Design features and purpose
The Claas tractor belongs to the heavy class of machines. The engine power of the unit is 300 hp. The tractor's high traction performance is used for cultivating soil and performing various agricultural work. The machine easily overcomes obstacles on the surface of the earth. The tractor is equipped with an 8.7 liter diesel engine made in Italy.
The unit is equipped with turbocharging and fuel injection systems, allowing for more economical use of gasoline. The engine is environmentally friendly. The tractor can reach high speeds. The engine has a cooling unit with electronic fan control. This allows the operator to work in hot weather. The internal combustion engine is equipped with an electric starter and a pre-heater, which makes it possible to work in winter in severe frost.
The tractor cabin has reliable thermal insulation and does not allow noise to pass through, and vibration protection is installed.
The cabin is made of durable steel, all joints are spot welded. The surface is covered with high-quality paint in several layers, which protects against deformation.
The coating has anti-corrosion protection. The cabin has climate control, which consists of air conditioning and heating. The steering column and side mirrors are electrically adjustable. The seat can be adjusted to suit the height of the driver. The armrest contains control devices and a color display that monitors the attachments.
The display allows you to adjust the position of the attachment and correctly distribute the load. On the screen you can get information about the amount of fuel, set a timer, find out the engine oil pressure and temperature. All-wheel drive guarantees good maneuverability of the vehicle.
The drive is complemented by a locking differential for each wheel, which makes it possible to overcome even trenches and holes. The car can drive on a slope of 40º. A robust chassis is installed, the body has high ground clearance, the engine compartment and the bottom are reliably protected by steel sheets. The transmission is continuously variable, automatic, and has a large number of gears. Gear shifting is carried out smoothly, without jerking.
The unit has a rear linkage, which is controlled by a hydraulic system. The hydraulic pump capacity is 220 l/min. Since the machine has high traction characteristics, it was equipped with an additional mounted implement located at the front. There is a satellite navigation control system. All spare parts and components are guaranteed. Maintenance is carried out in compliance with all modern standards.
Application nuances
The operator's workplace is as comfortable as the interior of a premium car.
All controls are grouped according to their purpose, and their ergonomic location does not take a long time for the operator to get used to them after transferring from another machine. A digital display that displays current operating parameters will also help you quickly get used to it. Otherwise, the management of the equipment and its maintenance are not too different from other models.
To reduce the impact of vibration on the operator, the cabin was secured at 4 points through rubber-metal spacers. They effectively cut off vertical and horizontal vibrations.

German tractor Claas Axion 850 technical specifications
Claas Axion 850 is a productive German tractor for large agricultural firms and farms. The car has received modern technical “stuffing” and stands out for its stylish appearance. This tractor looks impressive and is a prominent representative of prestigious heavy tractors. The equipment is durable and reliable for long-term use. Thanks to this, the model has received worldwide recognition, including on the Russian market. The machine is in high demand in the public and private sectors of the economy. Klaas Axion 850 is made of high quality materials - this applies to both exterior and interior decoration. The tractor is designed for a wide range of tasks, because it supports a large number of attachment options. In this article we will consider in detail its advantages and capabilities, as well as technical parameters.
Price, analogues
The new device is available to farmers from 150 thousand euros. This is the cost of the car in its basic configuration. When purchasing attachments or a model with advanced equipment, the amount will increase.
A non-new tractor costs 30-40% less. In this case, the final amount is affected by the condition of the equipment and the availability of attachments.
It is difficult to name tractor models with similar characteristics and level of comfort. First of all, these are the products of the leading ones - 7930, New Holland - T7550, Case IH - MX-240.
Design and service features
The design of the Claas Jaguar 850 combine allows for the highest quality of chopping of plant matter with the compactness of the main components. In terms of equipment, the 800 series models are close to the 900 series modifications. Externally, they differ only in the rear, and the side panels and silhouettes are similar.
The reliable chassis is complemented by a hydrostatic transmission with electric drive. Driving is controlled via a 2-speed manual gearbox. Switching in the Klaas Jaguar 850 model occurs with minor jerks (especially for beginners). The rear axle can be equipped with a mechanical drive (optional). Electrical cables and hydraulic pipes are grouped very conveniently. An optional trailer brake drive is available.
Claas Jaguar 850 is available in several versions:
Claas Jaguar 850 is used for mowing and picking up crop material. The main difference between the model and other forage harvesting machines is the direct movement of the product from the rollers to the guide valve. Main working parts of the combine:
Distinctive features of the Claas Jaguar 850 are its high turnover and the ability to quickly load and unload. At the same time, the creators did not forget about operator comfort. The combine is equipped with a spacious cabin with 2 seats and panoramic windows providing excellent visibility. The combine operator's workplace has air suspension. The cabin is also equipped with a heater and air conditioning, allowing you to feel great regardless of weather conditions.
The Claas Jaguar 850 cabin is equipped with a Quantimeter device that measures harvesting performance, an on-board informant and a Communicator device that provides information on yield, operating hours, area harvested and other parameters. Optionally, it is possible to install a device that prints this information on paper.
The combine is literally crammed with electronic systems, so it will be quite difficult for an inexperienced operator at first. The Auto Fill device (automatic filling of transport), control systems, the Opti Fill mechanism (optimized control of the silo drive), the Telematics function and other innovations take time to master. Their presence increases the efficiency of the equipment, but complicates the maintenance process. It is quite difficult to do it on your own. This fact, coupled with the high cost of the Claas Jaguar 850 model, are the main disadvantages of this technology. In terms of quality and functional characteristics, there can be no complaints about it.
Pros, cons
In terms of operating parameters, equipment, and workmanship, the Claas Axion 850 can claim the status of a tractor that meets world standards. The device successfully combines high-torque performance and functionality. Among the advantages, machine operators highlight the following nuances.
Traditionally, potential customers include the high price of the tractor and its additional equipment as a disadvantage of premium class equipment. In addition, machine operators point out the demanding nature of the engine: the machine can only be fueled with Euro-5 diesel fuel.
In the absence of other comments, these two points can be considered conditional disadvantages. What really needs to change is to expand the help information on do-it-yourself maintenance and repair.
Reviews from machine operators
Vitaly, 36 years old: “The Claas Axion 850 works for us for plowing, soil cultivation, harvesting, and transportation of crops. This working device consumes fuel economically, is compact, and the engine itself adapts to the required modes.”
Alexey, 52 years old: “We are using a German tractor to cultivate cereal fields with alfalfa. Our land surface is uneven, but the machine copes well with the tasks assigned to it, providing a productivity of at least 12 hectares/hour.”
