CLAAS 237 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Claas 237 is equipped with a NEF F4CE0354A turbocharged 3-cylinder engine, providing a substantial torque of 228.7 lb-ft at a low RPM of 1400, which enhances its pulling capacity for heavy-duty tasks in agricultural settings. With a power output of 79 hp at 2300 RPM, it offers a balance of efficiency and capability, making it suitable for medium-sized farms requiring versatility in various applications, such as tillage or hauling. However, its relatively smaller displacement of 3.4 L might limit performance in more demanding, high-power scenarios where larger tractors would excel.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The Claas 237 tractor features a versatile transmission option with either a 12-speed or 24-speed gearbox, allowing for optimized torque delivery and fuel efficiency during varied agricultural tasks. The 24-speed variant enhances operational flexibility, especially in applications requiring precise speed control, such as seeding or tillage. However, the increased complexity of the 24-speed system may pose a higher maintenance demand, impacting long-term reliability if not properly managed.

12 forward and reverse |
TRANSMISSION 2
The Claas 237 tractor features a 24-speed transmission, which provides a wide range of gear ratios, allowing for optimal performance in diverse field conditions and enhancing fuel efficiency during various tasks. The extensive forward and reverse gears enable precise control and maneuverability, particularly beneficial for tasks requiring frequent direction changes, such as tilling and plowing. However, the complexity of shifting through multiple gears may present a learning curve for operators unfamiliar with multi-speed tractors, requiring adequate training for efficient operation.
