New CLAAS Lexion Combine: All You Want To Know 

Thank you for watching and commenting.

That’s true. I met a JD guy in Australia, working for Cervus in Canada and explained to us how the JD S680 worked and he was amazing but also really funny.

He is a great person to talk Lexion combines with.

The new CLAAS combines really move the harvest along. Past Lexions were all good but these new ones are top of the class.

They move right along. They can cover a good 150 acres a day.

Yes. The first video did not load the last three minutes for some reason. Here is version 2.0 😁

Having interviews with good representatives like Jeff Help me learn a lot about these machines so I have a better idea of what I’m filming in the field

Jeff is a great person to talk Claas with.

bigtractorpower Definitely!

Claas has built an impressive combine. It really leads the market with several of these updates.

Well explained , he knows what he is talking about

I THINK this Company,with IT'S Innovative and Total upgrades; Makes John Deere look like a Back water hillbilly.

The unified brand will look good in the field.

Thank you for watching. These big machines are impressive to see in action.

Jeff was very helpful in understanding the capabilities of the new Lexion.

How are you liking them?

Jeff is an excellent representative for Claas. I appreciate all the time he spent with me going through the combine and spending time in the field so I could get several good filming views.

Thank you for watching.

👍👍

Jeff is a great representative for Claas.

Thank you. Glad you liked it.

Jeff is very good.

Great history. I filmed serial number 2008 Ford 642 out 2011 642s built last fall. Number 2008 makes a brief appearance in the video covering Claas combines @ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WHA863SL8vw.html

I am sure they ha e DEF. I would guess it is refilled up top in the engine area.

This machine is as big as some old cribs !! Hahaha

We have a 1000 gallon water tank we pull around for when our combine catch on fire. That's our fire suppression system 😂

the new stlye fire extinguisher will go to the heat source now making putting fires out much easier

What model did you see at Woodstock?

I agree. Claas really likes 1/32. I know the requests have been made. Maybe this new generation will be available in 1/64.

@@bigtractorpower 👍 fingers crossed!

Probably down to yields in North America, when New Holland set the wheat harvest record in the Cr10.90 the field they chose was in England and the yield was around 150 bushels per acre. I’m sure when Claas bring out a 50ft+ header the 8900 will be launched over there.

@@pipoo1 we already have the headers we don't use Claas we use MacDon and Honey Bee adaptable to any make. The Honey bee already makes the 60 ft I believe.

Yes there was an error at the end of the first video. The last 3 minutes did not load.

Auto refueling my not be that far away. I know a farmer using a drone to spray crops and it automatically refills with chemical and fuel each time it lands.

No that is pretty cool a drone you got a film that and put that on your channel that would get a lot of hits

Good question. The answer is yes. You can see s video of a Gleaner S68 combine harvesting corn in the snow I made @ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kD8rFOJDm9c.html

as long as the temperature stays down

The 670 will be available in North America in 2020. The 700s have been replaced by the 7000 and 8000 for 2020.

bigtractorpower thank you. That’s what I wanted to know.

Do u mean farming simulator 2020 for mobile cuz that comes out in December lol

No mean the 35 piece expansion that comes out for PC/console the 22nd of next month

Or change the wheel color

This 7500TT is very impressive. I would recommend people give it a demonstration to see all these nice features.

Frame and component size. 7000s are 385 bu and the 8000s 510 bu.

7000 is the narrow body, 8000 is the wide body

Omaha, Nebraska. I meant to point out the made in America flag decal on the door and forgot too.

Maybe in the next 20 years???

Already have one, the Tribine

I do not know but I would guess it’s over $600,000.

👍

Yes. As Jeff mentioned the first Lexion sold in North America 21 years ago was sold in WKY. They are several out in the area.

Im not the expert, but i think that class makes a bit better combine harvesters, but fendt makes better tractors. But i might be wrong, so dont quote me on that

That may happen this fall. I hope that filming opportunity developed.

Bogy I take your word for it....

