Beneath the one-piece bonnet of the XERION lies a high-performance, 12.5 litre, six-cylinder Perkins engine with charge-air cooling.
The engine meets emissions standard Stage IIIA (Tier 3) and is renowned for its performance, economy and reliability.
Cylinders | Cubic capacity | Nominal engine speed | Rated output | ECE R 120, 97/68/EC | Max. output | ECE R 120, 97/68/EC | Max. torque |
| XERION 5000 | 6 | 12.5 l | 2000 rpm | 358 kW | 487 hp | 385 kW | 524 nm |
| XERION 4500 | 6 | 12.5 l | 2000 rpm | 330 kW | 449 hp | 355 kW | 483 nm |
| XERION 4000 | 6 | 12.5 l | 2000 rpm | 295 kW | 401 hp | 317 kW | 431 nm |
Air is drawn into the engine via a coarse dirt separator though a grille in the bonnet. The coarse dirt particles are constantly discharged via a conduit running from the dirt separator to the engine cooling fan under the existing negative pressure.
The pretreated engine air subsequently reaches the air filter where it is further purified by the engine air filter.

The onboard voltage network of the XERION is powered by a 24 V system. This guarantees reliability and protects the engine when cold-starting at low temperatures.

The XERION can be equipped with a hydraulically variable fan with reverse function.
The fan rotation speed and the angle of the fan blades are adjusted automatically in line with engine temperature via the hydraulic drive system. This ensures that the fan only operates at full power when absolutely necessary, effectively saving on engine output and fuel consumption.
The fan can be cleaned at any time by pushing a button in the cab.
The benefits for you:
-
Reduced power and fuel consumption
-
Less maintenance
-
Optimum fan output at all times
-
No need to leave the cab to clean

The fully reversible ZF Eccom 4.5 converts the installed engine power with absolute efficiency in both directions of travel.

XERION steering programs.
The XERION offers the ideal steering program to suit any purpose. It provides the standard (road) steering program plus six special steering programs:
Four-wheel steering:both axles are steered simultaneously
-
Single-sided crab steering: axles are offset to prevent slipping on slopes
-
Gentle mode: axles are offset to prevent multipass effect
-
Full crab steering: axles are offset for shuttle work
-
Fingertip lever steering: the rear axle is steered via the joystick
-
Synchronised steering: offset steering pole, e.g. exclusive rear-axle or front-axle steering

The rear linkage is easily operated via the multifunction control lever, while the electronic linkage control is conveniently set via the CEBIS system.


Rear and front linkages can be controlled effortlessly using the thumb, thanks to the new CMOTION operating concept.
-
Front linkage operation
-
Rear linkage operation

The primary circuit operates the linkages and spool valves, while the secondary circuit operates the oil cooler as well as the steering system and brakes. Timing and volume control are infinitely variable via CEBIS on all spool valves.
-
200 bar operating pressure at 205 l/min
-
Flow rate max. 105 l/min per spool valve
-
120 l tank capacity
-
80 litres drawable oil volume
-
61 kW max hydraulic output

Between three and six spool valves (max. seven spool valves without rear linkage) are available at the rear. The XERION can be equipped with two spool valves at the front. Three spool valves are available if a front linkage is not installed.

When used with a swanneck slurry tanker, this represents a fuel-saving alternative to PTO operation.

Convenience in all directions.
The rotatable cab gives the driver a perfect view of the rear attachment. The most impressive aspect is that the position of all operating elements remains unchanged after cab rotation. Whichever direction the XERION cab is rotated, the controls remain as they were, regardless of the direction of travel.
-

The XERION cab features an air suspension system which effectively absorbs powerful shocks, giving operators a smooth and gentle ride even over rough terrain.

Ultra-convenient reverse-drive system.
The XERION cab can be rotated through 180° in less than 30 seconds. The introduction of the XERION has firmly established the rotatable cab on the market.




The XERION offers visibility which is unique in the 500 hp class with a superb all-round view. Generous legroom, comfortable air conditioning at all times, an exceptionally low noise level (69 dB) and a three-way adjustable steering column provide a first-class working environment. The driver's seat is available in three different models and a deluxe seat (which swivels sideways by up to 20°) is also available, offering an even more expansive view of the cultivation zone to the rear.
A generously sized cooler compartment with 43-litre capacity to the left of the driver's seat and a radio system with CD, MP3 and Bluetooth hands-free functionality add the finishing touches to this outstanding luxury working area.




Lighting concept.
The XERION lighting concept is based on two different voltage networks.
The road lights are powered by a 12 V system and the work lights by a 24 V system. The improved light quality produced by the higher-power voltage network provides excellent illumination for effective night work.
Throughout even the longest night, the driver’s view of the implement is lit up as bright as day.
-
Up to six spotlights at the rear, with two optional Xenon lights available
-
Up to twelve spotlights at the front, with two optional Xenon lights available
The intelligent afterglow function for exiting the cab safely in the dark and the optionally available Xenon headlights add the finishing touches to the sophisticated XERION lighting system.

The XERION has a full support frame. The engine and transmission units feature a modular construction and do not have a load-bearing function.
The mounting of components on silent blocks does more than just increase stability – maintenance and accessibility, too, are simplified and improved.
Vibrations in the cab are reduced to a minimum.

The robust full frame is designed for extreme loads. The two axles are each designed to support loads of up to 15 tonnes at 50 km/h.
Front and rear linkages are fully integrated into the chassis. This guarantees a high load-bearing capacity with attachments of up to 13.6 tonnes at the rear and 8.4 tonnes at the front.
The benefits of a modular construction are self-evident:

The 110 mm drawbar hitch behind the XERION cab supports a maximum tongue load of 15 tonnes, ensuring that large drawbar loads can be safely carried and that slurry application is possible with tanks of up to 30 m3 plus incorporation equipment.
