“We were the first operation in the state to run a LEXION combine and it was quite an honor. There are more of them now than when I bought my first back in 1999 and I can certainly see why. I like these LEXION combines more and more every year!”

“When I bought my first LEXION, it was after our dealer came out and did a demonstration. They showed how well the LEXION works with those tracks. And if you know anything about the Mississippi Delta, you know that our soil is gumbo! When we get heavy rains, the LEXION doesn’t make compaction ruts in the soil. That alone made the LEXION better than anything I’ve ever used.”

“As I’ve continued buying LEXION combines and doing business with them, I’ve seen one improvement after another. When CLAAS sees something that can be tweaked or improved just a little, they go ahead and do it. In fact, my newest machine (a LEXION 585R) was delivered after harvest. We hadn’t even had a chance to use it, and they had already come to do an update. They improved my machine before I even got it into the field.”

“I farm 6,000 acres, which include corn, soybeans and rice. That rice is a tough crop to cut. When you’re cutting it, you need enough power to pull the machine through mud and handle straw. It’s unreal what those LEXION combines can harvest in one day, even in rice. We see rice average 190-200 bushels to the acre, plus heavy, dense straw without any problem.”

“The LEXION just makes it easier for us to harvest all three crops at the same time. Once you set the machine’s settings, all you have to do is push one button to get the machine ready for the next crop. You do it all from inside the cab. You don’t even have to get out. It just can’t get any easier than that.”
