CX - Future Oriented, World Leader
 
Continuous success

New Holland CX combine harvesters have planted a land-mark in the history of harvesting systems. Their innovative technology tackles the challenges of changing farming practises and answers the calls for increased productivity. Their modern look underlines the progressive ideas behind their concept, design and development.

Based on incomparable experience and on the sound analysis of what a combine owner really expects, CX combines have been specified, designed, built and operated with great success ever since their introduction in 2001. Packed with a series of new features, CX combine harvesters are ready for even greater success.

Innovative features optimise the huge potential

Building on the proven New Holland CX concept, the range now shows characteristics that further optimise the potential of their advanced harvesting systems. High horse-power engines with modern injection technology, meet Tier III emission standards. "Agressive power-rise” characteristics ensure a sustained power supply even when working in the most demanding conditions.

In the most spacious cab on the market, the CX operator is in full control of the harvesting process, thanks to the new IntelliView™ II monitor with its wide colour screen and rotary encoder navigation.

Innovative automatic guidance devises, such as the SmartSteer™ and IntelliSteer™ systems, further maximise field precision for added daily output. This is of added importance when cutting with the wide Varifeed™ or Extra Capacity headers that cope perfectly with heavy or long straw crops.

A well balanced range

The CX combine range – New Holland’s flagship conventional combines – are available in five and six- strawwalker versions. The engines of the new CX models have the highest horsepower ratings of any conventional combine range. Their rated engine power ranges from 177kW [241hp(CV)] to 298kW [405hp(CV)]. Innovative engine design offers aggressive power rise characteristics, which on the largest model provide maximum power of up to 335kW [455hp(CV)].

For high levels of grain handling efficiency, grain tank capacity ranges from 7600 litres to 10500 litres.
 
From Zedelgem!

100 years ago, in 1906 Leon Claeys made his first threshing machines in Zedelgem, Belgium.

In 1952, the first European self-propelled combine harvester was built.

Today, the Zedelgem site is the “New Holland centre of excellence for harvesting equipment”.

The new CX models are designed and built by dedicated people, who know what total customer satisfaction means, both in terms of harvesting performance and on-the-job reliability.

Effortlessly maximising performance

Intuitive communication skills: IntelliView™ ll monitor

Permanently operating with the right information is a prerequisite for maximum capacity. The new IntelliView™ ll monitor with its wide colour screen is built into the console on the operator’s right-hand side. It displays all types of information and is also the interface to control and set up certain functionalities. Thanks to the wide screen and the use of colour, the information is displayed in a very structured way so that the operator finds what he needs at a glance. T

he new rotary encoder makes navigation through the different screens and menus extremely simple. The latest innovations in monitors and controls have been incorporated to help ensure that valuable harvesting days can be fully used to focus on the overall performance of the combine.

An extension of the operator’s arm

The multi-function lever on CX combines is the operator’s main tool to control the combines direction.

This ergonomically designed user interface also incorporates the control for the unloading auger position, engagement of the unloading system, all header and reel controls.

Brilliant ergonomics

For stress-less operation the lay-out of the right hand console is logical, with the switches and buttons in the most convenient positions.

The complete console can be adjusted to suit the operator’s preference and it contains all the switches and controls to adjust and setup the combine.

Electronically controlled gear selection gives easy shifting and pre-selection opportunities.

Simplified setups to gain time

To reduce unproductive time and to simplify the combine setup when switching between crops or when working in varying crop conditions, CX combines feature an automatic crop setting system.

There are sixteen factory installed settings available, each one related to a specific crop. Ten additional settings are available that can be individually programmed by the operator, even for the headland routine.

The settings involved include reel speed and position, drum speed and concave clearance, sieve opening and cleaning fan speed.

The Absolute Experience of Space and Comfort

A splendid view

To ensure the operators work efficiently, they have perfect visibility of all aspects of the harvest.
 
The largest cab on the market

The cab on New Holland flagship combine ranges provides more space than any other combine harvester cab on the market. This space, together with the many features that enhance the overall comfort level, is essential for the professional operator to continue working during the long days of the harvest.

