Claas

In the autumn of 2023, Claas introduced the Evion as its smallest model series. It shared a large part of its technology with the Trion, but the Evions were manufactured in China. The threshing mechanism had 5 concave bars and a threshing drum width of 142 cm. There was always one threshing drum. The concave bars were the same 440 cm ones as in the Trion 500 series. The engine was a 6.7-liter Cummins Stage V. The power rating of the largest Evion 450 was 258 hp, and, for example, the grain tank capacity (8,000 liters) was the same as in the smallest Trion. The transmission was mechanically controlled and had three gears. The grain tank unloading rate was 90 l/s.

All Claas options were available for a cutterbar up to 6.8 meters. The folding header was available in 4.5 or 5.4 meters. The base model Classic was designed for grain threshing. The parallel model Maxi (not the 410) was also suitable for maize, among other crops. It featured two speed ranges for the threshing drum, interchangeable concave segments, a differential lock, and an adjustable rear axle. Concave adjustment was hydraulically controlled as standard, and the sieve system was electrically operated. Basic information about the crops to be harvested could be stored in the Cemis 700 terminal (7 inches). Also standard was the Auto Crop Flow monitoring system to prevent blockages, which first warned the operator and then disengaged the cutterbar and feed drive. The Trend equipment package included a standard 52-blade chopper, and the Business package included a 72-blade Special Cut. Additionally, the Business package featured, among other things, a refrigerated compartment, electrically adjustable mirrors, a work lights Plus package, Auto Contour automatic header flotation, and 3D cleaning that distributes material across the upper sieve in the transverse direction. The cabin noise level was reported to be 76…79 dB.

Claas Evion 410-450

In the third-generation Lexion series, axial threshers were now called Hybrids. There were four versions of the 7400, with the width of the threshing drum being 142 cm. The 8700 series (170 cm) had three models. The engines were either 10.7- or 15.6-liter Mercedes engines or 12.4- or 16.2-liter MAN engines. The most powerful 8900 model had 790 hp. The engines met Stage 5 emission requirements through urea injection and particulate filters. The Dynamic Power function adjusted the engine to a more economical power curve when full power was not needed. The radiator fan speed also adjusted automatically according to cooling needs. The drivetrain now allowed a speed of 40 km/h and used fewer belts than before.

The diameter of the threshing drum had increased to 75 centimeters. In front of the threshing drum was a 45-centimeter accelerator drum and a 60-millimeter separation drum at the rear. All drums rotated at the same speed. The straw walker could be easily detached in sections to the side of the combine. Instead of concaves, the hybrid models had two threshing cylinders. Their position had been changed compared to previous models, but otherwise, changes in threshing technology were minimal. The sieving surfaces were made of plastic and could be pulled out from the front for cleaning. The hybrid models could be equipped with 4D sieves, which allowed side tilt control up to a 20% slope. The grain tank unloading speed was standard at 110 l/s for the 7000 series and 130 l/s for the 8000 series, with an optional 180 l/s.

The cab was more spacious and quieter than before. The Cebis touchscreen interface had been updated. Dedicated buttons for the most important functions remained. If auto-steering was equipped, it was controlled via a separate S10 terminal. Like new combines from other brands, Claas now also offered remote service connectivity. The discharge pipe swivel angle was increased to 105 degrees, and the unloading speed in the two largest models was 180 liters per second. The front wheels had a maximum diameter of 215 cm. Terra Trac tracked versions were available for models 7500, 7600, 7700, 8700, 8800, and 8900. This allowed a transport width of 349 cm in accordance with Central European regulations.

For 2023, a new cab previously seen in the Trion models was introduced. The 8700 and 8800 models received increased engine power. After reverse rotation, the feeder mechanism started more slowly. A tilting Montana version was introduced for the 7700 model. The grain tank capacity increased to 18,000 liters in models 6600, 6700, 7600, and 7700.

Claas Lexion 7400-8900

The third-generation Lexion models were introduced in the autumn of 2019. Claas stated that the update was the biggest product development project in its history. There were three 5-rotor models and four 6-rotor models. The engines were Mercedes-Benz 7.7- and 10.7-liter units, except for the largest model which had a 12.4-liter MAN engine. The engines met Stage 5 emission requirements using urea injection and a particulate filter. The Dynamic Power function adjusted the engine to a more economical power curve when full power was not needed. The radiator fan speed was also automatically adjusted according to cooling needs. The drivetrain now allowed a speed of 40 km/h and used fewer belts than before.

