New Holland CR9.90 Elevation vs. John Deere S690 PAMI Results

New Holland commissioned the Prairie Agricultural Machinery Institute (PAMI) to conduct independent combine productivity comparison tests on Model Year 2015 New Holland CR9.90 Elevation and John Deere S690 combines.

PAMI has 40 years of experience testing harvesting equipment in various locations worldwide with a specialty in Western Canadian crops and conditions. The combines were tested in September 2015 in wheat and canola in Saskatchewan. Testing focused on harvesting productivity and fuel consumption efficiency.

Summary of Results:

  • New Holland has a 4% better harvesting productivity in wheat and up to 10% in canola.
  • The CR Elevation combine harvested 9% more grain per gallon of fuel and DEF than Deere S690.
  • There is an incredible difference of 13% gallons of fuel per acre in wheat and a 9% difference in the canola. On a 5,000-acre farm with 2,500 acres of wheat and 2,500 acres of canola, this would translate to a savings of up to $18,000 CAD per year (or approximately $13,000 USD) just by using the New Holland combine — a savings of $3.60 per acre!

Stover Harvest at Kaminski Farms

On Sept. 30th a stover harvest was done at Kaminski Farms in Three Oaks, MI.  Leading the three-year study is Dennis Pennington of Michigan State University and he operated the drone and spliced video to make this film.  New Holland Rochester provided the Cornrower and New Holland NA provided use of the CR6.90 combine for this study.  Dave and Linda Kaminski and their son Aaron deserve a huge ‘THANKS’ for providing help and field opportunity for this effort.  The Kaminski’s raise Angus cattle and will wrap the stover for evaluation later. 

The Cornrower provides dirt and rock free windrows of chopped stover concurrent with the corn grain harvest.  This video clearly shows the opportunity to quickly harvest clean stover as the New Holland round baler was packaging the stover right after the windrows were made, thereby capturing the moisture in the stover for ensiling the material.  With chopping happening in the windrow process this material can easily be used for feed or bedding without further processing.

Results of the MSU effort will benefit all growers of corn as well as end users such as the Kaminskis and we are happy to be able to participate in tis effort.

Combine Clinic 2015 Summary

Combine Clinics held at New Holland Rochester, Rodkey New Holland and New Holland Tri-County the week of Aug. 17th provided over 100 New Holland combine owners who attended information to make the 2015 harvest more profitable. Attendees included folks from New Holland Centerville, New Holland Logansport and New Holland Greentown.

The difficult conditions that the record-setting rains have cause in 2015 were addressed and owners were told what to do about varying moistures, yields and grain conditions. Grain quality matters were stressed. While the twin-rotor combines from New Holland have earned a reputation for providing better quality grain – and we expect that to be amplified this year – proper combine settings are still required to get the best performance owners were told.

A Purdue study on the value of higher grain quality was used to show attendees how a mere 15% improvement in grain quality is worth about $26.00 per acre in 200 bu/acre corn at $3.50/bushel. Attendees were shown how to do an iodine test to check grain quality. “Getting the best from the best” was the theme of the clinics that were provided courtesy of the New Holland Rochester group of dealership.

We appreciate the great turnout at all 3 events, and were glad to hear the positive feedback from attendees on how the information provided at the clinic will be helpful for them during the upcoming harvest.

Congrats Devon Clawson on your new NH CR8080 with SMARTTRAX!

Devon Clawson of Jamestown, IN is the proud owner of the new CR8080 combine  shown here equipped with New Holland’s SMARTTRAX option.  The SMARTTRAX system provides a shorter turning radius (comparable to a combine equipped with single 900X32 tires), smoother ride and about 60% less compaction than dual tires.  Putting a smart traction system under a combine with the cleanest sample gives Devon the best of the best combine performance in the neighborhood.  Congratulations to
Devon on his purchase of the CR8080 with SMARTTRAX!
