claas arion 540

[James]

Cebis so high spec
looking opinions on these tractors from owners / users

 

[Bullring]

I know of one that has been faultless 3 years old and 8500 hours, just been traded in for a 640.

 

[CJ Hall]

There was a full spec 550 for sale on donedeal a couple of weeks ago, would buy it myself if I could

 

[James]

Should probably have said it was a 2011 model I saw. Would it handle a 6.5m reach hedgecutter ok as tractordata shows it weighing more than a few 6 cylinder tractors I am also looking at

Check the PTO doesn't whine. a good friedn had a new 2011 one and it whined terribly, Claas couldn't get to the bottom of it an eventually gave him a very good deal to swap for a 650.

Did it do it even if there was nothing attached?

You won,t go far wrong with it, if it is tidy? Get it bought

In the new grassmen one contractor has an arion 630 and they complain about slow range changes and it appeared to be gutless pulling a mchale fusion

I should take what tractordata says with a pinch of salt at times, it has more missprints than The Guardian. For example It lists The MF 590 as having a 90hp engine!

Yes very good spec. Fairly tidy few scuffs on rear mudguard worst is rear wheels have some welding done

 

[Zebbedee]

Is it 50k?

So still considering this 540. According to the operators manual it weighs around 5.8t. Would this be right?

But only 67 at the shaft ! So the two definitely don't add up
