The CLAAS ARION 5 CMATIC – a tractor for a wide range of tasks. Whether mowing, cultivating, swathing or baling: the new ARION 5 CMATIC impresses with its versatility and adapts to changing tasks. ?
Equipped with the tried-and-tested CMATIC continuously variable transmission and a 4-cylinder engine delivering up to 180 PS, it guarantees the perfect balance of impressive performance, excellent driving comfort and outstanding efficiency. ?

On many farms, requirements change by the hour. One moment it’s road transport, the next it’s mowing grassland, then cultivating the field. This is quickly followed by raking, baling and wrapping – each task places its own demands on speed, precision and power. Via the Power-Beyond connection, the load-sensing system pumps up to 150 litres of oil per minute. This is ideal for heavy-duty hydraulic implements in rapidly changing operations. The ARION 5 CMATIC provides reliable support in every one of these situations, when every minute counts on the farm. ?

This is precisely where its strength lies: not in excelling in a single discipline, but in switching between very different tasks without compromising on reliability or performance. For farms where no two days are the same, it is precisely this flexibility that is crucial – the ARION 5 CMATIC delivers it without wasting valuable time between jobs. ?
