"The new combine has completely blown my expectations out of the water"

“Running two combines has given us the output we require to ensure we clear crops at their best and importantly before we see any impact on germination rates,” explains Kit Papworth. “But there’s a cost to running a pair of machines and the associated trailers and infrastructure. Over the last few years I’ve done a lot of spreadsheet-bashing to see if we could streamline the job with a move to a single harvester. “Hearing that CLAAS had a new generation of high-output LEXION on the way, I was keen to put our name down to have a pre-production machine and test the theory.”