The threshing drum diameter had increased to 75 centimeters. In front of the threshing drum was a 45-centimeter acceleration drum and behind it a 60-millimeter separation drum. The straw walker sections could be easily removed in blocks from the side of the combine. A new feature in the rotor combines was the Jet Stream fan system, which blew some of the short straw away already before the sieves. The sieve adjustment was electric. Because of the larger threshing drums, the rotors were shorter than before. The threshing system was promised to be 25% more efficient than earlier models.

The cab was more spacious and quieter (72 dB). The Cebis touchscreen user interface had been redesigned. Important functions still had separate buttons. If equipped with automatic steering, control was handled via a separate S10 terminal. Like new combines from other brands, Claas now also offered remote connection to service. The unloading pipe’s swivel angle was increased to 105 degrees. Larger tires were available for the biggest models. Terra Trac tracked versions were available for models 5500, 6700, 6800, and 6900.

Introduced in 2021, the Claas Trion replaced the Tucano series. The straw walker combines are divided into two series: the 5-walker 500 series and the 6-walker 600 series. Compared to the Tucano, the new models are clearly more robust. Almost all technical specifications are identical to the earlier Lexion 600 series. The threshing capacity was promised to be about 10% higher than the Tucano models. All models are also available with the TerraTrac tracked version, and some can be had with the Montana hillside version. Unlike previous models, the Trions use Cummins engines that comply with emission level V. The smaller models have a 6.7-liter engine, and the two largest have an 8.9-liter engine. The nominal engine speed is 1900 rpm. The transmission is, as standard, mechanically operated and has two speeds.

The pre-threshing drum is 45 cm and the main threshing drum is 60 cm. The sieve adjustment is electrically controlled as standard. Also standard is the Jetstream turbine fan. The return auger can be viewed through an inspection window at the rear corner of the cab. Basic settings can be stored in memory slots and can be selected when changing crop types. There are also four memory positions for the table height setting. The grain tank has a standard capacity of 80–105 hectoliters and an unloading speed of 90 or 110 liters per second. The chaff spreader speed can be adjusted steplessly. All adjustments are gathered into the Cebis display and the Cmotion drive lever, which has one programmable button for the function considered most important. The noise level in the cab is stated to be 76 dB. The standard equipment is more limited than in the Lexion, but with options, the same level can be reached. A new optional feature was dynamic steering, which allows for the full steering angle at field speeds with 2/3 turn of the steering wheel.

The updates to the small Dominators over more than 20 years had been minimal. Production volumes were small: half of these combines were sold in Finland. Entering the 2000s, the engines were replaced by the Perkins 1000 series, and the power of the 6-cylinder models increased. The transmission was still always mechanical.

In 2003, the 48 and 58 models were discontinued. They were replaced by the economy model 68 Classic, which had reduced equipment. In the autumn of 2004, the 68 was replaced by the updated Dominator 150 Hydro.

Claas Dominator 48S-68S

Below the Tucano model, the Avero 240 was introduced in the summer of 2009. For the first time in a Claas four-rotor combine, an APS acceleration drum was placed in front of the threshing drum. The rotors had a new design but were 390 centimeters long, just like in the Dominator 130-150, and the sieving system corresponded to the Dominator’s. The cutter bars were the same as those in the Tucano and Lexion models. The use of the crop lifter auger and reverse rotation was hydraulic, and all electrical and hydraulic functions were connected to the header with a single multi-connector. Adjustable Vario headers and folding headers were also available.

The engine was a 6.6-liter Caterpillar with a gross power output of 198 hp. The Vista II cab was basically the same construction as in the Tucano. Standard equipment included, among other things, air conditioning, an air suspension seat, and threshing drum monitoring.

In the autumn of 2011, a smaller Avero 160 was introduced, which had a smaller grain tank and engine power, and the front threshing drum was omitted from the design. As an option, header side tilt and cutting height automation were available. Threshing drum monitoring was an optional extra on the 160.

In 2013, the Avero 240’s engine was changed to a 7.0-liter Perkins with urea injection. Along with this, the cooler was equipped with a much-desired rotary intake screen. The rotor space was widened upwards. In the 2020 models, the engines were switched to Stage V-compliant Cummins engines.

Starting from the beginning of 2019, Tucano models were equipped with Stage V compliant Mercedes-Benz engines featuring a new Dynamic Power function. In situations where full power was not required, the engine switched to an economy mode. The engines had a displacement of 7.7 liters, and the maximum power output remained unchanged. The cab featured a new armrest, a new control lever, and a new color Cebis touchscreen. The armrest included rocker switches for the main threshing adjustments, so the screen was needed less frequently than before. Electric adjustment of the sieves was standard equipment in Finland, while electric adjustment of the threshing clearance was always standard. Also new were shortcut buttons for the screen’s favorite functions.

