By then interested farmers and contractors will have decided whether to have their preferred model fitted with the company's Intelliview system – technology that oversees the machine's key operating parameters.

New Holland combine and haytools product manager, Tony Peters, says header drivers have been asked to perform increasingly skilled roles as they strive to achieve maximum grain quality with minimum grain loss.

Its Intelliview system puts a wealth of harvesting experience at the disposal of the operator by automatically monitoring output and correcting settings at the touch of a button.

As a result, this allows less-experienced operators to maximise their performance since vital pre-set functions like fan speed and sieve openings have been factored in to be continuously monitored and displayed - for comparative purposes.

Should operation fall outside these preset limits, Mr Peters says the operator simply presses the Automatic Crop Settings 'Help' button on an IntelliView monitor, ready for the system to recommend changes to the header's setup.

"The operator can choose to accept or cancel the recommendation and, if accepted, the combine will automatically change the necessary settings," he said.

Grain loss from the separation and cleaning areas, as well as the returns volume are monitored.

This is further enhanced by monitoring the amount of cracked grain or material other than grain, should the header be equipped with New Holland's Grain Cam system.

Once the parameters are set by an experienced combine operator, the machine will not need to be regularly checked, according to Mr Peters.

New Holland says in contrast to other control systems, its Intelligent User Interface is the only system available that actively suggests and implements necessary adjustments.
