For Jack Neale and his sons Christopher and James, their ARION 440 PANORAMIC offers the best of both worlds. Fitted with a FL100 loader, it’s small and nimble enough for jobs around the yard, but out in the field its power means that if necessary it can stand in for their larger ARION 610s.
“We initially saw the ARION at the Beef Expo at Exeter last November
and liked the look of it. HAMBLYS brought the tractor out for us to
try in December and it never went back. We were surprised by how
gutsy it is. It also has a very good turning circle and the PANORAMIC
cab makes a big difference for loader work. Having everything on the
(multifunction) joystick makes it so easy to drive – you just jump in and
off you go. For a small tractor it’s extremely good.”
The main reason for having CLAAS on the farm is because we have always dealt with HAMBLYS due to the back-up they provide.There’s always a place for a small tractor on a farm and the ARION is ideal in this respect,” says Jack. “We have a number of small sheds, but it can go everywhere it needs to go and will quite happily power the bale shredder running at 540 Eco.
