Absolutely agile. The steering axles.

Axle design.
Intelligent four-wheel steering preserves the tremendous manoeuvrability of the XERION.
- Optimum manoeuvrability
- Permanent all-wheel drive
- No front wheel lead
- 100% friction discs front and rear + automatic function
- Minimum turning radius of just 7 metres

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:
- All-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

Soil protection.
Gentle mode / crab steering is configured via CEBIS. Afterwards, it's just a matter of flicking the toggle switch. The machine turns through its characteristically tight radius while protecting the soil. The rear axle steers automatically.
