Claas Cematic demo days

[jondear]

Having visited Saxham recently I would say the whole thing was refreshingly different and will make other manufacturers think why didn't we do that and ditch the bland machinery shows !
The hospitality was amazing through them and our local dealership.
The product had a few thinking as well in our group that weren't already running claas tractors !

Do you run any claas tractors or are you looking to buy one ?

What did you think of the cmatic?

Never drove 1 but a jd owner friend said he drove 1 a bit and really liked it

What did you think of the cmatic?

Very good . Apparently can't damage it by changing speeds ranges on the move like others .Does seem easy to use either pedal or stick .
5 years warranty on it

Can it be switched between pedal and stick the same as nh and jd? Is max speed set through the screen? Also what did u mean you cant damage it compared to others? Sorry for the lust but iv asked on here before about cmatic but never really got an answer

What engine does the 6pot arion run? Find it odd they dont use cat engines seeing as they have over the years and still do work with each other

Uses a John Deere DPS same as you'd find in a JD 6R.

The Axions use FPT.

 

[daveydiesel1]

So how are they for fuel usage coupled to the cmatic? And does it put the power to the ground well?

Correct and I'm pretty sure they developed their own Head gasket Which improves the Deere engine which JD now use as well.

A good mate of mine has 1 . It's his 3rd claas of that size and first vario claas and he really likes the box . I tried one when they first came out but didn't fancy it but the way he describes it the controls have either changed or I was shown wrong how to work it .

When I was shown back in 2015 if you set your 3 target speeds you could jump between them with a button but if you moved the hand piece to change speed a little it changed the target speed that you had set . But he describes it differently now.

Sounds just like my NH autocommand, scroll wheel to change target speed.

Yeah but if you just move your joystick you get a little bit then press button when you want to go back to set speed or move the roller to change the set speed .

Didn't see any scroll wheel like JD or nh .Less reving and wining like a NH

Is it a reliable box and if it does go wrong is it an exchange unit at what cost? Or can parts be had for it

The first ones were horrendously bad there was 1 sold to a lad I know at the same time that I got the 650 hexashift .
It was broken down more than it was going for about 2 yrs the current models seem fine
