NEW HOLLAND RE-CLAIM WORLD RECORD2012|2011
A New Holland CR9090 flagship combine was used to reclaim the Guinness World Record on 26th September in Northumberland with an impressive 551.6 tonnes of wheat harvested in eight hours. Mountfair Farming Ltd, supported by New Holland, harvested 53.5 hectares, achieving an average rate of 68.95 tonnes per hour in Robigus winter wheat. Consuming just 13.3 litres of fuel per hectare, the record highlights the efficiency ofthe CR9090 combine in a challenge that reflects true farming conditions.The record-breaking run, which took place at Castle Heaton Estates from 12.50pm to 8.50pm in the evening, improves on the previous record of 532.1 tonnes set on 17th September in Lincolnshire.
During the first three hours of the record attempt the CR9090 was averaging 77.3 tonnes/hour, but this average fell back when more undulating fields with shorter work runs were encountered.
