CLAAS ARION 520 POWER

Engine 120hp / 89.5kW

ENGINE DETAIL

The Claas Arion 520 features a DPS turbocharged intercooled diesel engine, providing a robust 120 hp at a rated RPM of 2200, with notable torque of 383.5 lb-ft available at a lower RPM of 1650, enhancing its performance in demanding applications. Operating under Tier 3 emissions standards, it offers a balance between power and environmental compliance, but may face challenges regarding regulatory changes as emissions standards evolve. A relatively long oil change interval of 500 hours can reduce maintenance frequency, making it suitable for extended operations in agricultural tasks or heavy-duty applications.
