Since its launch, the CX combine harvester range has collected 33 prestigious awards during its 20-year long career.
With more than 20,000 machines sold since its launch in 2002, New Holland is celebrating the 20th anniversary of its CX range of conventional combine harvesters.
The machine has defined super conventional combine harvesting. Since its launch, the CX range has collected 33 prestigious awards during its long career – a fitting testament to its success.
“When we launched the CX, back in 2002, it made a huge impression on first sight with its curvy lines breaking tradition with the boxy shape of combine harvesters of the time,” says Lars Sorensen, New Holland global product combine leader.
“It was a fitting start for a combine range that would go on to introduce countless groundbreaking innovations and become the most awarded straw walker combine in the world.”
The CX combine flagship range was born from a strong legacy. It includes features such as the brand’s rotary separator, which was introduced in 1972, the integrated armrest launched in 1993 and the 750mm diameter threshing drum – launched in 2001.
Picking up the Machine of the Year title at Agritechnica and SIMA Innovation Awards along the way, the CX was also designed for precision farming and – in the last 10 years alone – has increased productivity by 17%.
In 2020, CX introduced the Ultra- Flow staggered drum – the first new drum concept since the launch of self-propelled combines in 1952. This features a unique design, which uses 16% less total threshing power, reducing fuel consumption and increasing capacity by up to 15%.
Today the CX combine remains on point, offering customers Opti-Speed auto-adaptive variable speed straw-walkers, SmartTrax, Opti-Fan, Opti-Clean and Opti- Spread technologies.
In addition, high levels of comfort and ergonomics are delivered by the Harvest Suite Ultra Cab, with power and fuel efficiency provided by the HI-eSCR ECOBLUE 2.0 FPT engine.
Up front, CX is now available with the brandnew FD2 Flex Draper. This is the first offering from New Holland’s partnership with MacDon Industries, which features a unique float response and more header flex.
The header utilises the MacDon Active Float System which ensures the float response navigates over ground fluctuations with up to 70% more flex. The MacDon ClearCut High- Speed Cutting System also provides more torque and durability to power through the most challenging cutting conditions.
The Active Crop Flow, featured as part of the unit, provides headfirst delivery of crops along the side drapers toward the FeedMax Crop Feeding System to ensure efficient feeding and improved threshing performance.
Farm races or laneways are central to moving animals, people and machinery around the farm. In the case of dairy farms, their maintenance is paramount as cows may walk considerable distances two or even three times a day.
With effluent becoming a more important part of farm management, particularly for its value as an alternative to “bagged” fertiliser, it is timely for the Power Farming Group to be introducing the Fliegl range of tankers.
It has been a year of new products and innovation at Numedic, the Rotorua-based manufacturer and exporter of farm dairy effluent equipment.
