said Eric Raby, Claas of America President and General Manager – Sales.

Entries for the AE50 awards are submitted from around the world and reviewed by a panel of international engineering experts to determine the top 50 products that represent the diversity of agricultural and biological engineering.

The LEXION 6000 Series straw walker combine, introduced in June 2020, offers an engineered mix of efficiency, precision, and convenience that excels in crops like wheat, canola, and grass seed — all in a reliable and easily maintained package. It is designed to save time and make the job easier for farmers who want efficient separation without over-threshing grain or damaging straw.

Enhanced efficiency for more throughput

The new LEXION 6900 and 6800 provide up to 25 percent more throughput than the prior straw walker series. The APS SYNFLOW WALKER threshing and separation system has the straightest crop flow in the industry and is the only combine on the market with an accelerator drum for constant crop acceleration, efficient grain separation, and gentle straw handling without having to make any sacrifices.

Heightened precision through advanced technology

The combine is equipped with more in-cab controls and on-the-fly adjustment capabilities, along with the highest-quality machine performance feedback for ensured success. At the peak of precision is the CEMOS AUTOMATIC combine automation system, which makes autonomous and automatic real-time, in-field adjustments with more precision and speed than a seasoned operator.

Optimal convenience for minimal downtime

With the industry’s fastest transport speed at 25 mph (40 kph), the new LEXION combine not only gets operators through the field faster but also gets them to the next field faster. New in-cab conversion capabilities make it simpler and faster to switch between crops when needed — reducing crop conversion time by more than 50 percent.

Lightweight & Sturdy

Walker mowers are equipped with a number of impressive features to deliver an exceptional mowing experience. The compact, lightweight design of each model makes it easy to weave around tight spots on your property. Unlike heavy machines that can damage your lawn, these models are gentle on the grass, which helps you to keep your yard looking healthy and beautiful with each cut.

Comfort

Taking care of your lawn is a tedious task and involves loads of time and effort. The last thing you need is a mower with an uncomfortable seat and controls that are hard to reach. Walker mowers are equipped with an ergonomic seat that takes into consideration the best way to position your body to alleviate unnecessary pressure and strain. Fingertip steering and cruise control combine to create an enjoyable and comfortable riding experience. You’ll glide across the grass, not noticing bumps even at faster speeds.

Precision Cut

Everything about the design of Walker mowers is geared towards delivering an impressive quality cut. The torsion-flex carrier frame facilitates a flexible deck that cuts with precision on uneven surfaces. If you want a fantastic-looking lawn, you’ll simply love the front-mount deck that reduces the impact on turf before it gets cut. This is better for your lawn and leaves a more consistent looking cut behind.

Your Options

Small yards that are half an acre or less in size can often be easily maintained with a walk-behind mower. On the other hand, larger properties that are more than one acre may need something with more power and durability, like a zero-turn lawnmower. It’s easy to find the right Walker mower because there are so many choices available to you. Pick from the collection, side discharge, rear discharge, or mulching decks. You’ll have no problem finding the ideal deck for the cutting width, material capacity, or grass type you need.

Attachments and Implements

Walker lawnmowers can handle more than just trimming the grass. These machines are compatible with the full line of attachments, making them an incredibly versatile option for all your yard maintenance tasks. By opting for an attachment, you may even be able to avoid buying a second piece of equipment.

For example, a snowblower attachment allows you to clear your driveway during winter. Add a dozer blade for grading, or connect a trailer to haul tools and materials around your property. You’ll be able to switch from grass trimming to other tasks without breaking a sweat. You can also boost your mower with upgrades, like high-performance tires, headlights, or even armrests and a cup holder to make your lawn care even more enjoyable!