At the end of the unloading pipe, there was an automatically operating flap that prevented grains from spilling onto the ground when the pipe was folded into the rest position. Lubrication of the unloading auger chain was automatic. As an optional extra, Auto Crop Flow system was available, which stopped the cutterbar and, if necessary, the threshing mechanism when it detected a blockage in the threshing drum, concaves, or chopper. New optional features also included electronic monitoring of the delimiters, a vacuum cleaner that sucked dust from grain moving on the center conveyor, and Vario headers adjustable in length from 7.7 to 9.3 meters. The hillside harvesting versions had been improved with the Montana models’ new front axle and the Auto Slope feature, which adjusted the fan speed when operating uphill or downhill.

The 400-series models featured an APS acceleration rotor that promised a 20% increase in threshing capacity. Both the 300- and 400-series included models with 5- and 6-concave configurations.

The first self-propelled combine harvester from Claas was the Hercules, introduced in 1953. However, the name was already in use by another manufacturer’s combine, so Claas had to change it to S.F. (= Selbstfahrer = self-propelled). The SF was quite a large combine harvester for its time. Standard features included hydraulic height adjustment for the cutting table and the elevator reel. The following year, the speed variators for both the threshing reel and driving speed were also changed to hydraulic operation. The engine was either a 4-cylinder diesel (60 hp) or a 6-cylinder gasoline engine (56 hp). The threshing reel width was 125 cm, and it had four beaters. The cutting width was standard 240 cm. For export markets, the SF was even sold with a 420 cm header. In Finland, the widest option was 360 cm. The combine could be equipped either with a sack-loading platform or a grain tank.

After minor changes made in 1961, the model designation became SFB. The most interesting fact is that as an alternative to Perkins, Claas offered the only engine they manufactured themselves in their history. The 4.7-liter air-cooled LD 40 engine produced 66 hp. Claas manufactured about 4,300 of these engines in total. For 1963, the SFB was renamed Matador Standard.

In Claas’s lineup, the only small self-propelled combine harvester had been the Huckepack, which was based on a 12/15-horsepower work machine carrier onto which the threshing machine was installed. In 1958, the Columbus and Europa models were introduced, equipped with an 80 cm wide threshing mechanism. The cutting width was 180 or 210 cm in the Columbus and 240 cm in the Europa. The engine was a VW industrial engine (27 or 38 hp) or a Perkins diesel. The Europa had longer threshing bars; otherwise, the dimensions were mostly similar.

Claas combines featured long, adjustable straw walkers. The height adjustment of the cutter bar and the feeding drum was hydraulic. Grain was transferred to the threshing drum by a shaker conveyor. The upper sieve was adjustable, and the lower sieve was replaceable. Optional accessories included a chopper or a baler. The engine was located next to the driver on the right side. The drive speed variator was hydraulically adjustable. Claas machines were true mass-production machines: 33,000 Columbus units and 32,000 Europa units were manufactured.

Claas Columbus/Europa

One of the largest combines of the early 1960s was the Claas Matador Gigant. Its threshing mechanism width was 125 cm and the cutting width ranged from 300 to 600 cm. The 5.8-liter Perkins engine was initially rated at 89 hp according to DIN standards, then 106 hp, and finally 95 hp. The steering was power-assisted. The grain tank was from the start designed as part of the combine’s structure, and the engine was located behind it. The cutting table was engaged separately from the threshing mechanism.

In 1962, a smaller Matador Standard was introduced alongside it. It had the same threshing mechanism, only with slightly shortened threshing elements. However, the engine was significantly smaller, with only 68 horsepower, and the cutting width was 260 cm. Compared to these figures, the threshing mechanism was robust and heavy. The Matador Standard replaced the older SFB model in the lineup.

Claas Matador

The Senator, introduced in 1966, was not only larger than the earlier Matador Gigant but also clearly more modern in appearance and color. The smaller Mercator, introduced a year later, was largely based on the Senator’s technology. The Protector, in turn, was a simplified model of the Mercator. It was available with 4- or 6-cylinder engines (Deutz/Perkins). Protectors and Mercators were equipped with rather wide threshing mechanisms but had low-powered engines. The engines were positioned above the right front wheel. Unlike earlier Claas models, the driver sat on the combine’s centerline. The Senator and Mercator were Claas’s first combines to offer an optional cab. Comfort features were cut back in the Protector; for example, the steering column was fixed.

In 1972, the model range was updated and all models were renamed Mercators. Following Claas’s approach, these models used both Perkins and MB engines. Earlier, Deutz and Ford options had also been available. For the year 1975, the Senator’s successor Mercator 70 was replaced by the Mercator 75, which featured so-called straw accelerators with intensive straw walkers. In some countries, the Senator 85 was sold, which largely corresponded to the Mercator 75 model. In England, Senator 60 and 70 models were also sold, which roughly corresponded to Mercators with the same numbers.

