LEXION® 465^Non-Current

Headers

The heads and headers available for Lexion combines offer many features that compliment the performance of the combine.

Feederhouse

The feederhouse is the longest in the industry and offers additional features.

Header and Feederhouse Reverser

The header and feederhouse can be reversed to clear blockages. For safety, the reverser motor can only be engaged when the threshing system is turned off.

Threshing

The exclusive APS system increases capacity. Normally, to get fast harvest speeds you have to either give up grain quality or accept higher losses - not with LEXION combines.

Separation Systems

Caterpillar combines raise the standard for straw walker performance, letting you harvest at higher speeds without increasing losses. The Lexion 460 and 465 feature six high-performance straw walkers to enhance the effect of increased agitation.

Two-Piece Preparation Pan

The preparation pan is in two halves; each section is removable from the front.

Twin Ventilated Sieves

The upper ventilated step provides an intensive pre-cleaning process. Light material is suspended in the wind stream, carried over the sieves and discharged out of the machine.

Turbine Fans

Each of the six turbine fans have their own air inlet. This prevents air starvation to the fans and provides a consistent blast of air to the sieves.

Wind Reduction Kit

Shutter plates are available, which reduce the air intake area of the turbine fans when harvesting light crops. These shutter plates are adjustable to restrict the air flow to suit crop conditions.

Counter Movement of Sieves

Upper and lower sieves operate in opposite directions resulting in smoother running and less wear and improved self-cleaning of sieves.

Sieve Adjustment

Top and bottom sieve openings can be controlled from the cab at the press of a button or the combine can make its own sieve setting based on the type of crop to be harvested.

3-D Sieve System

When working across slopes, the crop slides downhill on the sieves and the air flow takes the line of least resistance. Chaff and straw are no longer held in suspension and a mat of material begins to build up on the sieves, resulting in severe grain loss. Solution: The Cat 3-D slope compensation system.

3-D Cleaning

Working on level ground, the normal action of the 3-D sieve is to move backward and forward sorting grain from chaff.

Performance Monitoring

Monitoring output gives the operator the final check on grain loss from the sieves, rotors and walkers.

Returns Monitoring

Returns are distributed in front and across the full width of the accelerator and then undergo the full threshing and separation process again. It is easy to visually check the returns while harvesting.

Grain Elevator

The grain elevator is designed to move large volumes of grain to the tank. The elevator chain tension is adjusted by a conveniently positioned draw bolt.

Grain Tank

Large capacity. The operator is informed of the quantity of grain in the tank by both visual and audible warnings.

Clean Grain Auger

The grain tank filling auger floats on the rising crop and fills evenly from the middle of the tank.

Grain Tank Unloading

Grain tank unloading is operated by a switch on the multi-function control lever.

Checking Grain Quality

Caterpillar combines give you the best grain handling and quality monitoring systems available.

Automated Crop Settings

Flotation

Caterpillar's Mobil-trac system results in lower ground pressure, less rutting and the ability to work in wet conditions.

Traction

The ability to work in wet conditions with less slippage (lower fuel consumption, less wear) can mean a timely harvest despite wet weather.

Lower Compaction

Lower compaction results in reduced front axle loads and a smoother ride over the fields resulting in greater operator comfort.

Mobile Service Fleet

With more than 70 years of experience in providing the best possible support for customers, Caterpillar has built the most extensive mobile service fleet in the country.

Parts Availability

The parts distribution network works 24 hours a day to make sure that when you need a part, you'll get it - fast.
