Ready for anything.

NEXOS 240/230.

NEXOS 240/230.

Ready for anything.

When it comes to narrow-width tractors, customers are very discerning and their needs are highly specific. Since orchards, operators and implements cannot adapt to the tractor, the tractor itself must offer a particularly extensive range of product types, a broad selection of tyres, many equipment options and, last but not least, excellent performance.

NEXOS F-FB-VL-VE.

The benefits for you.

  • Three variants, F, VL and VE, with outputs of 88 to 101 hp
  • Hydraulic pump capacity of 59 l/min
  • Three transmission variants, optionally with electrohydraulic REVERSHIFT reverser and TWINSHIFT two-stage powershift transmission
  • Front linkage available with optional factory-fitted integrated front PTO

However the tractor is used – lifting, cultivating or transporting produce, PTO or hydraulically driven, in orchards or vineyards – it must be ready for whatever comes it's way. CLAAS developed the NEXOS series with this in mind.
The NEXOS – meets every challenge.

Construction + Design.

The perfect fit.

The basic specification with full mechanical transmission and linkage operation can be further augmented and tailored to your requirements in all NEXOS machines. The REVERSHIFT hydraulic reverser, TWINSHIFT powershift transmission, maximum hydraulic output of 59 l/min, up to four mechanical spool valves, a cab with air-conditioning system and active-carbon filter, and the front linkage and front PTO enhance the flexibility and convenience that are characteristic of NEXOS tractors. Configure your very own NEXOS from our huge range of options, perfectly tailored to your every need.

Engine + Transmission

Outstanding hydraulic performance.

The NEXOS has two hydraulic pumps as standard. The full 59 l/min from one pump is dedicated to the spool valves and rear linkage. The second pump supplies the steering. Your NEXOS can be equipped with up to four mechanical spool valves, including one with flow control. In the top-end model, eight hydraulic connections are available at the rear of the tractor and six for front-mounted implements.

The power within.With a maximum lift capacity of 3.1 t (VE max. 2.6 t) at the ball ends on the rear linkage, the NEXOS can handle a wide range of implements. A hydraulic lift rod and hydraulic side stabilisers are available for the VL and F models, providing high-precision implement guidance, particularly over sloping terrain. The rear linkage in both the cab and platform versions of the NEXOS is available with a mechanical or electrohydraulic TCE 6 operating unit. Whether mechanically or push-button operated, the external controls on the mudguards allow safe, rapid implement attachment.

Combinations.The folding front linkage with integrated front PTO enables various implement combinations to be used and greatly reduces the number of passes. Combined operations save time and costs and boost efficiency.

Engine.

A powerful combination.

Both engines meet the stringent requirements of the Stage IIIA (Tier 3) exhaust emissions standard, using internal exhaust gas recirculation, turbochargers, charge-air coolers and mechanical fuel injection. The high-torque engines exhibit extremely lively response characteristics, enabling the tractor’s full output to be harnessed in all applications.

The right speed for the job.A range of PTO speeds is available to ensure that you can access the right engine speed for every job. Maximum PTO speeds are reached at a fuel-efficient, high-torque engine speed of 1,950 rpm. In 540 ECO mode, the full PTO speed is available at 1,650 engine rpm, reducing fuel consumption during light work such as fertiliser spreading.
Regardless of the implement – for example, a fertiliser spreader or mulcher – the PTO is always engaged very gently, with either hydraulic or electrohydraulic support.

Choice of four transmission variants.

The 24 gears deliver the ideal speed in all types of operation; for instance, a minimum speed of 340 m/h is possible at rated engine speed. The TWINSHIFT power transmission enables each gear to be selected effortlessly via a push button on the gear knob and without interrupting tractive output or engaging the clutch. All NEXOS transmissions have been engineered to minimise power losses, meaning you benefit from maximum efficiency and reduced fuel consumption.

The all-wheel drive is push-button activated and electrohydraulically engaged. To avoid unnecessary tyre wear, the all-wheel drive is automatically engaged and disengaged at over 14 km/h. It is also automatically engaged when braking to ensure a higher standard of safety on the road. This means that your NEXOS can be safely brought to a standstill at any time.

With REVERSHIFT, you can forget about the clutch pedal.1 REVERSHIFT lever for rapid and comfortable turning manoeuvres, particularly at headlands or when stacking boxes.

2 Clutch button on the shift lever for effortless gear changing.

Fresh air.The cab air filter is easily accessible from the exterior and can be cleaned very quickly to ensure an ongoing supply of fresh air to the cab. All the materials used in the cab are highly robust, dirt-resistant and easy to clean.

Ready in an instant.When the NEXOS is called upon to give its all in hot, dusty conditions in narrow rows or orchards, everything needs to be right. Daily maintenance work must be as straightforward as possible, since we know from experience that nobody likes having to face complicated or awkward tasks.

Thanks to its one-piece bonnet, the entire engine compartment can be accessed at the flick of a catch. The air filter is directly accessible, allowing it to be quickly checked and cleaned. The radiator slides out, and the air filter can be removed in no time at all. When required, radiator surfaces can be cleaned quickly and easily, reducing downtime to the absolute minimum.

Easy to maintain.The NEXOS boasts particularly long maintenance intervals. 500-hour engine oil change intervals reduce downtime and costs. The hinged opening in the bonnet is also extremely convenient and enables the fuel tank to be accessed and filled with ease.

Cab + Comfort.

Relax while you work.

The NEXOS boasts an outstanding all-round view thanks to extensive glazing. The large curved window at the rear of the cab in particular offers an unrestricted view of the attachment and working area. The ergonomic arrangement of the controls and the clear logic of their allocated functions enables the NEXOS to be operated comfortably and effortlessly throughout long working days. The instrument panel provides clear and concise information about the operating status of the NEXOS, including vehicle speed, engine speed and rear PTO speed, so you know what's happening all the time.

A safe and comfortable ride.With a choice of cab or platform, the NEXOS is highly versatile in the field. Large, wide-opening doors and a non-slip step make access to the vehicle safe and convenient. The front and rear windows can be opened for natural ventilation, and the powerful air-conditioning unit creates a cool working environment in hot and dusty conditions.

An active carbon filter can be factory-fitted to protect the operator during crop spraying operations. Together with a well-sealed cab and powerful ventilation system, the filter ensures that the driver is well protected even during intensive crop spraying work.

An air-sprung driver's seat is optionally available for both cab and platform versions. The steering column is fully adjustable to ensure a comfortable seating position for the driver.
