The world record-some additional facts

[jaydee]

First of all,i dont want to throw any dirt at Claas since i am convinced that the 770 is the combine with the highest capacity out there without any doubts,but there is some things that should get mentioned regarding that world record marketing scenario,and i am refering to an article released by the german ag machinery magazine profi:

Settings of the combine:
Concave clearance 36mm,later at night 32
Threshing drum speed 840 rpm at the beginning,then down to 750rpm and later at night up again to 820
Rotor speed 1200rpm,then down to 900rpm and late at night up to 1100 again
They also closed the rotor covers,first one then both per rotor once it got dryer,then opned them up again late at night.

-the yield was 10.52t/ha
-moisture was 14.5-18% (18% was late in the night after the record has been set)
-100l weight(hektoliter) was 75-80kg(means very heavy wheat)
-total height of the wheat plants was 41-54cm(very short crop)
-cutting height 20cm(they barely put straw through the machine)
Now comes the real interesting part:
-Claas claimes a grain to straw ratio of 1:1,which is more than questionable at that cutting height,the height of the plants and that hektoliter weight...
-Claas claims losses of 0.31 to 0.52,but they never threw a loss pan at all,the counted the kernels between the rows(12.5cm spacing) over 20cm three times per field(four fields with 130ha in 20 hrs) at five spots,then calculated the weight assuming a thousand kernel weight of only 50g...

What do you guys think about that

Sounds like somebody has been doing a little aggie math

Sounds like a legit world record to me. If its in the world record book it's for real... Nothing else to say but congrads to claas for being the new world record holder, doesn't really matter how they got there, just that they got there and did it successfully.

thats a big red flag. i'm sure some people are still gonna say its legit. it should have to be redone with losses recorded, unless their too afraid too.

i dont think the farmer would allow too much throw over would you he wasnt getting paid to be on his farm alsp what diff dose cuttinh height make there is many combines that can just processes heads they mostly need straw also and what you forgot to say is the wheat is soild stemed not hollow like in canada all i say bring it on jd if you think you can do better also world record book people still watch losses in the same way wether jd class or cnh

well done too all that helped set the record

Obviously you didnt understand the beginning of my post,which might also explain why you dont understand what difference the cutting height makes.
I have no intention to start a color war,just providing additional infos and everybody who CAN understand what difference cutting height makes for example,can think about it and come to his/her own conclusion.

i can read thank you why keep digging this up the record was set in the right way so give it up
i think your trying to start somthing thats not there all i say take a jd and match it or a nh or massey

as other guys say well done you seem to be stiring a endless pot of nothing
