CAT Lexion Combine
Objective: The joint manufacturing effort of Claas (Germany) and Caterpillar introduced an exciting, new combine for North American growers of wheat, corn, soybeans and rice. |
Features: The opening stresses weather and breakdown - two critical elements in a farmer's plight to bring in the harvest. Their size requires combines to be shot from the air or long-distances with extreme focal length. Miss a shot in these huge fields and you'll wait 40 minutes for the driver to complete his pass and come around again. "Harvesting demands performance." |
