CX5 ＆ CX6

1952: Europe’s first self-propelled conventional combine harvester rolled off the Zedelgem production line. The face of harvesting changed forever. 1970: another harvesting revolution occurred: the advent of the rotary separator on the 1550 range. Forty years on, this technology is still used in flagship conventional combines today. 1977: 8000 series was the first to benefit from six strawwalker technology. Cab comfort, a reversible auger drive, Roto-Thresher™ for processing tailings and a double cascade cleaning shoe significantly upped the performance stakes. 1994: the TX60 developed up to 325hp and could be equipped with a mighty 9.14 metre header with lateral float technology. 2001: the sleek lines of the CX700 and CX800 range were first unveiled. The benchmark Harvest Suite™ cab was an immediate hit thanks to outstanding visibility and ergonomic excellence and this range was the first to offer PLM compatibility. 2013: Opti-Speed™ auto adaptive variable speed strawwalkers are introduced on the CX7000 and CX8000 Elevation range. Tailored separation performance further enhances harvesting quality and productivity. 2020: launch of the new CX range with all new, optional, Agritechnica silver award winning Ultra-Flow™ staggered threshing drum technology which enhances capacity, reduces fuel consumption and blockages and makes for quieter and more efficient harvesting.

CX series combines are manufactured in Plock, Poland. Today, the Plock plant, builds not only CX combines, but also CH and TC combines, high capacity and Varifeed™ headers plus fixed and variable chamber round ballers: a true New Holland centre of excellence. Across every product line, this is a facility that takes pride in its products, blending the extensive knowledge of its dedicated workforce with sophisticated manufacturing processes and the latest design technology to build today’s machines.

Power comes from proven NEF or Cursor engines compliant with the Stage V emission standards. Fuel efficient and clean running, the power units develop maximum power outputs of 258hp - 340hp at a modest 2000rpm. In undulating terrain, these versatile combines have the power and specification to deliver level-land productivity and cleaning performance. For those that operate in more demanding terrain, CX5 & CX6 Laterale models offer slope correction of up to 18% on both sides. The CX5.90 Hillside model offers side hill correction of up to 38%.

The award winning Ultra-Flow™ staggered drum is now available on both CX5 &CX6 models, improving threshing performance. The proven Triple-Clean™ and self-levelling Smart Sieve™ cleaning system – which operates on slopes of up to 25% - is now matched to the Opti-Speed™ variable speed strawwalker system. Proven in the higher capacity CX7 and CX8 combine models, Opti-Speed automatically adjusts the speed of the strawwalkers both up and down slopes to deliver productivity improvements of up to 10% in hilly areas.

For sustained performance in hilly conditions, the CX5.90 and CX6.90 models are available in a “Laterale” versions. A simple and robust automatic levelling system provides a transversal slope correction of up to 18% on both sides. The Laterale system is in addition to the standard Triple-Clean™, self-levelling Smart Sieve™ and Opti-Speed™ straw walker speed control.  The result? Optimised cleaning efficiency over difficult terrain.

For a professional combine operation in severe hillside conditions New Holland offers the CX5.90 Hillside. Efficiency of the separation and cleaning sections is ensured by two independent hydraulic systems: one for the lateral slope correction and one for the longitudinal corrections. Safety and field efficiency are increased as the traction wheels remain vertical. A powerful engine producing a maximum power of 313hp, the heavy-duty hydrostatic transmission and the large disc brakes ensure optimum performance in the field. Hillside combines are also available in a narrow version with a maximum overall width of 3.5m.

The knife position on the Varifeed™ grain header is adjustable to work with the optimum header configuration in any particular crop. The fore-aft adjustment reach of 575mm allows ideal knife positioning and ensures top cutting efficiency and correct feeding. The electrohydraulic adjustment is made from the cab and the header bottom is closed in all knife positions.

Automatic Header Height Control allows a choice between stubble height control or header height compensation. The lateral float system takes care of correct transverse header positioning in uneven fields. For increased operator convenience, lateral float and Autofloat™ II systems operate automatically.

Autofloat™ II system corrects the “exaggerated weight signal” for maximum header positioning accuracy in rolling field conditions. Header bulldozing is avoided when working downhill and maintains correct stubble height when working uphill.

