New Holland returns to Cereals in 2018 and will be showcasing some of its latest machines. Visitors to stand 887 will see the CR9.80 Revelation 24" SmartTrax with Flex Technology, part of the CR Revelation range – its latest rotary combine models launched in 2017.  The manufacturer’s new T6 Direct Command and high performance T7 Heavy Duty tractors and BigBaler 1290 Plus will also be on display.

New Holland has also provided the UK’s leading arable event with two T6 tractors to pull the visitor ride-on trailer shuttle to and from the car park on both days in style.

CR9.80 Revelation Combine Harvester

The latest CR models have been designed with increased capacity in mind.  Both narrow and wide width models feature more space in the rotor tube for increased capacity at a lower power requirement. The new styling also ensures improved visibility and serviceability.

Launched at harvest 2017, the narrow frame CR7.90 and CR8.80 features a revised rotor cage, which increases the space available for threshing while the latest Twin Pitch Rotors and a revised Dynamic Feed Roll maintain crop throughput in even the most difficult harvesting conditions.

The wide frame models now feature Twin Pitch Plus as standard, the rotor configuration that was developed especially for the world-beating CR10.90.

Residue management is likely to be one of the biggest challenges facing farmers over the next ten years so, the CR8.90, CR9.80, CR9.90 and range topping CR10.90 all benefit from a revised residue management system including, an award-winning chaff distribution system, a revised straw chopper rotor for finer chopping and, revisions to the Opti-Spread system to ensure even spreading of chopped material out to 14.5 metres.

Tractors

New Holland will show its new T6 Dynamic Command multi-purpose tractor range with new, 8 step semi-powershift transmission.  Offering between 145 and 175 max hp with engine power management, the lowest fuel consumption levels of a 4-cylinder agricultural tractor, and a host of productivity-boosting features, the T6 Dynamic Command models sets a new benchmark in efficiency. The T6 24x24 Dynamic Command adds further choice to the popular Basildon-Built T6 range, complementing the T6 Electro CommandTM and Auto Command models.

The T6 Dynamic Command  range is now available via New Holland dealers with demonstration units becoming available from May 2018.

Additional tractors at the show include the T7 Heavy Duty tractor. The most powerful tractors ever built in Basildon, the two-model T7 Heavy Duty range offers an excellent power to weight ratio, making it ideal for tillage and top work, especially at speed. Continuously variable transmission provided by New Holland’s Auto Command.  Four-speed rear PTO and a two-speed front PTO offer significant fuel savings with engine rpm adjusted via the in-cab speed shift to take account of changing conditions and implement demands, to maximise engine efficiency.

BigBaler 1290 Plus

The new BigBaler 1290 Plus, launched in 2017, will also feature on the New Holland stand. Featuring a 80 cm longer baler chamber over the previous model, it delivers up to 10% higher density in perfectly formed bales for stacking and transport, and maintains this high bale quality through the day. The BigBaler’s double knot system is designed to guarantee high bale density with lower knotting strain, reducing the risk of twine snapping even in hot conditions, further increasing productivity.

A host of unique features make the high capacity BigBaler stand out, such as the IntelliCruise technology that automatically regulates tractor ground speed to maximize baling capacity and uniform bale density, MaxiSweep pick-up design tackles high tonnage windrows, and SmartFill feed flow indicators that tell the operator in real time which direction they should drive over the swath for even bale formation.

In CropCutter models, the new high quality chrome pins are more wear resistant against sand and dust, and extend the chain life significantly. Each knife is spring protected to avoid breakage from foreign objects and optional hard-faced knives are available for greater durability.
