Most wheat silage harvested by a self-propelled forage harvester in 12 hours (team)

The Most wheat silage harvested by a self-propelled forage harvester in 12 h (team) is 4515,11 us ton (4096,04 metric tons) and was achieved by CLAAS of America (Germany) in Dalhart, Texas, USA on 02 June 2025.

The attempt involves a self-propelled forage harvester as a machine designed to enhance the silage harvesting process, demonstrating its capacity and endurance through an official 12-hour challenge. This event is taking place on a local farmer's land, where multiple fields are cultivated, and farmers have been invited to observe the machine's operation in real-time. The primary goal is to register this achievement and publicize it during an official launch of the machine in Germany scheduled for November.

CLAAS, a leader in the agricultural farm technology sector, is dedicated to innovation and efficiency in farming. Their mission emphasizes providing advanced technological solutions to improve productivity and sustainability. This record attempt not only showcases the machine's unique ability to operate continuously for extended periods but also highlights CLAAS's commitment to innovation and excellence in agriculture. Moreover, the event aims to educate farmers on the machine's advanced capabilities, such as GPS yield mapping and real-time validation of harvested silage, which underscores the importance of technology in modern farming practices.
