechnik, which boasts two automatically selected drive modes, active powered zero and a top speed of 40km/hr or 50km/hr. Furthermore, the transmission software developed in-house maintains a perfect balance between engine speed and transmission ratio at all times.
Wheel-loader mode is another stand-out feature of this Cmatic transmission, according to the company. When this mode is activated for front loader work, the transmission software uses intelligent torque and engine speed sensor monitoring to prevent the wheels spinning in push mode, for example in the silage clamp or when loading soil or solid manure.
The company says that the Arion 570 Cmatic impresses with its quiet cab with four-point suspension and optimally balanced Proactiv front axle suspension. A Premium operator package with leather steering wheel, air conditioning, Premium seat and electrically adjustable and heated rear view mirrors is available as an option. The advantageous 50:50 kerb weight distribution – despite a 2.56 m wheelbase designed with maximum manoeuvrability in mind – ensures a high degree of suspension comfort without the need for additional ballast as well as ensuring the safe transport of heavy implements and safe and trouble-free use of heavy trailers with a high drawbar load. The front axle is equipped with dry disc brakes as standard to ensure effective, jerk-free deceleration and braking.
