Crawler tracks will be available on the new generation of Claas Xerion allowing the tractors to adapt to a range of terrains while minimising ground pressure.
Boasting a Stage V engine and next generation operating system, Claas claim the four wheel drive Xerion with continuously variable transmission is on of the most technologically advanced tractors on the market.
Claas Harvest Centre product manager for Claas tractors Shane Barrett said the 762 millimeter track variation is available on the 395 kilowatt (530 horsepower) and 365kW (490hp) models, delivering reliable tractive power in all conditions.
"The 762 mm tracks increase the machine's footprint by 25 per cent compared with the largest single tyre available, yet maintain an external width of less than three metres," he said.
"The pendular suspension system allows the crawler tracks to adapt perfectly to the terrain and ensure a high level of driver comfort in combination with the existing cab suspension."
Mr Barrett said both models incorporated Stage V engines capable of delivering higher torque at lower speeds.
"Operators will also notice that the engine idling speed of these engines has been reduced from 800 to 730 rpm, which will reduce fuel consumption and unnecessary noise," he said.
Mr Barrett said the engines met the standard through the incorporation of a three-way exhaust gas after-treatment system comprising diesel oxidation catalyst, diesel particulate filter and selective catalytic reduction technologies.
"As before, the aftertreatment system is all located under the right hand side of the cab, avoiding the need for an external canister alongside the cab," he said.
"The service interval for the new engines has been doubled to 1000 hours."
Mr Barrett said other technology on the tractors included an automated sensor for oil levels, a multi-function control lever and touch screen operating system.
"The new home screen displays all individually assigned function buttons at a glance," he said.
"Up to 20 different implements can be saved and directly accessed within CEBIS, which also includes a total of 10 different function buttons, which can be freely configured with a range of control functions, depending on operator preference."
