¹Only available with the ARION 460 M, 450 M and 420 M

Superb visibility with the PANORAMIC cab.

Ideal for all front-loader work: the continuous field of view covers a 90° angle from the driver's perspective. This unique cab design has no cross beams to get in the way and offers an extremely high level of safety and comfort. From the floor through to the roof, the continuous 2.41 m ² glass front guarantees optimum visibility.

Standard

NEW: high standard. Simply good.

In the basic version, the ARION features mechanical spool valves (2) and operation of the transmission from the multipad (1) on the right-hand console. With numerous other equipment options to choose from, you can select exactly the right set-up for your main application: HEXASHIFT transmission for frequent road use or FLEXPILOT for front loader operations. Concentrate on what's important.

CIS version

NEW: CIS. Simply more.

If you want more setting options from the ARION 400 even with mechanical spool valves (2), the CIS version is the way to go. The multifunction control lever (1) built into the armrest offers greater convenience. With the CIS display (3) and additional transmission display (4), you can see all the settings at a glance. The CIS version is also available with two electronic spool valves which can be used to control the front loader, front linkage or an additional spool valve at the rear.

CIS+ version

NEW: CIS+. Simply everything.

With the multifunction control lever (1) and electronic spool valves (2), CIS+ offers outstanding convenience and intuitive design. Despite its pleasing simplicity, it has all the necessary functionality and the automatic functions needed for effective, effortless operation. The 7" CIS colour display (3) built into the A-pillar combines display and setting options for the transmission, electronic spool valves, F buttons and CSM headland management. The CIS+ is everything you could wish for.

Your right arm lies comfortably on the armrest while you control all the frequently used functions of your ARION 400 with utmost convenience using the multifunction control lever. The height and position of the armrest can easily be adjusted to the driver's requirements.

The four-way control function of the multifunction control lever also allows two spool valves to be operated simultaneously: either via the hydraulically pilot-controlled FLEXPILOT function for the front loader or via the ELECTROPILOT function for different electronic spool valves, such as the front loader, front linkage and rear spool valves.

The four freely programmable function buttons offer even greater operational flexibility. You can assign the F buttons to the appropriate functions for the job in hand, allowing you to operate the front loader, ISOBUS, spool valves or CSM without repositioning your hand.

Features of the multifunction control lever:

1. Rocker switch to control the powershift speeds and ranges of the QUADRISHIFT or HEXASHIFT transmission
2. Activate the ELECTROPILOT 4-way control lever function of the multifunction control lever
3. Switch between electronic spool valves available on the multifunction control lever
4. Headland gear
5. Engine speed memory or cruise control
6. Rear linkage or function buttons F1 / F2
7. Function buttons F3 / F4
8. ELECTROPILOT or FLEXPILOT spool valve operation
9. ELECTROPILOT or FLEXPILOT spool valve operation

Everything in hand.

You can select all forward and reverse gears with a one finger using the two-stage rocker switch on the multifunction control lever, without touching the clutch pedal:

Stage (blue): shift powershift speeds up and down Stage (green): shift ranges up and down

Stage (blue) and button (orange) at the same time: REVERSHIFT clutchless reverser

The multipad.

The multipad combines all key functions in a compact control panel on the right-hand console. Its ergonomic design keeps the hand in a relaxed position, giving you flexible control of the ARION 400 even at the headland.

Features of the multipad:

1. "+" and "–" buttons to control the powershift speeds and ranges of the QUADRISHIFT or HEXASHIFT transmission
2. Engine speed memory or cruise control
3. Activate QUADRACTIV or HEXACTIV auto-shift
4. Rear linkage
5. Activate GPS PILOT automatic steering system
6. Manual hand throttle
7. Slide controller for depth control of the rear linkage

CIS and CIS colour display

The colour CLAAS INFORMATION SYSTEM (CIS).

The modern design of the 7-inch 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.

The CLAAS INFORMATION SYSTEM (CIS).

In this equipment option, the CIS display is built into the instrument panel. Thanks to the self-explanatory, menu-guided interface and icons, even inexperienced drivers can find the right settings with ease. The additional transmission display on the A-pillar shows all the information about the transmission at a glance. The settings for both displays can be selected conveniently using a rotary/push switch and the ESC button on the steering wheel.

The following functions can be set using the CIS:

• Start-up and approach gears for the transmission
• Shift points for the HEXACTIV or QUADRACTIV auto-shift
• Progressivity of the REVERSHIFT clutchless reverser
• Independent forward and reverse gears
• Time and volume settings or responsiveness for the electronic spool valves
• On-board computer functions such as area covered, fuel consumption, area output
• Maintenance interval display

Comfortable and safe – right from the start.

The 6-pillar cab design allows the door to open wide with little overhang. This makes it easier to access the cab and protects the door from damage.

PROACTIV front axle suspension. Complete comfort automatically.

Independent wheel suspension and 90 mm spring travel guarantee a very smooth ride. The suspension adjusts to tractor loading and automatically remains in the central position. It also compensates for changes in load due to braking and turning manoeuvres.

Vibration damping at front and rear.

Heavy implements mounted on the front and rear put a strain on the tractor as well as the driver. Both the front and rear linkage are equipped with vibration damping to compensate for peak loads.

Cab suspension for enhanced comfort.

The mechanical 2-point cab suspension available in the ARION 470-430 offers greater driving comfort in every situation. And the entire suspension system is completely maintenance-free. When combined with PROACTIV front axle suspension, the ARION 400 satisfies even the most demanding requirements.

Low-frequency suspension. The premium seat.

The wide choice of Sears and Grammer seats includes two pivoting premium seats with low-frequency air suspension:

• Suspension automatically adjusts to the driver's weight
• Pivoting seat console makes it easier to see implements
