“Nothing compares to a LEXION. I like to operate the machines and harvest my own crop. Before I owned a LEXION, I was too busy managing things, now I can be in the field.

“We use our LEXIONs for harvesting rice, which is an extremely tough crop to harvest. The amount of abrasive rice straw going through the machine is huge, plus we are harvesting at higher moisture content level. The LEXION is extremely durable and stands up to the challenge. With our LEXION combines, we can harvest fast, which is critical to our operation and remaining profitable. The LEXION is the best combine in California for harvesting rice.

“In the past, I couldn’t keep up with all the demands at harvest and my repair bills were astronomical. After I bought the LEXIONs, I harvested in a two-week shorter time frame and had virtually no repairs. We saved a lot of time and money.

“Inputs are going up so we have to do more with less and be more efficient with manpower and equipment. Capacity is the main thing. A LEXION combine has more than double the harvest capacity of other machines. In fact, one LEXION does the work of two of the other machines.”
