ARION 430-410.

One for all.

Up to 10 hp additional output is developed under the following conditions:

• Transmission in range C or D (C1 = 6 km/h at 1400 rpm)
• If hydraulic output is decreasing
• If PTO output is decreasing
• If the viscous fan is activated

• Output from 90 to 125 hp to ECE R 24 standard
• Complies with emission standard Stage IIIa (Tier 3)
• Common rail technology
• Internal exhaust gas recirculation
• Turbocharger with intercooler
• CPM CLAAS POWER MANAGEMENT

With the QUADRISHIFT transmission you can drive your ARION 400 within the four powershift speeds without cutting the power flow and can optimally match your forward speed to the conditions on the ground. On the road or around the farm, you can comfortably select any one of four hydraulically selected ranges without having to use the clutch. The perfect combination of ease of operation, efficiency and versatility in this performance class: the ARION 400.

1. 4 hydraulically controlled ranges
2. QUADRISHIFT 4 powershift speeds
3. REVERSHIFT clutchless reverser

16 gears at the push of a button.

• No more range shifting with the clutch and gear lever
• REVERSHIFT for smooth turning manoeuvres
• Nine gears in the main operating range
• Easy and comfortable operation with the shift lever or cross-command joystick
• Excellent efficiency in the field and on the road for low fuel consumption
• CLAAS power train management for smooth changes in range and powershift operations
• Automatic speed matching:
• Fully automatic gear shifting with QUADRACTIV

The ARION 400 drives comfortably and safely, just the way you want it to. There won't be any unwelcome surprises, because you can choose all the settings so that they meet your needs perfectly. In addition, the automatic mode optimises the tractor's productivity and fuel consumption.

With QUADRACTIV you can concentrate on the essentials and leave your right hand free for other tasks. If necessary, drivers can intervene at any time using the +/– buttons.

• Driving mode: field or road
• QUADRACTIV automatic gear shifting: fully automatic mode or rev band shifting point according to driver preference
• Start-up gear when starting the engine
• Start-up gear with QUADRACTIV activated
• Progressive REVERSHIFT
• Disengagement of forward/reverse ratio

Negotiating low barn entrances, shifting straw bales, pulling and lifting heavy tillage implements – this is where the compact and intelligent design of the ARION 400 really comes into its own.

An extended wheelbase and short overall length give the ARION 400 the crucial advantage of enormous manoeuvrability. It maintains this manoeuvrability with or without the CLAAS front linkage and front loader as the tractor was designed with these options in mind.

This makes the tractor extremely versatile and effective under any conditions – any time, anywhere.

Benefits of the long wheelbase and ideal weight distribution.

• Excellent stability with front loader or rear-mounted implements
• More effective four-wheel drive for greater tractive power
• Little extra ballasting required
• Minimal front or rear ballasting requirements for daily applications
• Low fuel consumption
• Protects the soil
• Greater driving comfort
• Good, safe road handling

Benefits of the short overall length.

• good manoeuvrability
• short trailer combination on the road
• Small overhang with front loader or front linkage
• good visibility
• good guidance of front-mounted implements

A sturdy connection between the tractor and attachment is essential for safe and efficient working. The linkages on the ARION 400 provide up to 6.5 t lift at the rear and 2.8 t at the front, and also have a long lift arc.

The 98 l/min open hydraulic circuit operates as a twin-pump system. The first pump serves the rear linkage, while a second pump provides flow to the hydraulic spool valves. This allows the ARION 400 to perform these two functions simultaneously. In addition, the entire hydraulic capacity of the two pumps can be pooled and delivered to the spool valves. Ideal for intensive front-loader operations or special hydraulic applications.

Greater comfort means greater efficiency.

• Low, narrow bonnet for a good view of the front loader and front linkage
• New rear mudguard design with maximum mud-catching ability ensures optimum view of both sides and of the rear linkage
• Good view of the hitch
• Wide-opening doors, ergonomic handles and dirt-repellent steps for safe and comfortable everyday use
• Wide FOPS transparent sunroof for an unimpeded view of the front loader
• Swivelling seat with low-frequency air suspension
• Comfortable passenger seat with seatbelt
• Plenty of storage space and practical storage compartments
• Cooler compartment for bottles up to 1.5 litres
• MP3 radio with Bluetooth function
• Effective air conditioning

The clearly laid-out instrument panel provides all the information you need at a glance. The ARION 400 is intuitive and easy to use – no training sessions or long, drawn-out explanations are necessary. Just climb on board and drive away. From one job to another, you can control every function effectively and intuitively as the controls are perfectly configured for any application.

The TCE 15 T linkage control has been integrated into the right-hand side console, and is therefore in an ideal position for controlling the rear attachments. Using a large rotating wheel, the working depths can easily be set and the mounted implements can be securely coupled and detached.

The external rear linkage controls on both rear mudguards are easily accessible and precise, as are the external controls for the PTO. This is particularly useful when filling slurry tankers.

Full and intuitive control.

The gear lever has had its day. The QUADRISHIFT transmission is operated effortlessly via "+/-" buttons and the shift key on the hand throttle. In the ARION 400 CIS, you can also switch between all four ranges and powershift speeds via a toggle switch on the joystick. The clutch pedal is now required for manoeuvring only, and no longer for acceleration.

In addition to the traditional clutchless reverser function, REVERSHIFT also provides a declutch function.

• Field mode: shift between the powershift speeds at the push of a button, shift between ranges with +/- button and shift key
• Road mode: shift between all ranges and powershift speeds by pressing a button

In the ARION 400 CIS, the QUADRACTIV automatic transmission performs the shifts. You can select your driving style conveniently in the onboard computer.

The compact ARION 400 features the same technology as its big brothers. With the CLAAS INFORMATION SYSTEM (CIS), the ARION 400 offers the full CLAAS experience in terms of comfort and convenience.

With CIS, simultaneously activating several buttons or levers when carrying out difficult manoeuvres is a thing of the past. CIS controls the transmission, PTO and electronic spool valves automatically, leaving your hands and head free to concentrate on more important tasks so that you can get the most out of your ARION 400. Productive and efficient – day in, day out.

CIS settings.

• Shift points for the QUADRACTIV powershift unit
• Start-up gear for the QUADRISHIFT transmission
• Progressivity of the REVERSHIFT clutchless reverser
• Disengagement of forward/reverse ratio
• Time and flow rate settings for the electronic spool valves on the joystick
• On-board computer functions such as area worked, area output, fuel consumption and remaining work time

• Maintenance interval display

1. Menu navigation
2. Select
3. Escape key

This means that two electronic spool valves can be operated via the joystick.

The QUADRISHIFT gearbox, too, can be easily operated using the rocker switch on the joystick. Alternating between gear-shifting and activating the hydraulics is no longer necessary, providing considerable benefits for front-loader work, mowing with a front/rear combination or trailed mowers, and for seed drilling.

1. Fill / dump attachment
2. Lower and raise front loader or front linkage
3. Change range and powershift speed with QUADRISHIFT
4. F3 and F4 function
5. Float position
6. Switch joystick on/off
7. Hydraulic locking for front-loader attachments

The flow rates of the two spool valves and the timer control can be easily set in the CIS, so that lightly tapping the joystick is sufficient to reach the full travel of the hydraulic cylinders.
