Speaking honestly, the Claas Lexion 480 has shown its capabilities during the harvest. It came with two headers - a standard 8-meter and a 12-row one for sunflowers - which provided flexibility. The threshing mechanism combined rotary and dual drum technology, achieving efficient processing. Tires showed decent wear but were serviceable. Minor updates, like filter replacement, were necessary. Interesting machine overall.

Spent some time using the Jaguar 870 and, honestly, it gets the job done quite well. The 7.5-meter Orbis header works efficiently, improving field processing speed. Maintenance access points are conveniently located, making routine checks easier. Though, the hydraulic system features could be a bit smoother under load. Overall, a reliable addition to the fleet.

Used the Lexion 480 on our farm for a while now. Honestly, not bad, just gotta keep on top of the maintenance. Changing fluids and greasing stuff takes a bit of time, but as long as you do it, she keeps going. I like that it's pretty easy to get into most of the service points, except for a couple spots under the auger - those are a nightmare. Always ends up with someone getting covered in grease, but that's farming I guess. Ran it on wheat and barley, no big hiccups. Starts up without issue, haven't been stuck with any surprises (except maybe some pesky critters in the tank). For the price, it's fair, but not super cheap for parts. The cab isn't the best for comfort if you're in it all day, bit noisy too. Gets the harvest done though, especially with a good cleaning and regular checks.
