The recent launch of what New Holland claims to be the biggest combine in the world has prompted plenty of debate about how it stacks up against the previous title holder – the Claas Lexion 600.
Users of our FWiSpace discussion forums have been thrashing out the pros and cons of each. Some argue that the NH CR9090 has the edge when it comes to power while others point out that a combine is only as good as its operator.
