"Floats over the ground"

“We grow approximately 2700ha of combinable crops,” reveals Duncan. "This estate is a CLAAS stronghold and we work very closely both with our local dealer and CLAAS UK. The back-up we get is fantastic and we’ve always found CLAAS kit to be very reliable."

The man responsible for driving the AXION half-track is the Ramsbury Estate’s assistant farm manager Martyn Hall. A seasoned drill man with years of experience on both tracklayers and wheeled machines, Martyn is complimentary about the new TERRA TRAC. “I am very impressed with how well it puts the power down,” he says.

The independent track suspension provides a very smooth ride and the tractor seems to almost float over the ground.

The turning circle is surprisingly good for a tracklayer and you certainly don’t get any of the scuffing you do with a conventional twin-track machine.

The new CLAAS AXION 960 TERRA TRAC is potentially the best tractor we’ve seen for some time from the German manufacturer. Combining arguably the most capable tractor the company produces with its well-proven TERRA TRAC system might have produced a concept a couple of years ago, yet from what we’ve seen so far CLAAS appears to have done a really thorough job with the development of this tractor.
