CLAAS will introduce a new automatic tyre inflation system across its AXION and ARION series of tractors.
CLAAS has announced it will introduce a new automatic tyre inflation system across its AXION and ARION series of tractors.
Offering an air delivery rate of up to 2800 L/min via an auxiliary compressor, CLAAS claims the system can adjust the tyre pressure in 600/70 R28 and 710/70 R38 tyres from 0.8 bar (12 psi) to 1.8 bar (26 psi) in less than 80 seconds.
Available as a factory fit option for all AXION 900 Stage V tractors, the CTIC or CTIC 2800 inflation systems can also be retrofitted to existing ARION 900/800 and ARION 600/500 series machines, regardless of their year of manufacture. The system can be controlled via any ISOBUS terminal, such as the CLAAS S10 or the new CLAAS CEMIS 700.
“The operator can switch between field and road pressure at the touch of a button using one of the function keys in the operating armrest or on the CMOTION control lever,” explains CLAAS Harvest Centre product manager Luke Wheeler.
Based on ‘dialogue’, at the start of a job, the driver enters a range of information – such as soil humidity, soil type and working depth. As well as machine data, such as tractor tyres and front, rear or wheel ballast and implement data into the CEBIS touchscreen terminal.
The system then recommends the best pressure for the front and rear tyres to reduce wheel slip, ground damage and diesel consumption.
At a time when many businesses are taking a cautious investment approach, Landpower continues to back its customers, having officially opened the doors to its new CLAAS Harvest Centre dealership in Feilding, marking a significant investment in the future of agriculture across the lower North Island.
Twin rotor swathers have become the ‘go-to’ for forming swaths to feed hungry harvesters and balers, however, the design layout often means that crop located between the two rotors is not picked up, turned over or incorporated into the swath formed for subsequent harvesting.
Fifty Eight years ago, on the 16th of August 1968, August Claas, the founder of the harvesting company and father of Helmut Claas, personally presented a Claas Senator combine harvester to Scottish farmer John Steven.
Scheduled to replace its Axion 800 series, Claas has released details of the new, three model, Axion 8 CMATIC range.
Following the €1.6 million investment in a prototype workshop in early 2025, Claas has invested an additional €3.3 million at its Metz-Woippy baler production plant to increase production capacity.
