The Claas dealer do service on our Claas Lexion 650 and overfill with 2,5 liter motor Oil!
Should I be worrid abou it!
It is a Mercedes motor in it.

Should be easy enough to drain out, I'd drain it out personally.
If you don't it'll either leak out or burn it, I have seen an older V6 turbo in a 115 self destruct when it started to burn it's own oil.
Obviously not suggesting your engine will do this, but no, drain it back down to Max mark on dipstick, when it's cold & been stood overnight.

Contact the dealer and tell them to do it also tell them your not paying for their mistakes..... how can they make a mistake like that... 2.5 litres is well over half a gallon in old money
I have a petter ph1 and used to own Mazda B2500 pickup and both go a lot better when the oil level was kept just above the
Minimum mark but I am not suggesting you do likewise
 
Just a suggestion
Is it possible that diesel has leaked into sump somehow..... either by faulty lift pump or injector pump because 2.5 litres of oil is a lot to overfill
