Not necessarily as the Lexion has Dynamic Power so while it may have 160 more hp available, it may not be using all those horses as the engine power output will change depending on load and in a nice, dry easy to thresh crop would probably be running at a lower power level.

Don't believe everything you read in the brochures, limiting the maximum power of an engine with a reduced power map does not save any fuel while running at low load, the engine will use the fuel it needs to turn the load applied to it by the machine irrespective of what it max power setting is. To save fuel under part load conditions you'd need a smaller engine.

Unloading power boosts etc are on the premise that a certain model combine has a certain capacity, and the idea is that you dont have to compromise that capacity whilst unloading, but why not have full power all the time, if capacity is limited by engine power then why not have the capacity bonus when not unloading? All just about sales and marketing and trying to appear to offer an advantage over a competitor.

Maybe son/daughter or wife is going to surprise you!!

If they are paying I’ll be over the moon. However I suspect if it lands here it will be me paying!
