CX5 ＆ CX6 LATERALE ＆ HILLSIDE

Quick and easy adaptation to all crops

Proven threshing and separation

New Holland CX Laterale and Hillside combines share the same high performance straw walker technology of CX level-land models. Key components include Opti-Speed™ system, threshing drum with Opti-Thresh™ system, a beater, Rotary Separator and, as an option, a Straw Flow™ beater. For optimum versatility, this proven CX threshing system can be adapted to deliver excellent performance in a variety of crops and to suit a wide range of operating conditions.

Rubbing on demand: the Opti-Thresh™ system

Adapting to grain maturity and yield can be done with the Opti- Thresh™ system by repositioning the rear part of the concave. When closed the concave reaches a full 121 degree angle of wrap. When the hinged top section is moved away from the drum, the rubbing action is less aggressive and the straw quality is improved. Changing the position of the Opti-Thresh™ concave section is now very easy, making it more convienient to use.

Flexible impact thanks to the Multi-Thresh™ system

Different cereal varieties or varying degrees of crop moisture can be matched thanks to the Multi-Thresh™ system with two adjustment positions of the Rotary Separator concave. This setting comes in addition to the double Rotary Separator speed range.

The universal drum: switching from cereals to rice

There is no need for a complete drum replacement when changing from cereals to rice, or vice versa: the slats on the universal drum can be replaced in no time.

Standard sectional concave: easy to manage, quick to change

Reducing the rebuilding time from 6 hours to 20 minutes! When switching from one crop to another, without removing the straw elevator, concave sections can be easely replaced.

Easy adjustments

• Opti-Thresh™ top concave section & the Multi- Thresh™ Rotary Separator concave adjustment handles are accessible on the right hand side of the machine
• The drive belt tensioner, for changing the Rotary Separator speed, is easily accessible

High quality bales with good bedding characteristics

• The unbroken straw found in the swath of a CX5 or CX6 Hillside or Laterale combine is the result of the low threshing aggressiveness
• The new straw hood has adjustable rakes which allow control of the swath width

Three-way residue management: in the swath or on the stubble

• The twin-disc chaff spreader spreads the chaff onto the stubble before the straw hits the ground
• Straw feed value can be increased by directing the chaff into the straw to be baled
• A chaff blower can mix the chaff into the straw to be chopped for distribution together with the chopped straw
• The chaff spreader has adjustable deflector plates to fine tune the spread width to the header size and achieve uniform chaff distribution

No escape: uniform straw chopping

• Optional Dual-Chop™ straw chopper includes an extra rake preventing long straw from escaping
• Repeated cutting of these stems ensures very uniform chopping

Opti-Speed™ variable speed strawwalkers: a New Holland exclusive

• Opti-Speed™ auto adaptive variable speed strawwalkers deliver up to a 10% productivity improvement
• Choose wheat, maize, rapeseed or rice setting, your CX5 and CX6 will automatically regulate strawwalker speed in relation to the crop selected
• When travelling uphill strawwalker speed reduces to keep every grain inside the machine
• On downward gradients, the speed is increased to prevent clogging and inefficient separation
• The system continually dialogues with the Opti-Fan™ and Opti-Clean™ systems to fine tune the strawwalker speed from 170-240rpm
