Introduction
Claas Axion 940 Row-Crop Tractor
The Claas Axion 940 is a high-horsepower row-crop tractor introduced in 2011. Designed for large-scale agricultural operations, it integrates high-capacity power systems with a continuously variable transmission to manage demanding fieldwork requirements.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by an FPT 6-cylinder turbocharged and intercooled diesel engine with a displacement of 8.7 liters. It delivers a rated gross power of 378.2 hp (282.0 kW) at 2150 RPM. The engine features a liquid-cooling system and is compliant with Tier IV emission standards. It produces a substantial torque of 1143.2 lb-ft (1550.2 Nm) at 1600 RPM, providing the necessary force for heavy-duty pulling tasks.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The Axion 940 utilizes the CMATIC continuously variable transmission (CVT), which offers infinite forward and reverse speeds without traditional gear steps. This system allows for precise speed control tailored to specific field conditions. The tractor is equipped with four-wheel drive, power steering, and wet disc brakes to ensure traction, maneuverability, and reliable stopping power.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system is of the load-sensing type, designed to optimize oil flow according to demand. The standard pump flow rate is 39.6 gpm (149.9 lpm), with an optional capacity of up to 58.1 gpm (219.9 lpm). The rear hitch is a category III/IV system with a lift capacity of 16,954 lbs (7,690 kg) at the ends, allowing for the attachment of heavy implements.
Dimensions and Operator Environment
The machine rests on a 124-inch (314 cm) wheelbase and has an overall length of 220.1 inches (559 cm). The standard agricultural tire configuration features 620/75R30 front tires and 710/85R38 rear tires. The operator works from a standard cab equipped with air-conditioning, designed to maintain comfort during extended operation periods.
Conclusion
The Claas Axion 940 is engineered for professional row-crop applications requiring significant power and high-precision speed management. Its combination of a high-torque FPT engine and a CMATIC transmission makes it suitable for heavy cultivation, deep tillage, and large-scale hauling operations.
