The power output range of the ARION series has been extended upwards and downwards and now stretches from 125 hp in the ARION 510 to 185, or 205 hp in the ARION 660 thanks to CLAAS POWER MANAGEMENT( CPM), which provides a boost of up to 20 hp for transport and PTO work.
All ARION 500 models have a 4- cylinder engine, while the ARION 600 tractors have a 6-cylinder engine throughout. In the ARION 600 models the engine idling speed is automatically reduced from 800 to 650 rpm when the tractor is stationary, delivering additional fuel savings.
All the engines meet the requirements of the Stage IV( Tier 4f) emissions standard thanks to a combination of diesel particulate filter( DPF) and SCR catalytic converter( selective catalytic reduction). Despite the inclusion of an AdBlue tank, the diesel tank capacity has also been increased. www. farmingmonthly. co. uk August 2017 | Farming Monthly | 41
