If you need a trailer coupling for the Claas Ares 566, start here. This page shows more than 60 parts for this Ares series model, so you see what fits.
Most people who need parts for an Ares 566 are dealing with the back end of the tractor. Of the more than 60 parts on this page, many concern hitching: drawbars, top drawbars, drawbar frames, automatic hitches, flange hitches, a Piton Fix, a pick-up hitch, a ball with ball insert and support plates. The makers are Scharmüller, Walterscheid, ROCKINGER, GRANIT and GRAMMER.
There is also a manual hitch, and a part for trailers with forced steering. Keep the ball lightly greased, and wipe off old gritty grease before applying fresh, because a dry ball wears quickly and creaks on every turn. On an automatic hitch, check that the jaw closes fully and that the pin has not worn oval. Even slight play between frame and rail grows fast under load.
The drawbar frame carries the full pull and is often ignored until the drawbar refuses to move. Clean the rail regularly so soil and rust do not build up, and check the locking holes for distortion. A top drawbar sits higher and suits trailers whose drawbar does not reach the lower coupling point.
For the cab there is a Maximo Professional seat and an air suspended tractor seat. An air seat needs power for its compressor. If the suspension stops working, check the plug and fuse before taking the seat itself apart.
The type plate confirms the Ares 566. For hitching, the rail width of your frame and the pin diameter are what matter, so measure both on the tractor itself. For a seat, use the number on the old cushion or base as your starting point and compare it with the reference number shown with the product.
The Ares 566 is one of many models in the Ares range, and each one has a page of its own. If you also run another Ares, go to its page: Claas Ares 556, Claas Ares 557, Claas Ares 567, Claas Ares 657, Claas Ares 696 or Claas Ares 697. Every other Claas tractor can be found through Claas parts.
