The international showcase, that is Agritechnica, is currently being held in Germany. As the world’s leading agricultural machinery and technology event, new product developments take centre stage.
We are pleased to announce new additions to the CLAAS range, which will be available in our markets from as early as 2026 for selected models, with further introductions throughout the next two years.
CLAAS Tractors
AXION 9
Awarded 2025 Tractor of the Year at Agrictechnica, CLAAS unveiled the AXION 9 high-horsepower tractor, as the successor to the AXION 900 large tractors.

The five-wheeled and two TERRA TRAC crawler tractors set new standards in comfort, automation and connectivity. They were developed to deliver maximum performance, more efficiently, and be economical in the field and on the road for large farms and contractors. Sophisticated and further optimised hardware, such as the engine, gearbox and axles, is combined with a completely redesigned cab, a new electronic infrastructure and a wide range of new assistance systems up to Level 2 Autonomy.
Highlights include:
– Optimised power train with dynamic AUTO DROOP pressure and predictive, adaptive power train management with Auto Load Anticipation (Silver Agritechnica Innovation Award).
– High-performance hydraulics with up to 370 l/min total flow; up to 170 l/min via ¾ inch connections to a consumer.
– Premium driver’s seats with seat ventilation, seat heater and massage function; can be rotated 40 degrees to the right and 10 degrees to the left.
– 50 per cent less service time thanks to extended maintenance intervals.
– New CEBIS connect including GPS PILOT steering system for flexible terminal use and configuration in the cab.

ARION 6
CLAAS launched the new ARION 6 series at Agritechnica. Based on the mature and popular current range, whose flagship ARION 660 CMATIC in 2024 was not only a finalist in the Tractor of the Year, but has also been the best-selling model in the CLAAS tractor range for several years in a row.
The top-of-the-range ARION 6.190 CMATIC model will initially be introduced and offered alongside the ARION 660 CMATIC at the start of the new model series in 2026.
The new ARION 6 is designed with premium comfort and a smart power train for maximum performance and driver relief. Exclusive comfort features include premium driver’s seats with massage function, a high-end multimedia system with wireless smartphone connection and Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, as well as a new lighting concept.
Highlights include:
– ARION 6 series with ARION 6.190 CMATIC top model from spring 2026 – parallel to the ARION 660 CMATIC.

CLAAS Greenline
Cubix – Square Baler
CLAAS released the CUBIX at Agritechnica; a Gold award-winning next-generation square baler with a revolutionary drive concept. The CUBIX will herald a new era in square balers, as an addition to the QUADRANT product range. With a channel size of 120 x 90 cm,CUBIX is expected to go into production late in 2027, with the possibility of limited units becoming available early in 2028
The next-generation square baler is constructed with a revolutionary drive concept, AI-supported bale density control and an innovative double-loop knotter. The CUBIX, combines high throughput with consistently high bale densities. In practice, this new concept achieves a throughput of up to 70 t/h when baling straw (up to 50 t/h with FINECUT cutterbar) and consistent bale densities of 210 kg/m³, peaking at up to 235 kg/m³.

Quadrant Baler
CLAAS presented a NIGHT EDITION of the QUADRANT EVOLUTION square baler for the first time on its stand at Agritechnica. The limited-edition special series for the QUADRANT 5300 FC EVOLUTION and the QUADRANT 5200 FC EVOLUTION with FINECUT cutterbar is visually characterised by dark grey rims and dark grey coverings in the flywheel and knotter areas, accentuated by NIGHT EDITION emblems on the side flaps.

New DISCO 1100 DIRECT SWATHER
Building on decades of experience with swath augers in the DIRECT DISC forage harvester header, CLAAS introduced its first large-scale mower with swath augers in 2024 with the DISCO 9300 DIRECT SWATHER. With the DISCO 1100 DIRECT SWATHER, an even more powerful mower with a working width of up to 10.70 m is now being introduced, which can be used in conjunction with the four-rotor swather to create a swath with a working width of up to 21 m and thus optimally utilise even the most powerful forage harvesters.
Thanks to the absence of conditioners, the DISCO 1100 DIRECT SWATHER can be operated with tractors from 220 hp and is therefore extremely economical. The range of applications extends from high-yielding green rye for biogas and forage production to the gentle mowing of lucerne and low growth rates in grassland cuts. The DISCO 1100 DS isn’t expected until spring 2027 for our Trans-Tasman market.

CLAAS LEXION nutrient analysis
There is a growing demand for nutrient analysis using NIR sensor technology in grain harvest. From model year 2026 onwards, the new NUTRIMETER GRAIN from CLAAS will therefore make precise ingredient determination available on the LEXION combine harvester for the first time.
The NUTRIMETER GRAIN is the first transmissive NIR measurement system for combine harvesters that enables online measurement of grain ingredients during harvesting operations. To achieve this, the cuvette transmission method for stationary centres, which has proven itself in laboratory equipment, has been further developed into a continuously operating throughput method. In contrast to the previously standard reflection method, which only measures the surface of the centres, the transmissive method measures the ingredients homogeneously through all layers of the centres.
The measured values are displayed in the CEBIS terminal in the cab of the LEXION and also transferred to the CLAAS connect portal. The data documented there can be used for subsequent storage, marketing and process planning. Since the data is already available during harvest in the field, different quality batches with different protein contents can, for example, be sorted specifically during unloading, transported away from the field separately and stored in sorted batches.