The new hydraulic vertical knife prevents the aggressive pulling apart of the crop and reduces seed loss to a minimum. When not required they can be stored conveniently on the header frame.

Available for Varifeed™ headers from 7.62m – 8.5m, the new range of four wheel-steer New Holland header trailers offer security, stability and ultimate manoeuvrability at speeds up to 40kph. Self-aligning locating brackets and a secure and reliable locking-pin system ensure minimum downtime when detaching the header. An optional large lockable storage box and on board spare wheel complete the package.

An optional Stalk Stomper kit is now available for fixed or flip-up maize headers. Mounted on the header frame, the spring-loaded Stalk Stomper skids flatten the stubble in front of the wheels. Uneven tyre wear and the likelihood of punctures is significantly reduced.

Upgraded maize header offering satisfies modern demands and boost productivity and harvesting efficiency. Shorter points better follow ground contours to prevent ‘run-down’ of valuable crops. The gills direct any loose kernels to the back of the header minimising waste. Replaceable wear strips extend the headers lifespan and all points flip up on self-supporting gas struts for easy cleaning and maintenance. 

Minimise operator stress and increase productivity with the Automatic Row Guidance system. Digital sensors within the Auto Row Guidance system continuously monitor the combine’s position and keep it on track for accurate harvesting. Accurate row following reduces cob losses and increases profitability. 

The mechanical stone protection system simply knocks the stones into a dedicated trap before they reach the threshing drum. This on-the-go system means zero slowdown during intensive harvesting days.

Header blockages are instantly cleared by the hydraulic reversing system. The entire header and elevator can be ‘rocked' backwards and forwards to effectively unblock the machine for minimum downtime and maximum harvesting uptime.

Available on 6 strawwalker models, the new front face adjustment system allows the cutting angle to be adjusted mechanically to suit different headers or crops for optimised feeding. 

The standard Triple-Clean™ cascaded cleaning system boosts cleaning capacity by as much as 15%. This simple yet innovative feature enhances cleaning by means of an extra cascade in the centre of the grain pan, where an additional air blast removes large volumes of chaff and short straw ahead of the main sieves. This triple cascade approach ensures cleaning is not compromised when overall machine capacity is being optimized. Further capacity improvements include the new double flight cross auger which transfers grain to the elevator faster and can result in a 10% increase in throughput of the grain elevator system on 6 strawwalker models.

The Smart Sieve™ system automatically adjusts the sieve action to compensate for side slopes, increasing lateral movement to guide the grain so it lies in an even layer across the sieve. The award-winning Opti-Fan™ system corrects fluctuations in the speed of grain flow across the cleaning shoe. Whether working up-hill or down-hill, the fan speed automatically adapts to the direction and to the degree of the slope, increasing overall cleaning efficiency by up to 30% in heavy conditions.

Adding to their extreme versatility, New Holland CX5 & CX6 combine models have a broad range of adaptation possibilities that ensure outstanding performance in any number of crops and crop conditions. These avoid the need for compromise on grain or straw quality. The ease of adapting the machine from one crop to another is outstanding.

Reducing the rebuilding time from 6 hours to 20 minutes! When switching from one crop to another, without removing the straw elevator, the lower concave sections can be replaced.

Opti-Thresh™ top concave section & the Multi-Thresh™ Rotary Separator concave adjustment handles are accessible on the right hand side of the machine. Also the drive belt tensioner, for changing the Rotary Separator speed, is easily accessible.

The Ultra-Flow™ staggered drum option, developed by New Holland to enhance overall threshing performance, is now available on both CX5 & CX6. The sectional drum features offset rasp bars which are suitable for all small grains and can be configured to work with maize. This system makes for smoother crop flow, resulting in lower in-cab noise, reduced fuel consumption and a lower instance of blockages. Capacity is improved by up to 15% and is delivered within an even more durable package.

Standard drum, standard rasp bars & small grain sectional concave frame: suitable for small grains, maize and pulses.

Universal drum, standard rasp bars & small grain sectional concave frame: heavy duty highinertia drum suitable for small grains, maize and pulses, and heavy straw conditions.

