CLAAS Rolls out LEXION 8900 TERRA TRAC in North America

New Flagship Combine Commemorates 500,000 Harvesters Produced Worldwide

OMAHA, Neb., (July 16, 2024) – CLAAS unveiled their LEXION 8900 TERRA TRAC for the first time on North American soil today at the Ag in Motion farm show in Saskatchewan, Canada. "More than a machine," the top model in the LEXION lineup offers the most available horsepower in their largest combine range, delivering 779 max horsepower (SAE) from a highly efficient 16.2L MAN engine with Dynamic power – an increase of 89 hp over the LEXION 8800 model.

The LEXION 8900 TERRA TRAC class-10+ combine is particularly well suited for the large-scale small grain operations common in western Canada and other key growing regions in the US. While the LEXION 8900 TERRA TRAC is new to North America, it’s been offered in select regions around the world since 2019.

The machine displayed at the Ag in Motion show is special for a couple of reasons: It’s the first LEXION 8900 TERRA TRAC combine available in North America, and it features a unique paint scheme and graphics commemorating the production of more than 500,000 combines since CLAAS – the undisputed European market leader for decades - started producing them in the 1930’s.

“For 25 years, the LEXION combine has delivered unparalleled performance and efficiency for growers across the globe,” said Combine Product Manager Greg Frenzel at CLAAS of America. “The LEXION 8900 TERRA TRAC offers farmers throughout North America more power and productivity than ever before with all of the familiar performance accessories farmers have come to expect from CLAAS.”
