New Holland: Increased performance for CX5000 and CX6000 Elevation models

New Holland has upgraded its mid-range CX5000 and CX6000 Elevation combines, significantly increasing their capacity and performance. The models share the distinctive styling, high output levels and excellent performance of New Holland’s flagship combines, and the range now offers four basic models, two five-strawwalker and two six-strawwalker; two Laterale versions for sustained performance on steep slopes; and the CX5090 Elevation Hillside for combining in severe hillside conditions.
“With these four upgraded models we re-affirm New Holland’s mid range offering as the top performer in its category with increased capacity, best-in-class performance in all conditions and all fields, crop to crop versatility, and low operating costs,” New Holland’s head of combine product management, Hedley Cooper, said.
A feature of the new machines is the new Triple-Clean cleaning shoe that’s said to increase the combine’s cleaning capacity by as much as 15 per cent. There’s an extra cascade in the centre of the grain pan, where an additional air blast removes large volumes of chaff and short straw before final cleaning even starts on the main sieves. This means that the grain is almost completely cleaned in the first 50cm of the cleaning shoe, resulting in excellent grain sample. This triple cascade approach maintains the highest quality of cleaning when the machine is working at its highest capacity.
On the biggest six strawwalker model, a further increase in capacity is given by the new double-flight cross auger that transfers grain to the elevator faster. This results in an increase in throughput of the grain elevator that can be as high as 10 per cent.
The field autonomy of the CX5000 and CX6000 Elevation has been extended to match the combines’ increased capacity with bigger 670-litre fuel tanks and bigger grain tanks that have a capacity of 8,300 litres for the five strawwalker and 9,300 litres for the six strawwalker models.
CX5000 and 6000 Elevation combines reliably deliver best-in-class harvesting performance in all fields, all conditions and all slopes thanks to New Holland innovative and proven features.

New Holland’s CX6000 combines offer up to 333hp of harvesting power.

The AutoFloat II system automatically adjusts the pressure of the header lift system so that the pressure of the header on the ground remains constant whether the combine is moving on flat ground, uphill or downhill.
The OptiFan system adapts fan rpm when the slope changes, automatically ensuring a constant grain sample quality and cleaning capacity.
A choice of high-capacity and heavy-duty Varifeed headers with adjustable knife position for top cutting efficiency and correct feeding in all conditions. With a width of up to 9m, the headers are big enough to match the combines’ higher capacity.
The performance of the CX5000 and CX6000 Elevation benefits from automatic functions such as Cruise Control, which resumes a set field speed at the simple tap of a button on the CommandGrip handle.
The new IntelliView IV monitor, with a 31cm wide colour touch screen, enables operators to monitor all combine functions and control up to three cameras, further enhancing the excellent all-round visibility of the Discovery III cab.
These combines stand out for their crop-to-crop versatility, so operators will appreciate the new feature that shows Recommended Combine Settings on the screen, making crop settings and crop to crop transitions easier.
The CX5000 and CX6000 high-quality residue management meets the needs of the most demanding livestock and reduced tillage farmers. The unbroken straw in the swath left by one of these combines is ideal for producing bales with good bedding characteristics. The adjustable chaff spreading and improved chopper spread width result in an even distribution of crop residue.
Bigger, low-pressure and increased flexion steering and traction tyres are available for the CX5000 and CX6000 Elevation models, increasing flotation and consequently reducing ground compaction, preserving soil quality and protecting future yields.
