Visctronic – efficient fan control.The electronic Visctronic fan control allows the fan speed to be precisely adjusted to the load and engine temperature, ensuring that the engine can always be run at an ideal temperature. The reduced fan speed lowers the noise level and saves valuable fuel with no unnecessary impact on output, which can then be converted into tractive power.

Constant output.The CLAAS-specific engine performance curve provides full torque in a wide engine speed range, guaranteeing constant output and power delivery when they are needed. This makes it easy to save fuel while working at a low engine speed and maximum torque with the ECO PTO, or to work at rated speed with a full reserve.

Full potential in any situation.The multiple uses of a tractor in this class demand full potential in every speed range. AXION power is always available, even from a standing start. And the ECO PTO is designed to work at full torque and maximum output.

CMATIC is the name of the continuously variable transmission technology used in CLAAS tractors. In the AXION 900 series a ZF Eccom transmission provides efficient conversion of engine power. In this split-power, continuously variable transmission, the four mechanical ranges are automatically selected by multidisc clutches. There is no need to shift between ranges manually.

The high mechanical component of the CMATIC transmission provides outstanding efficiency and low fuel consumption in every speed range.

For instance, when working in the field at between 7 and 15 km/h in the main operating range, the CMATIC transmission averages over 80% mechanical power transmission, far superior to other continuously variable transmissions on the market.

And for transport operations on the road, it will be averaging 90% mechanical power transmission, a clear advantage in terms of fuel consumption.

Exploiting real potential.With engine speeds of 1,600 rpm at a top speed of 50 km/h and 1,500 rpm at 40 km/h, the AXION 900 also demonstrates its capabilities in transport operations.

If the accelerator is not depressed, the transmission is in powered zero mode and maintains its position without creeping or rolling. This means that the tractor can start up safely and easily at steep field entrances or road junctions, even with a full load.

Accelerator pedal or CMOTION.A button in the armrest enables the driver to switch between modes while the tractor is moving. However, manual mode can be activated only in CEBIS. In manual mode, the driver chooses the engine speed and transmission ratio. Automatic engine and transmission control is not active. The active mode at any given time is displayed on the CEBIS.

CLAAS has drawn on experience gained in developing standard tractors and XERION high-horsepower tractors delivering 500 hp or more to create a completely new solution for the AXION 900 – for endurance work under extremely challenging conditions. The engine is housed in a strong frame section with an integrated engine oil sump which perfectly absorbs all the forces associated with the front linkage and front axle carrier.

In practice, this means:

• excellent steering lock angle for maximum manoeuvrability
• optimum access to the entire engine compartment and all maintenance points
• high ground clearance with drive shaft integrated into the frame section with a bolted cover for protection
• all services securely routed within the frame section

Long wheelbase – compact design.To transfer 400 hp to the ground, the design must be just right. The AXION 900 ticks all the boxes. It has a wheelbase of 3.15 m, but its outstanding design makes it manoeuvrable in the field and easy to drive on the road. And naturally, its overall length with an implement attached remains within the legal limits.

Additional front ballast is not needed for many tasks – particularly transport operations – as the long wheelbase and optimum weight distribution transfer the tractor's tractive power to the ground. This saves fuel and reduces tyre wear on the road.

A broad base.

• Rear tyres up to 900 mm wide and 2.15 m in diameter
• Front tyres up to 1.7 m in diameter
• Factory-fitted dual tyres with flange mounting¹

¹ Dual tyres are not available in all countries. Please refer to your dealer's price list..

Safe braking.All AXION 900 models have a permissible total weight of 18 t in the 40 km/h and 50 km/h versions. In the 50 km/h version the front axles are fitted with disc brakes as standard. The front axle of the 40 km/h version can also be fitted with disc brakes as an option. The braking system on the front and rear axles provides maximum safety and stability on braking.

Fully balanced.With so many front and rear axle ballast options, the AXION 900 is easily adapted to every application. This is the way to exploit its full performance potential without unnecessary losses.

Wheel weights per rear axle wheel, in kg

All AXION 900 models have a maximum lift capacity of 11 t which enables them to carry the heaviest of implements. The configuration of the rear hydraulic system can be tailored to individual requirements:

• Cat. III or Cat. IV lower links
• Mechanical or hydraulic top link, Cat. III or Cat. IV
• Manual or automatic stabilisers available for both lower links
• Wheel slip control available
• External controls on both mudguards

Direct adjustment.The main rear linkage functions are directly accessed via push buttons and dials on the right-hand B-pillar:

• Raise and lower
• Vibration damping on / off
• Lock linkage
• Activate slip control
• Lift height limiter
• Lowering speed
• Draught and position control
• Adjustment of wheel slip control

The rear linkage can be moved to the pre-set working depth or transport position at the touch of a button on the CMOTION. The current position can be changed manually at any time via a two-stage incremental adjustment system. The linkage moves back to the pre-set position when the working position is activated again.

