CX7 ＆ CX8

Europe’s first self-propelled conventional combine harvester rolled off the Zedelgem production line. The face of harvesting changed forever.

In the early days of self-propelled combining, farmers needed small units, and the M73 satisfied their requirements, with a threshing drum of just 73cm. The only ever combine with a sub one metre drum.

The M103 set new productivity records, with throughout of up to 7 tonnes per hour. Another impressive number: 27,510 M103s rolled off the production line in just under a decade.

M140 was the first “modern” combine. Operator comfort and grain tank size were of prime importance. In order to increase productivity it was the first model with a 1.25m diameter drum and boasted five strawwalkers.

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.

8000 series was the first to benefit from six strawwalker technology. Cab comfort, a reversible auger drive, Roto- Thresher™ for processing trailings and a double cascade cleaning shoe significantly upped the performance stakes.

The TX30 range was designed for professional harvesting operations. Outstanding visibility was coupled with improved harvesting autonomy and intuitive monitors for outstanding harvesting performance.

The TX60 developed up to 325hp and could be equipped with a mighty 9.14 metre header with lateral float technology.

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.

The CX8000 range made fingertip harvesting possible with the introduction of the IntelliView™ II monitor alongside Tier 3 engines.

The introduction of ECOBlue™ SCR technology delivered a mighty 10% reduction in fuel consumption.

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.

The CX7 & CX8 range celebrates 15 years of super conventional harvesting excellence with the introduction of the benchmark Harvest Suite™ Ultra cab.

Introduction of ECOBlue™ HI-eSCR 2 technology for Stage V compliance.

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 harvesting

The optional 36 teeth side knives has been redesigned with a low mounting point. The lighter design makes them easier to connect to the Varifeed™ header for even more user friendly operation The improved hydraulic hose routing helps minimise crop obstructions during harvesting Controlled by a switch on the right hand console, they guarantee more efficient rape harvesting When not required, they can be stored on a dedicated storage bracket on the header

The advanced Automatic Header Height Control system is available in three operational modes: Compensation Mode uses a pre-established ground contact pressure that is hydraulically maintained to ensure efficient harvesting of laying or low growing crops such as peas and beans Automatic Stubble Height Control maintains a pre-set stubble height by using sensors located on the underside of the header together with the hydraulic header control cylinders The Autofloat™ III system uses a combination of sensors that ensures even better ground following in uneven terrain and has a quicker response time to automatically adjust its position hydraulically to maintain uniform stubble height and to prevent the header digging into the ground For improved ground following characteristics on 10.67m and 12.5m Varifeed headers, optional gauge wheels can be specified

The range guarantees optimum harvesting quality and a uniform cut in fields of different crop heights Knives can be adjusted by a full 575mm in their fore-aft position for ideal feeding 660mm diameter auger with deep flights provides fast, smooth feeding Adjustable retracting fingers between each auger flight move the crop down and under the auger, for smooth, continuous feeding

High Capacity header has a large reel diameter and easy reel adjustments High speed knife and retractable feed auger fingers offer high field speed and ensure consistent feeding High Capacity rice header is available, featuring 50% thicker auger flights, which have been coated with Hardox to reduce wear

The Superflex header is the default choice for undulating terrain The knife bed can flex a full 110mm in uneven fields to ensure a close cut and uniform stubble height The full-floating auger with deep flights provides fast, smooth feeding even in the heaviest crops Precise feeding and processing are a given with 1150 cuts per minute and the cab-based hydraulic fore and aft reel adjustment A pre-set ratio can be maintained between reel speed and ground speed, so that when ground speed changes consistent feeding is guaranteed

Available for Varifeed™ headers from 7.62m – 12.5m, the 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.

The MacDon FD2 FlexDraper® is a multi-crop harvesting machine. Switch the FD2 easily from a flex to a rigid frame header with the simple flip of a lever, giving you the versatility to move from one crop type to another. Cereals, oilseeds, beans, just about any crop in any condition; another reason why the FD2 is the ultimate performance upgrade for your combine.

Optional Stalk Stomper kit is available for fixed or flip-up corn headers Tyre & track wear is reduced when harvesting maize by flattening the stubble in front of the wheels

Upgraded corn header line-up satisfies the demands to 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 to the header reducing waste The replaceable wear strips extend the headers lifespan and all points flip up on self-supporting gas struts for easy cleaning and maintenance

All New Holland corn headers are designed for top harvesting performance in all crop conditions The stalk rolls have four knives for aggressive pulling down of any size stalks The deck plates are electronically adjustable from the cab to adapt to changing stalk and cob size Optional rotary dividers further enhance crop intake in laid maize crops

Rigid headers are available in 6, 8 and 12 row versions Flip-up versions are perfect for transport intensive operations and the 6 and 8 row variants fold within 3.5m

Integrated stalk choppers can be fitted, perfect for minimum or zero tillage operations Maximum flexibility is guaranteed thanks to individual row engagement Widely accepted as the “best-in-class” by New Holland customers

The stone protection system simply knocks the stones into a dedicated trap before they reach the threshing drum The trap can be emptied using an easy to reach lever This system protects the combine and ensures crop purity A symbol on the IntelliView™ 12 colour touchscreen monitor indicates when the stone trap is open

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

A heavy duty, 4 chain elevator, evenly feeds the CX’s drum A roller mounted mid-way along the elevator exerts more pressure on the crop to help feed in difficult damp or green straw conditions, maintaining output in the harshest of harvests

Operators can select from three different driving strategies for the IntelliCruise™ II feature: Maximum capacity. When working against tight weather windows, or when optimising contracting performance, the maximum capacity setting can be selected. This ensures that the combine’s ground speed is set to make full use of the engine potential, causing it to run at maximum load. Fixed throughput. To maintain uniform combine performance, the fixed throughput setting has been developed. This mode varies the groundspeed to maintain a set flow rate. Limited loss. Every grain counts. For operations which prize minimal losses, a specific setting has been engineered, so as to control groundspeed to ensure losses do not exceed a pre-determined limit.