All CX models feature air-conditioning. Automatic climate control is standard on many models. Seat adjustments include for-aft positioning, height and seat back angle. Depending on the model, an air-suspended seat can be available.

The cab is mounted on silent blocks and trimmed with insulation materials, so vibrations are practically eliminated and the noise level is the lowest on the market.

Massive Energy Translates into High Capacity

The highest horsepower rating to get the maximum out of the CX

The CX8030 is fitted with a new and technologically advanced common rail, six-cylinder New Holland engine. On the larger models, higher horsepower Iveco Cursor engines are fitted. To ensure a sustained power supply and correct running speed for threshing, separation and cleaning elements even when working in the most demanding conditions, the Tier III emissionised engines feature “aggressive power-rise” characteristics. All engines have full electronic control optimizing the combustion process for higher power and torque.

Precise fuel injection increases economy and lowers noise level

The Iveco Cursor 10 engine on the CX8090 features a fuel injection system with unitized injectors. This advanced diesel injection system integrates a high pressure pump and nozzle in a single assembly.

The engines on the other models feature Common Rail technology based on high injection pressure, generated in an accumulator - the rail.

Both unitized injection and the common rail technology use high injection pressure to produce a fine mist of fuel that burns better and cleaner in the combustion chamber. In addition to reduced exhaust emissions the advantages are better engine performance, less noise and low fuel consumption.
 
High cooling capacity

All radiator sections and the dust screen are easily accessible for thorough cleaning and have the dimensions to help ensure maximum performance in any climate or condition.

The CX combine’s cooling compartment incorporates different radiators for engine coolant water, hydrostatic oil, hydraulic oil and engine intercooler.

In the hinged section of the rotary dust screen you can find the radiator for the air-conditioning.

Gentle engagement maintains driveline reliability

For smooth engagement of power-demanding components between the engine and threshing or unloading systems, CX combines use a main engine drive gearbox with hydraulically engaged clutches.

This high-performance assembly is controlled via a modulated signal that spreads the load, resulting in smooth and efficient engagement.
   
Excellent power transmission with optimised belt grip

One of the most critical power transmission components is the drum speed variator. To help ensure positive and constant power transfer, the heavy-duty variator belt runs between large diameter discs and is continuously and automatically tensioned by a posi-torque system. This provides optimised grip and power transfer, even in the toughest harvesting conditions.

Unmatched Threshing with the Largest Threshing Drum Available
 
Impressive threshing produces intact kernels

CX combines are known for efficient threshing of even the toughest ears at an unbeatable rate. The largest threshing drum on the market has a diameter of 75cm.

A wrap angle of 111 degrees results in a substantial concave area of 1.18m² on the six-strawwalker models and 0.98m² on the five-strawwalker models. Threshing all the grain kernels out of every cereal crop or variety is done with great ease.

A lasting performance

An immense diameter means that the drum does not require a high rotational speed to achieve the optimum threshing action. This provides a smoother drive and less strain on the drivelines.

The high inertia of the large diameter drum smoothes out peak loads, even in damp conditions.

Unmatched separation potential

The large drum concave provides a vast separation surface. The concaves under the beater and the Rotary Separator add more forced separation area. Boosting the grain separation, the beater, the Rotary Separator and the Straw Flow™ beater each create a directional change in the crop flow. For higher straw quality in crops that do not require the extra rubbing, the four-drum technology includes the Multi-Thresh™ system that can lower the concaves of both the beater and the Rotary Separator.

A smooth crop flow adds to the daily performance

Sustaining maximum productivity is a major characteristic of the four-drum technology. The Rotary Separator not only provides an important extension of the rubbing action for additional grain separation, it also helps ensure a steady flow of the crop for maximum throughput. By enhancing crop transition between the Rotary Separator and strawwalkers, the Straw Flow™ beater also adds to the sustained throughput and to the overall daily capacity.


Top Grade Grain Sample!
 
Clean kernels in a steady flow, in line with the CX’s capacity

The CX’s cleaning shoe produces a perfect sample in any variety of crop thanks to the large and efficient cleaning area. The double acting shoe give the precise throwing stroke to each sieve for correct handling. The sieves are adjustable and for increased productivity in specific crops, specialist and round-hole sieves are available. Remote sieve adjustment from the cab can be specified on all models. A wind-controlled pre-sieve, fitted between the grain pan and the top sieves, collects the grain and directs a major portion of it to the lower sieve. This optimises the top sieve efficiency while the extra air-flow between the pre-sieve and the top sieve also adds to overall cleaning efficiency.
 
