CLAAS introduces new 4X4 tractor
Drew Fletcher discusses the new XERION tractor line at Farm Progress.
One of the many new product introductions at this week’s Farm Progress Show was the new XERION tractor line from CLAAS of America.
According to product manager Drew Fletcher, the XERION line has been upgraded from previous European versions to handle the demands of large-scale American farms.
“The XERION is not just ‘an off the shelf’ product for us. We have worked hard to meet the specs of the North American market,” said Fletcher. “Those changes include improved power transmission, duals rather than singles, a better ladder, enhanced hydraulics, and dozens more. It can help our farmers increase their acreage, better utilize their equipment investment, and complete more work in less time.”
There are three models of XERION to choose from. The XERION 5000 and 4500 both come equipped with 12.8 liter Mercedes-Benz engines, while the 4000 is equipped with a 10.6 liter Mercedes-Benz engine. According to Fletcher, all three models achieve maximum output (530 hp, 490 hp and 435 hp, respectively) at 1700 rpm, meaning that farmers can push hard and still get the fuel efficiency they need.
