Below the Tucano model, the Avero 240 was introduced in the summer of 2009. For the first time in a Claas four-rotor combine, an APS acceleration drum was placed in front of the threshing drum. The rotors had a new design but were 390 centimeters long, just like in the Dominator 130-150, and the sieving system corresponded to the Dominator’s. The cutter bars were the same as those in the Tucano and Lexion models. The use of the crop lifter auger and reverse rotation was hydraulic, and all electrical and hydraulic functions were connected to the header with a single multi-connector. Adjustable Vario headers and folding headers were also available.

The engine was a 6.6-liter Caterpillar with a gross power output of 198 hp. The Vista II cab was basically the same construction as in the Tucano. Standard equipment included, among other things, air conditioning, an air suspension seat, and threshing drum monitoring.

In the autumn of 2011, a smaller Avero 160 was introduced, which had a smaller grain tank and engine power, and the front threshing drum was omitted from the design. As an option, header side tilt and cutting height automation were available. Threshing drum monitoring was an optional extra on the 160.

In 2013, the Avero 240’s engine was changed to a 7.0-liter Perkins with urea injection. Along with this, the cooler was equipped with a much-desired rotary intake screen. The rotor space was widened upwards. In the 2020 models, the engines were switched to Stage V-compliant Cummins engines.
