The main controls are located in the ergonomic side console, grouped according to function and all within easy reach. Shelves and storage areas can be found on and beside the side console. All relevant information such as diesel consumption per hour, transmission oil temperature or fill level of the diesel particulate filter can be viewed on the .-inch colour display in the steering wheel console. The display can also be used to adjust the settings of functions such as rear linkage lift speed, and for versions with electronic spool valves (ELIOS and AXOS only), the response time of the hydraulic spool valves and the maximum flow rate, as well as the timer.
On all DISCO models, the new swinging arms can be hydraulically pivoted outwards by mm and inwards by mm (maximum travel mm) to adjust the overlap when turning corners and working across slopes. This helps to avoid unmown strips. The swing arm travel can be infinitely adjusted from the cab between . and . m. When opening the field and mowing on slopes, the overlap can be variably increased giving up to cm on each side to ensure stripe-free mowing, even with these applications. When folded into transport position, the arms automatically retract to a height of less than . m.
The XERION Series comes with a customisable package for ISOBUS and precision farming applications. Buyers can choose from automatic steering by GPS PILOT with different correction signals, both on- and off-line Task Management, and precision farming applications with Section Control and Variable Rates Application (VRA). All functions for modern, precise and site-specific work are available in conjunction with the -inch CEMIS terminal which uses the familiar CEBIS control concept. With CLAAS connect, new licences or activations can be transferred straight to the terminal online, as can tasks with predefined tracks and application maps from connected farm management information systems (CLAAS API).

Unlike the ELIOS , the ELIOS series starts at a maximum output of hp and comprises three models. However, the main difference from the ELIOS is the -speed transmission with TWINSHIFT powershifting and hydraulic REVERSHIFT reverser as standard. In addition, unlike the ELIOS , the cab floor is flat. The additional comfort provided by these features makes working with the ELIOS even more of a pleasure, be it in the yard and shed or on grassland, fields, plantations and forests. Kerb weight starts at kg, while the minimum external width of . m and minimum height of . m enable the tractor to be used in plantations and older-style buildings. With a maximum track width of mm, the ELIOS can also be used safely on uneven terrain and sloping ground. CLAAS can supply factory-fitted Trelleborg turf tyres (rear / R., front / R.) on request to protect the soil and reduce tracks when driving over grassland in parks, riding arenas and sports grounds.
