As the successor to the AXION 900 large tractors, the new CLAAS AXION 9 series sets new standards in comfort, automation and connectivity, and have been developed with the aim of delivering maximum performance even more efficiently and economically in the field and on the road.

Sophisticated and further optimised hardware such as the engine, gearbox and axles are combined with a completely redesigned cab, a new electronic infrastructure and a wide range of new assistance systems up to Level 2 Autonomy.

CEMOS AUTO DROOP

Powered by the latest generation 8.7 litre FPT Cursor 9 six-cylinder engine, maximum power output for the five wheeled AXION 9 and two AXION 9 TERRA TRAC models range from 330 to 450 hp and maximum torque of 1,571 to 1,850 Nm. The new CEMOS AUTO DROOP function optimally adjusts the engine droop to the current task and the power required in the power train, power take-off shaft and working hydraulics, ensuring optimum power delivery and maximum efficiency at all times. When idling, the speed is reduced to 650 rpm and CEMOS operator assistance comes as standard.

CMATIC drive with Auto Load Anticipation

The AXION 9 series also embeds proven, sophisticated hardware in the continuously variable power split drives. The new  award winning Auto Load Anticipation function is groundbreaking. Auto Load Anticipation detects load jumps – such as when lowering an attachment into the ground – in advance and proactively increases the engine speed before the load jump occurs. This keeps driving behaviour stable even during dynamic changes and prevents speed drops. Other functions regulate engine speed and transmission ratio depending on load, driving speed and hydraulic requirements. This ensures that the required power is provided under all conditions of use with minimum fuel consumption.

Premium operator comfort at just 66db(A)

Another highlight of the new AXION 9 series is the completely redesigned cab. With a volume of around three cubic metres, it offers a new sense of space and plenty of room for premium driver’s seats, passenger seats and storage compartments. Access to the four-pillar cab has been optimised and is now the widest in this tractor class.

At just 66 db(A), the new cab of the AXION 9 is also one of the quietest on the market and the high quality materials and surfaces, combined with premium driver’s seats all contribute to high levels of comfort over long working days. In addition to special sound-insulating glazing, a reduction in pump noise from the gearbox has also contributed to this. In addition, the quality of work or process progress can be monitored via three integrated cameras with the ability to zoom in and out of high-resolution camera images on the new CEBIS connect terminal and to pan the camera in the required direction with a swipe of the finger.

No shortage of hydraulic capacity

The hydraulics of the new AXION 9 also set new standards with a delivery volume of up to 370 l/min, which is achieved by the standard pump with 220 l/min and an additional optional pump with 150 l/min. In both equipment variants, up to six double-acting control circuits can be supplied at the rear, as well as front-mounted implements with up to two double-acting control circuits. Thanks to ¾-inch connections at the rear, up to 170 l/min can be supplied through a single line.

50 per cent less service time and up to 8 years warranty

It is not only the extended engine maintenance intervals to 750 hours that simplify maintenance and reduce running costs. In addition, maintenance-related downtime can be reduced by 50 per cent. Almost all replacement intervals – from the oil in the front axle to the cab filter – have been extended by several hundred operating hours. The oil change interval for the CMATIC gearbox has even been extended from 600 to 1,500 operating hours.

To make service even easier, a central lubrication system continuously supplies the front axle and, on the AXION 9 TERRA TRAC, the lubrication points of the TERRA TRAC drive wheels with lubricant.

MAXI CARE FOCUS for the AXION 9 provides new component warranty on the driveline for five years or 5,000 operating hours. MAXI CARE PROTECT goes one step further: this warranty extension covers all claims included in the statutory warranty for a period of up to eight years or 8,000 operating hours – including the cost of original CLAAS spare parts, operating materials and repair work.

Digitally connected with CLAAS connect.

From machine configuration, purchase processing, access to product documentation and the lubricant guide, to maintenance planning and documentation, cross-manufacturer fleet management, application maps and other smart farming applications: depending on the licence for the new AXION 9, CLAAS connect enables comprehensive networking with automated documentation and access from the office or via a mobile device while on the move. Basic services such as machine position, machine performance data, lubricant guide and direct access to the CLAAS Parts Shop for ordering suitable wear and spare parts can be significantly expanded with Farm connect, Fleet connect and Field connect licences.
