CLAAS ARION 400 upgraded
The ARION 400 range of tractors from CLAAS have been given a makeover which includes a new top-of-the-range model and CLAAS Power Management (CPM) to boost power in the ARION 440 and above. What's more, this model range now benefits from more hydraulic power, more lift capacity and a higher gross vehicle weight.
CLAAS has equipped its ARION 400 tractors with a range of new performance-enhancing features and the series now includes seven models ranging from 90 to 155hp maximum output. This means that with CPM, the new flagship model, the ARION 470, delivers a maximum output of up to 155 hp and 631Nm maximum torque.
More power for every situation
All models from the smallest ARION 410 right up to the most powerful ARION 470 are equipped with 4.5 l four-cylinder Fiat Powertrain engines which incorporate the latest 4-valve technology and turbochargers with intercooling. Turbochargers from the ARION 430 upwards are also fitted with a wastegate. The new Stage V after-treatment system also cleans the exhaust gases using an effective combination of SCRoF technology (Selected Catalytic Reduction on Filter) and a diesel oxidation catalytic converter or DOC. This means that the engines not only run cleanly, but are still highly efficient, with low diesel and low AdBlue consumption. A fuel tank with a capacity of 140 to 190 litres is enough for long working days.
Taking it up a gear
Customers can choose between two highly efficient transmissions. Firstly, the QUADRISHIFT which is standard on the ARION 410 and ARION 420 offers 16 forward and 16 reverse gears. These are split into four ranges, each with four powershift speeds. The optional HEXASHIFT transmission has six powershift speeds and 24 forward and reverse gears. A creep gear option down to 150m/h is also available for both transmission variants. The HEXASHIFT achieves a top speed of 40km/h at 1840rpm.
SMART STOP it another convenient function designed to lighten the workload. It automatically disengages the transmission when the brake is pressed to bring the tractor to a standstill, and automatically re-engages it in the programmed start-up gear when the brake pedal is released.
Easy to drive
The ARION 400 combines a front wheel steering angle of up to 55 degrees as well as a wheelbase of 2.49m (ARION 410 and ARION 420) or 2.53 m (ARION 430 – ARION 470) with a short overall length. This ensures exceptional manoeuvrability – assisted by a new steering angle-dependent automatic four-wheel-drive and the optional variable steering ratio.
Comfort in the details
Just like its predecessors, the new 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. Furthermore, in addition to the standard high-profile cab with glass roof or transparent sunroof, the ARION 400 can now be configured with a low-profile cab or the ground-breaking PANORAMIC cab as an option.
The standard cab equipment can be upgraded with the CIS and CIS+ packages. Both packages include the 14 functions of the multi-function control lever in the right-hand armrest and a job monitor in the right-hand A-pillar, which in the CIS+ version comes with a high-contrast CIS display as standard. The CIS+ version also features electrohydraulic control circuits. The CLAAS SEQUENCE MANAGEMENT (CSM) headland management system is also included with the CIS+ version.