Claas's traditional small combine harvester, the Columbus, was followed by many successors. For small farms, the Comet, Cosmos, and Corsar models equipped with an 80 cm threshing mechanism were available, as well as the Consul with a 106 cm mechanism. The combines were equipped with relatively wide threshing mechanisms but had low-powered engines.

There was a wide variety of engine options overall. The Comet could be fitted with a 29 or 38 hp VW industrial engine, or a 34 hp Perkins or MB diesel. The Cosmos could be equipped with a 45 hp diesel either from Ford, Perkins, or Deutz. In Finland, mainly the 52 hp Perkins was sold, which was also the basic engine for the Corsar, alongside Ford and Deutz engines of the same power. The Consul had either a 68 hp Perkins or MB engine. The engines were positioned above the right wheel.

The design of the combines was modern and angular. The Consul had hydrostatic steering. The grain tanks were larger than before. The unloading auger height was adjustable, and in the lowest position it allowed for bagging.

The first Dominators replaced the Senator lineup as the flagship models in Claas's range. The Dominators were Claas's first 5- and 6-shaft models and at the same time the first models with hydraulic drive.

The original Dominator 80 and 100 were replaced by the updated 85 and 105 models in 1974. These had, as optional extras, the Retromat hydraulic reverser and Intensiv-Schüttler straw walkers. The 85 was the first Claas combine harvester available with hillside harvesting equipment, where the machinery could be tilted.

The Claas Compacts represented some of the smallest combine harvesters on the market in the 1970s. Only a few of the smallest Compact 20 models were brought to Finland. Starting from 1975, the Compact 25 was available only with a diesel engine. At the same time, the tires became larger. The larger Compact 30 also replaced the Corsar in 1975. A specialty of the Compacts was the unusually large number of different chains and belts.

The first small Dominators 56 and 76 were introduced in 1978. Their features included a new table lightening, a hydraulically foldable unloading auger, and open threshers. In 1979, the 66 was introduced between the 56 and 76, which was a 6-cylinder version of the 56. These models had a new cab with tinted windows and an optional heater. The design was very modern and stylish. The 76 was also available as a hillside threshing version, the 76 H.

The Dominator 106 and the slightly later introduced 96 were successors to the Dominator 105. However, only the 106 had 6 threshing elements. The Dominator 86 replaced the Dominator 85 in 1980. The 56 and 66 were already replaced in 1982 by the new 58 and 68 models.

The smallest models 38 and 48 were the first to be introduced in the new 8 series, which were mainly successors to the old Consul. The 38 was the only model in the new lineup with 3 cylinders. A year later, the successors to the 56 and 66, the 58 and 68, were introduced, featuring longer cylinders compared to the smaller models. Otherwise, the differences between the models were mainly limited to engine power, grain tank size, and equipment.

The Dominator 116 CS was Claas's first cylinder combine and at one time the most efficient combine in Europe. The model name was later changed to Commandor. In the Commandors, the rasp bars were replaced with 8 transverse 450 mm cylinders. As an optional accessory, there was a 3D hillside threshing sieve system, in which the upper sieve was moved laterally to spread the grains more evenly across the sieve. The 116 CS was said to be 20-25% more efficient than the Dominator 106, but it was nearly 30% more expensive. The CS models also suffered from a high engine power requirement and costly repairs. The cab noise level was under 80 dB.

In 1990, the 116 CS was replaced by the more powerful 228 CS and the model range was reduced. The 228 CS introduced the new Auto Contour table flotation automation. With the 228 CS, a world record was achieved by harvesting 358 tons of wheat from 44.5 hectares in 8 hours.

The most popular Claas models in the late 1980s, namely the 88 and 98, had 5 threshing bars, while the 108 was a 6-threshing bar model. The four-threshing bar 78 was a combination of the technology from the 68 and the larger models. Compared to the smaller models, differences included, among other things, open threshing bars, a larger cab, and the 88-model unloading pipe. The most important innovation compared to the preceding 76-106 models was the new cab. The S models were equipped with mechanical power transmission, while the SL models had hydraulic. Engines used included products from both Perkins and MB, and in many cases, the engines of the S and SL models differed from each other.

In Finland, the small Dominators became Sampo's main competitor as competitors gradually ceased production of small combines. The S models introduced in 1987 had slightly more powerful engines than before. In 1995, the lineup was simplified: production of the 38 ended, and the 48 received longer concaves and a larger grain tank from the bigger models. The 58 was primarily marketed in Finland with a 6-cylinder engine.

