Hi… ready for something big? 😉

Today I’m taking you inside a machine that doesn’t just harvest — it dominates the field.

Meet the Claas Lexion 8900, a combine that blends raw power, massive capacity and cutting-edge automation into one seriously impressive package.

And trust me… this one makes an entrance.

Unmatched Power

Let’s start with what makes it famous.

The Lexion 8900 is powered by a MAN D42 engine, a 6-cylinder, 16.2-liter unit delivering up to 790 hp.

That puts it at the very top of the global combine segment in terms of power—although, to be fair, it shares that title with the AGCO Ideal 10T, which uses the same engine platform.

Either way… we’re talking about the absolute elite.

Maximum Throughput

One of the key strengths of the Lexion 8900 is its APS Synflow Hybrid threshing system, combining:

• 450 mm accelerator cylinder

• 755 mm threshing drum

• 600 mm feed cylinder

This setup ensures smooth crop flow and consistent feeding into the separation system.

The Roto Plus system features two longitudinal rotors (4,200 × 445 mm), delivering a large working area and efficient grain separation.

👉 Result:

• Up to 25% higher capacity vs. previous generations

• High grain quality

• Reduced losses

Advanced Cleaning Performance

The Jet Stream cleaning system elevates grain cleaning to another level.

• Pre-cleaning with pressurized airflow

• Double cascade cleaning step

• 3D slope compensation (up to 20%)

This ensures uniform material distribution across the sieves—even on uneven terrain.

Large Grain Tank and Fast Unloading

To match its processing capacity, the Lexion 8900 includes an 18,000-liter grain tank.

Unloading performance is equally strong:

• 180 liters/second unloading rate

• 105° auger swing for improved visibility

Less waiting, more harvesting.

XXL Headers

The Lexion 8900 is designed to handle headers of 13.8 meters (45 ft) and beyond.

This allows:

• Greater field coverage

• Higher productivity

• Reduced operating time

Full Automation with CEMOS

Technology is where this machine really stands out.

At its core is the CEMOS Automatic system, which continuously optimizes combine settings based on real-time data, including:

• Grain quality

• Threshing performance

• Cleaning efficiency

• Residue management

• Throughput

Supporting systems include:

• Grain Quality Camera (detects broken grains and impurities)

• Quantimeter yield system (high-precision yield measurement without hectoliter weight calibration)

Efficiency at Every Level

The Lexion 8900 integrates smart systems to reduce fuel consumption and improve performance:

• Dynamic Power → adjusts engine output based on load (up to 10% fuel savings)

• Dynamic Cooling → variable fan speed with clean top-down airflow system

These features help maintain optimal engine performance while reducing operating costs.

Premium Cab Experience

Inside the cab, everything is designed for long working days:

• Climate-controlled environment

• Adjustable seating

• CEBIS control system for real-time monitoring and adjustments

It’s a workspace built for both comfort and precision.

Impressive Dimensions

This combine doesn’t go unnoticed.

• Length: 14.5 meters

• Height: 4 meters

• Weight: ~22,000 kg (depending on configuration)

It’s big. Really big.

TerraTrac System

In its TerraTrac configuration, the Lexion 8900 features next-generation rubber tracks:

• 890 mm track width

• Up to 40 km/h transport speed

• Reduced soil compaction

Perfect for maintaining field conditions while maximizing efficiency.

Lexion 8000 Series

The 8900 is the flagship of the Claas Lexion 8000 range, which includes:

• Lexion 8600 — 549 hp

• Lexion 8700 — 626 hp

• Lexion 8800 — 700 hp

• Lexion 8900 — 790 hp

Availability varies by region. In markets such as Argentina, the top model offered is typically the Lexion 8800.

Final Take

The Claas Lexion 8900 is built for high-capacity, large-scale farming operations.

It combines:

• Industry-leading power

• Hybrid threshing efficiency

• Advanced automation

• Intelligent energy management

All designed to deliver maximum productivity in the field.

And now that you’ve stepped inside the most powerful combine out there…

Tell me — would you really want to climb down from this one? 🚜✨
