19 And for farmers with a fleet of equipment, CLAAS Connect helps them manage each machine. This digital platform supports mixed fleet operations very well, too. “It’s a fully integrated system from farm management to fleet management,” he said. “You can follow any tractor or combine with mapping and collect that data, as well as preplan service and maintenance with dealers.” The AXION 960 comes in two configurations: the standard wheeled version and the tracked Terra Trac (TT) model option. “The TT is a tracked rear end, so it’s a half-track tractor,” stated Reijmers. “This allows for a much narrower platform but a much larger footprint, as much as 15 percent larger. And because there’s a larger footprint, you have less soil compaction and less negative crop yield effects.” CLAAS emphasized operator comfort in the tractor’s design, with the AXION 960 having multiple suspension points available. “Three-point hitches are suspended for transport mode,” added Reijmers. “The front axle is suspended, and so is the cab. We have a premium seat in it, and the operator station is extremely comfortable because we want operators to feel good when they’re in our tractors.” The AXION 960 uses an 8.7‑liter FPT International engine, a platform known for its torque characteristics under heavy draft loads. FPT, aka Fiat Powertrain Technologies, is the global engine division of CNH Industrial—and widely used in agricultural, construction, and on‑road equipment. The engine has a maximum output of 445 horsepower, which positions the tractor for high‑demand tillage and transport work, while the CMATIC CVT (continuously variable transmission) helps maintain optimal engine speed under varying field conditions. This hydrostatic‑mechanical drive automatically adjusts the power split between hydraulic and mechanical paths to keep the engine operating in its most efficient RPM range. With a top speed of 31 mph (50 km/h), the tractor also supports efficient road travel between fields or back to the yard. CLAAS is a global agricultural machinery manufacturer headquartered in Harsewinkel, Germany, with North American operations based in Omaha, Nebraska. Founded in 1913, the family‑owned company is known for its leadership in harvesting equipment, tractors, forage systems, and precision‑ag technologies. CLAAS develops and builds advanced solutions for crop production, including combines, forage harvesters, balers, and the AXION and ARION tractor lines. With engineering centres and manufacturing sites across Europe and North America, the company focuses on efficiency, operator comfort, and digital integration to support modern farm operations.

It’s the central hub for day‑to‑day tractor management. CEMIS—Guidance and precision farming: CEMIS 1200 is the optional GPS and precision‑ag terminal that is used for automatic steering, mapping, application control, and real‑time yield and rate data. It can also run on other tractor brands with the correct harness. CEMOS—Performance optimization: CEMOS— an acronym for CLAAS Electronic Machine Optimization System—is the tractor’s optimization system, continuously analyzing the machine and an implement for recommended tire pressures, ballast placement, and engine/transmission settings. Independent testing shows it can improve performance by up to 16 percent.
