Combines 8010 in rice

Neither is the best combine for rice. I would say that the lexion is the only combine that can and does excel in rice harvest. JD learned this with their CTS machine which is very similar to a lexion. For pretty much any other crop, I'll take the 8010 over the 9860 anyday, but for a big combine in a variety of crops, you won't beat the lexion.

You should state that the lexion is like the CTS, Claas copied that concept from Deere. There is a rice package for the STS that significantly improves throughput and capacity especially in CA rice.
