New Holland expands the harvest offering of the CSX7000 combine harvester range

Launched in September 2006, the CSX7000 combine harvesters have proven to be the preferred choice of mixed-farming operations seeking the best of technology and high capacity on an affordable budget.
Today, the CS and CSX series are merging to form a completely new and extended range: a new model, the CSX7050, completes the offering of 5-walker machines.

For the 2009 season, New Holland is launching the new CSX7000 models and, at the same time, the manufacturer is merging the CS6000 range into this new CSX7000 range.

The result: a more complete and competitive range, thanks to the many possible configurations specially designed for European farmers seeking the lowest operating costs, for all crops and in all conditions.

A combine harvester for every application
Entirely designed and built in Zedelgem, New Holland's Centre of Excellence for harvesting equipment, the new CSX7000 combine harvester range comprises 5 models: 3 with 5 walkers and 2 with 6 walkers.

Side-levelling and Hillside versions are also available for difficult terrain. Engine power ranges from 242 ch (178 kW) to 333 ch (245 kW).

All CSX models can be fitted with the Opti-Thresh threshing system and Smart Sieve™ cleaning. The same approach to versatility and choice applies to the headers: High Capacity, Extra Capacity and Varifeed up to 7,32 m are available, as well as corn headers with 5, 6 and 8 rows.

The new CSX range:
• CSX7040: a conventional combine harvester, it succeeds the CS6050.

• CSX7050 is a new machine offered in 3 versions

o CSX7050: A conventional 5-walker machine fitted with a NEF engine of 258 ch (190 kW), strategically positioned in the middle of the range.

o CSX7050L: a combine harvester with a side-levelling system that keeps the machine level on side slopes of up to 18 %, to the left as well as to the right. This model succeeds the CS6060L.

o CSX7050H: a combine harvester fitted with the ?Hillside? levelling system. This model is offered in two versions: narrow (3,5 m overall width) and wide (4 m). The levelling system compensates for side slopes of up to 38 % (32 % for the narrow version), 30 % uphill and 10 % downhill.

• CSX7060: a conventional model (succeeds the CSX7060) and the CSX7060L is offered with side-slope correction.

• CSX7070: a conventional machine (successor to the CS6080)

• CSX7080: a conventional combine harvester (succeeds the CS6090) complemented by the Side-levelling version CSX7080L.

More power
All CSX7000 combine harvesters are equipped with a latest-generation New Holland Tier III engine. The CSX7040, CSX7050 and CSX7070 are powered by a 6,7-litre NEF engine with common rail injection for maximum efficiency.

The CSX7060 and CSX7080 feature an Iveco Cursor 9 engine with a displacement of 8,7 litres.

Also equipped with common rail injection technology, these units deliver the additional power that ensures consistent productivity in difficult seasons.

In addition, direct drive transmissions allow the CSX7000 range to operate with minimum drive losses.

The entire range can run on 100 % biodiesel, further proof of the brand's commitment to renewable energy.

High-capacity threshing system
All CSX 7000 models benefit from four-element threshing technology and Smart Sieve™ cleaning technology. The wide range of headers gives them higher performance and capacity than other machines in their class.

The four-element technology with Opti-Thresh™ concave, rotary beater and separator increases the separation action and the rubbing surface. The flow regulator guides the crop efficiently towards the walkers, thus maximising the amount of material that can pass through the system, even with damp, long straw.

Extremely flexible, the system can be adapted to all harvesting conditions without compromising grain and straw quality.

The Smart Sieve™ cleaning system delivers grain cleanliness normally associated with high-end machines. This patented system compensates for the effects of side slopes of up to 25% on both sides.

Levelling of the sieves, combined with the effect of lateral shaking towards the higher side, prevents grain from accumulating unevenly.

The airflow thus passes through the crop in a balanced way for optimum cleaning.

New Holland, new comfort
New Holland CSX7000 combine harvesters also benefit from a whole range of new equipment contributing to the operator's comfort, safety and productivity:

• Remote sieve adjustment. Standard on the CSX7060 and CSX7080 and optional on the other models, this system allows the operator to adjust the upper and lower sieves from the cab using the IntelliView II colour display or from the right rear of the machine.

• Pivoting ladder. The ladder pivots to reduce the overall width of the machine when travelling or manoeuvring.

• Electric cool box. An electric cool box running on 12 V as well as 220 V allows the operator to take it home to keep food permanently chilled.

• Yield mapping system. The factory-fitted Ceres 8000i monitor is a yield and moisture sensor combined with the DGPS antenna, which allows the operator to create a map of the field and use this information for variable-rate input application.

• In-cab printer. Primarily intended for contractors who wish to give their customers a job report.

With this new offering, New Holland strengthens its position in mid-range harvesting equipment combining performance and optimal operating costs.
