Recently, an AXION 930 TT was put to the test against competitive tracked machines, where track heat, turning ability and operator comfort were measured. The unique machine offered clear advantages against some strong competitors in every category. See our latest competitive comparison video or read more to learn why the AXION 900 TT is the right choice for your farm.

Turning Ability

The CLAAS AXION 930 TT was less destructive to the soil while turning than the competition.

The front wheels working together with the TERRA TRAC system designed specifically for the AXION tractor bring a more positive outcome when it comes to turning at the headlands. Producing minimal berming and soil disturbance compared to that of a two-track tractor, plant emergence can increase. This coupled with 25% less ground pressure than a standard wheeled AXION, ensures healthier soil for the longterm.

Why?

Even during tight turning maneuvers at the edge of the field, the tracks do not slide – so the soil remains level with little disturbance. The TERRA TRAC is also shorter than a two-track system, plus, standard on every AXION TT tractor, brake assisted steering is integrated into the existing machine brakes for a seamless turning experience.

Track heat.

The CLAAS AXION 930 TT generated up to 20% less heat-build up than tractors with a positive drive track concept.

Temperature readings were taken after each tractor drove on pavement for 10 minutes. The process was replicated after 20 minutes, and finally at 30 minutes. After half an hour, the tracks on the Case IH Magnum Rowtrac were 20% hotter than the CLAAS AXION 930 TT, and temperature readings on the John Deere 8RX also showed significantly more heat build-up.

Why?

The TERRA TRAC concept encompasses a friction drive design, bending the tracks at two points. Compare this to a positive drive concept with three bends, equipped on competitive machines like the Case IH Magnum Rowtrack and John Deere 8RX. Heat-build up can contribute to lowering the life of your tracks - adding expensive unanticipated costs to general tractor maintenance.

Operator comfort.

An accelerometer showed the CLAAS AXION 930TT operator experienced less movement in the cab.

An accelerometer was placed under the operator's seat to capture axis movements in the cab. Results were analyzed visually through Pico Technology software. The flatter the lines, the less distance movement is being recorded. The thinner the lines, the less force movement is being recorded. The AXION 930TT proved to be consistently flatter and thinner in all axis movements.

Why?

Four suspension points fully isolates the cab from the chassis, preventing impacts and vibrations from reaching the operator. Coupled with a fully-suspended track system that’s designed to keep constant ground contact, the driver’s comfortability significantly increases compared to competitive brands.

To all of you who have worked so hard this year, here’s to a bountiful harvest!

On September 21, CLAAS Territory Manager, Matt Smith, and Nebraska Harvest Center Sales Representative, Jason Coufal, made the trip to Doug’s farm just outside of Wahoo to deliver the good news. “We called Doug before arriving and he said he was having a bad day. He was harvesting corn while still irrigating his soybeans that had been hit by drought,” said Smith. “We told him we had some news that might turn his day around."

Shortly after the call, the three met at Doug’s farm and Coufal presented him with a certificate that awarded him the $10,000 of farm diesel. Doug was ecstatic about the news and thankful for the award. We hope the free fuel made his day just a little better.
