Claas Lexion

An engineering benchmark for large-scale farming

Claas Lexion is not just a combine harvester; it is the performance benchmark for the entire industry. Unlike most competitors using conventional threshing systems, the Lexion series is built on the APS Synflow Hybrid technology. It combines drum-based flow acceleration with two longitudinal rotors, allowing the machine to literally 'comb' grain from the ear while maintaining seed integrity, even in high-moisture conditions.

Strengths and unique features

• APS Synflow Hybrid system: Enables non-stop operation, minimizing grain breakage and separation losses.
• CEMOS Intelligence: The model’s trump card. This automated system adjusts threshing, cleaning, and airflow settings in real-time based on field conditions, effectively bridging the gap between operator skill levels.
• Terra Trac: The crawler track undercarriage minimizes soil compaction—a critical factor for maintaining crop yields in subsequent seasons.

Operational insights

Key advantages also include thoughtful cabin ergonomics and excellent accessibility for maintenance. However, this machine comes with a high cost of ownership. The Lexion requires qualified service and premium consumables. It is not a budget solution and does not reach its full potential on small or awkwardly shaped fields. It is a precise tool designed for professional agribusinesses and large-scale farmers managing hundreds or thousands of hectares.

If you are looking for a machine to harvest massive areas quickly with minimal losses and maximum operator comfort, the Lexion is unrivaled. For farms with limited land holdings, however, the return on investment may be hindered by the sheer excess of its performance capabilities.
