Claas sets new world record in harvesting

CLAAS Lexion 770TT combine harvester from Lincolnshire recently set new world record for the grain amount that it harvested in a period of eight hours. New record here is 675.84 tonnes and this is massive twenty two percent higher than previous record that was set in the year 2008. For achieving this record, Lexion 770 over period of eight hours maintained work rate average at 85.5 tonnes per hour but only 1.15 liters of the fuel per tonne was consumed.

This new record was part of one endurance test. After achieving this feat, the machine worked all through the night and it was shut down with 20 hours of continuous work behind it. In this period, it harvested 1,360 tonnes of wheat and the average throughput was maintained at 70 tonnes per hour.
