Introduction
Claas Axion 960 Row-Crop Tractor
The Claas Axion 960 is a high-horsepower row-crop tractor introduced in 2018. Designed for large-scale agricultural operations, this machine combines heavy-duty pulling capabilities with advanced transmission technology to manage intensive field work.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by an 8.7-liter, 6-cylinder turbocharged and intercooled diesel engine. It generates a rated gross power of 433.2 hp (323.0 kW) and a maximum gross power of 438.5 hp (327.0 kW). The engine reaches its peak torque of 1371.9 lb-ft (1860.3 Nm) at 1400 RPM, providing the necessary force for heavy draft applications. The unit complies with Tier IV emission standards.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The Axion 960 utilizes the CMATIC continuously variable transmission (CVT). This system provides infinite forward and reverse ratios, allowing the operator to maintain optimal engine speed regardless of travel speed. The machine features a standard four-wheel drive configuration, power steering, and wet disc brakes for reliable control and stopping power.
Hydraulics and PTO
Equipped with a load-sensing hydraulic system, the tractor delivers a standard pump flow of 39.6 gpm (149.9 lpm), with an optional capacity of 58.1 gpm (219.9 lpm). It supports between 3 and 8 hydraulic valves to operate various implements. The independent rear PTO offers 1000 RPM operation, with optional 540E/1000 or 1000E/1000 configurations. A 1000 RPM front PTO is also available as an option.
Dimensions and Hitch
Built on a 124-inch (314 cm) wheelbase with an overall length of 226.1 inches (574 cm), the tractor is designed for stability. The rear hitch is a Category III/IV system, capable of lifting up to 16,954 lbs (7,690 kg) at the link ends, facilitating the use of heavy-duty implements.
Conclusion
The Claas Axion 960 is engineered for professional agricultural operations requiring high power output and precision speed control. Its combination of a high-torque engine, versatile hydraulic system, and robust lifting capacity makes it suitable for demanding row-crop and primary tillage tasks.