In 1990, more powerful Maxi versions of the 88-118 models were introduced. Standard features included the Auto Contour system, which had microprocessor-controlled mower deck flotation and a 3-degree side tilt. The Maxis mostly used MB engines. The 118 model equipped with an 11-liter engine was a new addition in 1990.

Above the 88-118 models, the Mega series was introduced in the autumn of 1993, which largely replaced the Commandor cylinder combines. The technology was largely similar to that of the smaller models. The threshing mechanism was equipped with an APS acceleration drum (Accelerated Pre-Separation) in front of the threshing cylinder and straw walkers in the separation area. The 202-204 models had 5 threshing segments, and the 208-218 models had 6 threshing segments. In the Mega models, Claas was the first to introduce a folding header for transport position.

The first model of the popular Lexion series was the 480, in which the concaves were replaced by two transverse separating rotors. In 1997, the concave combines 440-460 were introduced alongside it, which also had an APS accelerator drum in front of the threshing cylinder. The functions were controlled and monitored using the CEBIS display, which also allowed threshing settings to be saved. In addition to standard cutting tables, foldable tables or new Vario tables were available, whose length could be adjusted to be 10 cm shorter or 20 cm longer than normal (with cover plates, even up to 50 cm longer). As an optional accessory, the Laser Pilot was available, which guided the combine along the edge of the swath. Some models were also available in the Terra Trac tracked version. The Caterpillar-engined Evolution models introduced for the 2002 season can be distinguished by the model designation decal, similar to the one shown in the picture. The most popular combine harvester in Europe in the early 2000s was the Lexion 480.

Small Lexion models replaced the Mega series, the production of which was still continued mainly for the Eastern European markets. Like the larger Lexion models, the 405-430 models also featured versatile electronics and an APS acceleration drum. The 2002 Evolution series was equipped with more powerful Caterpillar engines. In 2003, the series was replaced by the 500-series Lexions.

Claas Dominator 88 VX – 108 VX

The follow-up to the popular 88–118 models was named the Medion. The 88-series was dropped altogether because even the smallest Medion matched the former 98. The concave length grew from 3.9 to 4.4 meters, and each set of concaves was fitted with two straw-walker axles. The 340 was the only model in the range with six walkers. Otherwise, the differences between models were largely limited to engine output. All engines were MB’s 6.4-liter, intercooled units. In its first years on the market, the 310 was also delivered to Finland equipped with a Perkins engine.

The upper and lower sieves moved in opposite directions, and each sieve consisted of two parts for easier handling. The grain elevator was now the same as those used in the Lexion series. Grain-tank capacity had increased to 5.8 m³ (58 hl), and the diameter of the unloading auger was also larger than before. The hydraulic system was built around Linde components. The front axle was beefed up and fitted with disc brakes. The cab was largely identical to the Lexion-style cab used on the 88 VX, and noise levels were quoted at 78 dB. Prices were noticeably higher than those of the predecessors.

In previous years, the Mega range had been offered mainly to Eastern European markets as a cheaper alternative to the Lexion. For 2004, however, it was completely redesigned and pushed back onto the market more strongly. Unlike the Medion models, the Megas featured an accelerator drum in front of the cutterbar. In the threshing area there was a straw chopper, and the grain tank was made even larger. There were two versions: the 350 with five straw walkers and the 360 with six straw walkers. The engines were swapped out for the same water-to-air intercooler 6.4-litre units used in the Medions, producing 220 hp and 245 hp. The Lexion-style cab had a noise level of 78 dB. For 2006, the Mega 370 was introduced, although it was not sold in all countries.

In the autumn of 2003, the 500 series Lexion models were introduced. The lineup had jumped up a notch, so for example the previous 420 was succeeded by the 510 in terms of engine power and grain tank capacity. For hillside harvesting, Montana sidehill models were available, and the 560 could also be ordered in a Terra-Trac tracked version. All models came standard with a straw conditioner. A high-capacity forage chopper was also offered. The engagement of the header drive had been softened. On models equipped with the straw walker, the tailboard now deflected downward under overload conditions even on the smaller machines. The six-walker models featured a more powerful tank unloading system.

As with the preceding Evolution series, the engines were made by Caterpillar. In the 560, there was a new 10.3-liter, 360-horsepower engine with common-rail injection. For 2006, most models received updated engines, and the outputs of the larger machines were increased slightly. At the same time, the forage choppers were made more powerful.

