Subject: Re: Good, Bad, Ugly of CAT Lexion combines???


Claas has a 2/3 share of the combine market in Europe where mostly small grains are grown. That tells me that The Lexion is probably the best machine in wheat, barley, canola, ect. Our corn is not good enough to max out any machine, so I can't comment on on that, but a Lexion 760 didn't do too bad at 51,000 bushels of corn in 10 hours a couple years ago in IL. Weak points are more greasing than other machines, especially at 100 hrs, but only 2 zerks at 10 hrs. The APS impeller can plug in green stem soybeans and green sunflowers. It takes a few days to learn how to set a Lexion properly, because there are so many things that can be adjusted, or open and closed, or removed and inserted to suit different crops or conditions. It would be a good idea to have someone in your area familar with your crops and conditions to help with settings.
