The first model of the popular Lexion series was the 480, in which the concaves were replaced by two transverse separating rotors. In 1997, the concave combines 440-460 were introduced alongside it, which also had an APS accelerator drum in front of the threshing cylinder. The functions were controlled and monitored using the CEBIS display, which also allowed threshing settings to be saved. In addition to standard cutting tables, foldable tables or new Vario tables were available, whose length could be adjusted to be 10 cm shorter or 20 cm longer than normal (with cover plates, even up to 50 cm longer). As an optional accessory, the Laser Pilot was available, which guided the combine along the edge of the swath. Some models were also available in the Terra Trac tracked version. The Caterpillar-engined Evolution models introduced for the 2002 season can be distinguished by the model designation decal, similar to the one shown in the picture. The most popular combine harvester in Europe in the early 2000s was the Lexion 480.
