I assume you are referring to the Claas LEXION Tractor (often abbreviated or typo'd as LMT), specifically the high-horsepower models like the LEXION 8000/7000 series. While "LMT" isn't a standard Claas model designation, the features below apply to their flagship tractor lineup.
If you are referring to the CLAAS LMK (fertilizer spreader) or LMM (mower), please let me know, but I have focused on the tractor technology here.
Here are the most helpful features of the Claas LEXION series tractors, specifically focusing on operator comfort and efficiency:
If you need dealer support and new features, skip the LMT and look at: claas lmt
But if you want a robust, simple, and unique machine with historical charm — the LMT is a hidden gem.

The Claas LMT (Load Measuring Terminal) is an advanced electronic weighing and performance monitoring system designed specifically for Claas forage harvesters and combine harvesters. Primarily utilized in the Claas JAGUAR series forage harvesters, the LMT serves as a critical tool for precision farming. It allows operators to measure crop yield and mass flow in real-time, eliminating the need for external weighbridges and enabling immediate data analysis for optimized harvest logistics and documentation.
The CMATIC drive system is designed to be intuitive rather than complex.
Walk around the wagon. If you see rust bubbling from the bottom seams of the side walls, walk away. Silage effluent (acidic liquid) eats standard steel for breakfast. LMTs had galvanized options, but many didn't. I assume you are referring to the Claas
1. Unmatched Travel Speed & Comfort Unlike a standard telehandler that crawls at 25-40 km/h, the LMT hits 50-60 km/h (depending on tires/gearing). With a suspended front axle and large cab, it drives like a tractor. For contractors moving between farms or loading in the morning and mowing in the afternoon, this saves hours.
2. True Tractor Capabilities
3. Excellent Visibility & Reach The cab sits high, offering a panoramic view down to the front tires. The telescopic boom reaches up to 5.8 meters (LMT 4.5), allowing you to stack bales three high or fill high mixers. Terminal Unit: The visual interface inside the cab
4. Maneuverable for its Size Despite a heavy rear end (necessary for ballast), the articulated steering frame gives a tight turning circle – better than a rigid-frame telehandler.
