New CAT Lexion combine

The CAT company has just increased its product line by introducing the Lexion 475.

The Lexion 475 is powered by the new 8.8 L Caterpillar C9 diesel engine. The engine is turbocharged and air-to-air aftercooled and rated 330 hp at 2100 rpm in this application. The C9 is Caterpillar's first application of its HEUI-B common rail fuel system and marks the debut of the new ADEM III electronic control package. The servo shift system is especially good for smoothing shifts made on grades or in rolling terrain and the system also reduces stress on the transmission itself with the smoother shifts. Along with Cat's Accelerated pre-sepparation rotary threshing system Caterpillar now builds one of the largest combines on the market today.
