Narrow width AXION TT track option
by CLAAS UK
A new narrow width track option is now available for the AXION TERRA TRAC that will allow its compaction reducing benefits to be used in row crops.
Since the launch of the AXION TERRA TRAC in 2019, the fullsuspension half-track high horsepower tractors have appealed to more and more farmers and contractors throughout Europe. In addition to heavy and medium-heavy pulling work, e.g. soil cultivation, and thanks to their excellent soil protection, the unique ground contour following with 120mm suspension travel of the drives and the outstanding driving comfort up to 40kph top speed, the tractors also perform far more varied tasks, such as spreading organic and mineral fertilisers on fields and grassland, hauling grain or sugar beet or even the mowing of sensitive grassland. In addition to the current 635mm and 735mm wide rubber belts, CLAAS now offers 457mm/18 inch narrow tracks that are ideal for use in row crops, for example spreading organic fertiliser in crops or working with hoes. These belts are ideal for further reducing soil damage and compaction on fields and grassland, and thanks to the active belt control when steering, there is no surface damage when making tight turns. The 457mm/18 inch narrow tracks as well as the 635mm/25 inch and 735mm/39 inch wide standard tracks can now also be supplied with a 3.00m/120 inch track centre setting in selected markets such as Australia. This makes it possible to work in Controlled Traffic Farming applications and to further improve maneuverability. As a further innovation, the AXION TERRA TRAC can also now be equipped with the CLAAS CTIC tyre inflation system on the front axle. The front tyres are filled using the air compressor for the air brake system.
