History
In 1995 Claas Lexion for the first time manufactured large combines. The combines with a harvesting capacity of 40 tons of grain per hour and was at that time the most powerful combine harvester in the world. The Lexion 480 had the same APS system in which the accelerator before the threshing drum is like the Claas Mega. Instead of shaking but two rotors were used. As a result, the unit ran smoothly and the throughput was much higher than in a conventional shaker machine.
From 1999 Claas worked with the US agricultural and construction machinery manufacturer Caterpillar and sold in North America under the Lexion brand of CAT. 2002 Claas took over 50% of the joint venture with Caterpillar and the combine harvester in the U.S.. The harvester produced there were still marketed in North America as CAT Caterpillar Lexion about the dealer network.