The 750mm main drum can maintain optimal threshing action at low speed to reduce vibrations and to protect the drive line. The high inertia drum is perfect when operating in damp conditions or in uneven crops. The integrated rasp bars rub against the concave to further enhance separation.

New Holland invented the rotary separator to offer farmers tailored threshing performance. The Multi- Thresh™ system enables operators to regulate the distance between the rotary separator and the concave. The shorter the distance, the more vigorous the rubbing for more aggressive separation. For long unbroken straw, the distance is increased. The integrated paddles force more grain through the concaves and deliver numerous direction changes to ensure every last valuable grain makes it into the tank. Furthermore, this system can now be controlled from the comfort of the cab.

Reducing the rebuilding time from 6 hours to 20 minutes, when switching between crops Various concave section combinations can be fitted to match a variety of crop types No need to remove the straw elevator

The straw flow beater completes the forced separation and directs the crop onto the strawwalkers to complete the separation process.

For those operations for which reduced grain damage in corn is paramount, the optional low speed drum kit enables operators to reduce the drum speed for an even lower instance of cracked grain.

The beater’s serrated teeth prevent mats forming in the crop to improve crop flow in all conditions, especially when harvesting marginal crops at high moisture levels.

Standard on all CX combines Opti-Speed™ auto adaptive variable speed strawwalkers deliver up to a 10% productivity improvement Choose wheat, maize, rapeseed or rice setting, your CX7 and CX8 will automatically regulate strawwalker speed in relation to the crop selected When travelling uphill strawwalker speed reduces to keep every grain inside the machine On downward gradients, the speed is increased to prevent clogging and inefficient separation The system continually dialogues with the Opti-Fan™ and Opti-Clean™ systems to fine tune the strawwalker speed from 170- 240rpm

New Holland has developed the Ultra-Flow™ staggered drum option to enhance overall threshing performance. 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 improved by up to 15% and this is delivered within an even more durable package. 

Opti-Fan™ system compensates for the gravitational effects on crop material Select the desired fan speed on flat ground and the system automatically adjusts it when going up or downhill to maintain cleaning performance When travelling on upward slopes the fan slows down to prevent sieve losses When tackling downhill gradients fan speed increases to prevent thick material build ups on the sieves

The standard fixed-cleaning shoe, only available on six strawwalker models, is perfect for operations which harvest predominantly on flat ground The optional selflevelling cleaning shoe an be regulated from the comfort of the cab The cleaning shoe angle is automatically optimised by up to 17% to neutralise the effects of side slopes and prevent grain banking during headland turns

Opti-Clean™ system optimises the stroke and throwing angles in the cleaning system and improves cleaning capacity by up to 20% The grain pan, pre and top sieves operate independently to optimise the cascade for greater capacity, and the longer sieve stroke and steep throwing angle keep more material airborne, for higher cleaning efficiency The opposing motion of the grain pan and bottom sieve to the pre-sieve and the top sieve, reduces overall machine vibrations and increases operator comfort The sieve and pre-sieve are remotely adjustable, on the go, from the comfort of the cab

Maintaining the aggressiveness of the grain pan steps in difficult crops such as rape seed or maize may require regular cleaning The CX grain pan can be easily removed from the front of the machine

The CX7 and CX8 range’s unique paddle fan design generates the largest volume of air at a constant pressure, which is far superior to competitor alternatives The fan has two dedicated openings to direct a powerful stream of air to both the pre and top sieves for guaranteed cleaning performance

The unloading spout has been completely redesigned, and directs the crop in a forward and outward direction for better distribution and a longer unloading distance, which means taller, higher capacity trailers can be used All CX7 and CX8 models feature a 1.3m optional unloading auger extension to further increase unloading flexibility Unloading speed has increased by 14% which means the largest 12500 litre grain tank can be emptied in under 2 minutes thanks to a 125 litre/second unloading speed The pivoting spout, controlled via the CommandGrip™ multifunction handle, enables operators to precisely direct the crop for uniform trailer filling

For prolonged operation in abrasive crops such as rice, the CX7 and CX8 can be specified with the ‘abrasive option’ The grain elevator, bubble-up auger and unloading auger are manufactured using heavy-duty materials to withstand prolonged operation

New Holland has designed a 910 x 550mm viewing window in the cab You can also keep an eye on the grain tank fill level, which is displayed on the IntelliView™ 12 monitor A grain flap, accessible from the operator’s platform, allows manual sampling

The Multi-Thresh™ system guarantees gentle crop handing, maintaining straw structure and minimising breakages The twin-disc chaff spreader can spread the chaff or direct it onto the ground, under the straw to be baled

The patented twin-disc chaff spreader can spread the chaff across the entire width of the header. The speed of the chaff spreader can be controlled from the cab in response to crop or weather conditions Changing between chopping and swathing is managed at the touch of a button

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