To those who have been quick to write off the TRION as a bare-bones LEXION-wannabe, Greg Frenzel, Combine Product Manager for CLAAS, has three words of advice: “Not so fast!” For many mid-sized farmers – especially those growing corn and soybeans – the TRION 740 offers many advantages over similarly sized alternatives such as the John Deere S770 and Case IH 7160. 

“While the TRION 740 doesn’t have quite the capacity of our class-7 LEXION 7500, it can still out-perform our competitors in the same class size with more capacity, greater efficiency and the type of advanced features you would only expect to find in a larger, wide-body machine,” explained Frenzel. Feature for feature, the TRION 740 not only stacks up better than the competition, it does so for fewer stacks of cash:

“Base” not “Basic”

The TRION 740 is ideally suited for the family farm with 1,000-3,000 acres. Even in its base configuration, the latest model in the CLAAS combine family offers many advanced features normally reserved for combines with much higher capacities. 

• Power folding grain tank covers: Standard. 
• Premium cab appointments: Standard. 
• CEMOS AUTO CROP FLOW: Standard. 
• QUANTIMETER: Standard.
• GRAINMETER: Standard. 
• 5 Years Machine Connect: Standard.

Get More for Less. Get Even More for the Same!

Before adding a single dollar to the base price, the TRION 740 delivers many of the items on most farmers’ wish lists. But it doesn’t stop there. There are many options available on the TRION 740 that can make it even more appealing. With a listed base price that is more than $117,000 less than the John Deere S770 and more than $126,000 less than a Case IH 7160, there’s a lot you can add to make the TRION 740 all that you want and then some including:

• Duals – Add traction and stability to your CLAAS machine and still be well under the cost of competitive models on singles.
• 8-30 Corn Head – Add a brand-new corn head to your combine for under $100,000 listed retail – still less that either competitive model without a head. 
• CEMOS AUTOMATIC – The same advanced system that automatically adjusts settings, maximizes fuel efficiency, and improves grain retention on LEXION combines can be added to the TRION 740 for less than $30,000. 
• TERRA TRAC – Make the upgrade to the exclusive TRION 740 TERRA TRAC for less than the listed base price of the wheeled CASE IH 7160.
