Continuously variable drives for ease and comfort.

The EQ 200/220/260 is a continuously variable transmission developed by CLAAS. Its intelligent combination of a stepped planetary transmission, a clutch unit and two hydrostatic units ensures an optimum power flow. Thanks to its straightforward design and two automatically shifted drive ratios, this transmission offers impressive comfort and efficiency.

Low fuel consumption on the road thanks to a maximum driving speed at just 1,500 rpm
Active standstill control (powered zero) for easy stopping and starting on slopes without using the service brake
Smooth and automatic drive ratio changes
Consistent engagement of the optimum drive ratio
Two drive ratios, which change the power flow and functional processes in the transmission
High, consistent efficiency for low fuel consumption and maximum versatility in all operations

The technology.

Drive ratio 1.

In the first drive ratio, the tractor can be kept in powered zero mode, started up or reversed, without any mechanical shifting operations in the transmission. The stepped planetary transmission splits the power from the engine (from the left) into a mechanical and a variable, hydrostatic component. As the tractor accelerates, the rotational speeds of the two clutch shafts gradually converge until they are synchronised, at which point the drive ratio is changed automatically without the driver even noticing.

Drive ratio 2.

In the second drive ratio, the power flow and the functions in the transmission change. The hydrostats switch their functions. The stepped planetary transmission is intelligently connected to the hydrostats via the clutches. This ensures that the power from the engine is not only split by the stepped planetary transmission, but also converges again behind the hydrostats.

Superior transmission control.

Powerful acceleration, smooth deceleration and a fast response to load changes: CMATIC powertrain management delivers consistently high performance in all conditions and for every task. Stay relaxed and focused throughout the working day so you can concentrate on more important things – and let CMATIC take care of the rest.

The described change in function between drive ratios 1 and 2 ensures consistently high efficiency at all speeds, making the ARION 600 / 500 CMATIC tractors particularly powerful.

Efficient and comfortable.

With engine speeds of 1,500 rpm at a top speed of 50 km/h and 1,400 rpm at 40 km/h, the ARION 600 / 500 tractors also deliver a powerful performance in transport operations. When the accelerator pedal is not depressed, the transmission enters powered zero mode and reliably maintains the tractor’s position. As a result, you can start up safely and easily on steep field access tracks or at road junctions, even with a full load.