In 2003, the Lexion 500 series cylinder threshers introduced were the 570 and 580. The smaller model used the same 12-liter Caterpillar engine as the earlier flagship 480, while the 580 was fitted with a 16-liter V8. The nominal power ratings were 371 and 430 hp, but at 100 rpm lower engine speed the DIN ratings were 401 and 480 hp. As before, the 570 came with a narrower threshing unit. Its discharge conveyor was built from extendable plastic sections.

The widest headers were now also available in length-adjustable Vario versions. The optional Laser Pilot was installed at both ends of the header. The cab had been updated mainly in terms of its controls. The CEBIS system now offered GSM connectivity, allowing data to be transferred to a home computer. Noise level in the Lexion cab was 75 dB. The 570 was also offered in a Montana hillside-harvesting version and the 580 in a Terra Trac rubber-belt version.

For 2006, a lower-power base model, the 570C, was introduced and the engine outputs of the other models were increased. In some countries, the updated 570 was badged as the 570+.

The Claas Dominator series was updated in the fall of 2004. The new models were based on the previous 68. Of the models, the 130 was equipped with a mechanical transmission, and the 140 and 150 with a hydrostatic transmission, whose components were the same as in the old 88. The threshing mechanism’s dimensions matched the earlier version. On top of the 3.9-meter straw walkers was a reversing shaft. The grain tank had a capacity of either 32 or 40 hectoliters. The cab was similar to the previous single-person model. The noise level was stated to be 80 dB. The cutting tables were the same C-series tables used in larger Claas models. The reversion system was hydraulic. The engines were 6-liter Perkins, which, according to the new owner, were referred to as Caterpillar. A hillside threshing sieve was available as an optional accessory.

The 2008 Dominator 150 Hydro Spezial model came as standard with air conditioning and heating equipment, as well as threshing pin monitoring.

10 years after the start of production of the first Lexion rotary combine, Claas introduced its new flagship, the Lexion 600, in the autumn of 2005. At the same time, it was the most powerful combine in the world and 20-25% more efficient than the Lexion 580. The Lexion 600 was powered by a 16-liter Mercedes V8 engine, with a maximum DIN output of 556 hp. The drivetrain had 2 gears, and the top speed was 30 km/h.

The cutting platform was available in 7.5 or 9.0 meters, and an 11-meter version was introduced in 2009. The standard equipment offered little more than the smaller models, but optional extras included, among others, Cruise Pilot, which automatically adjusted the driving speed by monitoring the threshing drum and engine load. The driving direction could be guided using the familiar Laser Pilot or the new GPS Pilot. Standard was also the Auto Contour II automatic cutting platform height adjustment. Behind the APS acceleration drum and the main threshing drum was the Roto Plus post-threshing drum. The sieving area was slightly larger than that of the 580, and the chopper was a more powerful Special Cut II, which also became standard on the 580. The starting price of the Lexion 600 without the cutting platform was 300,000 euros in Germany.

Claas introduced the Tucano in autumn 2007 as the successor to the Medion and Mega series. The smaller 300-series threshing unit is based on the Medion, while the 400-series—with its acceleration roller—is derived from the Mega. Both series offered models with five and six straw walkers, each walker being equipped with a straw shaker. Unlike its predecessors, the Tucano used the same cutter bars as the Lexion. In addition to the basic model, there were 4.5 m and 5.4 m folding tables as well as length-adjustable Vario tables. The unloading auger is driven hydraulically.

The machines were powered by 6.4 L and 7.2 L Mercedes engines. Unlike earlier models, the engine was now positioned behind the grain tank, so filling the tank no longer caused issues with the rear axle load. Significant improvements were also made in the cab. All functions are monitored via the CEBIS display, which also includes threshing-drum monitoring. CEBIS is simpler than on the Lexion—threshing settings cannot be stored and electronic sieve adjustment is not included as standard. Other Lexion features, such as table tilt and Laser Pilot steering, are available as options. Automatic climate control is standard in the cab. The noise level is rated at 76 dB.

In the Claas Tucano Hybrid introduced in the summer of 2009, the threshing drums were replaced with a longitudinal separating cylinder with a diameter of 57 centimeters. Otherwise, the technology corresponded to the 6-drum Tucano 440/450 models, meaning that in front of the drum there was a 45-centimeter diameter threshing drum and an APS acceleration drum. The threshing capacity of the hybrids was promised to be 15% more efficient than that of the Tucano 450 and roughly comparable to the Lexion 540 drum combine. The model 470 had a 7.2-liter MB engine, and the 480 had an 8.8-liter Cat engine. There were no other differences between the models. Compared to the Lexion, the Tucano Hybrid was more lightly equipped and cheaper.

For the year 2013, the system was switched to the Cebit II control system, which was the same as in the Lexion. The MB engine received urea injection, and the 480 model was removed from the EU market lineup.

