Their Axion line has granted Claas a long history of success. WIKING is paying tribute to this success story with a 1:32 model with an optimised series-production look. The Axion has always managed to be ready for the most daunting tasks – thanks in no small part to Claas’ innovative prowess. The latest innovation is, of course, the integration of digital technology in the tractor’s cockpit. Whether the machine needs to handle difficult terrain or cope with varying ground conditions – a myriad of decisions need to be made in an instant to keep the work quality high. It is a good thing then that the tractor can ease the burden. It is able to do so thanks to CEMOS, a self-learning driver assistance system. It is the first and only system on the market capable of optimising both the tractor and such attachments as grubber and plough. It assists the driver in ballasting and in setting the right tyre pressure. The CEMOS suggests values for all key settings including engine, transmission and attachments. This ensures that the Axion will always work with optimised traction and maximum protection of the ground. CEMOS helps the farms boost their land utilisation, improve work quality and cut down diesel consumption by up to 12%.

With this model update, WIKING modifies scores of exterior and interior elements that give the Claas tractor a more up-to-date look. One example is the CEBIS operator panel that now adorns the interior of the cab. The edge of the roof now comes with all-round LED lights, while hinged warning signs, which can be folded forward by 90°, can be spotted on the left and the right of the cab. Also found on the cab are new working lamps, embellishing its front, and new mirrors with a wide-angle view. The front indicators sport a fresh new design. The bonnet of the tractor can be opened, affording the beholder a view of the miniaturised drive assembly, while the upper and lower links have been designed to move. The door on the driver’s side and the rear window on the cab can be opened, while the exterior mirrors are hinged. WIKING has managed to reproduce every element of the cab with exceptional detail - from the instruments to the filigree imprint of markings, warning signs and lamps. The same precision was applied to the imprint of the hydraulic connections. To make the model even more realistic, the swing axle can be controlled with the steering wheel. Found on the rear is the coupling for connecting the cardan shaft. The tractor is outfitted with an exhaust pipe that sports a chrome look and tyres with a knobbly profile.
