New Holland's new CX 5000 and CX 6000 combine harvesters: CX First!

The new New Holland range of conventional combine harvesters is here!
The CX 5000 and CX 6000, with their 4 models, have been designed to significantly improve the efficiency and productivity of farms from 200 to 600 hectares.

The key word for this new range: flexibility!

The smart innovation that runs through the whole range is put at farmers' service, specially designed to adapt to their needs, to their working conditions and therefore to all types of crops, from wheat to maize, including specialty crops such as rice, while guaranteeing optimum grain and straw quality.

The entire CX 5000 and CX 6000 range benefits from the ergonomic and technical excellence as well as the distinctive styling that make New Holland's reputation and strength.

New Holland: styling that makes machines easier to use

New Holland has applied its evolving numbering strategy to the CX 5000 and CX 6000 range, which allows customers to immediately gauge the performance and specifications of the machine:

- CX refers to conventional combine harvesters,

- the first digit, 5 or 6, indicates the number of straw walkers,

- the last two digits, 80 or 90, indicate the capacity of the machine.

The distinctive styling of the CX 5000 and CX 6000 is reminiscent of the flagship CX 8000 and CR 9000 Elevation ranges. New Holland's typical styling can be seen in the overall design:

- the one-piece side panels that make daily checks and maintenance easier.

- the rounded design of the range, a New Holland trademark,

- the pivoting steps, which not only reduce the overall width for road transport but also make access easier,

- the horizontal unloading auger and unloading rate make it possible to work with higher-capacity trailers.

These aesthetic improvements are an integral part of the machine's design and offer tangible productivity benefits.

An ideal, ergonomic and efficient driving environment

The CX 5000 and 6000 range features a brand-new cab interior. The armrest has been completely redesigned to fit the smaller dimensions of the range, but the operating logic remains identical to the top-of-the-range CX 8000 and CR 9000 Elevation machines.

The most frequently used controls are grouped to the operator's right, ergonomically and with an emphasis on intuitiveness. The Command GripTM multifunction handle houses all the header, unloading and forward travel controls.

The IntelliViewTM III touchscreen monitor, mounted on the armrest, lets the operator see at a glance all the information on the machine's operating parameters and quickly engage the guidance system.

Powerful Tier 4A compliant engines

The new CX 5000 and CX 6000 range delivers a maximum power of 250 to 335 ch, making it possible to tackle the most demanding conditions and crops. The CX 6090 model is fitted with a Cursor 9 engine, while the other three models use a 6,7-litre Nef engine.

The new engines of the CX 5000 and 6000 feature SCR ECOBlue™ technology. The SCR ECOBlue™ (Selective Catalytic Reduction) system meets the new Tier 4A standards while offering outstanding performance benefits.

AdBlue, a fundamental element of the SCR ECOBlue™ system, is a solution injected into the after-treatment system to neutralise the harmful emissions generated during combustion. It converts them into water and nitrogen, two substances found naturally in the environment.

The range's AdBlue system has been designed to minimise the operator's workload; the 100-litre tank only needs to be filled every second time the diesel tank is refuelled, hence its convenient location near the fuel tank.

Operators are kept informed of AdBlue levels at all times by the displays in the cab.

Flexibility in harvesting and threshing

To reduce the downtime needed to switch from one crop to another, New Holland has developed sectional concaves. Previously, it took four hours to change the concave.

On the new CX, it takes only 20 minutes and one person can do it without help! The result: less time lost for improved output.

The CX 5000 and 6000 range benefits from New Holland's ?four threshing elements? solution, for impeccable grain and straw quality. The standard beater and straw chopper deliver the traditional quality and performance of New Holland.

The optional rotary separator is ideal for harvesting in difficult conditions and for grain with a higher moisture content.

The flow controller coupled to the rotary separator speeds up the transfer of grain onto the straw walkers, improving separation performance and increasing straw throughput.

For operations that require different straw qualities, New Holland has developed the Opti-ThreshTM system. The aggressiveness of the rear of the concave is adjustable for a more or less intense threshing action, improving grain or straw quality as required.

And to change the aggressiveness of the rotary separator according to the type of grain, the CX models feature the Multi-ThreshTM system.

Also worth noting is the SmartSieveTM box, perfect for working on uneven ground. The system automatically changes the intensity of the corrective action on the sieves to maintain throughput on the steepest slopes.

Finally, the Opti-FanTM system makes it possible to adjust the fan speed according to the slope to maximise the action of the cleaning box and thus avoid losses.

With all these solutions, the CX models are ready to meet all the concerns and conditions of different farms.

Top unloading for better productivity

The entire CX 5000 and CX 6000 range benefits from top unloading technology. The system enables ultra-fast unloading at 100 litres/minute, which not only leaves the operator free to concentrate on the harvest but also maintains field performance. The unloading auger pivots through 105° to improve visibility during unloading and reduce losses during unloading.

Side-slope and Hillside versions for extreme conditions

Steep slopes generally mean reduced performance and increased losses. To ?defy gravity?, New Holland has developed the Side-slope and Hillside versions for operators who work mainly on side slopes.

The Side-slope option, available on the CX 5090 and CX 6090 models, offers front levelling of up to 18% to ensure an even distribution of grain on the preparation pan, as well as efficient cleaning and traction.

The Hillside version is perfectly suited to extreme operations, offering level correction on side slopes of up to 38%, uphill up to 30% and downhill up to 10%.

This option, exclusive to the CX 5090 model, also features a high-capacity hydrostatic transmission to maintain forward speed on extreme slopes and improved, wider brakes for better stopping performance.

?The smart innovations in our CX 5000 and CX 6000 conventional combine harvesters will significantly increase harvest quality and the productivity of operators used to the mid-range.? (Hedley Cooper, Combine Product Manager)

With this new range, New Holland is playing the card of modernised tradition, offering efficient solutions and greater harvest automation so that each machine can adapt to every farm and all working conditions, delivering maximum quality and yield.

Model Number of straw walkers Maximum harvesting power kW/hp Grain tank capacity

CX 5080 S 5 190/258 7000 L

CX 5090 S/L/H 5 220/300 8000 L

CX 6080 S 6 220/300 8000 L

CX 6090 S/L 6 245/333 9300 L

Precision farming for quality and yield

New Holland knows that, to get the best price for grain, it must be harvested when fully ripe. The CX 5000 and 6000 have therefore been fitted with a real-time moisture sensor with display on the IntelliViewTM III monitor.

In parallel, the instantaneous yield sensor measures the mass of grain harvested. This information can be downloaded and used in combination with New Holland's precision farming software.

To improve driving comfort and optimise performance, the SmartSteerTM laser auto-guidance system makes its appearance on this range of machines.
