Convenient shifting vastly reduces operator's workload

Engine speed reduction is provided by a modern, well-stepped six-speed transmission available in three versions to suit customer requirements and conditions:

12/12 (2 ranges) with mechanical reverser.
24/12 (2 ranges) with TWINSHIFT powershift transmission and REVERSHIFT clutchless reverser.
36/18 (3 ranges) with TWINSHIFT powershift transmission and REVERSHIFT clutchless reverser.

Top speeds of 40 km/h are achieved at a fuel-efficient 1,750 rpm, and in models fitted with REVERSHIFT, you can shift using the clutch button on the gear lever instead of the foot clutch – shifting has never been so easy! Eleven gears are available between 5 and 15 km/h and overlapping gears ensure smooth shifting between the two or three ranges.

In addition to the mechanical hand brake, versions with 24/12 and 36/18 gears can be fitted with an optional electric parking lock which is activated via the REVERSHIFT lever to the left of the steering wheel. Customers can also opt for SMART STOP, which enables the operator to stop and start without using the clutch pedal – a huge advantage during front loader and transport operations, and when baling round bales.

Distinctive cab

Designed exclusively for the AXOS 3, the cab has several distinguishing features that make the working day easier:

With 30-inch rear wheels (380/85 R 30), the overall height of the AXOS 3 remains below 2.50 m, enabling low entrances to be negotiated with ease.
The doors open up to 180 degrees to the front – enabling the operator to get in and out of the cab easily using the full door width of 88 cm; especially useful in confined spaces such as the feed passage. Furthermore, the doors latch open in the forward position, a feature shared with the earlier AXOS 300 and CELTIS 300. The latch can be released from both the inside and the outside.
The generously proportioned cab has ample leg room, numerous storage compartments and a full-size passenger seat.
Large windows and a low bonnet ensure an excellent all-round view. An optional FOPS-certified transparent sunroof provides an optimum view up through the roof for front loader work. The front and rear windows swing open.
The LED lighting package with up to 10 LED headlights turns night into day and facilitates work in poorly lit sheds and barns.

Inside the cab, the retractable and adjustable steering console incorporating the instrument panel immediately stands out. Dynamic steering with adjustable steering ratio (optional extra) reduces the number of turns of the steering wheel between the steering locks from 3.8 to 1.9 when operating at speeds of up to 10 km/h.

The right-hand side console houses the key control elements along with a bottle holder and a storage compartment. Additional generous storage areas and two USB ports are situated to the left of the operator. The electrohydraulic E-PILOT S can be installed in the right-hand side console for fingertip control of all front loader functions.

ISOBUS terminals such as the CLAAS CEMIS 700 can be installed in the cab for controlling ISOBUS implements.
