A Krone Comprima baler has beaten the existing world record for the number of round bales produced in an hour. In a 35ha wheat stubble field in East Germany the baler produced a staggering 149 bales (28 tonnes of wheat straw), equivalent to 2.5 bales per minute. The achievement was witnessed by the German agricultural magazines DLZ and agrarheute.
In an attempt to break the world record, the Comprima was set to the highest density and applied three layers of net wrap to each of the 1.25m diameter bales.
Tractor operator Ewald Vehring said: “When I first looked at the bale counter after half an hour, the count was already seven bales ahead of the existing record. This was when I knew that we were going to set a new world record.”
