Are claas lexions a lexi-con??

Been following a new 770 with cemos automation for the best part of 3000 acres and it never seems to be that impressive. Average 35 tonnes an hour ish. Is that normal for these machines? Surely with cemos it should be on peak performance?

ours can sit at 80t/hr plus in decent wheat easy - 35-40 in OSR at sub 1% losses and rarely breaks

sounds like the one you followed needs a driver!

Old mcd says there was a lot o barley under the bouts o straw. Think the driver needs some training.

What are you calling decent wheat? 10t/ha?

 

[lexion780tt]

80t/hr spot rate more 60t/hr average even 780 with 40ft would struggle to do 80t/hrs chopping as a average 770 would struggle to so less than 45 ton/hr in wheat with any driver

Our machine (770tt 10.5m header) has averaged the following:
4.51ha/hour - header down hours so actual cutting over 7 seasons.

That’s across wheat, osr, barley, peas, rye, linseed. 80% of the time it’s swathing not chopping.

Spot rates in the fields are totally irrelevant as it’s whats tipped into the shed per hour that matters and I’d say for wheat we’d be around 40-45t/hr actually tipped up over a weighbridge.

What let’s the machine down without doubt is the header as it can’t feed fast or well enough to the combine.

Cemos is not as good as a decent operator IME. If your a steering wheel attendant who starts in the morning and finished at night without tweaking throughout the day then it’s brilliant. But it doesn’t react quick enough, seems to overthrash to get a good sample lowering output or to maximise output give a poor sample,there seems no middle ground which I believe a ‘operator’ can achieve

The convio looks like the way forward for these machines

Worked for claas for 15 years cemos was for students not as good as a good operator.

Could never work out why you would have such a expensive machine that collects all your money back in and put a student/steering wheel attendant on it!

Refreshing to have a realistic reply as regards output. We also have a 770 and it’s just completed it’s ninth season and if I send back 500 tonnes of wheat in a day I would consider it a successful day. I know for a fact it would not cut 800 tonnes a day no matter how good the operator thought they were.

Dads on out 760 narrow body 30” header and he’s pretty steady round ends .
Spot rate sits at 45-50t/h doesn’t accept many losses tbh and I think we are getting it back to shed pushed up at maybe 35 t/hr
He could open it up but we have to shift it a few miles some days so wouldn’t keep up

No way are you cutting 20 acres an hour over a whole day tho
