hen it comes to combine harvesters, New

Holland is – and always has been – literally in

front of the field. And the changes that have

been recently brought to the CX range, the CR range and

the TC Hillside range recently are proof of the company’s

continuous innovation.

Six new models for the CX Range.

Target achieved

First of all, the new

CX series

. A totally new family of

super conventional combines. Six new models: two five-

strawwalker and four six-strawwalker. A new CX8.85

450hp six-strawwalker model with a 12,500 litre grain

tank. And of course the world famous, top of the range

CX8.90 flagship: the highest capacity conventional combine

on the planet.

“The CX Series is the latest generation in a long line of

New combine ranges lead the market

quiet. With a volume of 3.7m³ and noise levels of 73dB(A)

it makes working that much easier. The glaze area has

increased by 7% to an outstanding 6.3 square meters for

extraordinary visibility. A new ergonomic design puts have

been redesigned to put the entire process at the operator’s

fingertips. The harvesting console has a new layout with all

key harvesting parameters at the fore.

Harvesting speed can be fine tuned with the force based

CommandGrip™ multifunction handle

, which the

CX Series shares with the flagship CR rotary combines

and high horsepower tractors. And the ultra-wide 10.5

inch

IntelliView™ IV

colour touchscreen monitor is

mounted on rollers so that it can be positioned just

as the operator wants it. With the option of a second

screen, perfect for IntelliSteer™ autoguidance and for

displaying views from up to six cameras, one of which is

dedicated to reversing.

The operator is also assisted by a new lighting package

Operator comfort, grain quality, straw quality, power, fuel consumption

and low maintenance cost. Everything changes for the better

high performing conventional combines which began

in 2001 with the launch of the first CX models and has

been characterized by constant innovation” stated

Lars Skjoldager Sørensen, Head of Harvesting Product

Management. “The new CX Series remains true to this

heritage: it is the highest capacity conventional combine

in the world, featuring the best of New Holland’s

technologies, such as the award winning Opti-Speed™,

Opti-Clean™ and Opti-Fan™ systems. Contractors and

multi-crop farmers will be able to switch between different

crops quickly and easily, boosting their productivity thanks

to entirely new sectional concave technology. Large-scale

farmers will achieve unprecedented profitability with the

high capacity and unsurpassed straw and grain quality of

the new CX Series”.

So, what has changed?

First of all, operator comfort. The

Harvest Suite™ Ultra

cab

is new to the CX Series and the result of extensive

customer consultation. It is spacious, comfortable and

precision engineered to provide perfect visibility for the

header and the field, both ahead and behind. Operator

comfort is only one of the features of the new CX range.

Grain and straw quality are also unsurpassed. The unique

Opti-Speed™

strawwalkers automatically adjust speeds

to maximise throughput of the crop: wheat, corn, canola,

rice are all treated differently. And it is the combine that

takes the decision. At the right moment, with the right

tuning.

When harvesting uphill, the system automatically slows

down the strawwalkers to keep the grains safely inside

the combine, only to accelerate them again downhill.

The

Opti-Clean™

system improves cleaningperformance

by up to 20% by optimising the sieve stroke and throwing

angles together to maximise cascade capacity. Equally

intelligent is the award-winning

Opti-Fan™

system

that automatically adjusts fan speed according to the

incline. Once the desired fan speed is selected on flat

ground, the fan will slow down when harvesting uphill

to prevent losses and speeds up when travelling downhill

to maintain a perfectly clean grain sample.

The powerful

Opti-Spread™

residue management

system has been designed for maximum efficiency.

With the CX8.90 working with the largest 12.5m Varifeed™

header, it easily meets any spreading width requirement

with ease. The Dual Chop™ technology ensures a superfine

chop of all material.

The CX8.85 and CX8.90 combines’ 12,500 litre grain

tank capacity is the largest on the market. Folding covers

The new CX range is accompanied

by a new powertrain setup for the

CR range and a brand new TC5.90

Hillside

can be secured in the evening to prevent moisture

entering the tank, and can be opened and closed from

the comfort of the operator’s seat. Bigger size, however,

does not necessarily mean longer unloading times.

Unloading speed has increased by 14% which means

the largest 12,500 litre grain tank can still be emptied

in under two minutes. SmartTrax™ is available on the

CX7.90, CX8.80, CX8.85 and CX8.90 models. The

system provides extraordinary traction thanks to rubber

tracks mounted with the

Terraglide™ suspension

system

. Multi-crop farmers will benefit from sectional

concaves that allow for fast changing: switching from

one harvest to another in less than 20 minutes.

A unique versatility that is ideal to contractors or multicrop

famers. The CX8.90 complies with Tier 4A regulations

using an ECOBlue™ SCR engine that delivers 10% fuel

savings compared to a Tier 3 engine, plus outstanding

transient response for sustained productivity in all field

conditions. All other CX7 and CX8models use

ECOBlue™

HI-eSCR technology

to comply with the most stringent

Tier 4B emissions standards.
