What the Lexion 8900 is used for
The Lexion 8900 suits very large wheat, barley and oilseed rape enterprises, plus contractors handling extensive British arable acreages. Its APS SYNFLOW HYBRID system with twin rotors is intended for exceptional capacity where crop condition, weather and site logistics permit.
With a 15,000-litre grain tank and CLAAS headers up to 13.8 m, it needs ample field access and a coordinated support system. Trailer availability, drying capacity and storage must keep pace if its potential is to be used effectively.
Why the Claas Lexion 8900 stands out
The 8900 stands apart through APS SYNFLOW HYBRID threshing with twin rotors, a Mercedes-Benz V8 diesel of about 790 hp or 581 kW, and a 15,000-litre grain tank. CLAAS headers up to 13.8 m reinforce its flagship status. It is among the highest-capacity combines available, although its size makes access, transport and maintenance planning central considerations.
Buying a used Claas Lexion 8900
Check the Mercedes-Benz V8 diesel for cold-start behaviour, excess smoke, sound oil pressure and a complete service trail. Test hydraulics, transmission operation and brakes, and inspect APS SYNFLOW HYBRID and twin-rotor components for wear. Examine grain-handling equipment, tank area, tinwork for corrosion, tyres and header condition. Verify serial and registration details, software and machine originality against records. 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.
