Well known for its dominance in the harvesting arena, Claas has channelled its engineering excellence and a deep knowledge of the ag industry with the Fieldays release of the 2025 facelift Claas Arion 600C Evolution and Claas Night Edition Arion 660 tractors.
The new Claas Evolution series is designed to work smarter, featuring redesigns for greater versatility and ease of use, including a refined transmission, ergonomic controls, advanced fuel-saving technologies and smart farming integrations.
The Night Edition is more than a limited-edition statement, featuring a striking greyed-out exterior, enhanced LED lighting systems and cab upgrades, to deliver improved visibility, comfort and control.
Pasture preparation might signal the right time to upgrade, or pair your tractor with a new implement from either our Amazone spraying and seeding equipment range, or with a Claas disc mower.
Amazone’s ZA-M mounted spreaders, offer hopper capacities up to 1,500 litres and spreading widths of 10-36 metres, placing great emphasis on safety and reliability. Key features include slow-turning, heavy-duty agitators to maintain a constant feed and the low disc speeds ensure an even flow, while protecting the integrity of the fertiliser granules.
Claas recently celebrated Disco’s success with the 250,000th mower – a model 3200 FC – rolling off the production line in Bad Saulgau, Germany. Disco mowers offer the cleanest cuts at high speeds, ensuring optimal forage quality.
Using correctly set front and rear mowers with the Active Float hydraulic suspension ensures ground contour following and avoids soil contamination.
