Claas entered the competition for the largest standard-model tractors in autumn 2011 with the Axion 900 series. The engine was FPT’s 8.7-liter Cursor 9, using SCR technology. The top model delivered 410 hp. The transmission was ZF’s stepless Eccom 3.0, which Claas branded as CMATIC. A speed of 50 km/h was reached at 1,600 rpm. Around 10 km/h, nearly 100% of the powertrain was mechanical. The hydraulic output was 150 liters per minute as standard, and lifting capacity was 11 tons.

The cab was a completely new four-post design. Almost all controls were concentrated on the armrest, which also housed the CEBIS display and a joystick similar to that on the Xerion. The cab’s coil-spring suspension offered 10 cm of travel. DLG measured the noise level at 75.7 dB.
