TRANSMISSION

The Claas Axion 860 features a continuously variable CMATIC transmission, offering seamless shifting between infinite forward and reverse gears. This enhances operational efficiency, particularly in applications requiring frequent speed adjustments, such as tillage or seedbed preparation. However, potential challenges include the increased complexity in maintenance and the need for operator training to maximize the transmission's functionality.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES

The Claas Axion 860, with a weight of 23,265 lbs (10,553 kg), offers excellent traction and stability, especially in heavy-duty field applications. This substantial weight can enhance its performance in plowing and tillage, but may also limit maneuverability in tighter spaces or on softer ground where soil compaction is a concern. Operators should consider ballast management to optimize performance depending on specific tasks and soil conditions.
