Claas arion 630

[Bedfo]

Hi last year we bought a second hand 2009 arion 630 with 4500 hrs , now I really like this tractor problem is it has front suspension and it’s crap . It turns off and goes down, turn it back on on and it pumps up but it’s rock hard , I’m wondering if it has a soft setting like our newholland or is there something wrong with it !!cheers

Could be the suspension accumulators, I replaced one on my 2015 650 when I noticed it wasn’t riding as smooth as it was. Could also be a lack of grease!

It had all new bushes in axle done at 3000hrs and we grease it regularly , is your tractor a really smooth ride when suspension works normal or does it nod with plough or load of muck at 40-50k ?

With a cultivator on the back and 1000kg on the front it’s very smooth, but that’s largely due to the weight. With a wagon on the back doing 50k, if I lift off the front dips and you can see the suspension working. Equally if you are jumpy on the throttle at low speeds you should be able to see it going up and down on both sides smoothly. When one of my accumulators failed, only one side worked as per above. Certainly doesn’t nod under any circumstances.

Ok thanks I will investigate accumulators

Get accumulators tested we’ve lowered the pressure in ours , 630 axle is not as smooth as the 650s , diaphragms are prone to blowing
