LONDON, April 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- New Holland
Agriculture, a brand of CNH Industrial (NYSE: CNHI /MI: CNHI), has
set a new world record in soybean harvesting in the Bahia State of
Brazil. The feat involved harvesting a massive 439.73 tons of
soybean in eight hours with the brand's CR8.90 combine harvester.
It was certified by independent adjudicator RankBrasil.
The CR8.90 delivered this outstanding performance in
exceptionally high yield crop: 4,886 kilograms per hectare, far
above the average of 3,600 kilograms in Brazil. The model follows in the footsteps of
the CR10.90, which has held the world record title in wheat since
2014. The records set by both combine models demonstrate the
exceptional capacity and productivity of the CR Series
combines.
The record was set on April 5,
2017 at the Villa Panambi farm with the support of local
dealer Jaraguá Bahia. Moisture was high on the day due to 20
millimeters of rain at 5:00 a.m., and
temperatures ranged from 25 to 28 degrees Celsius. Harvesting
started at 10:30 am and finished at
6:30 pm, resulting in approximately
90 hectares of harvested land. The CR8.90's average harvesting
throughout was 54.97 tons per hour for a crop yielding average of
4.88 tons per hectare and an average moisture content of 17%.
CR combines are able to achieve outstanding performance thanks
to New Holland's signature Twin Rotor™ technology, their powerful
and efficient FPT Industrial engines and New Holland's harvesting
technologies such as IntelliSteer® auto guidance, which enables
operators to harvest around the clock.
New Holland announces this important achievement ahead of
Agrishow, the largest and most comprehensive agricultural
technology trade show in Latin
America, which takes place annually in Ribeirão Preto, a
municipality located in the northeastern region of the state of São
Paulo, Brazil.
