CLAAS has secured two Tractor of the Year 2027 awards at EIMA in Bologna, with the new ARION 4.150 CMATIC named TOTY Utility and the NEXOS 2.120 CMATIC winning TOTY Specialized. The awards were presented on 10 November by the international Tractor of the Year jury, representing 25 countries.

The double success highlights the continued focus of CLAAS in advanced technology, comfort and efficiency to both versatile utility tractors and specialist agricultural applications.

ARION 4.150 CMATIC wins TOTY Utility

Making its world premiere at EIMA, the new ARION 4.150 CMATIC was recognised for combining the technology and capability of higher-horsepower tractors with compact dimensions and everyday versatility.

The ARION 4.150 CMATIC delivers up to 160 hp from its 4.5-litre Cummins four-cylinder engine and features a new continuously variable CMATIC transmission, capable of 50 km/h at reduced engine speeds. Designed for a wide range of loader, field and transport duties, it combines strong performance with intuitive operation and low operating costs.

The ARION 4.150 CMATIC also features one of the largest and quietest cabs in its class. Its optional PANORAMIC cab design provides excellent upwards and all-round visibility for front-loader operations, while CEBIS connect and CLAAS connect provide integrated machine control, guidance, task management and digital documentation.

The Tractor of the Year jury praised the ARION 4.150 CMATIC for bringing “solutions usually found in higher power classes into a segment where simplicity of operation and flexibility are crucial.”

NEXOS 2.120 CMATIC wins TOTY Specialized

The NEXOS 2.120 CMATIC received the TOTY Specialized award for its combination of compact dimensions, precision and continuously variable transmission technology for specialist crop production.

Developed for vineyards, orchards, other high-value crops and municipal applications, the NEXOS 2.120 CMATIC combines a fuel-efficient 120 hp Fiat Powertrain four-cylinder engine with the stepless CMATIC transmission. This enables smooth, accurate speed control for demanding work between crop rows, while supporting efficient road and field performance.

Its four-pillar cab provides excellent all-round visibility, while the multifunction armrest and CMOTION control lever give operators intuitive access to key tractor functions. The result is a specialist tractor designed to improve comfort, precision and productivity in confined working environments.

The jury described the NEXOS 2.120 CMATIC as “a significant advancement in the design of specialised tractors”, recognising its ability to optimise work processes in row-crop applications.

Continued recognition for CLAAS innovation

The two 2027 awards mark CLAAS’ fourth Tractor of the Year recognition in four years, following wins for the XERION 12.650 TERRA TRAC in 2023 and the AXION 9.450 TERRA TRAC in 2025. The latest double victory underlines the company’s commitment to developing tractors that reflect the changing requirements of professional farmers, contractors and specialist growers.
