Introduction
Claas Ares 697 Row-Crop Tractor
The Claas Ares 697 is a row-crop tractor produced between 2005 and 2007. Designed for versatile agricultural operations, it combines a proven John Deere powertrain with Claas engineering to address the needs of modern farming.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a John Deere DPS 6068 liquid-cooled, turbocharged diesel engine. This 6-cylinder unit features a 6.8-liter displacement with a bore and stroke of 4.19x5.00 inches. It provides a rated power of 138.1 hp (103.0 kW) at 2200 RPM, with a maximum net power output of 147 hp (109.6 kW). The engine generates a torque of 433.7 lb-ft at 1500 RPM, ensuring sufficient pulling capacity for field implements.
Transmission and Drivetrain
Equipped with a power shuttle transmission, the Ares 697 offers 24 forward and 24 reverse gears, allowing for precise speed selection and efficient directional changes. The four-wheel-drive system, combined with wet disc brakes and power steering, provides the necessary traction and maneuverability required for row-crop applications.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system utilizes an open-center configuration with a standard pump flow of 15.85 gpm (60.0 lpm) at a pressure of 2900 psi (200.0 bar). An optional PFC system is available to increase flow capacity. The independent rear PTO operates at 540 and 1000 RPM, controlled by a wet disc clutch to manage high-torque implements effectively.
Operator Environment and Dimensions
The operator is housed in a Claas ATZ cab, which includes air conditioning and a suspension system to improve comfort during extended operation. The machine has a wheelbase of 111 inches and a total length of 203.2 inches. Standard agricultural tires are configured as 14.9R28 for the front and 20.8R38 for the rear, supporting a base weight of 12,412 lbs.
