Claas AXOS Compact Tractor

One of the smaller Claas Tractors, the AXOS has a 4.4 litre 4-cylinder engine withpower outputs between 55 and 75 kW.

 

The wheelbase is comparatively short 2,489 mm, which is also its approximate height. This tractor weighs approximately 2,500 kg and is highly manouvreable.

 

Here it is equiped with a furrowing tool (for creating furrows). The outer blades are folded in to make the tractor and tool more compact for travel on the road or through tighter environments.

 

This Claas AXOS has been modelled in Lego bricks for Flickr LUGNuts 37th Build Challenge - 'The Food We Eat' celebrating vehicles used in the production or distribution of food, or just with funny food derived names.

 

I have chosen to build the Claas AXOS, after driving past the Claas distribution centre in Laverton (Melbourne), Victoria, and admiring their lovely lime green colour. Further research has highlighted the supreme capability the Claas Tractor range is capable of.
