Claas Arion 460: Technical Specifications and Overview

The Claas Arion 460 is a row-crop tractor produced between 2014 and 2024. Designed for versatility in agricultural operations, it features a four-cylinder FPT engine and is engineered for tasks requiring a balance of power and maneuverability.

Engine and Performance

The tractor is powered by a 4.5-liter, 4-cylinder turbocharged and intercooled diesel engine from FPT. It utilizes a common rail fuel system and meets Stage IV emission standards through a combination of Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR). The engine delivers a rated power of 135 hp (100.7 kW) at 2200 RPM, with a maximum gross power of 140 hp (104.4 kW) and a peak torque of 570.1 Nm at 1400 RPM.

Transmission and Drivetrain

The Arion 460 is equipped with the Quadrishift transmission, providing 16 forward and 16 reverse gears. This system features four power shift gears across four hydraulically shifted ranges, managed by a power shuttle. An optional Quadractiv automatic shifting system is available to assist the operator. The drivetrain includes a standard four-wheel drive system and an electro-hydraulic differential lock to ensure traction in varied field conditions.

Hydraulics and PTO

The hydraulic system is of the open-center type, delivering a pump flow of 15.85 gpm (60.0 lpm) at a pressure of 2756 psi. Optional configurations include a load-sensing system providing up to 29.1 gpm (110.1 lpm). The rear PTO is independent, offering speeds of 540/540E/1000, while an optional independent front PTO provides 1000 RPM. A wet disc clutch is utilized for smooth engagement.

Hitch and Capacity

The tractor is fitted with a Category III rear hitch, capable of lifting up to 9,259 lbs (4,199 kg) at the ends. The optional front hitch provides a lift capacity of 6,173 lbs (2,800 kg). With a wheelbase of 99.4 inches and an operating weight of 11,240 lbs, the machine is designed to handle a variety of heavy implements while maintaining stability.

Conclusion

The Claas Arion 460 serves as a capable utility tractor for modern farming, offering flexible hydraulic and PTO options, a reliable powershift transmission, and a durable engine platform. It is suited for producers requiring a mid-range tractor capable of both heavy draft work and specialized row-crop applications.
