-- The CR10.90 from New Holland Agriculture's
CR Series of combine harvesters sets a record for the global
farming industry. This is the latest development to emerge from CNH
Industrial's activity in the field of innovative agricultural
equipment.
BASILDON, United Kingdom, July 23,
2014 /PRNewswire/ -- CNH Industrial N.V. (NYSE: CNHI /
MI: CNHI) brand New Holland Agriculture has achieved a product
milestone with the introduction of its new CR10.90 combine
harvester, now the world's most powerful with 652 horsepower.
A combine harvester is used for harvesting crops.
Functionality-wise, this machine is built to literally 'combine'
the reaping and threshing processes. The CR10.90 is built at New
Holland Agriculture's Centre of Harvesting Excellence in Zedelgem,
Belgium. It has up to 15% higher
productivity than the brand's previous highest capacity model and
when compared with what was considered a high capacity combine a
decade ago, this new machine has over 25% more productivity, thanks
to advances in harvesting and engine technology.
With over 170 years of experience in farming equipment, CNH
Industrial's product innovation and expertise in the agriculture
sector provide farmers and agribusinesses with efficient,
sustainable and profit-generating technologies. This latest success
in the field is further confirmation of the Company's dedication to
agriculture worldwide. The new features that have gone into the
world's most powerful combine harvester confirm CNH Industrial's
commitment to sustainable agriculture as well as its efforts to
maximise the efficiency of cultivated land to ensure continuous
growth and development.
The CR10.90 is the most powerful on the market thanks to its
Engine of the Year® 2014, Cursor 16 engine (with ECOBlue™ HI-eSCR
technology for Tier 4B compliance) from FPT Industrial, CNH
Industrial's powertrain brand. It is equipped with Twin Rotor®
technology, pioneered 40 years ago by New Holland, delivering
efficiency, capacity and grain quality. The combine's larger,
14,500 litre grain tank allows for more time between unloading and
can be emptied in under two minutes, which is the equivalent of
emptying approximately 140 baths in the same time. The larger
Harvest Suite™ Ultra Cab improves operator comfort and provides
excellent visibility while harvesting.
Through its global Research & Development operations and
agricultural machinery brands, CNH Industrial has dedicated
significant resources to providing the appropriate means to
increase actual and potential soil productivity. An excellent
example of this is the SmartTrax™ rubber tracks with Terraglide™
suspension technology, standard on this model, which reduces soil
compaction, resulting in less damage to soil and higher yields for
the future.
Also with regards to increasing soil productivity, one of the
Company's main areas of focus is Precision Agriculture Technology,
which is widely recognised as the most efficient driver towards
sustainable agriculture. New Holland's IntelliSteer™, fully
integrated autoguidance solution, and PLM Connect™ telematics
system are both available on the CR10.90. These technologies
provide auto guidance capabilities to map fields to harvest in the
most efficient manner and to analyse harvesting data to enable a
future improvement of
yields.
