Greater comfort means higher productivity.
Spacious and quiet, with large windows and full suspension. The cabs on ARION 600 / 500 tractors guarantee maximum comfort throughout long working days and are available in two versions with a 5- or 4-pillar design.
In the basic version, the ARION has mechanical spool valves and the CLAAS INFORMATION SYSTEM (CIS). The CIS display features a compact design and outstanding control ergonomics: all settings are easily activated using a rotary/push switch and the ESC button. Two electronic spool valves for the front loader are also available as an option in the CIS version and are operated via the ELECTROPILOT on the armrest.
CIS+ affords impressive ease of use and an intuitive design. Despite its pleasing simplicity, it has all the necessary functionality and the automatic functions needed for effective, effortless operation. CIS+ is also available with a continuously variable CMATIC or HEXASHIFT powershift transmission. The 7" CIS colour display built into the A-pillar combines display and setting options for the transmission, electronic spool valves, F buttons and CSM headland management.
With the HEXASHIFT or CMATIC transmission, the CEBIS version features electronic spool valves and the superb CEBIS terminal with a 12" touchscreen display. As well as enhanced automatic functions such as CSM headland management, camera image, ISOBUS implement control, CEMOS for tractors and spool valve prioritisation, it also offers many other functions – CEBIS meets your every need. All settings can be entered in seconds thanks to touchscreen operation and logical menu navigation.

An instinct for excellence – HEXASHIFT operation.
The unique DRIVESTICK handles intuitively and gives 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.
The perfectly 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.
A question of settings.
Each spool valve has its own rotary switch. The function options for each spool valve are selected using the rotary switch allocated to it:
Rotary switch in position IIII: Pressure – / Neutral / Pressure + / Float position
Rotary switch in position III: Pressure – / Neutral / Pressure +
Rotary switch in lock position: Spool valve locked in pressure position for permanent operation or in neutral position
All the main controls are integrated into the right-hand armrest:
CMOTION multifunction control lever
Control panel for drive mode, range changing and two engine speed memories with fine adjustment
CEBIS terminal with 12" touchscreen
ELECTROPILOT with two double-acting spool valves and two F buttons

CMOTION multifunction control lever.
Everything at your fingertips.
The CMOTION is a CLAAS concept which makes using the main functions of the ARION easier and more efficient. Functions are controlled using your thumb and forefingers, allowing your hand to stay in one place for the majority of time and preventing fatigue.
CEBIS terminal.
Clear layout and fast operation.
The 12" CEBIS screen uses self-explanatory symbols and colour coding to give a clear picture of the settings and operating statuses. Thanks to the CEBIS menu structure and touchscreen, all settings can be entered in just a few steps. A particularly attractive feature is the DIRECT ACCESS function with the machine silhouette. Just tap the relevant area to get straight to the right dialogue window.

First-class comfort.
Ergonomics and comfort for optimum working conditions
The ARION has several practical features which make it the ideal choice for long working days. A large number of storage options means that the driver can always find space for a mobile phone or documents. Under the passenger seat there is a cooler compartment which has room for two 1.5 litre bottles and snacks. Perfect for your lunch break.
If you're still working when it goes dark, the work lights will light up the whole of the area around the machine, so you can see exactly what you're doing. For even more demanding situations, up to 14 LED work lights and four LED road lights can illuminate the entire surroundings of the ARION almost as brightly as daylight.
A pleasant working environment.
All ARION models are fitted as standard with air conditioning and, optionally, with a category 3 filter. All components are built into the double-insulated cab floor to ensure quiet operation.
Clear and logical layout.
The instrumental panel is mounted on a fully adjustable steering column. It pivots with the column to give an unimpeded view of the controls at all times.
Illuminated interior.
When the road lights are switched on, all the controls and the symbols on all the switches are illuminated. You have the option to select a darker colour scheme in CEBIS.
Leather on request.
The driver and passenger seat are available with modern, non-slip fabric or elegant, easy-care leather upholstery
Sockets in easy reach.
All the sockets for the power supply as well as ISOBUS sockets for additional terminals are located under the right console.
Bluetooth connection.
The built-in Bluetooth handsfree device with external microphone allows you to make clear calls from the comfort of your cab.
More fresh air.
Choose between a front-opening transparent sunroof or a rear-opening roof hatch.
Wide-angle for better visibility.
As well as the large standard mirror, a wide-angle mirror for improved road safety is supplied as standard.
Non-slip leather steering wheel.
The robust leather steering wheel provides a secure grip and an uninterrupted view of the instrument panel whatever position it's in.
Tinted rear window.
Tinted rear window (optional) help maintain a comfortable cab environment and reduces glare when you're working in the low evening sun.
Full four-way suspension.
Four suspension points mean that the cab is fully isolated from the chassis, preventing impacts and vibration from reaching the driver. Longitudinal and lateral struts join the suspension points and keep the cab stable when turning corners or braking. An adjustable torsion strut makes it possible to choose between three different suspension hardnesses. The entire suspension system is completely maintenance-free.
PROACTIV front axle suspension.
The CLAAS suspension kinematics in ARION 600 / 500 tractors produce outstanding drive characteristics. Widely spaced suspension cylinders and active roll stabilisation on bends guarantee vehicle stability and safety, while the double-acting suspension with load change compensation and 100 mm suspension travel deliver outstanding ride comfort.
Vibration damping.
Heavy implements mounted on the front put a strain on the tractor as well as the driver. The front and rear linkage are both equipped with vibration damping to compensate for peak loads during transport operations and when the attached implement is raised at the headland.