Front linkage.All AXION 900 models can be factory-fitted with two different front linkages:

• 5.0 t for implements and ballasting
• 6.5 t for particularly heavy implements

The modular construction makes retrofitting straightforward.

Compact dimensions.The AXION 900 series is the first to have a fully integrated front linkage, designed specifically for this power class.The front axle carrier and the special structural component for the engine are designed to absorb any forces generated, meaning no additional supports or rails are required.

• Short distance between front axle and coupling points
• Good implement handling and short overall length

Position control for the front linkage.The optional front linkage position control system enables front-mounted implements to work extremely accurately. The working depth is adjusted via a rotary knob on the armrest, while the lift height can be limited and the lifting and lowering speed set using CEBIS. The front linkage can be used in single- or double-acting mode.

The AXION 900 has a load-sensing hydraulic system with flow volumes of 150 l/min or 220 l/min. It has up to six electronic spool valves at the rear and a maximum of two for front mounting. All spool valves have time and volume control and are suitable for continuous flow volumes during non-stop operation.

The hydraulics are controlled by proportional rocker switches in the armrest, or via the ELECTROPILOT or the CMOTION. One spool valve can be assigned to the function buttons on the CMOTION.

External controls at the rear and on the front linkage can also be assigned to any spool valve.

Standing start.The AXION 900 transfers its full power from a standing start and at low forward speeds.

In ECO mode over 90% of maximum engine power (e.g. 385 hp in the AXION 950) can be transmitted via the PTO shaft, enabling even heavy implements to be operated at a reduced engine speed.

Rotational speeds:

• 1,000 rpm ECO at 1,600 engine rpm
• 540 rpm ECO at 1,450 engine rpm

In 1000 ECO mode the engine can operate at the optimum engine speed. Four bolt-on PTO stubs ensure that the AXION 900 can be adapted to any implement.

The special arrangement of the rear cab pillars gives the driver an excellent view of the implement and hitch area. The convex rear window also provides a clear view of the rear coupling points, allowing safe, accurate implement attachment.

Clear and well-designed.When you press the small pedal underneath the steering column, the entire steering column folds out of the way, allowing plenty of room to enter and leave the cab. The column can be returned to the optimum position when you start work. Fully adjustable steering column with tilt and telescope.

The instrument panel is always in full view because it is mounted on the steering column and moves with it. This makes it easy to read all the key information, even during transport operations on the road. Engine temperature, fuel tank level, compressed air supply and travel speed are all available here, as well as on the CEBIS monitor. The curved design of the instrument panel provides an excellent view of all displays.

For optimum working conditions.All AXION 900 models have air conditioning as standard. The components of the air conditioning system are built into the double-insulated cab floor. This arrangement allows optimum air flow distribution in the cab and significantly reduces the noise level from the air conditioning system. A fully automatic climate control system is available in addition to manual control.

With four suspension points, the cab is fully isolated from the chassis so impacts and vibration do not reach the driver. The combination of springs and dampers creates long suspension travel and operates very effectively thanks to precise adjustment. The entire suspension system is completely maintenance-free.

PROACTIVE front axle suspension – complete comfort, automatically.The suspension adjusts to tractor loading and automatically remains in the central position. Changes in load due to braking and turning manoeuvres are also compensated. Parallelogram axle suspension and 90 mm spring travel guarantee a smooth ride, and the robust construction means that dual tyres can be used.

Top-quality seats.Three different seats are available – from the air-sprung seat to the premium seat with heating and ventilation. All the seats are from Grammer or Sears. In the seat with active suspension, the suspension is controlled by a sensor which measures the current position and acceleration.

Ventilated and warm: the premium seat.

• Heating and active ventilation make the seat feel good whatever the weather

• Suspension automatically adjusts to the driver's weight

The cooler compartment under the passenger seat has room for two 1.5-litre bottles and snacks.

Everything just where it should be.

2. Rear linkage settings
3. Rear linkage status display
4. Operation of the electronic linkage control (ELC)

CMOTION multifunction control lever.The CMOTION makes using the main functions of the AXION 900 more convenient and more efficient. Functions are controlled using your thumb and forefingers, allowing your arm to rest comfortably on the padded armrest and preventing fatigue. The height and position of the padded armrest are adjustable.

The long oil change intervals (engine 600 h, transmission and hydraulics 1,200 h) save a great deal of time and money. This means that less valuable working time is lost during the season and the tractor is where it should be – at work.

The battery is housed in a storage compartment on the left-hand side of the tractor. An automatic main battery switch cuts the power supply 90 s after the engine is switched off.
