A new narrow-width track is available for the Claas Axion Terra Trac that might particularly benefit those working in row crops.

The 457mm-wide option joins the existing 635mm and 735mm rubber belt options, and it can be paired with a controlled tyre inflation system on the front axle. This sees the front tyres filled using the air compressor for the brake system to optimise performance in the field and on the road.

There are two half-track Axion Terra Trac model available – the 355hp Axion 930 and 445hp 960. Both come with a 40kph Cmatic CVT gearbox, 120mm of drive wheel suspension travel and a 22t maximum permissible weight.

Tarranimo integrated into Cemos for tractors

Claas has expanded its Cemos system, the self-learning driver assistance service, with the addition of a Terranimo application on its tractors.

It is based on simulated models developed by several universities and research institutes that calculate the risk of compaction.

These algorithms are combined with any available task information, such as soil type, condition, working depth, attachment, tyre type and ballast.

The Terranimo system then automatically assesses the compaction risk through three soil layers and, via Cemos, provides the driver with ballast and tyre pressure recommendations to minimises the impact on the soil.
