CLAAS TRION 740: no other combine harvester in its class can match the performance.

Preston Owen and his team are true professionals when it comes to working on large-scale farms. The season starts for them in South Texas with the millet harvest and continues through the wheat fields of Texas and Oklahoma before ending in Missouri with the corn and soybean harvest. "We have a vast area to cover," explains Preston calmly, as if it were no big deal. "We work from south to north and hope to be done by Thanksgiving." The two CLAAS TRION 740 combines with CONVIO FLEX 1080 headers are their constant companions, perfectly tailored to the needs of each farm.

Machines: Two TRION 740 TERRA TRAC combines with CONVIO FLEX 1080 headers

TRION 740 combine harvesters from CLAAS are more than machines.

Robust TERRA TRAC models keep downtimes to a minimum.

His two TRION 740 combine harvesters are more than just machines; they are critical to Preston Owen's day-to-day operations. The robust TERRA TRAC models were an instant hit with the team. Both machines are also equipped with the CEMOS AUTOMATIC assistance system -- which dynamically adjusts the machine settings based on changing field conditions. "I don't have to worry," says Preston Owen happily. "I can send someone out on their own and know that they and the combine harvester will get the job done and deliver top results for the customer."

"The best thing is that we can do over 500 acres a day with two TRION 740 machines. No other combine harvester in this class can match that."

The TRION 740 never lets you down – it's a true asset.

For the American farmer and custom harvester, the CLAAS TRION 740 equipped with the CONVIO FLEX 1080 header is more than just a combine harvester. Its performance and reliability make it an indispensable asset for Preston Owen's customers. The crawler tracks have proven themselves in wet years. While other combines are sidelined or can't even get onto the field in the first place, the TRION 740 just keeps going. "The best thing about the TRION 740 is that we can do over 500 acres a day with just two machines. No other combine harvester in this class can match that," says Preston.

Quality of work is important for customers – even more so with the TRION 740.

It's not all about speed. Preston Owen knows that while his customers care about speed, their main focus is on the quality of work. "We get the work done quickly, but the most important thing is that we do an excellent job. And that's what the farmers remember," says Preston. High performance, short changeover times, and connected technology make the TRION 740 an unbeatable all-around performer.

Pushing performance limits with maximum flexibility

What really sets the TRION 740 apart from other combine harvesters is its ability to adapt to any situation and requirements. All information is in one place and the machine settings can be precisely matched to the needs of the operator and the field. CLAAS has developed more than a machine – the TRION 740 allows for unlimited efficiency and maximum yield. Even under the most challenging conditions, it achieves high throughput while maintaining its strength and efficiency. Preston Owen invests in consistent performance to push the limits – and the TRION 740, with a CONVIO FLEX header, allows him to do just that. With more and more jobs coming in each year, the contractor expects that a few more CLAAS combine harvesters will be added to his fleet.

Each field is special in its own way, demanding full commitment from the operator and machine. It was with precisely this in mind that we developed the CLAAS TRION 740, a machine that delivers performance and efficiency, taking every field in stride.
