New Holland is awarded Agritechnica 2022 Silver Medal for its residue radars and closed loop spreading automation for combines
The #newholland residue radars provide the combine operator with closed loop residue spreading automation to ensure even residue distribution, resulting in the best soil conditions for the next crop.
New Holland Agriculture has won the Silver Medal for Innovation for its new combine residue automation system, featuring the use of 2D radars and a patented closed loop algorithm. The innovation was selected for the award by the independent expert commission appointed by the DLG German Agricultural Society.
Lars Skjoldager Sorensen, Head of Harvesting Product Management, stated: “We are very pleased that the commission has recognised this innovation, which takes spreading automation to a new level, making our customers’ life easier when combining and their efficiency and profitability. Our combine residue automation system takes away the need for the operator’s constant attention on the residue spreading, continuously fine tuning in changing conditions – they can remain entirely focused on harvesting, knowing that their following crop will thrive in the best conditions.”
New Holland’s new combine residue automation system uses 2D radars to obtain an accurate spreading pattern image of the residue particles behind the combine. They detect the position and speed of the flying residue particles just before they land on the ground to provide the true spreading pattern. This means that, unlike systems that predict a spreading pattern, it does not require any input about wind, moisture or particle characteristics to achieve high accuracy. The system’s innovative solution also includes a patented closed loop algorithm that continuously changes the adjustments of the OptiSpread™ system to ensure even residue coverage behind the combine, consistently throughout the day – with no intervention from the operator.
The even residue distribution achieved with the new combine residue automation system provides the best soil conditions for the following crop. The resulting even seedbed leads to even crop and weed seed emergence, which allows for dedicated and reduce application of fertilizer and herbicides. This in turn will increase the uniformity and yield of the following crop, improving the farmer’s profitability.
The uniformly covered stubble field also has environmental benefits, as it reduces the risk of erosion. It also requires less tillage, reducing ground compaction, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions per hectare of farmland.
The interface of the residue automation system can be user-friendly and intuitive because the radars can see the spreading pattern through the dust cloud, whatever the side wind, moisture or particle characteristics. The operator can concentrate on the harvesting process, with the assurance of full and even residue coverage in changing conditions.
