TRANSMISSION
The Claas Arion 540 features a Hexashift transmission, providing 24 forward and reverse gears, enhancing versatility for various agricultural tasks. The partial power shift with a power shuttle allows for smooth transitions between gears without clutching, which can boost operational efficiency, particularly in demanding field conditions. However, careful management of the transmission is essential to prevent premature wear in high-torque scenarios.
