catkom3 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 I was just looking at the photo's I took of my 8900TT, And reckoned Claas won't sell any of their 8900's with the 13,8 mtr headers, Not with that 7XL auger it is way to long, and I suspect to expensive, Unless Claas have an 18.8 ( 60ft ) mtr header on their options list, plus maybe the new 925HP MAN engine they already have in the 990 Jaguar chopper, we might just see a Lexion 9900TT later this year, Anyone thinking the same,?? Regards Joe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FendtFarmer Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 The longer auger is to suit controlled traffic farming (ctf) basically every tractor and machine that goes in that field stays in the same wheelings, so with that in mind the auger need to be long enough to reach over to the next set of wheelings and the chaser bin/trailer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catkom3 Posted March 24, 2021 Author Share Posted March 24, 2021 Just seen this from a guy in Brazil, AGCO Fendt 9T with a 62ft header, Auger looks awfully similar to the 7XL on the Lexion,?? Regards Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Joe. That is a big header, I doubt they would be able to get a long enough auger to run CTF with that. Richard Western created an alternative to longer augers, adding an extention to the chaser. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Late reply but this Ideal 10T owned by Belvoir farm has a huge auger presumably for CTF system, I think it’s the same size as on the 8900 model?
