LEXION 8900: combine harvesters from CLAAS are more than a machine.

High capacity and a clean harvest.

"What sets CLAAS machines apart is their high capacity and ability to produce a really good, clean harvest. Our CLAAS combine harvesters just work, and they always have done," explains farm manager Richie Jensen. On the Estate there are various types of soil to deal with – sandy, peat and clay – and a crop rotation that includes oilseed rape, wheat and barley along with clover and cocksfoot grasses. This diversity calls for flexible machines that can deliver outstanding performance under all conditions. Harvesting is further complicated by climatic features such as irregular rainfall and sea frets. "Our location here on the coast brings its own challenges," adds Richie Jensen. "Sometimes the sea fret forces us to complete the harvest earlier." Under conditions like this, the LEXION demonstrates its versatility, delivering consistently high quality results despite the changing conditions.

Rosenfeldt Estate

Low-loss harvest, optimal crop flow and high capacity.

Two LEXION 8900 combine harvesters with CONVIO FLEX 1380 cutterbars are used on the Rosenfeldt Estate. Mikkel Lacoppidan, experience machine operator at Rosenfeldt, is particularly impressed with the technology in his combiner harvesters. "What really impresses me about our CLAAS machines in the threshing system. Components like the accelerator, threshing drum and rotor enable us to achieve better separation, which allows us to harvest even when it's damp or cold and wet." This technical versatility ensures a low-loss harvest, optimal crop flow and high capacity – even under tough conditions. According to Mikkel Lacoppidan, the fantastic intake on the CONVIO cutterbar raises crop flow and efficiency to a new level: "It's the only suitable cutterbar is you want to get the most out of such a large machine," he maintains. The well-thought-out design ensures consistent crop flow, which simplifies harvesting and optimises working times to a considerable degree.

Top quality grass seed.

Harvesting grass seed, which the Rosenfeldt Estate is renowned for, is particularly challenging. "The main difficulty when threshing grass seed is maintaining capacity while at the same time obtaining a clean harvest," explains Mikkel Lacoppidan. Thanks to their precision technology, LEXION machines are able to satisfy these high standards of quality. Rich Jensen confirms: "The seeds are so perfectly cleaned that our seed buyer DLF often pays us a bonus for purity."