The Lexion series of combine harvesters were updated to the 700 series in the model change of autumn 2010. The narrow threshing machine models 740 and 750 were equipped with 12.5-liter Caterpillar engines, and the wide-rotor models 760 and 770 had Mercedes V8s. Except for the 740, a Terra Trac tracked version was also available, with the track system now featuring hydropneumatic suspension. With the narrowest tracks, the transport width remained under 3.5 meters. The cab was new and its noise level was reported to be 70 dB. Adjustments on the Cebis II control unit were made by turning a physical knob. The widest cutting table was 12 meters. A new feature was the Maxflo table equipped with a belt conveyor.

In the 2013 model range, low-emission engines were introduced. In the MB engines, Stage 3b emissions were achieved with urea injection, and in the Caterpillar engines with exhaust gas recirculation and particulate filters. All model numbers were lowered by one step, with a new top model, the 780. For example, the previous 760 was 530 horsepower and equipped with a wide threshing rotor. The new 760 had only 490 horsepower and a narrow threshing rotor.

Claas Lexion 740-780

For the 2011 season, the model numbers of the Lexion series shifted up by 100 in the hill versions, becoming the 600 series. For hillside harvesting, Montana parallel models were available in the 630 and 670, and the 670 was also available as a Terra-Trac rubber track version, whose top speed had been increased to 40 km/h thanks to the hydro-pneumatic suspension. The updates followed the familiar pattern: more engine power, larger grain tanks, a more comfortable cab, and new electronics. The cab, named Vista II, was more spacious than before. The Cebit II control unit featured an 8.5" color display, with much of the adjustments having moved from arrow key use to rotary switches.

The hydraulics were now load-sensing, delivering 50% more output than before—that is, 120 liters per minute. Like other combine manufacturers, Claas also introduced as an option the Maxflo cutting platform equipped with a conveyor belt. The threshing system based on three reels remained almost unchanged.

For the 2013 season, all models featured 9.3-liter Caterpillar engines compliant with Stage 3b standards. The 640 model was removed from the lineup. The capacity of the grain tanks was slightly increased on all models.

For 2017, Mercedes engines were introduced. The two largest models had a displacement of 10.7 liters and the others 7.7 liters. At the same time, some optional features previously seen in the 700 series were introduced, such as Auto Slope, which adjusts the fan speed on slopes, and Auto Cleaning, which adjusts the sieves.

Claas Lexion 620-670

In the 2013 Tucano models, there was a switch to 7.2-liter MB engines equipped with urea injection. The urea pipes were automatically emptied with compressed air when the engine was turned off. The Cebit system was updated to be similar to that of the Lexion, meaning most adjustments were made by turning a physical knob. The new model was the 420, which corresponded to the 430 equipped with a pre-chaffer, except for having lower engine power and a smaller grain tank.

In the Tucano series, the 400 models were equipped with the APS acceleration chaffer. Both the 300 and 400 series had 5- and 6-rasp models. Both the 320 and 330 now had the same 238-horsepower engine, so the practical difference was the size of the grain tank. As a result, the 330 was removed from the Finnish selection.

In the fall of 2014, the second generation Tucanos were introduced. The most visible change was that the unloading auger now exited from the top of the grain tank. The unloading speed was now 20…40% higher than before. The tank covers opened electrically from the cab. In the cab, there was now a large window to the grain tank. The threshing interval adjustment had become electro-hydraulic. If a stone reached the straw walker, the pressure accumulator would give way and lower the straw walker. In the four-wheel-drive version, more powerful hydraulic motors located inside the axle replaced the hub motors. Most of the lubrication points were now handled by an automatic central lubrication system.

In the Tucanos, the 400-series models were equipped with an APS acceleration drum. Both the 300 and 400 series had 5- and 6- concave models. The engines were Mercedes with a displacement increased to 7.7 liters. There was slightly more power than before. To meet Tier 4 Final requirements, urea injection and exhaust gas recirculation were used. For 2015, engines complying with the previous emission standard but equipped with urea injection were also delivered. In the combine header selection, new were Vario headers adjustable from -10 cm to +60 cm in length and Cerio headers adjustable from -10 cm to +10 cm. The cab noise level was reported as 74 dB.

In the Claas Tucano Hybrid, the rasp bars were replaced by a longitudinal separation cylinder with a diameter of 57 cm. Its speed could be adjusted steplessly from 480 to 920 rpm. In the second-generation Tucano range introduced for 2015 there was only one hybrid model: the 570, equipped with a 7.7-liter Mercedes-Benz engine producing 354 horsepower. The other updates were the same as on the smaller Tucanos: the unloading auger now started from the top of the tank, and the straw walkers were hydraulically adjustable. Engaging and disengaging the chopper on the hybrid model was done hydraulically.