Ultra-Flow™ drum, staggered rasp bars and small grain or round bar concave suitable for small grains, maize and pulses.

Universal drum, standard rasp bars & rice sectional concave frame: suitable for small grains and rice.

Adapting to grain maturity and yield can be done with the Opti-Thresh™ system by repositioning the rear part of the concave. Different cereal varieties or varying degrees of crop moisture can be matched thanks to the Multi-Thresh™ system with two adjustment positions of the Rotary Separator concave.

Maintaining the aggressiveness of the grain pan steps in difficult crops like rape seed or maize may require regular cleaning. The CX combine’s grain pan can be removed from the front.

For maximum cleaning efficiency in varying crop conditions, adjusting the sieves can be done from the cab.

Available as standard, the new LED light aids the operator when inspecting the cleaning shoe, day and night.

The powerful bubble up auger ensures the entire capacity of the grain tank can be completely filled with no wasted space.

The twin-disc chaff spreader spreads the chaff onto the stubble before the straw hits the ground. Straw feed value can be increased by directing the chaff into the straw to be baled. A chaff blower can mix the chaff into the straw to be chopped for distribution together with the chopped straw. The chaff spreader has adjustable deflector plates to fine tune the spread width to the header size and achieve uniform chaff distribution.

The unbroken straw found in the swath of a CX5 & CX6 combine is the result of the low threshing aggressiveness. The new straw hood has adjustable rakes which allow control of the swath width.

Dual-Chop™ straw chopper includes an extra rake preventing long straw from escaping. Repeated cutting of these stems ensures very uniform chopping.

AdBlue is a key component of the ECOBlue™ HI-eSCR 2 system and is a water and urea mix that is added to the exhaust gases to make them harmless. Fill the AdBlue tank half as often as your diesel one. Available through your New Holland dealer, you will be able to store AdBlue on your farm in a container size that suits your needs.

New large steering wheels are available offering ground pressure as low as 1.2 bar and increased flotation and rolling ability in tough conditions. A wide range of tyres can be specified to suit your individual needs.

Low power consumption and ultimate reliability are the result of proven, direct drivelines and the 3-speed hydrostatic transmission. All combines are constructed on an extremely robust frame, with superior material specifications, in line with Zedelgem tradition.

For optimal fuel consumption, an automatic engine speed reducer adjusts engine rpm when travelling on the road.

The optional cut and sewn cloth trimmed seat with two heating level and active ventilation is perfect for the hottest days and the coldest nights, and features fore/aft movement.

New Holland brings to you the best-in class seat offering, with two different models providing you with a comprehensive choice. All seats benefit from improved cushioning. These firmer, more durable seat cushions provide outstanding comfort whatever the terrain.

Providing information on performance data, operational statistics and service data, the IntelliView™ IV monitor adds to optimising the combine’s performance. The wide touchscreen is easy to use. One of the many time saving features available is the automatic crop setting function, whereby a specific combine setting can be stored for repetition when the same field situation pops up again.

The new CX5 & CX6 feature the latest New Holland styling with an emphasis on the operator environment. For your comfort and safety, our engineers completely redesigned the platform for safe and easy cab access.

The impressive CX5 & CX6 lighting package is once more upgraded with completely new set of road lights integrated in a new cab chin skirt design. Designers incorporate the eye brow feature above the Road lights, reminiscent of the CR11 design. The spread of light has been engineered for maximum visibility of the entire header and the field ahead.

The Farm tab on the FieldOps™ portal is where you can analyse all field data. This information is recorded in real time by your combine during harvesting and can be transferred over the air to FieldOps™ through telematics. Users of the FieldOps™ package will be able to transfer this data wirelessly via file transfer to enable seamless analysis of field operations.

The FieldOps™ portal and app enable you to register and manage your equipment, access dedicated documents, training and services, and on-hand support, including Uptime Support, in one place. With FieldOps™ you can access the FieldOps™ Telematics portal for real-time fleet and machine visibility, analyse agronomic data through file sharing, together with productivity boosting services. As part of the Telematics package, the FieldOps™ allows for remotes screen viewing.
