In terms of output the 6800 is quite phenomenal. It regularly exceeds the daily throughputs of the 750 and it does so comfortably.

I’m convinced this is down to the changes made at the front end of the machine. That extra separator and concave plus the bigger diameter main drum means the crop flow is so much smoother and much more of the threshing is done up front.

As a family we’ve run CLAAS combines for the last 60 years – my grandfather was one of the first people in the area with an original SF. 

And, although we’ve remained loyal to the brand, we’re always keen to see what other manufacturers are doing. When it comes to innovation, CLAAS always seems to be one step ahead of the competition and the 6800 is no exception – it’s got some really clever technology on board.
