NC/NE Iowa
Lexion dealer is 35 miles away and NEVER has parts on hand. We switched to a red combine so we'd have to run a Capello and supposedly we cant get "Capello" parts from the Lexion dealer. Nearest Capello dealer would be 45 or 50 miles away. The Lexion/capello was good no doubt, but stripper plates could use improving. Pretty bad head shelling in dry corn. Big reason for the switch from yellow to red was to get better dealer support and be closer to the parts counter. Gearboxes were in the process of shelling out on our Lexion head even after maintaining the head meticulously since we owned it from new.
Case head was out of warranty when I bought it(claimed to have 1000 acres on it) but since it was broke when I bought it and neither of us noticed he fixed it for free. IMO it was the quality to which the repairs were done is why I'm in the situation I'm in now.
