CLAAS introduces North America to its tractor series

CLAAS launched its new tractor lineup to North America this week at Ag in Motion.

The European-based company chose Ag in Motion for its global launch.

CLAAS is well known for its combines and now it's adding tractors to their product line 

Neil Pantlin, the Head of Commercial Development for CLAAS feels the tractors are a good fit in the North American market.

"We are launching the Xerion tractor and the new generation of Xerion tractor.  So, you've got the track version and you've got the wheeled version, and the second tractor that we're showcasing here is the Arion range. All three tractors are under the umbrella of the tractor division of CLAAS group."

He notes the Xerion is much larger than the Arion which is more multi-purpose.

"I'd like to think that we are now a serious player in the tractor business.  I think it's very important to say this. The only way people really need to understand this is to come and try it. Go to your local dealer go to CLAAS America,  go to CLAAS Canada, knock on the door, and try it."

The tractors were developed with extensive input from North American farmers.

What insect threats are Minnesota corn growers facing, and what research is helping farmers stay ahead of them?

At the 2026 MN Ag Expo, University of Minnesota entomologist Fei Yang shared updates on three Minnesota Corn-supported research projects focused on insect monitoring, seed treatments, and pest resistance.

Current work includes statewide monitoring programs that use pheromone, light, and sticky traps to track key pests such as black cutworm, true armyworm, corn earworm, European corn borer, and corn rootworm. Researchers are also evaluating whether high-rate seed treatments provide effective corn rootworm control and studying the development of resistance in European corn borer populations to Bt corn traits.

These projects help researchers better understand pest pressures across Minnesota and provide farmers with practical information to support informed management decisions.
