Launch of the new Claas Lexion 620, 630, 640, 650, 660, 670, 740, 750, 760 and 770

Claas Lexion combine harvesters now have a new numbering system: the 600 series covers the straw walker combines (5 straw walkers for the Lexion 620 and 630, and 6 straw walkers for the Lexion 640, 650, 660 and 670), while the 700 series groups together the rotor Lexion models.
The changes made by Claas engineers mainly concern the cab, the operation of the machine via a more comprehensive on-board computer, and increased engine and hydraulic power.

All models, with the exception of the most powerful one, the Claas Lexion 770, benefit from an increase in power compared with the current equivalents. Note that Mercedes equips the Lexion 760 and 770 with the OM502 LA engine, a V8 with a displacement of 16 litres, and Caterpillar powers the Lexion 620, 630, 640, 650, 670 and 750.

The new range of Claas Lexion combine harvesters inherits a more spacious cab, the one from the Claas Jaguar forage harvester. The cab is thus 15 cm longer. The windscreen is also more than 10 cm wider.

In terms of ergonomics, the operator benefits from a new working environment with a new seat, hands-free telephony and a redesigned ?Cebis? on-board computer equipped with ?Cemos? assistance.

The Cebis has a larger screen, which now allows the operator to access a number of settings directly, such as cutting height, without having to return to the main menu.

The other novelty is Cemos, which is only available for the Lexion 700 series. Cemos is an assistance system that suggests settings to the driver. The driver is free to accept them or not.

Finally, the new Claas Lexion models feature an automatic forward speed system called ?Pilote Cruise II?. It provides automatic control of the forward speed in the field according to several modes: maximum throughput and optimal throughput (a compromise between forward speed and losses).

Finally, in countries where it is permitted, the new Lexion range is faster with a top speed of 30 km/h (the maximum speed in France is still 25 km/h). Note that the speed of the Lexion 750 Terra Trac is 40 km/h.
