Claas Arion 500 – standard tractors from Le Mans since 2007: four-cylinder 4,525 cm³ engines, some from John Deere, 81 to 99 kW, Arion 510 to 540 models
The Claas Arion 500 is a standard-tractor range that Claas has built since 2007 at its French plant in Le Mans. The Arion 5xx designation combines the model family with a three-digit power number; the register covers the Arion 510, 520, 530 and 540 models with four-cylinder diesel engines, some from John Deere.

The register holds 4 versions rated at 81 to 99 kW (110 to 135 hp), with four-cylinder engines of a uniform 4,525 cm³. Weights range from 5,380 to 5,470 kg, with a gross vehicle weight of up to 10,250 kg. Length is 4,889 mm, width falls between 2,210 and 3,000 mm and height between 2,916 and 2,961 mm; engine speed is 2,200 rpm.
The Arion 500 range covers the middle power segment between the more compact Arion 400 and the larger Arion 600 models, aimed at farms with mixed field, haulage and front-loader work. It competes with comparable standard tractors from John Deere, Fendt and Deutz-Fahr.
When buying used, check the engine and injection system, clutch and gearbox, and the front hydraulics if a front loader was fitted. Rust on mudguards, steps and cab frame, and the condition of the cab mounts, are further checkpoints; spare parts are readily available through the Claas dealer network. Because the range shares its engine sourcing with John Deere, checking engine electronics, sensors and wiring alongside the service history is particularly worthwhile.
