Bologna, Italy- CLAAS KGaA mbH., a agricultural machinery manufacturer, has introduced its all-new ARION 4 CMATIC tractor series, expanding its portfolio in the 120–160 hp segment. Unveiled at EIMA International 2026 in Bologna, Italy, the new generation combines intelligent powertrain management, advanced automation, premium operator comfort and digital farming technologies.
The series comprises four models — ARION 4.120, ARION 4.130, ARION 4.140 and ARION 4.150 CMATIC — available in COMFORT and BUSINESS configurations. Positioned alongside the ARION 400 range, these tractors bring several technologies associated with CLAAS's larger ARION and AXION models into a more compact and manoeuvrable platform.
Advanced Engine and Intelligent Transmission
The new tractors are powered by a 4.5-litre Cummins four-cylinder engine, delivering maximum outputs from 130 to 160 hp and up to 646 Nm of torque. The CMATIC continuously variable transmission enables smooth acceleration and efficient power delivery, with a maximum travel speed of 50 km/h.
The introduction of CEMOS AUTO POWERTRAIN, incorporating DYNAMIC POWER, AUTO DROOP and AUTO LOAD ANTICIPATION, allows the tractors to automatically adjust engine performance and transmission settings according to operating conditions. These technologies are designed to optimise fuel efficiency, productivity and operator convenience.
SMART LOADING and Enhanced Productivity
For the first time in this tractor range, CLAAS introduces SMART LOADING technology, offering automated front-loader functions, programmable lifting positions, automatic bucket return and integrated weighing capabilities. This helps improve loading precision, reduce repetitive operator tasks and support digital documentation of material-handling operations.
The tractors also feature load-sensing hydraulics with flow rates of 110 or 150 litres per minute, a standard rear lifting capacity of 5,750 kg and an optional front linkage offering up to 4,300 kg.
Premium Cab and Precision Farming Technology
Operator comfort is a major focus, with a spacious 2.8 m³ premium cab, PANORAMIC windscreen for enhanced visibility and a low interior noise level of 69 dB(A). Available comfort features include ventilated and heated seats, a massage function, dynamic steering and advanced LED lighting.
The tractors integrate CEBIS connect, CLAAS connect and GPS PILOT, enabling machine monitoring, precision guidance, task management, remote support and digital fleet operations.
Strengthening CLAAS's Position in Modern Agriculture
Marketed as CLAAS's “smallest large tractor,” the ARION 4 CMATIC brings high-end agricultural technologies to the medium-power tractor segment. Its combination of intelligent automation, efficient power delivery and connected farming solutions is designed to meet the evolving requirements of professional farmers and agricultural contractors.
The launch highlights CLAAS's continued focus on precision agriculture, operational efficiency, digitalisation and advanced tractor technology.
