Our drive system: the perfect interplay between optimal components.

Your CLAAS machine is much more than the sum of its individual parts. Top performance is only possible when all the parts are ideally matched and work together optimally.

Engine + Drive train.

Power where you need it.

Engine.

CLAAS POWER SYSTEMS combines powerful 6-cylinder Mercedes-Benz engines with a simple drive train. Enormous torque is available with all three machines even in lower engine speed ranges. The XERION 5000 delivers a maximum torque of 2,600 Nm when the PTO is switched on. The low-speed concept reduces the engine idling speed from 800 rpm to 730 rpm.

Continuously variable transmission for enhanced driving comfort.

Transmission.

The CMATIC continuously variable transmission from ZF is in a class of its own. From 0.05 to 50 km/h you have the benefit of outstanding driving comfort as well as efficient power transmission provided by a high mechanical component.

Five steering modes make it remarkably agile.

Construction.

The XERION is ideal for carrying heavy loads thanks to its unique frame construction. Bolted rather than welded crossbeams in the frame provide greater strength and load-carrying capacity. The heavy-duty axles are designed to carry loads of up to 15 t per axle at speeds of up to 50 km/h. Despite its size and weight, with two steered axles the XERION is remarkably agile and manoeuvrable.

Stability you can count on every day.

Durable, extremely robust full frame
Heavy-duty axles with 15 t axle load up to 50 km/h
Fully integrated linkage with load capacities of up to 8.4 t at the front and 13.6 t at the rear

The right steering for even job.

The two steering axles on the XERION can be steered in five different ways, and remain active at the headland.

Standard steering program.

Four-wheel and front-axle steering combined
From 5° steering lock on the front axle, rear axle follows the front axle electrohydraulically
The steering lock is continuously reduced from 12 km/h
Fully locked at 40 km/h

Benefit:

High stability on the road

Main applications:

On-road transport Field transport (transfer vehicle)

Four-wheel steering.

Rear axle is steered at the same time as the front axle but in the opposite direction
Axles move simultaneously

Benefit:

Drift correction keeps tractor on track

Main applications:

Tillage and drilling on a slope

Single-sided crab steering.

Rear axle controlled separately via the CMOTION multifunction control lever

Benefit:

Drift correction keeps tractor on track

Main applications:

Tillage and drilling on a slope

Gentle mode (reduced crab steering).

Rear axle moves along a parallel track to front axle
75% of steering lock can be used
Steering corrected up to 4° by the steering wheel via the front axle

Benefit:

Protects the soil (no double rolling action)

Main application:

Slurry spreading

Full crab steering.

Rear axle moves along a parallel track to front axle
Rear axle steered once via the CMOTION multi-function control lever
Minor steering corrections possible

Benefit:

Maximum exploitation of contact surface

Main application:

Silage clamp work

Power to the ground.

Running gear.

With the XERION you have three options for transferring its four-wheel drive power to the ground: a crawler track system that is gentle on the soil, four equal-sized wheels, or dual tyres that double up the contact area.

Creating a strong attachment.

Hitch points and PTO.

With the XERION you can choose from a range of hitching options. Whether swan neck attachment, drawbar or trailer coupling, all systems are designed for high load-carrying capacity.

Read on

Hitch points and PTO for heavy loads.

When the PTO is running at 1,000 rpm, the XERION develops its output at a reduced engine speed of 1,730 rpm. Thanks to the simple drive train design, much of the rated output is transferred to the PTO stub. This enables you to reduce your fuel consumption even when the XERION makes the full PTO output available.

Rest assured.

All hitching systems are designed for high load-carrying capacity
The swan neck hitch can take a drawbar load of up to 15 t
The PTO provides full power even at reduced engine speed
The PTO stubs can be replaced quickly and easily
You have a choice of different drawbars with: a 40 or 50 mm diameter locking pin / an 80 mm hitch ball / a Piton-Fix coupling

Swan neck.

The swan neck coupling with its 110 mm hitch ball is designed to take a drawbar load of up to 15 t, which it distributes evenly across both axles. This type of hitch gives a smaller turning radius and a much shorter combination length than a tractor with a rear-mounted slurry tanker, for example.

Different drawbar hitches.

With drawbar hitches you have a choice of an 80 mm hitch ball or 38 and 50 mm diameter pin. With three holes, you can vary the position of the attachment point. So whatever the application, you can always maintain the right distance from the rear axle.

High drawbar loads.

The XERION can take on any challenge. The Category V heavy-duty hitch takes a drawbar load up to 5 t.

D50 pins (Ø 50 mm)
D70 pins (Ø 70 mm)

Quick-change PTO stubs.

The PTO stubs can be replaced quickly and securely. Choose from the following sizes:

1¾", 6 splines
1¾", 20 splines
2 ¼", 22 splines (Ø 57.7 mm)

Untap its full potential.

Hydraulics.

The XERION is equipped with two load-sensing hydraulic circuits which can supply even large hydraulic consumers effortlessly and powerfully. They are controlled by separate electronic spool valves or via the convenient CMOTION multifunction control level. You can assign all ten function buttons to individual hydraulic functions.

Power means versatility.

Front and rear linkage.

With an enormous continuous lift capacity of 8.1 t at the front and 10 t at the rear, the XERION handles even very heavy implements effortlessly.

Power enough for any job.

With the CMOTION multifunction control lever you can control the front and rear linkage easily with your thumb without having to move your hand. This high level of operating comfort means that on long working days you can work quickly and accurately without tiring.

Equipped for any challenge.

Continuous 8.1 t lift capacity at the front and 10 t at the rear
Vibration damping for safe and comfortable working
Reinforced front linkage for silage clamp work
Pivoting rear linkage for the SADDLE TRAC (optional)
Convenient control via the CMOTION multifunction control lever

8.1 t lift capacity at the front.

The sturdy front linkage is fully integrated into the frame. The lower links fold in easily to reduce the vehicle length.

Double-acting ram with continuous 8.1 t lift capacity
Quick and easy to attach front weights

When using the SADDLE TRAC in the silage clamp, you can fit a reinforced front linkage which can accommodate a dozer blade up to 4.0 m wide. Shear bolts protect the linkage from damage.

10 t lift capacity at the rear.

The rear linkage is equipped with vibration damping and category 4N hooks. For the top attachment point on the 3-point hitch at the rear, you can choose from a mechanical or hydraulic top link.

Double-acting ram with continuous 10 t lift capacity
Hydraulic side stabilisers with a high level of operator comfort
Mechanical side stabilisers or internal reinforcement
Robust ball ends for extended periods working with the same implement (optional)

A pivoting rear linkage is available for the SADDLE TRAC. This allows you to use a low-compaction offset mode, for example when spreading slurry on sensitive grassland areas.
