Typical Horsepower Range:
Axion 810: approx. 213 hp (rated) / 233 hp (max), Axion 820: approx. 231 hp (rated) / 251 hp (max), Axion 840: approx. 256 hp (rated) / 276 hp (max) (Note: Exact horsepower varies by specific model year and emission standard). Peak torque figures are also significant for heavy draft work.
Fuel Type And Injection:
Diesel, typically Common Rail Direct Injection (CRDI) system, often with turbocharging and intercooling for enhanced performance and efficiency. Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems present on later emission-compliant models.
Emission Control Technology:
Depending on model year: Stage IIIA, Tier 3, Tier 4 Interim, or Tier 4 Final / Stage IV emission standards, incorporating technologies like EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation), DPF, and SCR with AdBlue injection.
Cooling Type:
Liquid-cooled, pressurized system with a radiator, fan (often variable speed or electronically controlled), coolant reservoir, and thermostat.
Lubrication Type:
Pressurized wet sump system with an oil pump, oil filter, and oil cooler (integrated with the radiator or separate).
Transmission Type:
CMATIC continuously variable transmission (CVT). This is a core technology featuring hydrostatic and mechanical power splitting for seamless speed adjustments and optimal engine RPM management.
Cmatic Features:
Provides infinite speed ratios without fixed gears, allowing for precise speed control (e.g., for seeding or spraying), engine load optimization, fuel efficiency, and smooth power delivery. Includes modes for automatic speed control, cruise control, and power management.
Transmission Fluid Specification:
Requires specialized tractor transmission fluid (TFF) or hydraulic fluid that meets specific OEM specifications (e.g., Claas or Renault internal specs, often equivalent to John Deere J20C/J20D or similar). Exact specification is critical and detailed in the manual.
Transmission Control Interface:
Lever or joystick control for speed adjustment and direction changes, integrated with the main touchscreen display for mode selection and parameter setting.
Wheelbase And Length:
Dimensions vary by specific Axion model but generally feature a robust frame and cab structure designed for heavy field operations. Wheelbase is substantial for stability. Exact measurements would be found in the manual, e.g., around 2.8-3.0 meters wheelbase.
Overall Width And Height:
Width typically around 2.5 meters (without mirrors/accessories) and height around 3.0-3.2 meters to the top of the cab, depending on tire size and chassis configuration.
Operating Weight:
Operating weights (without ballast) typically range from approximately 7,000 kg to 8,500 kg, depending on configuration, engine, and cab options. Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) can be significantly higher with ballast and implements.
Active Safety Features:
Advanced braking systems, power steering, differential locks (front and rear axle), stability control systems (integrated with transmission and hydraulics), robust lighting for visibility, and operator presence detection.
Passive Safety Features:
ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structure) certified cab, seatbelts, emergency stop functions, high-visibility paint schemes, and secure operator cabin entry/exit.
Lighting Systems:
Comprehensive lighting including road lighting, work lights (front, rear, and fender mounted), and warning lights for enhanced visibility in all operating conditions.
Infotainment And Controls
Operator Interface:
Features an advanced operator interface, often including a central touchscreen display (e.g., CLAAS OPERATOR TERMINAL) for managing tractor functions, hydraulics, PTO, transmission settings (CMATIC), and implement control (e.g., ISOBUS compatibility). Ergonomically designed control console.
Telematics Readiness:
Many models are equipped with or prepared for telematics systems (e.g., CLAAS TELEMATICS) for remote machine monitoring, data logging, diagnostics, and fleet management.
Automation Features:
Includes features like automatic PTO engagement, electronic draft control for the 3-point hitch, programmable hydraulic spool valves, and often pre-programmable headland management sequences. Advanced versions may support GPS guidance and section control for implements.
Isobus Compatibility:
High likelihood of ISOBUS compatibility, allowing seamless integration and control of a wide range of compatible implements from the tractor's cab interface, enhancing operational efficiency and data management.
Engine Oil And Filter Interval:
Typically every 500 hours or annually, whichever comes first. Specific intervals for oil changes, fuel filters, air filters, hydraulic filters, and transmission fluid depend on operating conditions and are detailed in the manual.
Hydraulic System Filter Interval:
Typically every 1000-1500 operating hours, or as indicated by system pressure monitoring or fluid analysis. Replacement is crucial for transmission and hydraulic component longevity.
Engine Oil Specification:
Requires high-quality engine oil meeting API CJ-4 or ACEA E9 specifications (for Tier 4 Interim/Final) or earlier specifications like API CI-4 or ACEA E7 for older models. Viscosity grade typically 10W-40 or 15W-40, depending on ambient temperature and manufacturer recommendation.
Coolant Specification:
A mixture of antifreeze and demineralized water (typically 50/50) to provide freeze protection and corrosion inhibition. Must meet OEM specifications (e.g., G12/G13 or equivalent).
Hydraulic Fluid Specification:
Often requires a universal tractor hydraulic fluid (UTHF) or a specific Claas fluid meeting standards like ISO 15388 or similar, suitable for transmissions, differentials, wet brakes, and hydraulic systems. Fluid capacity is substantial, often exceeding 80-100 liters.
Grease Points:
Numerous lubrication points including pivot pins, steering components, PTO shaft, hitch linkages, and wheel hubs. The manual will provide a detailed lubrication chart with recommended grease types (e.g., Lithium complex EP2 grease).
Common Wear Items:
As with any heavy machinery, common wear items include hydraulic filters, fuel filters, air filters, cab air filters, tires, and potentially clutch packs or seals in high-hour units. CMATIC transmission requires specific attention to fluid quality and potential sensor issues if not maintained.
Preventive Maintenance Focus:
Crucial areas for preventive maintenance include regular inspection of all hydraulic lines and connections, electrical connectors, tire pressure, and ensuring the cooling system and air intake are kept clean to maintain optimal performance and longevity.
Claaas Heritage:
Claas is a renowned German manufacturer of agricultural machinery, globally recognized for its combines, forage harvesters, and increasingly, its tractors. The acquisition of Renault's agricultural division in 2003 allowed Claas to expand its tractor portfolio significantly.
Axion Development:
The Axion series represents Claas's continuation and refinement of the tractors originally developed by Renault Agriculture. It integrates Claas's expertise in electronics, hydraulics, and user interface design with the proven chassis and driveline architectures. The CMATIC transmission was a key development in this range, bringing advanced CVT technology to a wider range of applications.
Manufacturing Location:
Originally Renault models were manufactured in France. Claas tractors, including the Axion range, are primarily manufactured at Claas's tractor plant in Le Mans, France, and other Claas facilities globally.
Industry Accolades:
While specific awards for these exact models within this series might not be readily available without deep historical research, Claas tractors generally receive positive recognition for innovation, reliability, and operator comfort from agricultural machinery publications and organizations. The CMATIC transmission itself has been a significant technological advancement in the sector.
