The line includes a full range of sizes: class 6, 7, 8 and the industry s first class 9 machines. With industry-leading fuel economy and legendary Cat engines (462 hp for the 595R and 590R Combines), you can t go wrong with a 500 Series combines are the most advanced in the industry. All rotary separation models feature a unique Claas APS HYbRId System and RotoPlus dual Rotor Separation for thorough and gentle threshing with separation in even the toughest high level of productivity and ease of operation result from the combination of advanced technology and precise engineering. Make adjustments on-the-go from inside the comfortable cab. And harvest on your schedule, not the weather s, with the exclusive Mobil-Trac System (MTS) undercarriage with Minute Counts At HarvestThat s why a LEXION 500 Series combine makes sense.

2 Every function is designed to save time and effort. For starters, the LEXION 590R can harvest 80 bushels of corn in about a minute. That s 4,800 bushels an hour. If you re a wheat grower, cut 30 bushels in about a minute or 1,800 bushels an hour. Unloading is just as fast and efficient, thanks to a 28 ft. ( m) unloading auger, the longest in the industry. Unload bushels of grain a second, or even bushels standard on select models. The 590R and 595R boast the largest, foldable grain tank in the industry with a holding capacity of 360 LEXION 500 Series combines have been honored with multiple AE50 awards from the American Society of Agricultural and biological Engineers (ASAbE). The combines were recognized for the use of advanced technology to harvest multiple crops with a variety of LEXION header types and sizes to increase productivity by as much as 25 percent over previous methods. 500 Series Combines Corn Heads MaxFlex Heads Chopping Corn Heads Corn Head AUTO PILOT Straw Walker Technology Claas APS HYbRId System QUANTIMETER Optical Multifinger Separation Mobil-Trac System Sensing System System (MSS)12 Feature for Feature, Nothing Can Match a LEXION CombineFeatureBenefitFeederhouse2 Lift Cylinders Highest lift capacity in the industry(page 5-6)Variable Speed Feederhouse Drive (optional) Allows you to adjust feederhouse and header speed for varying harvest conditionsHeader Pitch Feederhouse (optional) Gives you the ability to quickly set your header attachment to the exact right angle without toolsHeavy Duty To assist with the power demand of chopping cornheadsAPS Threshing System (pages 7-8)APS Cylinder (Accelerated Pre-Separation)

7 The wide opening and shallow angle provides a smooth crop mat, in preparation for the APS system. The feederhouse length gives you greater visibility of the crop and the pass is all it takes to know that LEXION combines are powerful performers in the field. The strength of the cutting and feeding systems comes from components that set the LEXION combine apart from the ConnectorMake seven connections in one step. Four hydraulic and three electrical connections are made quickly with no chance of errors or oil ReverserThe two-stage engagement of the hydraulic reverser ensures higher reverse torque to clear blockages that may occur in the header or Accelerated Pre-Separation System (APS) Assures Grain Quality Threshing SystemThe LEXION combine s threshing system gently works more crop at one time. The result is a higher quality harvest in less time. This exclusive threshing system is made up of three cylinders: the Accelerated Pre-Separation Cylinder, Main Threshing Cylinder and impeller features a chevron design to divide and feed the threshed crop into the dual rotary separation system.

8 Straight bars on the drum are used on straw walker models to ensure an even crop Pre-Separation (APS) Cylinder LEXION Exclusive Up to 30 percent of the grain is separated at the APS Cylinder and is sent on to the cleaning system. The remaining crop is fed to the main threshing cylinder at a constant speed, angle, width and thickness. As a result, threshing is faster, more efficient and produces higher quality CylinderThe 24 inch diameter main threshing cylinder features 8 hardened rasp bars for extended Point Concave Adjustment Rotary models adjustment is made simple by a single maintenance adjustment point. A tie rod underneath the concaves links both sides to ensure a constant Threshing Segmentdepending on crop conditions, you may choose to install the intensive threshing segment to maximize threshing Overload ProtectionThe threshing concaves will automatically open if an obstruction is brought in from the feederhouse. When the object has been cleared, the concaves automatically return to their preset PlateWhen harvesting a tough crop it may be necessary to maximize threshing using filler plates.

9 To do so, simply engage the disawning plates using a single lever to cover the concave below the APS APS Concave Options:1. 18 mm ( in) x 40 mm ( in) Standard for corn N7/18 mm ( in) x 40 mm ( in)Standard for small grain Round Bar concave Optional for corn and specialty crops4. Spike-tooth rice Standard on rice modelsAPS ConcavesFour main APS concave options are available depending on the crop. Changing the concave grates to match the crop size takes only minutes to perform. Unbolt the brackets holding the three grates securely in place and lift up on each grate. The grates slide out of their frame to allow an alternate sized grate to be installed. Grates are easy to access through the large rock 19 mm ( in) x 40 mm ( in)Standard for corn Grains mm ( in) x 40 mm ( in) smoothStandard for small grain Grains, aggressive mm ( in) x 40 mm ( in) with keystock Optional through Claas Parts.

10 The standard variable cylinder speed range is 395-1,150 rpm on small grain version combines. An optional two-speed system is available and offers an additional speed range that can go as slow as 166-483 rpm to maximize torque and help protect grain SPEED(395-1150)LOW SPEED(166-483)Two-Speed Cylinder Drive11508 Dual Function RotorsOn fragile crops you can set the rotary separation system to provide additional threshing as well as separation. This dual function allows the main threshing cylinder to operate at slower speeds for higher grain Counter Rotating RotorsGenerate more centrifugal (separation) force than combines with large single rotor systems. The larger the rotor diameter, the less centrifugal force achieved per horsepower. The greater centrifugal force translates into greater separation threshed crop evenly and feeds it into the dual rotary separation systemDual " Paddle rotors have 4,560 in. of separation areaAPS CylinderThreshing CylinderGrate Area = 8'APSThe Rotary Separation System RotoPlus Uses Gentle, Continuous Centrifugal Force for Final SeparationRotary Separation SystemThe RotoPlus Separation System for rotary combine models features two (445 mm) diameter paddle rotors that generate industry-leading separation Rotor Speed AdjustmentYou can change rotor speeds independently of the threshing system.