The machines will outlast a person with proper care, the high wear areas will need replaced every 10000 acres

@@daynebrown1611 Yeah, but i was always wondering... the amount of technology in this combine is very high. All of the software and everything. It actually requires proper care from certified tehnician. Lets be honest, farmer can only do so much to mantain this beast. What will happen once the machine gets a bit older, like 10 - 15 years and GPS dies for example ? Most manufacturers wont maintain machines like that for that long. Famous case is John Deere with their starfire system. And the new one cost pure fortune. I mean, is it possible to maintain vehicle like this one even after system like all of the touchscreens etc die after some years ? Can you keep it running without all of that technology ? Like the regular oldschool combine even if that means you will have to run everything manually (no auto-steer etc.) ?

Wiring harnesses will go out before the monitor will, and these are easily replaced (at least on CASE IH they are easily replaced) as well as relatively inexpensive considering the job they do. Without working wiring harnesses this machine appears to not have any manual adjustment, so it would not be able to change crops without a new harness. On every machine these harnesses are a major crutch especially with the additional sensors and cameras that have been added.

@@daynebrown1611 Yeah we had a ghost in our electrical of our CX8080 2nd harvest and after some diagnostic with the mechanic on his laptop and software support (somewhere else in the world via satelite) they pulled the pin and yanked the harness, sure wouldn't want that bill after warranty is off.

@@TheHrt5 just think of the abuse your cell phone goes through in a day. Now if your phone was mounted to something solid and never fell or take a sharpe hit. Monitors have been in tractor for decades and the wiring is secured the biggest threat is mice more than any thing. Old farm hand here. Farm equiment are just like cars if you take good care of them they last a long time.

As far as I've read on our literature, the chopper and cylinder high/low is electronically controlled. I'm thinking the only real manual change (if even?) Is the feederhouse chain/belt height. It might be electronic or hydraulic now too. I can't find that info

all settings can be done from the operator seat

INCO Lexion 8000 series holds 510 bushels

@@obeseape1311 t Ok I thought he said 385

INCO it is 385 for the 7400 and 7500 but the 8600-8800 can hold 510

No more yellow Lexions. I made a video that features the Lexion history ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WHA863SL8vw.html

Yes Claas is still family-owned. Cathrina Claas Mühlhäuser is the chairman of the supervisory board.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QwF0HrXbGQQ.html

Please enlighten us .... since we don’t have good yields here in North America 🙄

Never said the yields weren’t good in N.A but you asked, in Ireland the average across the whole country, not just the best part and yes the AVERAGE is for Spring Wheat=105bsl, Spring Barley=162.5bsl and Oats=181bsl. Like I said it can be worse but it can be a whole lot better

Is there any I can try clarify from the video?

Honestly it wouldn't surprise me. The Jaguar Forage harvester has been consistently rated for the most fuel efficiency and most output per rated horsepower. And the difference is incredible big. If that efficiency experience in engineering translates into the Lexion, it might not be 30% more efficient than every combine but I wouldn't be surprised if it has 10-15% more output than a comparable Deere or Case IH.

ignafiltro He said a thirty percent increase over the nearest competitors ,which would be Caseih ,Deere and New Holland.

not a stretch they can do it the old 760 held the world record inmost bushels of corn harvested in 8 10 and 12 hr times the new ones are bigger and better they can do it no problem

@@joescheller6680 Checkout the New Holland 10-90 it's held the world record since 2014 and the machine has been improved since then ,I personally don't think much comes close to it or the Caseih 9250 .There's a video on YT with a Caseih 9240 harvesting with a 24 row corn head ,I don't think much would be close to it.

@@interman7715 you better go back and check that again. The Class lexicon 760 set the record. New Holland wasn't even in the picture

I film several S790 combines. The 7500 has them beat in unloading speed and technology. This Lexion really sets a new standard.

How many world records do JD have?

I film all brands of combines. John Deere makes a good combine. The technology, 8,000 bu an hour and 5.1 bu unloading rate of this 385 bu. Class 7 Combine has the class 9 400 bu, 5,000 bu per hour 3.8 bu per second John Deere S790 our paced.

John deer is good that's true but claas is still a really good combine lol

farmermatt629, even spelling is complicated for you...

Walter99 😂 too funny Walter... your quite the comedian

Its been the normal claas colors here in europe for the past 100 years so a yellow livery seems very weird to me

Well the Lexion is built in Omaha, NE. I should have shown the American Flag 🇺🇸 decal on the cab door. Claas employs allot of people in the United States and makes one impressive combine.
