CLAAS Elios – Elios 210, 220 and 230: compact FPT diesel tractors from 53 to 65 kW, 3,200 cm³ displacement and 3,165 kg operating weight

With the Elios range, CLAAS has offered a compact utility tractor below the Arion line since around 2010. The three models Elios 210, 220 and 230 follow a rising numbering pattern marking the power stage within the range; the engines come from the Italian maker FPT, which also supplies many other farm machinery brands worldwide.

The register lists 3 versions with 53 to 65 kW rated output at 2,300 rpm. The four-cylinder engines produce 3,200 cm³ displacement, operating weight is 3,165 kg across all three models, height is 2,397 mm and length is 4,019 mm.

As a compact range, the Elios suits smaller and medium-sized holdings as well as municipal and yard work, where manoeuvrability and a moderate kerb weight matter more than raw pulling power. The uniform displacement across all three power stages eases spares planning, and the compact dimensions allow work in narrower barn aisles and outbuildings.

When buying used, it is worth checking clutch and gearbox, the hydraulic pump, and the condition of the front loader mount, since Elios tractors are often run with a front loader. On the FPT engines, the service history of the injection system and turbocharger should be checked, along with the condition of the implement mounting plate and the loader's hydraulic hoses; spare parts are carried by the CLAAS network.

What to check before buying

  • Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
  • Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
  • Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
  • Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
  • Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
