510 Bushel CLAAS 8700 Terra Trac LEXION Combine

[@titaniummechanism3214]

I had no idea that Claas doesn't offer their flagship 8900 in the US. Haven't seen one in action myself yet, but its gotta be awesome!

[@LyfovRyan51]

The combine operater totally focused on what's happening. Must be alot to take in operating one of those machines. Always look forward to seeing another post. Keep up the good work Jason.

There’s a lot of focus when you run a combine

Thx Jason, I think claas has some of the best looking equipment made these days... There tractors are really sharp.

Was that a 9560RT pulling that cart?? Awesome video and amazing machine. I’m not an old timer by any means but just In my 30ish years around farming it even amazes me how far everything has come. And you do an amazing job showing people that don’t get to see it for themselves.

I think it was a 9570? It had the bigger fuel tank.

Watching this thing unload is just awe inspiring. Holy grain dump!!!!! Keep up the great work filming these beautiful machines!!!

[@bigtractorpower]

The 8000 Lexions just pour out the grain. It’s neat seeing it on the camera screen in the cab pour. This combines just flat out moves grain.

Very cool video Jason. Quite a machine there. It was nice the wind was blowing away from you. That bean dust is really itchy!!!

[@bigtractorpower]

Normally sun light and bean dust do not cooperate. It is the most challenging harvest to film. This day was over h the next town over the sun came out and the sky was bright blue.

[@burtbrooks7731]

I remember seeing the first one of these out back in the early 90’s my neighbor had the first claas track combine I ever seen and it had CAT CHALLENGEER undercarriage like the old cat tractors. It was soooo cool!!! It had full tracks tho , no steer tires on the back

[@brentfarrow8125]

Just awesome Jason nice beans 😎

That is a Awesome Machine. Love the New Paint Scheme on the Combine.

We use a Claas 6800 combine with 770 convio flex header. Wheat, Canola, Grass Seed, Peas, Barley, Oats, Clover

BTP- have you ever filmed one of these combines on tires? I can only recall the Claas machines on tracks. They're definitely nice machines and look a lot better in Claas colors vs the older Cat colored machines.

[@bigtractorpower]

I have not filmed a green model on wheels yet. I have featured a 760 in yellow on wheels here on the channel.

Good video as usual. This week was the last week for us to harvest with the 750tt claas combine. New machine coming for wheat 24.

Great dusty Harvest video Jason, in England we top off the Lexion range with the Lexion 8900 a real monster machine.

[@bigtractorpower]

It would be neat to see an 8900. The 8900s are specifically built with 790 Hp to handle the damp high yielding wheat in Europe. CLAAS feels the 8800 can cover the largest crops in North America.

Hello! I wanted to ask you about Claas. Do you have any other machines operating in your area besides combines? Tractors, loaders? It is interesting to know how popular this brand is in your country.

[@bigtractorpower]

Combines and forage harvester are the most popular CLAAS products here. Tractors are gaining. I got to drive an Axion 930TT this summer. It was impressive.

Yes we just switched to a claas 8700. Corn wheat soybeans. I’d be curious as to why those farmers switched...? Although didn’t sound like that guy was to interested in talking.

[@bigtractorpower]

Lexion combines eat the acres in a hurry and do a nice job. I plan to catch the 8700 in the video in corn. You might have noticed a Deere S790 also harvesting in this video. It was just traded for an 8600 TT. The combines were harvesting in a river bottom and farmer aa concentrating on harvesting near the edge of the field that had some drift in it while I was filming.

Can this combine be equipped with the wide LSW tires??

[@jasonhessels]

No. You would have to order it as a tire machine, then you lose the 510 bushel grain tank. Why would you want LSW over those tracks?

[@jamesfl1968]

@@jasonhessels from what I heard from farms with the LSW smoother ride, less Maintenace and better fuel numbers over tracks.,

[@bigtractorpower]

Yes you can it reduces the grain tank option to 485 bu. The Lexion Terra Trac better in my opinion because it spreads out the weight of the combine and in wet conditions does not rut the field.

It just amazes me how the small under powered class 7 Gleaner S97 can do what these big horsepower pigs can do with less power and fuel.

[@bigtractorpower]

I film every brand of combine and from my observation GLEANER combines do the best harvesting job. The S9 combines are impressive. I have filmed a S96 and S97. I would like to see what an S98 could do. CLAAS combines are good. They can move a bunch a corn. The advantage CLAAS combines have over the rest is the Terra Trac reduction compaction especially in a muddy harvest. The tracks long length keep the combine on top rather than leaving ruts.

[@Zero01k]

A Gleaner can't touch a Lexion in corn, don't even attempt it, just like Deere found out the hard way by plugging up their combine at the Farm Progress show this year trying that

as a non farmer,...silly question.. why are soybeans so much dustier than almost all other crops at harvest time?? wheat field behind house dusty as well ,but nothing like this .

[@Zero01k]

Wheat you are only cutting the top part of the plant where the wheat head is, with soybeans you are cutting low on the ground. Taking in not only the entire plant but some dirt as well in places, especially if your field has a lot of crawfish mounds.

Love seeing them, even though they can’t be justified for our organic through put requirements. I always joke, I’m the farmer with million dollar planters, and $50k combines.

[@Dbergson]

Surprised its not a 50 ft header!

[@bigtractorpower]

CLAAS builds heads up to 45ft at this time. The 40ft helps with controlled traffic reducing compaction.

[@noahater5785]

Wow, that is one dirty combine, looks like it could use a good power wash to get it cleaned up

[@20RM02]

It looks cool dirty

[@bigtractorpower]

It has its work clothes on. Soybeans are dusty crop to harvest. The combine is blown off and cleaned each evening. It is power washed at the end of harvest.

[@robertbanik7879]

Assembled in Omaha not manufactured in

[@maxamumdawg5494]

Only a 40 footer hmm

[@bigtractorpower]

CLAAS offers up to 45ft. The 40ft matches the width of the planter for reduced compaction and controlled traffic.

[@douglaslaschkewitsch6032]

I'll never understand this. CLAAS makes such a pretty combine. Million dollars sitting there- but then sticks a 20 dollar aluminum ladder on the back. Like they got a deal from some hardware store. They can do better with that, in my opinion.

[@bigtractorpower]

Actually it is a very handy ladder. It detaches from the back and can be used to access belts and pulleys under the side shields with ease. The first time I saw how the silver ladder is a useful tool all around the combine I though ahhh that makes sense why don’t the other brands have this. Watch this video I made at the 27:30 mark it shows just how handy the aluminum ladder is on a Lexion kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4DFZY2Ih56Inqc You might view it completely different going forward.

[@franksharal5512]

Nice machine it will never complete with John deere though

[@bigtractorpower]

The LEXION is an acre eater. There was an S790 in the same field. The 8700 was lapping it on passes. The farm traded the S790 for a Lexion 8600. I hope to catch the Lexions in corn this fall.