Wind-control matches the high grain volumes

With a total area under wind-control of 6.54m² on the six-strawwalker models and 5.40m² on the five-strawwalker models, the CX cleaning shoe can handle the large grain volumes produced by the highly productive threshing and separation systems. Plenty of air is drawn from both sides and from the top of the fan housing while two outlets help ensure an even wind pattern through the sieves. The powerful six-blade fan is available with a low-speed drive option for optimum blowing effect in light seeds.
 
The most efficient levelling system on the market

Working on side-slopes without the need to slow down for full cleaning efficiency: that is what the New Holland self-levelling cleaning shoe allows on any slope encountered up to 17%. An electrical actuator commanded by a levelling sensor, keeps the complete cleaning shoe horizontal, including the long grain pan, the pre-sieve, the top sieve and the bottom sieve. The grain is kept in an even layer while an even airflow through the sieves maintains maximum cleaning efficiency. This allows operating at the optimum speed on any slope, without the need to sacrifice speed or quality.
 
High levels of grain handling efficiency

CX combines have a high grain tank filling rate. They demand a grain transport system that matches their huge capacity.

For high levels of grain handling efficiency, the grain tank capacity is really large - from 7600 litres on the CX8030 to 10500 litres on the Model CX8090.

Reaching these high capacities while staying within accepted road transport widths, is achieved by folding out covers from the cab.

When opening the covers, the top section of the central filling auger automatically folds into the working position to ensure full use of the total grain tank capacity.

A swift manoeuvre

The unobstructed view of the unloading auger offers smooth and uninterrupted field operation while unloading.

With an unequalled unloading rate of 110 litres per second, even the largest 10500 litre grain tank is unloaded in less than 100 seconds.
 
New Holland Precision Land Management

Guiding the field operation

Recent developments in agriculture emphasise the use of advanced technology to get the maximum from the available land and natural resources.

On CX combines automatic guidance systems are available to reduce the load on operators so that they can concentrate on and maximise machine performance.

These systems automatically steer the combine but operators stay in command and take back full control whenever the steering wheel is turned.
 
Laser-based SmartSteer™ system eases the driving

The New Holland SmartSteer™ Automatic guidance system uses a laser scanner mounted under the left hand side of the cab roof.

It distinguishes between the cut and uncut crop to provide a signal for precise steering, so that the combine operator can concentrate on other vital combine functions to maintain maximum performance.

The scanner can be set to detect the left or the right hand crop edge.

IntelliSteer™ Automatic Steering System increases daily output

Making better use of the CX’s huge potential is what the IntelliSteer™ Automatic Steering System does.

Based on DGPS (Differential Global Positioning System) it will steer the combine in straight lines, parallel to a line between two points in a field, which is marked during the initial field pass.

The high precision guidance helps ensure that the full cutting width is used, eliminating missed crop.

The accuracy of the IntelliSteer™ system is not influenced by weather or crop conditions.

Automatic row guidance system for maize headers

Touch sensor arms in the front of a row unit continuously monitor the maize row.

Based on this information, the CX’s electronic system controls the steering valve and keeps the combine on course in any type of maize crop.

Getting more from growing inputs

A cultivation method that makes use of site specific soil treatment and seed application is one of the ways to optimise the efficiency of the crop-growing activity. The starting point of Precision Farming is a yield map.

The exclusive, patented, high accuracy yield sensor, developed by New Holland is generally recognised as the “best in class”. It uses a sensor plate mounted to a pivoting device with a counter weight, thus neutralising the rubbing effect of the grain.

In addition the throwing angle of the paddles that throw the grain onto this sensor plate is set so that shear grain volume does not cause deviation in the sensing system. Mounted on the grain elevator, a moisture sensor regularly takes a sample of the harvested grain, for accurate measurement of the moisture content.
 
No calibration requirement

Thanks to the ingenuity of its concept, the unique New Holland yield sensor is fully independent of kernel mass.

