Brazil shatters soybean harvest record with revolutionary Nexat system
A new world record in soybean harvesting has been set in Brazil. The Nexat system, a cutting-edge tractor setup, achieved the feat by collecting 637.76 tons in just eight hours.
The operation took place on a 158.16-hectare field in Bahia, where the soybeans had a moisture content of 14%. The previous record was beaten by 32%, with over 150 extra tons harvested in the same timeframe. The record-breaking system consisted of three key components: the NEXAT carrier vehicle, the NEXCO threshing module, and the MacDon FD250 FlexDraper header. Together, they maintained an average output of 79.72 tons per hour. Fuel efficiency was also notable, with the machine consuming just 7.5 litres of diesel per hectare.
The design of the Nexat system sets it apart. Its transverse rotor threshing concept and dual straw choppers improve performance, while the modular build ensures easy access for maintenance. This combination of speed, efficiency, and practicality helped secure the new benchmark in soybean harvesting. The Nexat system's achievement marks a significant leap in agricultural productivity. By harvesting 637.76 tons in eight hours, it has demonstrated both speed and fuel efficiency. The technology's modular and innovative design could influence future farming equipment development.
