A true all-rounder. users for years in the toughest

of applications. With its
compact dimensions, manoeu-

has captured the hearts of
many professionals.

But that’s no excuse to rest on

our laurels. Even the best
machine can be improved. We
have created innovations that
make handling this tractor even
easier and make a real differ-
ence in your everyday work:
a new design for even greater
driving comfort and the

 The CLAAS
comfort concept.

Uncompromising driving comfort

The most spacious cab on the market Comfort
Extremely user-friendly
 We can’t do your work
for you, but we can
certainly make it easier.

Add a genuine first CLAAS machine to your farmyard

with the new ARES 500. A reliable partner that gives you
everything you need to make your working day more
productive. With its relaxed driving mode and simple
controls, you’ll soon get a grip on the ARES. What more
could you ask for from a good friend?

After all, comfort means much more than just a comfortable

seat. That is why the engineers at CLAAS have redefined
the term driving comfort and developed a totally new
comfort concept for ARES. The interaction between a
variety of components makes it less tiring to operate,
even when working long hours and in tough conditions.

6
Added driving comfort point by point.

• The longest wheelbase in its class

• Tried and tested ATZ four-point cab suspension (optional)

• Comfortable, air-cushioned driver's seat

• The most spacious cab on the market

• Powerful air conditioning system

• Effective soundproofing (73 db [A])

• Straightforward operation

• New light design with up to 8 work lights (H3 + H7)

Comfort concept

Space. Visibility. Quiet. Comfort.
Four fundamental requirements to
guarantee your sense of well-being
and relaxation in the workplace.
In the ARES 500, you are guaranteed perfect visibility over
all of your implements. The generously proportioned
glazed areas and the slim cab pillars ensure excellent 320
degree vision. The large rear window provides an excellent
view of the implements. The wide, front-opening roof
(optional) gives excellent overhead visibility.
8
The ARES 500 is the only tractor in its class to be equipped
with a fully-sprung cab (ATZ models), which is supported
on four spring elements. As a result, almost all of the
vibrations from the axles and chassis are absorbed.
Choose the ARES and your back will thank you for it.
The powerful air conditioning system ensures comfort-
able working conditions, no matter what the weather.
And if it really gets hot, just help yourself to an ice-cold
refreshment from the coolerbox in the dashboard.
The ARES 500 light concept: up to 8 work lights
(H3 + H7) illuminate even the darkest corner of the field.

Our engineers construct tractors
according to a very simple motto:
machines must adapt to people
rather than the other way around.
Drivers should be able to start
operating their tractors without first
having to wade through a huge
instruction manual. Good tractors
are easy and uncomplicated to
operate.
On the ARES 500, all controls are within easy reach. All of
the controls and instruments on the newly developed
dashboard are arranged in an ergonomic design to create
a healthier working environment.
You can comfortably regulate the engine speed and tractor
speed, along with all of the HEXASHIFT’s shifting functions
using the throttle control. The fingertip lever guarantees full
control of your working speed, allowing you to concentrate
fully on your implements. A well laid out and easy-to-read
display provides all of the information relevant to your
work. No other tractor could assist you more effectively
in your day-to-day work.

it’s there when you need it.

With a power rating from 90 HP to 100 HP (ECE R 24), the

ARES 500 fully satisfies the needs of mixed farms as well
as those of large arable farms. This powerful machine is
happiest when things get tough. Whether carrying out
heavy ploughing, front loader tasks or towing fully loaded
trailers, the ARES comes into its own with its powerful
performance and high level of torque.

The ARES 500 is equipped with the latest 4.5 litre four-
cylinder engines with turbocharger. Electronically controlled
injection ensures an accurate dose of fuel whilst at the
same time ensuring low consumption. Its vast tractive force
offers impressive performance, even in the lower speed
range. And thanks to its enormous torque backup, the
ARES 500 offers power reserves to ensure sufficient power
even when working in changeable ground conditions.

The perfect stepping of the new HEXASHIFT transmission
with six powershift stages and use of the ECO power

 Hard work can’t be
performed single-handedly.
Or can it?

The ARES makes efficient work as

straightforward as possible. If you use
the HEXACTIV automatic transmission
(optional), you can keep your right hand
free to operate the other controls.

22
For example, you can operate the front loader with your
right hand while controlling REVERSHIFT, the hydraulic
shuttle reverser, with your left.
In fact, with the REVERSHIFT you don’t even need to use
your whole hand. A touch of your fingertips is enough to
effortlessly change the direction of travel on the ARES 500,
no matter what speed or gear is selected. It saves time
and considerably increases your daily output.

The HEXASHIFT transmission offers additional comfort for

your day-to-day work. With the help of the headland gear,
you can program repetitive manoeuvres and call them up
at the touch of a button. What's more, the crawling speed
from 410 m/h, makes the ARES the ideal companion for
cultivating vegetables and special cultures.

 True friends
are always ready
to lend a
helping hand.

The powerful hydraulic system with

up to 4 additional control units brings
out the best in the ARES.
The rear lifting unit continuously lifts 6.5 t. This means that
you can expect your ARES 500 to effortlessly pull heavy
implements with a high field capacity, saving you
significant amounts of time and money once again.

24
You can operate the linkage of the ARES 500 with the
TCE 15 terminal. The system is powered by an electronic
linkage control (Bosch EHR), which always guarantees
maximum traction.

The hitch area of the ARES 500 is extremely ergonomic

and well laid-out in terms of its design. The couplings of
the spool valve block are easily accessible and enable
rapid hitching and unhitching.

Powerful hydraulics

25
 The longest wheel base
in its class.
Yet as agile as a cat.

The ARES 500 is one of the most

agile tractors in its class. Its turning
radius is a modest 4.40 m.
A maximum steering angle of up to 55° is possible thanks
to the pivoting front wings. As a result, you save valuable
centimetres and precious minutes when carrying out
turning manoeuvres. Even when fitted with the front
loader, the ARES still achieves unbeatable manoeuvrability.

Wheelbase and weight distribution are significant factors

in achieving effective traction and driving stability on the
road. The recognised concept behind the 500 ARES
series, with the longest wheelbase of its class (2.56 m)
and perfect weight distribution (50% front, 50% rear),
provides the ideal conditions for high tractive power,
excellent lifting capacity and driving stability when
travelling at high speed on the road.

26
Exceptional tractive force. Because it can
also be ballasted at the front, the ARES Impressive manoeuvrability
provides an ideal weight distribution: 50% Maximum stability
at the front and 50% at the rear.

30
On the ARES 500, maintenance and
servicing tasks are no longer a chore.
Accessing the relevant areas on the
machine is extremely quick and
simple.

The one-piece bonnet is lifted in a matter of seconds,

whilst engine can be easily accessed even when the front
loader is fitted. The air filter and moveable radiator are
positioned so that they are simple to replace or clean, and
the radiator can be pivoted out of the way in a matter of
moments thanks to the twist locks.

And that’s not all that will save you time: The cab filter is
no longer located in the roof, but can now be accessed
easily from the front of the cab.

In addition, the ARES 500 is as easy to refuel as a car.

The tank holds 180 litres of fuel, enough for a long
working day.
