The Lexion 530 is the first model of the 500 series to enlarge the grain tank markedly: 86 hl against 78 hl in the 520. The empty weight of 13,500 kg is well above the 520's 11,800 kg, the cutting width stays at 540 cm, and five straw walkers still do the work.
The markets differ on the engine. For Europe the Koneviesti database lists a Caterpillar C6.6 with 286 hp, 295 hp at rated speed. The register lists the 530 with a C9 of 8,801.5 cm³, and Ritchie Specs gives the C9 with 308.5 hp for the US version. Common to both entries is the fuel tank of 600.4 l, or 600 l.
With a rated speed of 2,100 rpm and six cylinders the 530 is one of the models also built as the Montana hillside version.
Claas combines Lexion, Tucano, Mega and Medion – from Harsewinkel: the numbers of the Lexion 510 to 570, Montana for slopes, Terra Trac on tracks, Mercedes and Cat engines
Claas of Harsewinkel in Westphalia is Europe's largest combine maker – since the first combine-binder of 1936 and the self-propelled Hercules of 1953 – and the Lexion has been the flagship since 1995: a hybrid combine that pairs the conventional threshing drum with rotors for residual grain separation. The register shows the programme of the 2000s: the Lexion 510 to 570 with straw-walker separation (the 500 series of model years 2004 to 2010), the suffix Montana for the hillside version with levelling up to 17 percent slope, Terra Trac for the track undercarriage that Claas offered as the first maker in series from 1997, C for the version with Caterpillar engine, and the Plus for the power step. Tucano 320 to 450 is the mid-range from 2007, Mega 350 to 370 the previous generation of the 1990s, Medion 310 the entry model.

The register lists 23 versions with six-cylinders of 6,401 to 12,500 cm³ – Mercedes-Benz OM 906 LA and OM 926 LA in the Tucano and small Lexion, Caterpillar C 9 and C 13 in the big Lexion, C 6.6 in the Mega – at rated speeds of 1,900 to 2,200 rpm; the recorded output of the Lexion 570 is 180 kW.
The Lexion 500 numbers order size by walker count and drum width: 510 and 520 with five walkers and a narrow drum, 540 to 570 with six walkers and a 1.70 m drum; around 2005 the Lexion 570 was the most powerful straw-walker combine in the world.
On used combines, drum hours separate from engine hours, the condition of threshing drum, concave, walkers and sieves, wear of elevators and header, leak-free hydraulics and the cab electronics, whose repairs on older Lexions are expensive, are what count.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
