Claas has expanded its Arion 500 range with the addition of the new Arion 570 Cmatic which becomes its most powerful four-pot model to date.
The 180hp tractor, and it is always 180hp without any boost facility, uses a similar 4.5-litre, four-cylinder DPS engine as its lower-powered siblings but with different injectors, fuelling and engine management as well as a larger cooling pack. Like all Claas tractors it can use HVO biodiesel.
At the front a heavier-duty Dana D50 suspended front axle has been specified to cope with the more powerful tractor’s anticipated higher demands. The transmission and rear axle remain the same as on the smaller Arion 500s.
Tyre equipment is also uprated, taking a 1.95m rear tyre rather than a 1.85m of the smaller models, which means that a VF 710/60 R38 can be fitted at the rear and VF 600/60 R28 at the front. A bar axle can also be specified in place of the standard flange type.
Like the flagship six-cylinder (Arion 660), the Arion 570 is a high-spec only tractor with the Cmatic continuously variable transmission, Cebis terminal with 12” screen and electronic spool valves as standard. To take creature comforts further it will also be available as a Night Edition model.
This introduction further extends the overlap between the four- and six-cylinder Arion models, but is aimed squarely at the four-pot jack of all trades category, that is satisfying the steadily increasing demand for powerful yet agile and compact tractors.
The Arion 570 is expected to land in late spring.
