| Be careful not to confuse capacity with throughput. An 8120 does have considerably more power, particularly over a 2013 or older 740, which will enable it to win just about any contest that solely looks at ground speed as the defining measure of 'capacity' when in reality that is just throughput. This is especially true wtih larger chopping cornheads on the front that can require immense amounts of power, thereby rendering the processor of the machine as not being the limiting factor. True capacity measures are throughput levels at or below a defined level of acceptable losses, and this is where the Lexion excels, particularly over a Case in high moisture corn. I do not doubt that the Case won the ground speed comparison alone in your experience - its huge power advantage alone would give it a big upper hand in throughput in highly power-intensive scenarios such as chopping cornheads and larger platforms, tough MOG, and high straw chopper requirements that don't allow the machines to be operated at their limit for processor efficiency.
Now, let's get back to the original poster's question, and if you'll refer back to that, you'll find that he is asking about high moisture corn, and in this cropping arena, the Lexion is going to have considerably more true capacity as defined by throughput measured at or below a defined level of acceptability - typically 1 bu/acre in corn harvest.
