“I’ve seen a lot of equipment come and go since I started farming in 1980. And, for the past several years, I’ve been a committed LEXION customer. There’s only one word that got me to bring LEXION into my 4,000 acre farm – productivity.”

“I get a lot of production out of just one machine. That’s important for me during harvest. And with this LEXION combine, the numbers are impressive. For canola, barley, wheat and soybeans, we averaged 25 acres per hour, with peaks up to 35 acres per hour! I even had to take photos of my CEBIS monitor to prove this to people. When I traded in my last LEXION, the overall average for all crops was 24.8 acres. That’s just plain impressive.”

“Production capacity was the most important aspect to me, but the features on LEXION keep me dedicated to this machine. The APS Threshing System is excellent. There’s less grain damage and a lower cylinder speed. The JET STREAM™ Cleaning System gives you more of a sieve area to clean seeds, so it goes faster. The seed is cleaner in the end, and even the guy at our local grain elevator comments on this.”

“That Cat engine has tremendous power. It’s phenomenal. And since we have a lot of wet weather here, those
tracks are really necessary. Between all of these things, plus the yield mapping and auto steer features, I wouldn’t
trade for anything but another LEXION.”