Whatever the kind, the variety or the moisture content of the kernel, the impact on the sensor generates an extremely accurate yield measurement.

There is no need for calibration between fields, crops or even between the cereals and maize season.

Precision Land Management possibilities

The level of application of the Guidance systems and Precision Farming technology may depend on the type and size of the farming operation, local requirements, core business characteristics or even the personal preference of the farm manager.

The available packages include:

• Moisture measuring system
• Yield and moisture measuring system
• Full Precision Farming package including yield and moisture measuring, DGPS yield mapping, desktop software and software support service.

The Perfect Start: Regular Cutting and Feeding
 
Varifeed™ headers adapt to the crop

There is an optimum header configuration for any specific crop. For regular and smooth crop feeding the ideal knife position depends on crop height and density. CX combines are designed for high capacity in any crop and the Varifeed™ header helps ensure that the crop flow is right from the start. The knife position on the Varifeed™ header has a fore-aft adjustment reach of 500mm.

This adjustment is electro-hydraulically controlled from the cab. The header bottom is closed in all knife positions, without the need for filler plates. With the varying distance between knife and intake auger, the header reel plays a more important role in crop guidance and crop feeding. It is hydraulically driven for increased flexibility and to provide ample torque. For added operator convenience, the Autofloat™ header control system is standard equipment on CX combines.
 
For high field speeds: Extra Capacity and High Capacity headers

For smooth crop guidance to the knife and to the feed auger, the High Capacity header on all New Holland combines has a large reel diameter and easy reel adjustments. The high knife speed and the feeding auger with retractable fingers over the full cutting width offer high field speed and help ensure a steady feeding. The configuration of the Extra Capacity grain header is adapted to heavy cereal crops. The knife position is advanced by 15cm and the large “header feeding area” copes perfectly with high crop volumes and long straw crops. For added torque the reel is driven hydraulically.

Only New Holland maize headers match perfectly

Matching the capacity of the CX combines, a range of high performance New Holland maize headers is available. These can be rigid headers, or, where road transport is an issue, they can be flip-up headers. The stalk rolls have four knives for the aggressive pulling down of any size of stalk and to adapt to changing stalk and cob sizes, the deck-plates are electrically adjustable from the cab. Integrated stalk choppers are available. Two knives per row unit help ensure thorough and fine chopping of crop residue and superb spreading of the chopped material for good decomposition.

Flexibility of stalk chopping is maximised by a built-in gearbox per row-unit. This means that individual rows can be engaged or disengaged. Operators of New Holland maize headers confirm that they are “the best in class - especially the choppers.” The automatic row guidance system and Autofloat™ sensors keep CX combines on course in all crop conditions. As row guidance takes over part of the operator’s job they can concentrate on and maximise the machines performance.

Chaff and Straw Treated the Appropriate Way

The importance of dealing correctly with chaff and straw

In operations where the use of straw is not the practise, CX combines provide the appropriate treatment of straw and chaff. Conservation tillage, an arable farming method of growing interest, consists of planting after minimal or even zero land tillage. It reduces labour time and can lead to increased crop yields and reduced soil-erosion. One draw-back of this farming practice may be pest problems created by moisture trapped in crop residues. This makes it vital to have a good consistent chop and full width even straw and chaff distribution, especially when working with the large headers common on CX combines. Avoiding chaff or straw accumulation also helps prevent seed drill blockages.
 
New Holland choppers:

chopping fine – spreading wide

The increasing importance of residue management has resulted in the offering of choppers entirely developed and produced by New Holland.

On CX combines there is a choice between four or six rows of knives. The high chopper speed of 3500rpm helps ensure the fine chopping and wide spreading of even the heaviest crops.

Flexible chaff blowing

Two hydraulically driven chaff blower units can blow the chaff into the straw chopper for spreading over the full cutting width while the straw is put in a windrow. This will provide straw with much less chaff.

When chopping straw, the chaff is spread together with the straw.

Exceptional straw quality
In CX combines, forced threshing and separation in done over large surfaces. As a result the rubbing does not have to be aggressive and the straw quality is high.

The large windrows will produce high quality bales with good bedding characteristics.
