Which Precision Level?

What level of precision do you need? New Holland autoguidance solutions are compatible with a full range of guidance correction signals so that you can choose the exact level of precision that your operation requires. GPS and GLONASS correction signals are transmitted via a network of satellites that orbit the Earth and land based receivers can then determine their own position in relation to these signals. However, this alone is not accurate enough for agriculture, therefore a correction signal must also be used.

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space based satellite navigation system and is part of a larger system called the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). GNSS is a term used for all satellite constellation systems used to provide positioning data. Currently GNSS only covers GPS and GLONASS systems. GLONASS is similar to GPS and both are available worldwide. When auto guidance receivers track both GPS and GLONASS signals together, the number of ’visible’ satellites is greatly increased which reduces the risk of losing satellite coverage for increased uptime.

Implement Guidance and RTK. Increase your accuracy and yields

Compatible with the XCN 2050 display, and thanks to a DGPS antenna mounted on the implement, the TrueTracker™ systems keep your implement on a repeatable path on inclined fields with steep gradients and in variable soil conditions. Retrofit installation kits are compatible with most manufacturers’ implements.

Truetracker

Truetracker for complete Implement control. Guidance is mainly focused on the machine itself, but when working with large implements, such as the very widest planters and seed drills, the implement also needs to receive a guidance correction signal to ensure that it perfectly follows your tractor. After all, there is no point in keeping the tractor on the straight and narrow while your drill slips slowly down the hill! New Holland has developed a range of solutions that can work in three dimensions for ultimate whole vehicle accuracy.

TrueTracker™ Control

The TrueTracker™ system is an independent navigation system mounted on the implement that communicates with the tractor’s Autopilot™ system to provide you the highest level of accuracy. The TrueTracker™ system independently steers the implement on a repeatable path, even on extreme slopes and in variable soil conditions, using a hydraulic solution together with T3™ terrain compensation technology which is mounted on the implement. TrueTracker is compatible with the XCN 2050 display.

Input Control Systems

Input Control Systems to help manage your inputs to maximise your outputs. The Field-IQ crop input control system is a variable rate and section control system that runs on XCN 2050 monitors. It prevents seed and fertiliser overlap, controls the rate of material application and monitors seed delivery. Field-IQ™ automatic section control is able to control up to 48 individual rows, eliminating waste and double application of inputs by automatically shutting off rows or sections in areas which have already been covered, or do not require application.

Automatic Section Control

Section Control automatically shuts off rows or sections, eliminating double application of seed and fertiliser. It uses the tractor’s GPS system to automatically turn on and off individual planter sections in areas that have already been covered, or at headland turns, point rows, waterways or terraces. Double planting of rows is avoided, enhancing yields and eliminating waste.

Variable Rate Application Control

Vary application rates using prescription maps to better manage field variability. Variability in fields can be influenced by factors such as soil properties, topography, cropping history and field use. GPS position is communicated to the rate controller as the application equipment moves across different zones in the field, enabling it to vary application rates by zone. Rather than just applying a constant seed rate you can apply higher seed populations in well irrigated or highly fertile areas to maximize yield performance and use a lower application rate in less fertile areas or areas with poor irrigation. Also you can tailor chemical and fertiliser application in areas as required, lowering input cost and further enhancing yields.

PLM® ISO Task Controller

Control mixed fleets of ISOBUS compatible implements using your integrated New Holland IntelliView™ IV display.

  • Send commands to an ISOBUS compliant implement to modify its actions based on GPS positioning.

Manure Management

Spreading waste-based nutrients can help you grow more, while lowering fertiliser cost and protecting the environment. It is important that manure is always applied within an acceptable area and not dispersed where regulations prohibit. Manure management using the FM-750 will record dispersal location and keep track of the nutrients that have been applied on your farm.

Liquid Spreading:

Precisely monitor and control liquid spreading applications, saving input costs and meeting environmental regulations.

  • Create prescription maps and vary the rate depending on manure and soil properties.
  • Ensure that manure is applied in the correct areas and not where regulations prohibit.
  • Track applied nutrients and record dispersal locations.

Dry Spreading:

Utilise the FM-750™ display to help you accurately map and apply dry manure when spreading.

  • Ensure that manure is applied in the correct areas and not where regulations prohibit.
  • Track applied nutrients and record dispersal locations.

Harvest Management

Managing your harvest for guaranteed returns year after year. Integrated New Holland systems help increase yields. Precision farming has been engineered by design into the CR combines and the complete range of BigBalers to provide you with real-time information to maximise both crop and equipment performance.

  • Permanently record your yield in precise locations and store it for future reference.
  • Constantly analyse real-time moisture information to ensure your crop is always harvested in peak condition.
  • Prepare application maps for accurate, site-specific fertilising, seeding and spraying in relation to actual yields to increase your profits.

Real Time Combine Moisture Sensing

New Holland’s moisture sensor measures grain moisture in real time. Samples are taken every 30 seconds and the data is sent to the IntelliView™ monitor. As the information is delivered in real time, the operator is kept continually informed and can adapt machine parameters accordingly. For the most accurate readings, sensor calibration is required for each different crop type.

Combine Yield Mapping

The exclusive patented, high accuracy yield sensor developed by New Holland is generally recognised as the best in class. Its design neutralises the rubbing effect of grain. Whatever the kind, the variety or the moisture content of the kernel, the senor generates an extremely accurate yield measurement. If that wasn’t enough, once you have initially calibrated your sensor at the beginning of the season, no further intervention is required.

On The Go ActiveWeigh™ System

Bale weighing sensors are integrated into the bale discharge chute of the BigBaler and register the weight of the bale at the point at which it becomes free from the chute, just before it drops to the ground. The ActiveWeigh™ system is independent of bale length, field conditions and baler movement. All information, including single bale weight, average weight, total weight and tonnes per hour are all displayed on the IntelliView™ monitor. Furthermore, this all happens while you continue to pick-up for non-stop baling. If that wasn’t enough, a 2% accuracy level means you’ll produce the bales precisely as required.

Baler Moisture Sensing

It is imperative to record bale moisture, as an over-wet crop will spoil and be useless. The BigBaler moisture sensor uses two star wheels to penetrate the bale and an electric current is passed through to determine the exact moisture of the bale. This is then displayed on the IntelliView™ monitor which prevents unready crop from being baled, and enables the precise application of additive.

This is the main package for record keeping of fields, mapping and analysis. You can layer a variety of topographical and yield maps to establish yield performance, and compare these with average multiple year maps to identify areas that deliver consistently high or low yields. Variable rate prescription maps using formulas based on soil types can also be created, together with yield or other maps. Guidance paths can be created or edited, and reports can be printed for seeds varieties, restricted use chemicals, fertiliser usage, equipment maintenance and more.

PLM® Mobile:

Software that is suitable for the new generation, mobile, handheld field computer devices that includes record keeping, mapping field boundaries and drainage lines, scouting, soil sampling and variable rate application functionality.
