MAKING BETTER USE OF VARYING SOIL CHARACTERISTICS

Higher profits.
Increasing yield with the same input or maintaining yield with reduced input; this is what can be done with Precision Farming. The DGPS based system on New Holland CX and CR combines allows you to permanently register your yield and store it, linked to the precise location. That information - in combination with other DGPS collected data like crop moisture content and soil variations - is then used to prepare application maps for accurate, site specific fertilising, seeding and spraying, thus increasing your profits. Precision Farming also helps reduce labour costs and fuel consumption.
Exclusive yield measuring system
Accurate, crop independent yield measuring is the most critical aspect of data gathering for Precision Farming. The exclusive patented high accuracy yield sensor developed by New Holland requires no calibration between different crops. The sensor plate between grain elevator and grain tank filling auger, is fitted to a pivoting device with a counterweight. This neutralises the rubbing effect of the grain and provides precise mass measuring whatever the kernel size or shape, the grain density and the moisture or impurity content. The operator of a New Holland combine can concentrate on harvesting rather than on setting up and calibrating.
An integrated package
To maximise customer profitability, New Holland offers a Precision Farming package that is integrated into the combines’ control systems. The monitor and operational control tools are used with any of the four possible packages
