The need for energy rationalizing in farming operations require research that optimize grain crop conduction. The operations used in the processing and production of silage have limitations in energy optimization due to the lack of studies. This paper evaluated energy efficiency of whole-plant silage operations with the objective of favor the decision making. The adopted design of the experiment was in parcels (with seven replications), consisting of three harvesting modalities: single-line forage harvester, total area forage harvester, and total area forage harvester with support transshipment. The tractors were instrumented with sensors that measured engine rotation, travel speed, and hourly fuel consumption which were used to calculate field capacity, fuel consumption per area and per harvested mass, and production capacity of the harvester-tractor set. The results went to analysis of variance and subsequently to Tukey's test. The single had a faster speed and lower hourly fuel consumption, but smaller field capacity and greater energy expenditure for the mass. The use of support transshipment set with the front harvester allowed an improvement in the operation, with an increase in the worked area, and material processing (18%), and speed (13%), without differing in fuel expenditure. The total-area forage harvester modality showed smaller costs (USD 6.7), followed by the total-area forage harvester with support transshipment set (USD 7.7) and the single-line forage harvester (USD 9.38), respectively. The use of forage harvesters with a wider working width proved to be more efficient in terms of production costs per harvested hectare, validating it's reccomendation.
