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.

Supplemental Nitrogen on Soybeans: Can Early Nitrogen Increase Yield?

Video: Supplemental Nitrogen on Soybeans: Can Early Nitrogen Increase Yield?

Can supplemental nitrogen help soybeans reach higher yield potential? Technical Agronomist Tim Sickman walks through an ongoing trial at the Nutrien Innovation Farm in Owensboro, Kentucky, exploring whether a modest amount of nitrogen applied at planting can support higher-yielding soybean environments.

The trial compares 30 pounds of supplemental nitrogen across both 15- and 30-inch rows, along with treatments that include sulfur and micronutrients. Similar trials conducted in 2024 and 2025 delivered a six- to seven-bushel yield response, prompting the team to expand the research this season.

Early observations show that treated soybeans are slightly taller and averaging about two additional nodes on the main stem. These added nodes could create more opportunities for blooms and pods, but the true results will come at harvest when the team evaluates pod development, seed fill and final yield.
