With a fixed cab. The TRAC.
On the TRAC model, the cab is fixed in the middle of the vehicle. It has large windows which offer excellent visibility all round the vehicle, allowing the front and rear implement areas to be in full view. The TRAC is the model that is typically used in general farming practices. It is ideally suited to all field operations such as cultivating and seeding. With equal-sized dual wheels, the engine power is efficiently converted into tractive power in the field without damaging the soil. |
With a rotating cab. The TRAC VC.
For jobs such as snow blowing, wood chopping and silo work, a good view of the rear implements is essential.
At CLAAS, VC stands for Variable Cab. The rotating cab is the most convenient reverse-drive system imaginable. At the press of a button, the cab can be moved from its central position to the rear facing position above the rear axle.
With automatically rotating controls, all functions remain the same when operating in the rear position. |
|
The engine. Performance packaged.
Two engines for three powerful machines.
The XERION 4000 has an OM 470 LA with 10.6 l cubic capacity. The two larger XERION 5000/4500 models are powered by the OM 471 LA with 12.8 l cubic capacity.
|
Full power.
The latest 6-cylinder in-line engines from Mercedes-Benz meet emissions standard Stage IV (Tier 4f). In addition to highly sophisticated technology, they offer a wealth of impressive benefits: -
High torque even at low engine speeds
-
Torque is consistent over a wide engine speed range
-
Compliant with emissions standard Stage IV (Tier 4f) simply by using SCR technology
|
|
The transmission. Power equals efficiency.
CMATIC means continuously variable.
CMATIC is the name of the continuously variable transmission technology used in CLAAS tractors. In the XERION series, a ZF Eccom transmission provides efficient conversion of engine power. Four multidisc clutches en sure that power transmission always includes a high mechanical component, making the XERION particularly efficient.
|
 Linear drive train.
The drive train is linear. This deliberate design feature ensures that engine power is directly transferred to the axles and PTO.
Selectable longitudinal and transverse differentials provide optimum power transfer when it's really needed. |
ZF Eccom 4.5 transmission. -
The optional auxiliary drive makes it possible to install a power hydraulics system, allowing transmission of high hydraulic outputs at very low engine speeds
-
For all TRAC VC models
-
Available for top speeds of 25 mph (40 km/h) and 31 mph (50 km/h) in both directions
-

Business class. The cab.
Ultra-convenient reverse-drive system.
The cab on the XERION TRAC VC (Variable Cab) can be rotated through 180° in less than 30 seconds by the press of a button. This new position at the rear of the tractor gives the driver an excellent view of rear-mounted attachments. All the controls move as well – automatically. For tasks such as forage work, chopping wood, snow blowing or mulching, this convenience is unique.
Magnificent view.
The spacious cab offers unbeatable all-round visibility thanks to its large windows and 4-pillar design.
And long working days are no problem with a maximum noise level of 69 dB.
Intelligent suspension.
The new semi-active cab suspension enhances driving comfort in all applications. The dampers are electronically controlled and automatically adjust the suspension to the current driving situation. |
|
Everything in hand. The armrest.
Ergonomic.
The armrest is designed to ensure that the driver's arm and hand remain relaxed and comfortable while controlling the most important functions. Even when operating the CMOTION multifunction control lever, your hand lies on the armrest and does not get tired.
Adaptable.
You can adjust the entire armrest to suit your needs: use the two levers in the middle of the console to move it horizontally and vertically. |
|
A solid foundation. The frame.
Bolted in place.
Bolted is stronger than welded. That's why the frame reinforcements are bolted in place. This further increases the strength and load-carrying capacity.
|
Long wheelbase.
The long wheelbase enhances driving comfort. But the 3.6 m spacing between the axles doesn't just improve operating stability – it also plays a major part in converting engine power into effective tractive power. Two steering axles ensure that the XERION remains manoeuvrable and easy to handle.
|
High load-carrying capacity.
The 110 mm ball hitch behind the cab supports a maximum drawbar load of 15 tonnes. A swanneck connection with mounted implements makes the tractor/implement combination shorter and more manoeuvrable than other attachment systems. The hitch ball absorbs the high loads and distributes them evenly across the entire axles.
|
Tractive power makes all the difference.
The four equal-sized wheels efficiently convert the installed engine power into equal shares of tractive power. Using the wheel slip display and rapidly adjustable engine droop, the driver can quickly find the optimum setting for every job. |
Good distribution.
The tare weight is distributed evenly across both axles even without additional weights. The tractor is easily optimised for every task with a ballasting pack that is available ex factory. 400 kg weights can be installed on the front weight and the rear plate and locked in place. |
Front: fixed or variable.
CLAAS offers two different front weights: one is designed to be fixed permanently in place and one can be attached via the front hydraulics. Both weigh 4,000 lbs (1,800 kg). The ballasting can be increased to 7,500 lbs (3.2 t) by adding four additional weights.
Rear: a range of options.
A 440 lb (200 kg) base plate can be installed over the rear axle by means of a simple locking system. A total weight of 11,000 lbs (3.4 t) can be achieved by installing up to eight additional weights in this way. |
|
Very fast. Maintenance.
Easy Cleanouts: Hydraulic Reversing Fan
The ultra-efficient hydraulic reversing fan in the XERION tractor series saves both power and time. At the push of a button, the fan can provide as reverse blast of air to blow out the radiator core, easily removing dust and debris that impede performance. The result is reduced maintenance time and improved performance. |
 Fast maintenance.
The XERION is highly impressive when it comes to its very minimal maintenance requirements. The servicing interval for transmission, hydraulic and axle oils, for instance, is 1,500 hours. When maintenance does become due, it can be carried out quickly and effortlessly. The engine oil filter is positioned within the full frame for easy access. |
|
Unrivalled deployability.
 -
Oil-change interval for transmission, hydraulic and axle oil: 1,500 hours
-
Easy access to engine oil filter
-
The one-piece hood provides easy access to all service points
-
The new engine air intake system increases the service life of the filter cartridge considerably

XERION Tractors Break Records at Nebraska Tractor Test Lab
The XERION 4500 and XERION 5000 tractors are raising the bar when it comes to efficiency, cab noise, pull-to-weight ratio and more, because these four-wheel-drive tractors broke several records during their evaluation by the Nebraska Tractor Test Lab (NTTL).
The NTTL, based at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, is the officially designated tractor testing station in the U.S. Since 1919, they have tested more than 2,000 tractors, providing independent third-party analysis. |
|
The XERION 4500
The XERION 4500 now holds the record as the most fuel-efficient tractor in the 4WD, 450-500 hp class. Pair that with new records in power-take-off (PTO) hp (hr)/gallon in rated engine speed (18.33), and you’ve got one amazing combination.
 |
|
The XERION 4500 also set a new 25-year record in the ballasted portion of the test, dispelling the belief that tracks necessarily provide more pulling power than tires. The 4WD tractor tested with a higher maximum pull, pull difference and pull-to-weight ratio than a comparable tractor with tracks.
|
The XERION 5000
The XERION 5000 was even quieter than the record-breaking 4500, coming in at just 67.0 decibels.
 |
|
This tractor also did very well in the three-point hitch test, achieving a maximum force of 21,738 pounds in the continuous lift test.
|
|
Head-To-Head Comparisons
Both XERION models competed against top tractors in engine lugging capacity, and both came out on top, setting a record for low engine speed while providing maximum torque. That’s due in large part to the XERION tractor’s ECCOM CVT transmission.
