NH's SideWinder Ultra armrest, which groups the tractor's key controls ergonomically in a single location, picked up an ASABE award.
Two New Holland innovations were winners of the 2020 AE50 awards, recognising innovation, engineering advancement and impact on the agricultural, food and biological systems markets.
The awards were given out by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE).
The first was for NH’s SideWinder Ultra armrest, which groups the tractor’s key controls ergonomically and logically in a single location. These include engine and transmission, including speed and end-of row functions, three-point-hitch limits, media and climate control.
The SideWinder Ultra is a fully customisable operator interface that works in conjunction with the IntelliView 12 touch monitor.
The other function to win an award was the Ground Speed Management II system that adds features to the New Holland Dynamic Comman tractor, increases efficiency.
A vehicle operating interface and speed control system, like that of the Auto Command CVT, interacts with key gearbox and engine loadings to maintain the speed requested by the driver. This serves to reduce fuel consumption and improving operating efficiency with minimal operator input.
