Does a trailer coupling fit the Claas Axion 940? Yes, and that is just one of the groups within the more than 50 parts listed for this Axion series model.
Chaser bins, slurry tankers and wide cultivators all hang off the back of an Axion 940, and the coupling point takes every one of those loads. This page holds more than 50 parts for the Claas Axion 940, all of them hitch components from Scharmüller, Walterscheid and ROCKINGER.
For the rear rails there are drawbars with a ball. Under the tractor, Pick-Up Hitch inserts fit the hook. Ball hitches, a flange hitch and Piton Fix cover the other common coupling types. When a coupling has worn inside, an inner part can bring it back without replacing the whole assembly. Screw ball adapters and adapter plates let you change from one system to another, and a forced steering linkage is listed for trailers with steered axles.
Start at the type plate on your Axion 940 for the type and serial number. Then measure on the tractor itself. For a pick-up insert, it is the shank size. For a flange hitch or adapter plate, the bolt pattern. For a screw ball adapter, the thread and bore. Compare each figure with the details on the product here, and look for a stamped number on the old ball or hook as a final check.
Coupling balls wear slowly and quietly. Once a ball loses its shape or develops a ridge, the trailer cup starts to knock and the whole outfit jerks under braking and pulling away. Check the ball regularly with a wear gauge and keep it lightly greased. On a pick-up insert, make sure the locking device in the shank is still secure.
Ordering for more than one machine? Do it for each tractor from its own page rather than assuming a part carries over.
A forced steering linkage only works properly when the rod is held without slack. Check the lock every time you hitch up and look for worn ball ends on the rod, since a trailer that wanders on a straight road often has play right there. And when you switch systems with an adapter plate, the weakest link in the chain sets what the outfit may pull, not the strongest coupling.
Other models in the range with a page of their own are the Claas Axion 800, Claas Axion 810, Claas Axion 820, Claas Axion 830, Claas Axion 840 and Claas Axion 930. The Axion 920 and Axion 950 are also part of the series. For an Ares or any other tractor from the same maker, use Claas parts.
