I couldnt care less about guiness record,since it only shows which company was best at cheating/get around the rules somehow.I for myself,am interested in knowing about the details,how they got that record,so that i can put that in the right perspective and find out what its worth,and i am interested in on farm performance,since i dont go the the coffee shop at all to brag about some numbers.As i said,i was referring to the article in the profi magazine and their comments about those things,if you want to keep on complaining and talk to somebody about sour grapes,please contact them,i am sure they are interested to hear your opinion.

Since we are disecting records, the 51,137 bu harvested by the 760 in 2010 was done in 10 clock hours and only 9 seperator hours! I think the plan is for an official Guiness attempt sometime. Any requests for moisture, variety, test weight, nitrogen rate, harvest date? If I was going for a record I now what variety of corn I would plant to aid in the attempt.

Football = Soccer or Sotcher! (in a Fast Show Style.) just think you should add that Farmerdan for our friends across the Pond!

The more going out the back is less going in the hopper, but if I was going for a record, I wouldn't try to get that last 1% of hard threshing, because that isn't what I'm after. I'm after the most as fast as I can get it.

Deere is King of marketing! If they had anything to brag about, they would already be bragging.

I already know my neighbors wheat fields are greener than his combine 10 days after a post harvest rain.

Whatever they did, they obviously did it right (it has folks like you keeping the topic alive and well, daily). So, where was the cheating? Do you know something that no one else does? No one else seems to be challenging the results, not even their competition. Nor, has anyone else stepped up to the plate to try and break their unofficial corn record either.

Just seems odd that every other combine manufacturer uses the Claas 770 (or past top of the range Claas) as the bench mark in performance and that the machine all others are trying to better, the day the Lexion hit the market all other combine makers were shaking in their boots, and still are to this day, what till you see whats round the corner with Claas LOL.

hows about guiness doing it , get em all in the same field ,5 hours all colours head to head , put the appropriate men in the right seats and run them head to head ? then see who does the best ???

[mbfarmer]

I'm sure Claas would love to do that. Everybody else would likely be sick that day. The reality is the 770 is the highest capacity combine on the market. Don had all three on his farm in the same field. What more could you ask for? I would much rather have that than a record or competition done in the UK in 160 bu. wheat with knee high straw.

I thought NH held the record before this latest attempt? Seems twin rotors are always a hot topic on these forums......

Who's the actual bench mark that everyone is trying to better, the manufacturer that has used twin rotors for 37 yrs......

Hard to beat a LEXION's tri- cylinder APS threshing and twin 13 ft. long separation rotors over the competition's 9-10 ft. long single or twin rotors used for both threshing and separation.
