Description
This Celtis 456 Tractor from Claas is now available in KwaZulu‑Natal in good condition. It packs solid utility into a compact, 3.83-ton (3 830 kg) 4×4 package designed for everyday farm operations.
🛠 Engine & Hydraulics
Powered by a 4-cylinder John Deere (DPS) diesel engine delivering a net 100 hp (74.6 kW), it’s fuel-efficient and responsive, with a torque curve optimised for power band from 1 850 to 2 200 rpm tractordata.com. A hydraulic system pumps 68.9 lpm (18.2 gpm) through an open-centre circuit with dual spool valves—enough to support rear or front loader attachments.
🚜 Transmission & PTO
This tractor features either a 10-speed synchronised or 20-speed power-shift gearbox (with 20 forward / 20 reverse in 4×4 models), reaching a top transport speed of 40 km/h. The rear independent PTO offers 540/540E or 540/1000 rpm options; some models also include front PTO provision.
🔧 Linkage & Lifting
Rear lift capacity sits at 7 600 kg (16,758 lbs), supporting heavy implements like ploughs, planters, or trailers. The mechanical linkage ensures simple, robust operation, with optional upgrades available.
🧰 Operator Comfort
Celtis tractors are engineered for practical comfort. A low-profile cab reduces overall height (<2.50 m) for yard access, while sloped bonnet design optimises forward visibility. Comfort features include low noise levels (~73 dB), efficient heating and optional air-conditioning, and user-friendly controls integrated into the dashboard.
