A FLEET of nine Lexion harvesters made short work of the wheat harvest on a large-scale cropping operation at Rowena in northern NSW last week.
Equipped with 13.5 metre variable cutter bars, or 12 metre draper fronts, the nine machines cut a 110 metre wide swathe through the crop at an average speed of 10 km/h.
The fleet harvested almost 4000 tonnes of wheat across 1300 hectares in a 12 hour period.

A fleet of four tractors and chaser bins shuttled grain to two mother bins, which in turn, filled a fleet of semi-trailers on a run to and from Moree.
Six of the harvesters belonged to contractor, Peter Radford of Radford Harvesting, which harvests more than 40,000 hectares of cereals, sorghum, rice, corn, poppies and pyrethrum in Queensland, NSW, Victoria and Tasmania each year.
