Industry’s Highest Hydraulic Power.
The switch to the new Eccom 5.5 enables higher hydraulic flow than not only just its predecessor, but also competitive brands. With up to six double-acting rear spool valves, a brand new pump transfer gearbox and optional tandem pumps allow an oil flow of up to 111 gallons per minute – more than sufficient hydraulic volume for implements with a particularly high oil flow requirement, such as wide air seeders. Up to two spool valves can be supplied with a high flow rate of 37 gallons per minute with standard load-sensing working hydraulics.
In addition, two spool valves (standard equipment) and three spool valves when equipped with the optional tandem pump can be prioritized in CEBIS. A separate and optimized 120 hp hydraulic system with 66 gallons per minute at 3,770 psi is available for attachments such as manure tanks and front-mounted implements requiring high-horsepower hydraulics. A hydraulic dual-circuit trailer brake can also be supplied for North American customers.
Increasing operator comfort even further, the hydraulics menu in CEBIS has also undergone modifications. At first glance, there is clarity on which feed pump supplies the available control units with oil and what maximum flow rates the control circuits allow. The prioritization and assignment of control units to function keys on the CMOTION joystick can also be done quickly and intuitively.
Intelligent Ballasting And Conveniences.
Also available in model year 2023 units is a new base weight plate for the multi-purpose carrier space behind the cab. Using the intelligent ballast concept with additional 882 Ib. weight plates and ballastable front weight, up to 15,432 Ibs. of additional ballast can be loaded. Depending on the application, the XERION can be optimally balanced for a 50:50 weight distribution under load for maximum multi-pass effect.
Also new is a quick hitch frame enabling a convenient change from Cat 3 to Cat 4/4N. The quick hitch fits the rear linkage of XERION and AXION high-horsepower tractors. Both the new basic weight plate and quick hitch can be used on older XERION tractors up to and including 2014 models.
Success In North America.
The CLAAS XERION has been available in Europe since 1997, and was introduced the North American market in 2014. Since its introduction, hundreds of XERION tractors have found a home on farms throughout key agricultural landscapes and CLAAS dealer locations have taken on the company’s growing tractor lineup, including the AXION 900 and 800 series tractors (200 - 440 hp).
In celebration of its 25th year in production, all model year 2023 XERION tractors will come with a limited edition anniversary sticker at time of delivery to North American customers.
