vs. John Deere + Case IH
A team of veteran industry professionals put several leading brands of tracked tractors through a barrage of tests in Mississippi.
CLAAS AXION 960 + 930 TERRA TRAC.
The CLAAS AXION 900 TERRA TRAC maintains the great qualities of the standard wheeled AXION tractor, like the high-quality finish and durability of the cab, an interior that encompasses premium comfort, and fuel economy competitive brands just can’t match.
The TERRRA TRAC addition for 960 or 930 models only further benefits AXION owners with even better flotation, compaction, traction and comfort.
Advantages
- Put 25% less pressure on the ground and get 15% more traction than the AXION 900 series with wheels
- Get up to 20% less heat build-up compared to other brands to work longer durations and improve track lifespans
- Feel less bumps and vibrations with a fully-suspended track system coupled with a unique four-point cab suspension - standard across our lineup
- Improve ground clearance and manually adjust the drawbar height directly within CEBIS for easy implement hook-ups
- Use brake-assisted steering to achieve even better turning control than you can with a wheeled AXION - a standard feature on all AXION tractors with TERRA TRAC
Reasons to love TERRA TRAC.
From top-to-bottom, every feature of the AXION 900 TERRA TRAC is built for the toughest jobs you throw at it. Every detail has been tested to increase durability and ensure you’ve got the tools you need to handle heavy loads. This tractor drives like a conventional front-wheel assist and has front-axle steering, allowing drivers to operate the machine intuitively without having to change driving habits.
Powerful traction.
The long wheel base and front axle provide effective directional stability. TERRA TRAC delivers full traction potential at all times, even under varying soil conditions.
Stamina abundance.
These self-cleaning tracks are friction drive with 33% less bends than competitive models, decreasing heat build-up, allowing the operator to work longer durations, and improving the lifespan of your tracks.
Steady pressure.
The vehicle’s weight distribution and the implement’s drawbar load have no effect on the behavior of the TERRA TRAC units. Hydraulic cylinders in the tracks continuously work together to either smile or frown in order to keep in constant contact with the ground.
Headland protection.
Even during tight turning maneuver at the headland, the front wheels pull the rear tracks smoothly so soil remains level with minimal berming or disturbance - increasing yield.

vs. John Deere
A third-party agronomic company, Antara Research, cultivated and planted a test plot using an CLAAS AXION 930 TERRA TRAC, John Deere 8RT and John Deere 8RX to see how each would fare against each other regarding compaction and crop yields.
More TERRA TRAC benefits.
Brake assisted steering.
Standard on every AXION 900 TERRA TRAC tractor, brake assisted steering is integrated into the existing machine brakes for a seamless experience. User adjustability on the fly range from completely off to high aggressivity.
Less front ballasting.
The front tires on the AXION TERRA TRAC makes up an even smaller proportion of the total footprint than those of the standard tractor. Most of the tractive power is transmitted by the TERRA TRAC assembly. This means that TERRA TRAC needs substantially less front ballasting. So you can drive with lower tire pressure and protect your soil from the start.
