I loved the row sensors. They really could do a better job in down corn. And I could get out and check my grain loss while the combine drove itself. This was 36 years ago.

Good video, thanks! The amount of electronics in the combines today is unreal! Look forward to seeing one in the field.

Very, very impressive. The product knowledge of the CLAAS Rep was outstanding.

Great job explaining key improvements - keep the videos coming

Saw a CLAAS out in a corn field today. CLAAS on one side of the highway harvesting corn and John Deere harvesting rice on the other side. Amazing how fast they clear these fields and get the second crop planted.

We use a Lexion 770 with a 40 ft header, she's a beast. But this looks a good machine. An enjoyable half an hour.

Awesome Video! Nice to see some much needed improvements. The operator interface in the cab looks like a much easier system to operate over the generation older models. Also, I appreciate the ladder to access the grain tank, the older machines were almost impossible to get in over the top, always had to remove the access panel to the right of the cab and crawl through the hole. Great job Claas, I'm looking forward to seeing this machine in action some day with the improved capacity!

Having interviews with good representatives like Jeff Help me learn a lot about these machines so I have a better idea of what I’m filming in the field

Amazing how far they have come wished I could see the next 50 years

Being an old farm equipment mechanic from 1980 to 1990 and working for a Ford, Heston, New Holland, Bombardier, Honda Power and other minor equipment dealership. If you scrape the paint on pre 1985 ford combines it is light green under. I attended a service school in Columbus Indiana and seen the cat track system prototype, I think on a CS116 combine with computer controlled dual hydro stat and a v12 Mercedes diesel. Side doors all bent up, I guess engineers forgot when taking off corn where could a lot of mud involved, go figure! Then the very late 80's into the 90's there was a lot of manufactures being bought out or were in joint ventures. But New Holland and Claas are still my favourites, I also did a lot of work on the NH TR combines.

Wow! This salesman is very knowledgeable about this machine. The Claas combines are very advanced! Thanks BigtractorPower!

What will happen once the machine gets a bit older, like 10 - 15 years and GPS dies for example ? Most manufacturers wont maintain machines like that for that long. Famous case is John Deere with their starfire system. And the new one cost pure fortune. I mean, is it possible to maintain vehicle like this one even after system like all of the touchscreens etc die after some years ? Can you keep it running without all of that technology ?

Wiring harnesses will go out before the monitor will, and these are easily replaced (at least on CASE IH they are easily replaced) as well as relatively inexpensive considering the job they do. Without working wiring harnesses this machine appears to not have any manual adjustment, so it would not be able to change crops without a new harness. On every machine these harnesses are a major crutch especially with the additional sensors and cameras that have been added.
