Combine harvester CLAAS LEXION 440-480

Combine harvester CLAAS LEXION 440-480

In 1996 “Claas” company put on the market a range of rotary combines Claas Lexion 440-480. Since that time a threshing system of rotary combines remained almost unchanged, only systems simplifying work on the slopes were added and more computer control over the processes.

The Lexion 480 combine still does not have equal competitors owing to universal rotary system of threshing and price and quality combination. The computer control system CEBIS allows to set necessary options before cleaning, to look after all important processes and informs the combine about any faults at the proper time. Also the computer weighs the grain in the bunker, measures its humidity, keeps recording the cultivation area, and provides monitoring of losses.

Till 2002 the Lexion 480 combines were produced only with 294 kWh Daimler Chraysler engines, and during 2002-2004 they were applied in industry with American CATERPILLAR engines of 303 kWh power. In 2004 the Lexion 480 was replaced by the Lexion 580.
