Fendt IDEAL sets a Brazilian record
Whilst the small grain harvest in Europe is largely complete and the corn harvest is still some way off in many places, a potential record has already been set on another continent!
Brazil is one of the largest countries in the world in terms of area and, with nearly eight percent of its land devoted to agriculture, has established itself as a major grain producer. Corn is grown year-round in Brazil through two production cycles. The first crop (summer corn) is typically planted between September and December, while the second crop, known as safrinha corn, is planted after the soybean harvest and has become the country's main corn-producing season.
So let's get back to the Brazilian record: Using the Fendt IDEAL 9T combine, an impressive 2,599 tonnes of corn were harvested within 24 hours this month at Fazenda Recanto in Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. This simultaneously set new local records for 8 hours (912.7 tonnes), 12 hours (1,247.7 tonnes) and 24 hours, which were officially certified by RankBrasil.
The facts:
✅ 235.2 ha in 24 hours
✅ Average grain throughput of 108 t/h
✅ Minimal grain losses
✅ Maximum efficiency: 9.17 litres/ha or 0.83 litres/to
Further proof of the performance, efficiency and reliability of the Fendt IDEAL under the most demanding conditions.
