The advantages of the chassis with independent wheel suspension with slope compensation:

• Independent suspension with perfect contour following 
• Comfortable and safe driving characteristics in any situation thanks to adaptive chassis control 
• Hydro-pneumatic suspension system with level regulation 
• Super-robust frame 
• Reliable hydraulic system – no air regulation 
• Stepless track width adjustment 
• High ground clearance 
• Headland management for steering and boom functions 
• Stress relief for the driver and gentle boom treatment 
• Offset track driving for maximum soil protection 
• Safe driving on slopes via the automatic slope compensation

1. Connection to the main frame 
2. Independent trailing arm suspension 
3. Wheel motor with disc brakes and drive hubs

The soil-conserving function of the offset track driving, in which, for example, the front wheels can be set at the minimum track width and the rear wheels at maximum, ensures that the soil is travelled over just once. As a result, especially in unfavourable soil conditions, the soil is not smeared as much and young plants suffer hardly any damage. In contrast to dog-leg steering, the machine is always aligned to the direction of travel.

The new running gear with independent trailing arm suspension is of a unique design. The hydro-pneumatic suspension is adaptive, whereby the characteristics of the running gear are tailored to suit the driving situation. This intelligent control provides the best driving stability and maximum driving comfort combined with a simple and weight-reduced design in comparison with a conventional independent suspension. In addition, the system prevents any rocking when the tank is not completely full which enables high driving speeds, even on poor quality roads.

Hydraulic track width adjustment, with a standard track width from 2.00 m to 2.75 m, is fitted as standard. The Pantera-W, with track widths from 2.25 m to 3.00 m, is also available. The ground clearance in both machines is approximately 1.30 m, which means that tall crops can be driven through without damage.

The integrated slope compensation is another highlight. The inclination of the vehicle is detected via sensors and the machine is automatically kept horizontal up to a gradient of 10 %. In combination with the low centre of gravity of the machine and the hydro-pneumatic chassis, this feature provides extremely high slope stability. In addition to the enhanced driving comfort, this enables the driver to work extremely safely, even in very hilly terrain.
