The XERION tractor series

Strength is more than just power.

The XERION 12 Series 

The 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 segment. They feature remarkably greater strength in terms of ground traction, operator comfort, smart farming and above all, profitability, they herald a new era. 

The XERION 5000-4500 

There are two versions with one unique build concept. No comparison possible. You’d recognize it instantly: four equal-sized wheels on two steered axles, full-frame construction for carrying heavy loads, continuously variable transmission up to 530 hp and the intuitive operation that you only get from CLAAS.
