The last Ares models were replaced for the 2010 model year by the Arion 400 series. The engines were 4.5-litre Deere Power Systems units equipped with common‐rail injection, exhaust gas recirculation, and an intercooler. On the CIS versions of each model, there was a power-boost feature: when running in the two highest ranges (above 6 km/h) or when the PTO was engaged, an extra 10 hp was available.

The transmission was the Gima Quadrishift, the same as Massey Ferguson’s Dyna-4. This meant a four-step powershift with an electric range shift; full automatic shifting was offered as an option. The rear three‐point linkage had a lifting capacity of 6.5 tonnes.

The hydraulic system was an open-centre design, supplying 60 l/min in standard form and up to 98 l/min on CIS models thanks to an additional pump. Optionally, two electro‐hydraulic remotes could be fitted. The cab was largely the same as the one on the Ares, and noise levels were 72 dB—lower than those of the larger Arion machines.
