LONDON, Dec. 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The American
Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers' (ASABE) 2018 AE50
list has included nine innovative product technologies from Case IH
and New Holland Agriculture, the global agricultural equipment
brands of CNH Industrial N.V. (NYSE: CNHI / MI: CNHI). The AE50
awards honor the year's most innovative designs in engineering
products or systems for the food and agriculture industries.
Companies from around the world submit entries to the annual
competition, of which 50 of the best products are judged by a panel
of international engineering experts as being the best to advance
engineering for the food and agriculture industries.
Case IH has received four 2018 AE50 awards. The In-Cab
Split-Row Lift System for Case IH Early Riser® 2140
Pivot Transport Planter hydraulically lifts split row
units to switch crop types, eliminating manual lifting or lowering
of up to 16 rows. The CVXDrive™ for Case IH Steiger®
and Quadtrac® tractors is the first continuously
variable transmission for an articulated four-wheel drive tractor
and delivers the highest horsepower available on the market: up to
605 at peak. The Nutri-Placer 930 HSLD (High-Speed Low
Disturbance) Fertilizer Applicator can cover over 500 acres in
a day. The Trident 5550 Liquid/Dry Combination Applicator is
the industry's first combination applicator on a true row-crop
chassis and is able to be changed from liquid to dry in under an
hour.
New Holland Agriculture has five innovations named to the top
50. The Dynamic Command™ transmission is an
industry-exclusive for T6 tractors in the 95 to 120 horsepower
segment and enhances productivity with more gears in the working
range. CustomSteer™ is a new variable ratio steering
feature, available on T6 and T7 series tractors, that reduces the
numbers of turns required to achieve lock-to-lock steering. The
IntelliTurn™ end-of-row turning automation raises the bar
for in-field efficiency by executing end-of-row turns on behalf of
the operator in even the most challenging field shapes. It is
offered on T6, T7, T8 and T9 tractors. The Optispread
Plus™ residue management system for New Holland CR
combines provides an improved residue spreading solution to combine
operators, delivering excellent chopping performance and even
spreading of the residue over the width of current and future
combine headers. The Guardian SP310F high clearance
self-propelled front boom sprayer is designed to give operators the
flexibility to spray effectively across all crops and during all
stages of crop growth thanks to its industry-leading crop clearance
of up to 78 inches.
