Turbocharger with variable geometry (VGT).For high torque, even at low engine speeds, the turbine blades are adjusted depending on speed and load. This means no more 'turbo lag'.

CLAAS POWER MANAGEMENT (CPM).All AXION 800 models are fitted with the innovative CPM. Depending on the tractive power requirement, PTO output or hydraulic power decrease, up to 35 hp additional engine output will be gradually released under the following conditions:

  • Transmission in range C or D (C1 = 6 km/h)
  • If hydraulic output is decreasing
  • If PTO output is decreasing

The CPM releases the additional boost power in six stages, so it never releases more fuel-hungry power than is actually required.

Transmission.

Th HEXASHIFT powershift transmission.

It supports you with the best high technology. Thanks to HEXASHIFT and the DRIVESTICK, you can shift effortlessly through all six powershift speeds and the four ranges using your fingertips, or shift automatically using the HEXACTIV powershift unit.

Short overall length. Long wheelbase at 2.98 m.

Short overall length for:

  • good manoeuvrability
  • short trailer combination on the road
  • good visibility
  • good guidance of front-mounted implements


Long wheelbase for:

  • high level of driving comfort
  • directional stability
  • higher tractive power
  • good and secure road holding
  • higher lifting power

Optimum weight distribution.

Wide range of applications. Up to 35 hp usable boost power:

  • Wide range of applications. Up to 35 hp usable boost power:
  • From 6.0 km/h during tillage
  • During drilling – heavy PTO work
  • During trailer and transport jobs
  • During baling


A low power-to-weight ratio:

  • For low fuel consumption during light work
  • For low ground pressure during field maintenance
  • For dynamic road transport
  • For greater flexibility: the power-to-weight ratio can be increased through ballasting if higher traction is required.
  • For a high load capacity
  • Weight distribution with front ballasting: front / rear 50% / 50%

Make use of the tractive power built into the AXION 800:

  • Rear axle tyres up to 2.05 m in diameter
  • Up to 400 kg wheel weights per rear wheel
  • Flanged axle or 2.5 and 3 m adjustable axle
  • Configured for dual wheels at the factory (dual wheels on front axle only available with AXION 850)
  • High chassis efficiency with careful matching of transmission and rear axle
  • Good weight distribution and a long wheelbase
  • Factory-fitted front ballast up to 900 kg


A tractor can never apply a tractive force in excess of its weight. However, ballasting enables the AXION 800 to perform even better during traction work.

Front and rear linkage.

The lifting power of a 300 hp tractor.

The control concept for the rear hydraulics with 10 t maximum lift capacity was designed specifically for the AXION 800 with a strong focus on practicality:

  • Draught control
  • Position control
  • Wheel slip control
  • Straightforward operation
  • Automatic PTO engagement/disengagement

A fully integrated front linkage. And it's factory-fitted.When developing the AXION 800, a fully integrated front linkage with up to 5.4 t lift capacity and a front PTO shaft were envisaged from the outset. Accordingly, this version is available ex factory, and offers many advantages when compared with more conventional retrofitting solutions.

Benefits of the integrated front linkage:

  • Perfect transfer of force to the tractor
  • High lift capacity Integrated front PTO
  • Integrated hydraulic and electric connections
  • Two lift capacity options (3.3 t and 5.4 t)

The new lighting concept turns night into day.
Up to 14 work lamps (including four Xenon spotlights which are available as an option) ensure that every nook and cranny will be perfectly illuminated. That means you can decide quickly and individually where to shine a light.

Well-positioned steps and handles provide safe and convenient access to the cab

Comfort and convenience.

Protects both operator and machine.

No matter how rough the terrain, the AXION 800 ensures that you won't feel a thing – because it's the only tractor in this performance range with a 4-point fully suspended cab. But this is just one example of a suspension concept which is exemplary in every way.

The driver's seat is pneumatically suspended and supports your back – even during long working days. Front and rear linkage are vibration-dampedThe sprung front axle absorbs vibrations right from the outset.

Benefits provided by CLAAS comfort:

  • Relaxed and motivated drivers
  • Higher speed, thanks to cab suspension
  • Significant reduction in back and muscle strain
  • Good productivity, by day, in the evening and at night
  • Logical layout of controls avoids operating errors

The four-point cab suspension.The cab suspension makes a crucial difference: vertical and horizontal vibration is effectively absorbed at four points. This full suspension system is exclusively offered by CLAAS, so that nothing will compromise your driving enjoyment.

Well informed. CIS.

Nothing can shake an AXION 800 driver.

  1. Rear linkage operation
  2. DRIVESTICK for operating the HEXASHIFT
  3. Hand throttle
  4. Activation of HEXACTIV automatic transmission and push switch for two stored engine speeds
  5. F1 and F2 functions
  6. Rear linkage height adjustment
  7. Control of up to four mechanical spool valves

The ergonomic armrest.The multifunction armrest has been designed for optimum ergonomics and is the key to relaxed and effective working. It's the result of extensive analyses of the operating processes in the cab: frequently required functions are located on the multifunction armrest, while those required less frequently are located on the right-hand side console.

The unique DRIVESTICK.The DRIVESTICK handles intuitively and gives you full control of the HEXASHIFT transmission. Complex and cumbersome shifting operations are a thing of the past. All you need is nimble fingers to shift as you please.

  1. Shifting operation, powershift speeds + / –
  2. Shifting operation, range + / –
  3. Hold the DRIVESTICK in the first position to continue shifting

The CLAAS INFORMATION SYSTEM (CIS).In standard machines, the CIS display is built into the instrument panel. The additional HEXASHIFT display on the A-pillar shows all the information relating to the transmission at a glance.

The modern design of the 7-inch colour CIS display on the A-pillar provides the driver with full information about the transmission, electronic spool valves and F buttons. This colour CIS display shows the settings in the lower part of the screen. The logical, menu-guided interface and clear symbols make navigation very simple.

ISOBUS.

Even greater control.

Sockets are provided at the front and rear so that ISOBUS-compatible implements can be connected to the tractor.

The ISOBUS terminal can be connected up in the cab using another socket.

The attached implement is controlled by means of a machine-specific screen.

CLAAS steering systems.

Always on the right track.

CLAAS steering systems take the pressure off the driver. They show in advance which direction to take, or automatically steer the tractor along the best possible path. Mistakes and overlapping are eliminated. Studies have shown that a modern parallel guidance system can save up to 7% on diesel fuel, machine costs, fertiliser and crop protection products.

Maintenance.

Shorter maintenance times. Longer service intervals.

The AXION 800 clearly comes up trumps in terms of maintenance. The one-piece bonnet allows you easy access to all the important service and maintenance points, and easy exchange of parts. This means that all maintenance operations can be conducted with just a few simple steps.

  • Simple oil check
  • Easy to top up
  • Quick cleaning or replacement of the air filter
  • Straightforward cleaning of the cab air filter
  • Each access to each radiator
  • Good access to the engine oil and diesel oil filter
