This time, we are going to focus a little more on the power that this range possesses due to a new feature, on all models – from the 115hp Arion 440, and above – Claas Power Management (CPM). This gives a further 10hp power boost for PTO and transport work, which means that with CPM, the new flagship Arion 470 has a maximum power output of 155hp from its four-cylinder engine. This, combined with its greater hydraulic power, gives this particular machine a combination of engine and hydraulic power that is unrivalled in the market.
150L/min hydraulic option
A new load-sensing pump is now available on CIS and CIS+ models that delivers a 150L/min hydraulic output, ensuring more than enough power for loader work, in addition to a 110L/min pump, as before. This is fitted as standard on the Arion 470 and available as an option on all other models. Even at a fuel-saving 1,600rpm, it delivers an output of 110L/min. With two open-centre hydraulic circuits delivering 60L/min and 100L/min, this gives the option of four different pump systems to suit a wide range of applications. Both load-sensing versions also offer increased lift capacity at the rear of 6.25t, an increase of 500kg on previous models.
Loader control
The fully integrated front linkage and factory-fitted front loaders can be conveniently controlled by the multifunction control lever, with the option of controlling the front loader by Electropilot (CIS or CIS+) or Flexpilot. However, the responsiveness of the Electropilot can now be adjusted to suit the driver. And the new automatic front-loader detection system saves having to manually switch hydraulic functions.
Just like its predecessors, the Arion 400 can be configured in diverse ways to suit customer requirements and applications. Proactiv front-axle suspension, mechanical two-point cab suspension and various seating options are available to further increase driver comfort. Both the front and rear linkage and the Claas front loaders are also equipped with vibration damping.
Factory fit GPS
All Stage V Arion 400 tractors can be factory-fitted with a Claas GPS steering system which is controlled via the S7 terminal and shown on the screen. Various RTK correction signals can be selected in addition to Satcor and Omnistar. Auto Turn performs turning manoeuvres at the headland fully automatically when enabled by the driver. With Isobus terminals, it is also possible to control Isobus-enabled implements via an Isobus socket optionally provided at the rear. Up to four freely assignable function buttons offer a level of user friendliness unique in this class and are ideal for use with Isobus.
