In addition to the “Axos 3” utility tractors, Claas also offers a more compact Claas Axos 2 range.
Compared to the “3” family, the wheelbase is reduced from 2,400 mm to 2,286 mm, overall length remains just over four meters, and height stays below 1.90 meters.
Unladen weight is approximately 4.1 tons—around 300 kilograms less than the “Axos 3
These characteristics allow the two “Axos 2” models—“Axos 2.95” and “Axos 2.105”—to rival their “Axos 3” counterparts with similar performance levels, while offering a clear advantage when operating in confined environments such as nurseries and livestock buildings.
This further reinforces the versatility that defines the “Axos” range, expressed here through agile, compact, and dynamic utility-class machines.
Contributing to this dynamism are the same FPT “F36” engines used in the “Axos 3.” In this case, however, they are paired with a single transmission configuration: a hydraulically controlled gearbox structured around three ranges and five gears. Combined with the two-stage “TwinShift” powershift operating on forward gears, this setup provides 30 forward and 15 reverse speeds, with reverse easily engaged via the electrohydraulic “ReverShift” shuttle.
Thanks to this configuration, the “Axos 2” models can operate within a speed range from 500 meters per hour up to 40 km/h. These performances are achieved at engine speeds of approximately 1,400 rpm and 1,750 rpm respectively, ensuring fuel consumption among the lowest in their class.
Another major strength is hydraulic capacity. As standard, the tractors are equipped with a dual-pump system delivering 87 liters per minute. Optionally, they can be fitted with a triple-pump hydraulic system, adding a third 27 l/min pump to the standard 27 l/min dedicated to onboard systems and 60 l/min allocated to remote valves. This additional flow supplies a rear three-point linkage with a maximum lifting capacity of 3,350 kilograms.
The availability of up to 87 liters per minute fully usable during operation also facilitates the use of the optional front linkage, which offers a maximum lifting capacity of 3,230 kilograms. Furthermore, the option of four electronically controlled remote valves—replacing the three mechanical valves provided as standard—simplifies and enhances implement management both in the field and during road transport. In this regard, the flow-lock function is particularly useful for safe on-road operation.
The cabs, borrowed from higher-class models, offer levels of comfort, quietness, and ergonomics that are uncommon in mid-range tractors. Pneumatically suspended seats help reduce physical strain during long and intensive work cycles. The logical layout of primary controls, large heat-insulating glass panels, opening roof hatches, and the positioning of the exhaust pipe alongside the right front pillar all contribute to maximizing visibility of the working area.
