ELIOS 2

Get more done together.

The production facility is not the only factor that determines the success of an outstanding product – it's also about how all the carefully matched components work perfectly together. The Rovigo factory has been developing and manufacturing compact tractors for working in vineyards, orchards and other specialist crops for around 35 years.

When it comes to manufacturing the ELIOS, quality that lasts is not our only priority. Your satisfaction is paramount. Since 2009, more than 10,000 CLAAS tractors have rolled off the assembly line – three generations in all.

Intelligent production processes and seamless quality controls ensure outstanding manufacturing quality. This is how we ensure that you can completely rely on your tractor at every minute of the day.

With a maximum lift capacity of 3.2 t at the ball ends of the rear linkage and up to 3.2 t on the front linkage, the ELIOS is ideally equipped to face the challenges of day-to-day work.

The mechanical control elements for the rear linkage are placed close to the driver and easy to operate. The adjustable lower stop ensures that the required working depth is achieved after every turn at the headland.

The factory-fitted front linkage and 1000 rpm front PTO are seamlessly integrated into the tractor. When folded up, the front linkage is highly compact with a minimal overhang.

With front loaders, the connection to the tractor is crucial for safe, fast loading operations. So when developing the ELIOS series, we made sure that the attachment brackets were fully integrated into the overall tractor concept.

The CLAAS front loader on the ELIOS 2 is operated via the PROPILOT in the right-hand console. This multi-functional single-lever control system, which uses Bowden cables, was developed specifically for operating a front loader and has proven its worth in everyday use.

The glass roof gives you an almost unrestricted view of the raised front loader.

The 24 gears deliver the ideal speed for all types of operation. Specialist applications are tackled to perfection as the ELIOS has a minimum ground speed of 500 m/h at rated engine speed. The TWINSHIFT powershift transmission can be activated with ease via a push button on the gear knob. All ELIOS transmissions have been developed to ensure low power losses.

Thanks to the REVERSHIFT clutchless reverser you can almost forget the clutch pedal: the clutch button on the shift lever offers numerous advantages, especially during transport work. REVERSHIFT also enables you to change direction quickly and smoothly – particularly important when working with a front loader.

The ELIOS 2 is equipped with two hydraulic pumps as standard, which together deliver a flow of 87 l/min. One hydraulic circuit supplies the steering system at 27 l/min, while a second circuit supplies the rear linkage and spool valves at 60 l/min.

Three hydraulic pumps are optionally available to give a maximum combined flow of 114 l/min. With this configuration, the first circuit supplies the steering system and the second circuit the rear linkage, both at 27 l/min. The third pump supplies the spool valves at 60 l/min. This enables overlapping actions to be performed simultaneously or implement combinations with extremely high hydraulic requirements to be operated. Valuable fuel savings can also be achieved by operating at low engine speeds while maintaining a high hydraulic output.
