In the basic version, the AXION 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.

In all versions, many functions can be controlled directly using the rotary switches and buttons on the B-pillar:
PTO speed selection
Rear linkage settings
Rear linkage status display
Controls for electronic rear linkage control system
CMOTION multifunction control lever. Everything in hand.
The CMOTION is a CLAAS concept which makes using the main functions of the AXION 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.
Integrated ISOBUS implement control.
In CEBIS intuitively switch between ISOBUS implements, road travel and field work screen layouts
Clear view of ISOBUS implements in main field
Simply connect ISOBUS cable at the front or rear and off you go
Assign up to ten ISOBUS functions to CMOTION function buttons for direct operation
Camera image display function.
Display up to two camera images in the sub-field
Toggle between machine silhouette, Camera 1 and Camera 2 in the main field
Simply more.
CIS+.
Everything to hand.
The height and position of the armrest can easily be adjusted to the driver's requirements.
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 often 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
In the CIS version, the 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.
CIS+ version:
The modern design of the 7" 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.
In both versions, all settings are easily activated using a rotary/push switch and the ESC button on the steering wheel.
Ergonomics and comfort for optimum working conditions.
First-class comfort.
The AXION 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.
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.
The tinted rear window (optional) helps maintain a comfortable cab environment and reduces glare when you're working in the low evening sun.
Full 4-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. The entire suspension system is completely maintenance-free.
PROACTIV front axle suspension – complete comfort automatically.
The suspension adjusts to tractor loading and automatically remains in the central position. Changes in load due to braking and turning manoeuvres are also compensated for. Parallelogram axle suspension and 85 mm spring travel guarantee a smooth ride.
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.
