We may be getting a used Lexion 760 and it has linseed rotors fitted which we could possibly have changed for ordinary ones. Been told by the rep ordinary rotors are gentler on the straw and slightly more efficient at separating the grain from the straw. We don't grow linseed at present so would you change them or leave be?

I just think they are over hyped for what they are. Nothing particularly wrong with them. But my farming friends can't really believe how little I have go wrong with my CRs, and they all have Lexions.
Claas have a very good marketing department, CNH's is non existent so I feel I should help then out as they have a good product. I must be crazy as we are in a CNH dealer vacuum here, but APH are good for parts and help, and it doesn't go wrong that often.
I did demo a 760TT. It was noisy and didn't like turning round, and no better performance than my CR980. I also had a JD S series hillsider on a different occasion. That was also noisy and made me sick wobbling from side to side. I parked them both up and carried on with my CR. Now got a CR9080 on tracks.
I think the Claas is probably better in damp conditions, but other than that why has it got all those belts and pulleys. Oh because it has so many more moving parts. KISS??