For 2017, Claas introduced the 560 Hybrid with a 132 cm threshing unit, and the 570’s grain tank capacity was increased to 100 hectoliters.

Claas Tucano 560-570 Hybrid

The Lexion 700 series cylinder combines were updated for the 2016 season. With the exception of the Mercedes engine, the middle model now featured a 12.5-liter Perkins engine. All engines had urea injection and exhaust gas recirculation. The diameter of the straw chopper rotor was increased by 5 cm, and the straw spreader was renewed. The sieving system of the hillside combine version had a new system called 4D, which, in addition to lateral oscillation of the upper sieve, included an additional row of rotor closing flaps and automatic speed control of the fan. The range of cutting platforms included many new versions. Maxflex platforms equipped with a spring steel beam, adapted to ground surface contours, were now available starting from 5.6 meters. Mechanically length-adjustable Cerio platforms also had narrower options than before.

Except for the 740, a Terra Trac tracked version was also available, with the track system being hydropneumatically suspended. The tracked versions could also be equipped for a road speed of 40 km/h. The Montana hillside combine version was available for models 750 and 760. The cab now featured a 43-liter cooler box. The noise level was reported as 70 dB.

Since the beginning of 2019, Tucanos have been equipped with Stage V compliant Mercedes-Benz engines featuring a new Dynamic Power function. In situations where full power was not required, the engine switched to an economy mode. The engines were 7.7 liters in size and their maximum power output remained unchanged. However, there were now two Hybrid models available, both equipped with 132 cm and 158 cm threshing drums respectively. Instead of rasp bars, the Hybrids had a longitudinal separating cylinder with a diameter of 57 centimeters.

The cab featured a new armrest, a new control lever, and a new color Cebis touchscreen. The armrest included toggle switches for the most important threshing adjustments, so the display was needed less frequently than before. Electric adjustment of the sieves was standard in Finland, while electric adjustment of the threshing gap was always standard. New were also quick buttons for favorite functions on the screen. At the end of the discharge pipe, there was an automatically operating flap that prevented grains from falling to the ground when the pipe was folded into the rest position. The chain lubrication of the unloading auger was automatic.

As an option, the Auto Crop Flow system was available, which stopped the header and, if necessary, also the threshing machinery when it detected a blockage in the threshing drum, separating drum, or chopper. Other new optional features included electronic monitor control of the grain tank extensions, a vacuum cleaner that sucked dust from grain conveyed by the tilt conveyor, and Vario headers adjustable in length from 7.7 to 9.3 meters. Slope harvesting versions were improved with a new front axle from the Montana models and the Auto Slope feature, which adjusted the fan speed when going uphill and downhill.

Claas Tucano 550-580 Hybrid

Here is the English translation:

Introduced in 2021, the Claas Trion replaced the Tucano series. There were three models of hybrid combines. The 720 and 730 had the straw walkers replaced by a single 570-mm drum, while the 750 had two 420-mm drums. The engines were 8.9-liter Cummins units with a maximum power output of 367–435 hp. The transmission was, as standard, mechanically operated with two gears.

The pre-threshing drum is 45 cm in diameter and the main threshing drum is 60 cm. The sieve adjustment is electrically operated as standard. The Jetstream turbine fan is also standard. There is an inspection window in the rear corner of the cab for viewing the returns auger. Basic machine settings can be saved in memory slots, making them easy to select when changing crop types. There are also four memory slots for the header position. The grain tank has a standard capacity of 105–110 hectoliters, and the unloading rate is 110 or 130 liters per second. The speed of the straw chopper can be adjusted steplessly. All settings are collected in the Cebis display and the Cmotion drive lever, which features one programmable switch for the most important function. The noise level in the cab is promised to be 76 dB. The standard equipment is more limited than that of the Lexion models, but with optional extras, it can reach the same level. A new optional feature was dynamic steering, which allows for full turning angle in the field at 2/3 of a turn of the steering wheel.

Claas Trion 720-750

For the year 1963, the gap in Claas's combine harvester range between the Europ and the Matador was filled with the medium-sized Mercur. The technology was closely related to the smaller Europ, but the dimensions had been increased. The width of the threshing mechanism was 106 cm. The cutting width was 260 or 300 cm. The 4-cylinder Perkins engine produced 52 hp according to DIN. In relation to the cutting width and threshing drum, the engine power, cleaning system, and straw walkers were quite small. Instead of drive wheels, a track system was available, for example, for rice harvesting. The speeds of the threshing drum and straw elevator could be adjusted from the driver's seat.
