Meet the CLAAS 8700—a five-million-yuan combine harvester that outperforms three Rolls-Royce Cullinans in price and puts two hundred human workers out of a job in a single day. German farmer's daughter Julia takes us through a one-thousand-acre wheat harvest, revealing exactly why this steel beast commands such an extraordinary price tag. With a 626-horsepower Mercedes-Benz diesel engine, a 12.5-meter cutting header spanning two basketball courts, and a 13,500-liter grain tank, this machine is engineered for one purpose only: beating the rain. Wheat farmers worldwide know the brutal reality—only seven days separate a perfect harvest from total crop loss. The CLAAS 8700's revolutionary EPS Hybrid threshing system processes 100 tons of wheat per hour, making it the most time-efficient harvesting machine ever built. When millions of dollars of crops hang in the balance, this is the machine that saves the harvest. Watch and discover why German agricultural technology leads the world.

00:00What you're seeing now is Julia, a German farm owner's daughter, operating the CLA AS 8700 in
00:04action. Her target today is this 1,000 acre wheat field. But today's main character isn't Julia,
00:10it's the steel beast underneath her, a 5 million yuan machine, one unit worth 3 Rolls-Royce
00:14Cullinans. Why is it so expensive? Watch this video and you'll understand. Every farmer knows,
00:20after wheat matures, there are only 7 optimal harvesting days. Once rainfall hits, wheat ears
00:25absorb moisture and sprout, entire field crops are completely destroyed. 1,000 acres of grain
00:30fields directly lose 800,000 yuan. Harvesting operations are essentially a race against the
00:35clock, competing with weather for harvests. And the CLA AS 8700 is the core weapon for seizing that
00:40agricultural window. This CLA AS 8700's only purpose for existing is racing against time,
00:46getting 1,000 acres of wheat safely stored before rain arrives. The complete machine weighs 19 tons,
00:51equipped with a Mercedes-Benz original factory 626 horsepower diesel engine.
00:55However far exceeds Lamborghini sports cars, even muddy fields can be traversed smoothly.
01:00The 12.5-meter-wide cutting header covers a single-pass harvesting range comparable to
01:04two basketball courts. The 13,500-liter large-capacity grain tank can store an entire truckload of
01:09wheat in one go. But none of these are its true killer feature. What truly makes it legendary is
01:14this system called EPS Hybrid, the threshing system. It can process 100 tons of wheat per hour.
01:20Work efficiency equals 200 farmers bending their backs working an entire day.
01:23One machine replacing 200 people. This is exactly why Germany's 300 million people can feed the entire
01:29world.
