To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Claas Xerion, siku is presenting the Claas Xerion 5000 TracVC agricultural giant as a powerful RC model in a limited special edition. The dazzling red colour accents leave no doubt: Power, dynamism, and precision combine here in an impressive powerful machine. Working lights on, work unit attached, and then it’s off to work in the fields! Using the SIKU CONTROL APP, the six gears, 22 LEDs, and numerous tractor functions can be controlled from your Smartphone or tablet. The functions can be controlled either via the virtual gamepad controller or via the movement sensors of the mobile devices. This intuitive feature provides even more playing fun. As on the original, the complete cab rotates at the push of a button. Above all, when mulching and for silo work, this allows a good view to the rear. The controller recognises the changed direction of travel, and adapts the steering commands. And then there’s the option, like the prototype, of driving and steering the model via the rear axle, using all-wheel steering, or so-called crab steering. Here the front and rear wheels are turned in the same direction. This allows the rear wheels to be offset from the front wheels, even when steering in a straight line. This reduces rut formation and decreases the risk of tipping over. The SIKU CONTROL APP is available for download free of charge in the App Store and the Google Play Store. The settings and functions of the app a
re continuously updated. Using the app’s OTA (over the air) function, the tractor’s software can also be updated directly.
