Strength is more than power.

The XERION 12 CMATIC.

XERION 12.650 / 12.590

Designed to meet the needs of large farms.

The XERION 12 Series completely redefines the top-of-the-range tractor segment up to 650 hp. These new models are the result of over 25 years' experience in the large tractor sector. Featuring remarkably greater strength in terms of tractive power, comfort, assistance services and above all, profitability, they herald a new era. Because strength is more than power.

Strength is more than power.

  • Stronger on profitability – solutions you can rely on.
  • Stronger on tractive power – the smart way to maximise performance.
  • Stronger on comfort – more relaxed, fewer worries.
  • Stronger on assistance – best possible assistance for operators and managers.

Stronger on profitability.

Solutions you can rely on.

We have complete faith in the reliability of our tractors. The XERION needs an engine oil change only once every 1000 operating hours. This means less downtime, leaving you to focus on getting your work done when the time is right.

 

But security of investment also depends on reliable technology. The 15.6 litre Mercedes-Benz engine with an output of up to 653 hp is exceptionally reliable, while an intelligent drive train coupled with the low-speed concept ensures fuel-efficient operation, even under extreme conditions.

  • Help with calculating the total cost of ownership ensures cost transparency
  • CLAAS service and warranty packages (24/7/365) tailored to your needs for complete peace of mind
  • Engine oil change interval of 1,000 operating hours and reliable 15.6-litre Mercedes-Benz engine reduce downtimes
  • The CEMOS assistance system delivers cost savings by optimising machine settings
  • Durable and efficient CMATIC transmission for maximum productivity
  • Intelligent engine and transmission management ensures fuel efficiency

Stronger on tractive power.

The smart way to maximise performance.

The new XERION was designed for heavy draught work. The 6-cylinder Mercedes-Benz engine with 15.6 litre cubic capacity is available in two versions: 653 hp in the XERION 12.650 and 585 hp in the XERION 12.590. It delivers full effective torque of 3100 and 2850 Nm.

 

Need more hydraulic power? You've got it. Up to three hydraulic pumps and eight spool valves deliver a maximum of 537 litres per minute. That's unrivalled in this segment. So even at low engine speeds, the XERION delivers enough oil to operate even the largest of implements with outstanding efficiency.

CMATIC transmission.

Power equals performance.

The reliable continuously variable CMATIC transmission transfers the torque straight to the axles. This means that you are always running at optimum output, whatever the speed. In the new 12 series we have further improved the tried and tested low-speed concept that we first introduced in 1997. As a result, the XERION 12.650 achieves maximum torque of 3100 Nm even at a low engine speed of just 1300 rpm.

CEMOS assistance system.

Optimisation made easy.

To conserve resources, it's also important to match the weight of the machine to the task. CEMOS helps the operator find the correct ballast for every type of field work. The modular concept makes it easy to ballast the XERION and ensures that the machine is only ever as heavy as it needs to be. With the right machine settings and optimal ballast, you can increase your work rate by up to 16.3% during tillage and drilling.

TRAC and TERRA TRAC.

Tractive power, easy on the soil.

With the new XERION you can choose between crawler tracks or dual tyres. The XERION TRAC is the only tractor in this segment with 42-inch dual tyres. They provide the largest contact area for optimal conversion of engine power to tractive power in the field. Alternatively, we have released the very first XERION TERRA TRAC. It features crawler tracks developed by CLAAS specifically for the XERION which efficiently transfer power to the ground. The soil is ultimately your farm's greatest asset. With TERRA TRAC crawler tracks, you can give it the best possible protection.

Stronger on comfort.

More relaxed, fewer worries.

The XERION 12 series sets new standards when it comes to operator comfort too. Having stepped safely inside the cab, you'll find not just an ergonomically optimised seat, but a completely new spatial experience. Perfectly attuned to the needs of the operator, the machine offers almost 4 cubic metres of space – making it the largest cab at the top end of the premium market segment. An intelligent damping concept and the continuously variable CMATIC transmission enhance driving enjoyment – and so ensure optimum results.

Unique suspension concept.

Work the field in comfort.

The XERION has damping and suspension elements in all the crucial areas – protecting the soil and ensuring a comfortable ride.

  • New four-point cab suspension for smooth cab ride
  • Automatic weight adjustment ensures you're always sitting comfortably
  • Armrest mounted on driver's seat for easy control of all functions

Armrest and multifunction control lever.

Everything under control.

We worked with our customers and operators to develop the control concept specifically for large CLAAS tractors. The driver's arm and hand stays in a relaxed position without tiring.

 

  • Fixed to the driver's seat and so moves with it
  • Can be individually adjusted to arm length and angle (tilt and front / rear alignment)
  • All important functions integrated into the armrest
  • Buttons and rotary/push switch beside the CMOTION for additional control of CEBIS content
  • Wide, comfortable armrest

Various footrests.

Relax, whatever position you're in.

You often spend a long time in the field, and it's good to stretch your legs out.

 

  • Footrests to the left and right of the steering column
  • Footrests on the right-hand pillar of the front windscreen
  • Seat rotates 40 degrees to the right, allowing you to stretch your legs out and control your environment in comfort

Plenty of storage compartments.

Ample storage space.

We know you can never have too much storage, so the new XERION cab has plenty of places to store your gear.

 

  • Large cool box under the passenger seat
  • Storage compartments to the left and right of the driver's seat
  • Large drawer under the driver's seat
  • Stowage areas in easy reach next to the armrest
  • Additional storage shelf in the roof
  • Two cup holders to the left and right of the driver's seat

Stronger on assistance.

Best possible assistance for operators and managers.

We know that every minute and every square metre counts at harvest time. The XERION provides the best possible assistance for operators in the field. At the same time, digital solutions from CLAAS help you optimise your business operations. With the new CEMIS 1200 terminal, you can use the GPS PILOT steering system and take care of online task management as well. The dialogue-based CEMOS assistance system helps you to continuously optimise your tractor while work is underway.
