VERSATILE GPS GUIDANCE.The New Holland EZ Guide Plus systemoptimises field work.As implements get wider for the different field operations,the attention demanded from the operator to steer correctly histractor is ever increasing. The New Holland EZ Guide Plus systemprovides both a practical and clear light bar, plus a multi view LCDscreen, indicating the path to follow. Using DGPS, the EZ Guide Plussystem memorises the path of an initial track and guides theoperator to drive in a parallel pattern for the following tracks.Overlaps and skips can be avoided and the convenience of EZ GuidePlus allows faster operation than conventional guidance methods.These features help reduce input costs and get the job done in lesstime. EZ Guide Plus keeps you working when visibility is poor.Mist, fog or lack of daylight does not prevent this guidance systemfrom keeping you on track. The reduction in operator stress, makeslong working days less of a chore. As EZ Guide Plus is not built intothe tractor, it can be easily moved from machine to machine.2

Do more with theNew Holland EZ Steer system.A further development of the EZ Guide Plus light-bar system allowsthe tractor driver to maximise his concentration on the implement.Based on the recorded initial track and using output from the DGPSprocessor, EZ Steer uses an electric motor to drive a friction wheelthat turns the steering wheel for you, keeping the tractor on aparallel track. At the edge of the field, or whenever required,turning the steering wheel will disengage the assisted steering.Operator fatigue or distraction are virtually eliminated, not onlyavoiding overlap and skips but also adding to the quality of the job.As a result the driver’s daily performance will increase.The New Holland EZ Steer system is easy to installand set-up on any tractor with power steering.3

MAKING BETTER USE OFVARYING SOIL CHARACTERISTIHigher profits.Increasing yield with the same input or maintaining yield withreduced input; this is what can be done with Precision Farming.The DGPS based system on New Holland CX and CR combinesallows you to permanently register your yield and store it, linkedto the precise location. That information - in combinationwith other DGPS collected data like crop moisture content and soilvariations - is then used to prepare application maps for accurate,site-specific fertilising, seeding and spraying, thus increasing yourprofits. Precision Farming also helps reduce labour costsand fuel consumption.Exclusive yield measuring system.Accurate, crop independent yield measuring is the most criticalaspect of data gathering for Precision Farming. The exclusivepatented high accuracy yield sensor developed by New Hollandrequires no calibration between different crops. The sensor platebetween grain elevator and grain tank filling auger, is fitted to apivoting device with a counterweight. This neutralises the rubbingeffect of the grain and provides precise mass measuring whateverthe kernel size or shape, the grain density and the moisture orimpurity content. The operator of a New Holland combine canconcentrate on harvesting rather than on setting up and calibrating.4

CS.An integrated package.To maximise customer profitability, New Holland offers aPrecision Farming package that is integrated into the combines’control systems. The monitor and operational controltools are used with any of the four possible packages1) Moisture measuring2) Yield measuring and moisture measuring3) Yield measuring, moisture measuring and data logging4) Full Precision Farming system for yield mapping, including- DGPS: antenna & receiver (modular)- Data Logging (modular)- Yield measuring, including moisture measuring- Desktop Software for yield mapping- Customer training and support for efficientand proper use of the Desktop Software5

INTELLISTEER AUTOMATICSTEERING SYSTEM.Working in parallel lines with full attentionon the implement.While the steering of the tractor is managed by the New Hollanddesigned and developed IntelliSteer Automatic Steering System,tractor operators can drastically improve their field performance byconcentrating fully on the proper performance of their implement.Using DGPS technology, and fully integrated tractor control systems,IntelliSteer helps ensure parallel passes when working either instraight lines, on curves, on pivots, or on undulating ground.When planting, seeding, cultivating or tilling, in difficult weatherconditions or at night, the operator can focus on the operationof the implement without any risk of overlap or missed ground.No need to follow markers!Once the guidance pattern has been selected and the implement widthprogrammed, the operator merely needs to indicate the start andfinish points of the first pass as it is completed. IntelliSteer will thenprovide a visual indication of the subsequent passes to aid tractorplacement on the headland. When the next row is approached andautomatic mode is selected, IntelliSteer takes over the task of steeringand guides the outfit parallel to the original track.6

As accurate as you wish.The GPS, Global Positioning System, determines the locationof a vehicle by comparing the distances between its receiver anda minimum of 4 out of 24 satellites travelling in a predictable orbitaround the globe, at an altitude of some 20,000km. The accuracyof the free GPS signal is between 5 and 15m. The accuracy variesbecause the GPS satellites are moving relative to the earthand the signal that they transmit is distorted by varyingatmospheric conditions.As farming applications require a higher accuracy, correctionsignals are used. These differential signals, upgrading GPSto DGPS, are available from different sources- Using a ground station and a DGPS satellite, several providersoffer a correction signal that increases accuracy to a rangebetween 10cm and 25cm.- Using a personal base station, an RTK signal (Real Time Kinematic)achieves an accuracy of less than 2cm.RTKUniversal colour displays.For increased customer convenience, New Holland willprogressively introduce from Harvester Season 2007 onwards acommon colour display for tractors, combines, balers, self-propelledforage harvesters etc. The 17.8cm IntelliView II monitor will have arotary encoder and buttons along the screen to control the monitor.The 26.7cm IntelliView II Plus monitor (not available onNew Holland combines) will use a touch screen.Whatever the application, the screens are presented in a similarway so that the operator is familiar with the different screens,independent from equipment or implement.The IntelliView II monitor has three camera input channelsand USB connection. All screens are sunlight readable.7

ISOBUS: SIMPLIFYING COMMUNIAND THEIR IMPLEMENTS.Beyond manufacturer level.Today, many pieces of equipment used with a tractor requirecontrol or adjustment by the operator using a control box mounted inthe cab. Switching an implement from tractor to tractor has requiredcontrol boxes and cables to be moved. ISOBUS provides the convenientsolution. It builds the bridge to control several implements and functionsfrom a single terminal.Today, nobody questions the intangible value of the standardisedmechanical connections, three-point linkage and PTO, on the differenttractor brands. ISOBUS, the standardisation of electrical connections,electronics and data processing, is probably an even bigger milestonein the history of agricultural equipment development.ISOBUS provides a protocol for compatible data interfacefor the connection of tractor, implement and on-board computer,synchronizing this information exchange beyond manufacturer level.8

CATION BETWEEN TRACTORSMaximum compatibility.ISOBUS (the ISO11738 standard) is a CAN (ControllerArea Network) protocol for communication, specificallydesigned for use in agricultural and forestry equipment.By establishing a communication protocol used acrossthe industry, ISOBUS, makes double information collectionand storage unnecessary.ISOBUS extends the possibilities of precision farming through“more intelligent” functions and GPS data integration.It provides investment security for farmers and contractorsas a result of guaranteed compatibility. It also helps ensure properimplement functioning, without the need for multiple control boxes.9

CUSTOMER SUPPORT ANDYIELD MONITORING ON CSX7000CSX7000 moisture and yield monitoring.On the new range of CSX7000 combines a yield and moisture measuringsystem is available as Dealer Installed Accessory. The system’s accuracyand reliability is based on the proven technology of the Ceres 8000monitor. The system is extendable to full Precision Farmingby adding the Data logger, the D-GPS antenna fromNew Holland and the Precision Farming Desktopsoftware with its customer support system.10
