Farm equipment manufacturer and CNH Industrial brand New Holland has won two 2021 AE50 innovation awards for its BigBaler 340 High Density large square baler and Crossover Harvesting system with TripleClean cleaning system used in CH and TX harvesters. The American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) sponsors the AE50 awards, which spotlight engineering developments in new products and systems that enhance farmers’ efficiency, quality, and safety while also helping increase profits.

Collecting Awards

New Holland Agriculture President Carlo Lambro says the BigBaler 340 High Density and Crossover Harvesting are perfect examples of how New Holland’s legacy of innovations help benefit its customers. “The BigBaler High Density has won numerous awards around the world for its unique features, and the recently launched CH and TX Crossover Harvesting are setting a new benchmark in capacity for mid-range combines,” he says.

The BigBaler 340 High Density’s honors include machine of the year awards in Europe and a 2019 Silver Medal in the Agritechnica Innovation Awards for its SmartShift two-speed gearbox. New Holland says the latter improves productivity, operator comfort, and tractor driveline protection. The baler also features the company’s Loop Master knotting technology that provides roughly 25% improved tensile strength, a hydraulic axle suspension system, and the five-bar MaxiSweep pickup. The baler also notably produces bales with up to 22% higher density than competing large square balers, New Holland says.

Harvest Smarter

The Crossover Harvesting system brings together conventional drum threshing with New Holland’s Twin Rotor separation technology, along with a TripleClean cleaning shoe. New Holland says the system enables midrange combines to provide the capacity of a traditional rotary machine and straw quality typical of a pure conventional system. The system can efficiently harvest soybeans, corn, rice, cereals, and rapeseed.
