Find more than 60 parts for the Claas Ares 697 on one page, including trailer couplings. Everything listed here is matched to this tractor type.
If you need Claas Ares 697 parts, chances are the job is at the back of the tractor. This page lists more than 60 parts that fit the Ares 697, and the focus is on hitching trailers and implements. The brands are Scharmüller, Walterscheid, ROCKINGER, GRAMMER and GRANIT.
Your trailers decide which system you need. For trailers with a drawbar eye there are automatic hitches that lock themselves as you reverse onto the eye. Heavy tippers and tankers with a ball socket go on a drawbar with a ball, and separate balls and a ball insert are available as well. The Piton Fix system uses a fixed pin in the rail. Flange hitches and the top drawbar cover couplings that sit higher on the tractor.
Around those you will find the parts that hold everything in place: drawbar frames, height adjustable adapter plates, support plates and a Pick-Up Hitch insert. Trailers with a steered axle need forced steering, and that is listed too.
When you replace an automatic hitch, look at the coupling pin and the bush in the drawbar eye of your trailer at the same time. If the pin has worn oval, a new hitch on its own will not take the knock out of the combination. Also measure the rail width, the pin thickness and the hole pattern of the current part before ordering, so the replacement bolts straight on.
A drawbar that works every day benefits from a little care. Keep the guide in the rail clean and grease the lock now and then so the hitch keeps adjusting smoothly. If you spot cracks in the welds or a bent frame after a heavy knock, stop using it and replace the part.
For the cab there are tractor seats, including an air suspended seat with fabric cover and the GRAMMER Maximo Professional seat made for Claas.
Always check the type plate first, then compare the reference number on the old part with the description in the shop. Within the Ares range every model has a page of its own. The Claas Ares 696 has a separate page, as do the lighter models: the Ares 556, Ares 557, Ares 567, Ares 577 and Ares 657. Sharing the family with the Ares 697 are the Ares 656 and Ares 816. Order from the page for your own model, because a part listed for one type does not automatically fit the next. The whole brand is under Claas parts.
