The most productive harvesting combines
08/29/2019 Over the past decades, the efficiency of agricultural machinery has increased many times. Powerful modern combines have a cutting tool width of up to 12 meters and a tank for more than 12.5 tons of grain. They process up to 8 hectares per hour, which corresponds to the area of 11 football fields. Grain harvesters, in addition to collecting grain, are also used to collect corn, rapeseed and sunflower.
The relevance of purchasing combine harvesters with increased productivity is often associated with the need to process a large area in a short time. On the Autoline site, combine harvesters of any capacity from well-known local sellers and equipment manufacturers are presented. You can familiarize yourself with various brands and models of grain harvesting equipment at this link.
List of TOP 5 performance monsters among combine harvesters
1st place - New Holland CR series
The NH CR10.90 combine has the most powerful FPT Industrial Cursor 16 engine with a volume of 15,927 cm3 and a power of 480 kW/653 hp. pp., awarded the title “Diesel Engine of the Year 2014”. NH CR10.90 is the most productive machine in the CR line, has a folding grain hopper with a capacity of 14,500 liters.
The CR series is distinguished by the use of “Twin Rotor” technology, which is based on double rotors associated with DFR (Dynamic Feed Roll) control. The Italian manufacturer first used this technology 40 years ago. New Holland combines are used due to their low level of grain damage, reasonable ratio of productivity to price and quality.
NH CR10.90 is included in the Guinness Book of Records for harvesting 797.66 tons of wheat within eight hours. The average productivity of the model is up to 90 tons of wheat per hour with grain losses of up to 1%.

Claas Lexion series 700
Lexion has been produced since 1995 at the Harsewinkel plant. The German company has produced more than 50 thousand Lexion combines of the 400, 500, 600 and 700 series. Claas Lexion 780 is a large grain harvester from a German manufacturer. This is one of the most powerful combines in the world.
The model is equipped with: Mercedes-Benz OM 473 LA engine with a power of 460 kW/625 hp. With.; two rotors; grain compartment 13,500 l.
APS increases the throughput of the combine by up to 20% by accelerating the flow from 3 m/sec to 20 m/sec, and Cemos Automatic provides automatic control of the operation of the main systems of the combine.
The performance of the 700 line is less than that of the New Holland representatives. Depending on the yield and humidity, German equipment collects 40 - 50 tons/hour.
