What the Lexion 760 is used for
The Lexion 760 suits high-output harvesting of wheat, barley and oilseed rape on large British arable units. Its APS hybrid system with ROTO PLUS twin rotors is aimed at maintaining throughput in sizeable crops when conditions, logistics and setup are right.
It is a strong contractor candidate where fields and access suit a CLAAS header up to 12 m. On farm, trailers, drying capacity and labour must be planned around its output so the combine is not left waiting.
Why the Claas Lexion 760 stands out
The 760 is notable as a widely seen UK large combine, pairing APS hybrid threshing with ROTO PLUS twin rotors. Its Mercedes-Benz diesel provides about 500 hp, with an 11,000-litre grain tank and CLAAS headers up to 12 m available. That makes it a serious acreage machine, while transport width, storage and component condition require practical attention.
Buying a used Claas Lexion 760
Check the Mercedes-Benz diesel for clean starting, abnormal smoke, stable oil pressure and documented servicing. Operate the hydraulics, transmission and brakes, and inspect APS and rotor areas for wear. Examine grain-handling functions, the 11,000-litre tank area, tinwork for corrosion, tyres and header condition. Verify serial and registration details, claimed originality and service records before committing. Have it inspected. Confirm figures and originality against TractorData.com and club records; values vary by condition, so check current listings rather than a fixed price.
