There’s absolutely no doubt this latest generation of LEXION is a big step on from what’s gone before and we’re keen to have another whenour 780 is due for changing.

First and foremost it’s down to back-up. The team at CLAAS EASTERN in Sleaford are a really good bunch of lads. Whether you’re dealing with someone in the stores, sales or the fitters, every one of them knows what they’re doing and is willing to help. On top of that we like the machines and know they’ll do the best possible job for us. And when it comes to running costs you don’t generally get too many nasty surprises – they hold their value so you can budget properly ahd plan for a sensible replacement policy.

What we hadn’t appreciated is what a difference swapping to a CONVIO header would make. If we can gain 20% extra output and go on for an extra couple of hours in the evening, then it gives us the capacity to comfortably deal with what we’ve got and a bit more without having to rush to change the combines.
