London, November 14, 2019
CNH Industrial N.V’s (NYSE: CNHI / MI: CNHI)
global agricultural brands Case IH, New Holland, and premium
European tractor brand STEYR, were awarded ‘Machine of the Year
2020’ titles for innovative machinery and technology by a jury of
agricultural journalists at this year’s edition of Agritechnica,
the world’s largest agricultural trade show currently underway in
Hannover, Germany.
Case IH won the coveted title in the Hay and
Forage category with its LB436 HD baler, which was recognized for
its new design enabling farmers and contractors to create denser
bales, thereby reducing handling requirements and transport costs.
Its innovative twine knotter system, TwinePro, is designed to boost
productivity while eliminating twin off cuts, ensuring zero forage
contamination. This type of loop knot increases knot strength by up
to 30%, for greater baling efficiency and productivity.
‘Machine of the Year’ was also awarded to New
Holland’s BigBaler 1290 High Density, which was recognised for its
technical innovation and the benefits it brings to customers, with
selection criteria focusing on innovative features, performance,
productivity, cost of operation, ease of use and operator comfort.
The baler produces up to 22% denser bales when compared to a
conventional large square baler, significantly increasing transport
and bale handling efficiency. The model features award winning
SmartShift™ gearbox technology with two-speed start-up to
deliver smoother baler engagement, thereby protecting the tractor
driveline.
In the electronics category, DataConnect won
‘Machine of the Year’ for the agreement recently entered into
between Case IH, STEYR, New Holland, CLAAS, John Deere and
365FarmNet, which aims to enable global mixed-fleet customers to
view their machine data in the platform of their choice. The
participating brands have all agreed to enable cloud-to-cloud
exchange of machine information (machine location, speed, fuel
level, working status) in their respective telematics
platforms.
