In a world of constant innovation and improvement, New Holland has set its own standard with its Twin RotorTM technology, which has left its mark on the agricultural industry for years. At its core is the FPT Industrial Cursor 8.7 litre engine, delivering a powerful 300 kW. This engine, in combination with New Holland's forward-thinking technologies like IntelliSteer® automatic steering, enables the CR 7.90 to operate precisely, even as the hours grow long. And with the addition of the new, optional Dynamic Feed RollTM, capacity has been improved by up to 15%, all without compromising grain quality.

 

The centrepiece of this harvester's operation, however, is the Twin RotorTM technology. More than 35 years ago, New Holland introduced this breakthrough technology, which fundamentally changed the way farmers harvest. The Twin RotorTM system is designed to provide a gentle, multi-return action that ensures outstanding grain and straw quality.

 

The success of this system lies in its unique design. The Twin RotorTM has a large separation surface, offering maximum contact area with the crop, which ensures effective separation and less grain damage. It creates an environment where grain can be separated gently but effectively without compromising quality.

 

But the CR 7.90 is not only known for its power and capacity. It also offers a highly pleasant harvesting experience. The Harvest SuiteTM Ultra cabin is designed to offer operators an unparalleled view and a quiet, comfortable working environment. It includes an IntelliviewTM IV color touch screen monitor for intuitive operation and control of all important harvest parameters.

 

This focus on innovative technology, coupled with an unwavering dedication to quality, has placed New Holland's CR 7.90 harvesters in a class of their own. With its proven reliability and its ability to deliver excellent results, even under the most difficult conditions, the CR 7.90 is a powerful contender in any harvester race, even in class 8.

 

Modern agriculture demands highly efficient and reliable machinery. The Case IH 8250, part of the rich heritage of Axial-Flow® combines meets this demand with its single rotor design, highly advanced hydraulic system, and powerful engine.

The Single Rotor Design: From Axial-Flow® Heritage to Innovation

The Case IH 8250 is a proud continuation of the Axial-Flow® heritage that farmers worldwide have trusted for decades. One of the key features that distinguish this series of combines is the single rotor design, a noticeable improvement over traditional designs. 

With its rotor diameter of 762 mm and length of 2,638mm, the Case IH 8250 can handle a wide range of crop conditions, from dry to wet, by operating at speeds between 220 and 1,180 rpm, depending on the crop and conditions. This single rotor design is further reinforced by the Power Plus drive system with reversibility that delivers constant, high torque.

Hydraulic System: Efficiency and Reliability

In keeping with its heritage of innovation, the Case IH 8250 has an advanced hydraulic system that enhances the machine's reliability and ease of maintenance. This system reduces the need for traditional belts, leading to a decrease in maintenance costs.

The hydraulic system is also central to several operational components of the Case IH 8250, including the rotor drive system, the cleaning fan, and the final drive. It also provides the ability to make quick adjustments to machine settings, including the speed of the cleaning fan, which can vary between 300 and 1,150 rpm.

Power Under the Hood: The 12.9 L Engine

The powerful engine of the Case IH 8250 is an integral part of its performance. This 6-cylinder, turbo-charged FPT engine has a capacity of 12.9 liters and delivers an impressive 365 kW at 2000 rpm. This enables the machine to handle heavy crop conditions with ease. In addition, this powerful engine meets the stringent "Stage IV" exhaust emission standards, making it a sustainable and environmentally friendly choice. 

 

The Case IH 8250 Axial-Flow®, with its single rotor design, advanced hydraulic system, and powerful engine, offers an impressive combination of power, efficiency, and reliability.

 

 

The Fendt IDEAL 8 combine harvester represents the culmination of more than five years of strategic planning and an investment of over R8 billion by parent company AGCO, known for established brands such as Massey Ferguson, Fendt, Valtra, and Challenger. This remarkable combine is the result of extensive customer feedback and rigorous design and development processes aimed at meeting the demand for greater capacity, productivity, and advanced automation.

 

The groundbreaking development process of the IDEAL 8 began from the inside out, with the core of the combine—the threshing system— first developed in a laboratory. Following this, the system was implemented in three existing models for a field testing phase that started as early as 2014. The results were impressive enough to manufacture 22 pre-production units that have since worked across various crops and conditions worldwide, thereby placing a machine on the market that can harvest under any circumstances.

 

The IDEAL 8 is equipped with a powerful 12.4-liter MAN engine, delivering 401 kW. The engine includes an AirSense® cooling unit with a 950mm reversible fan and a cooling surface of 2.7 m2. The fan can reverse depending on time and temperature to keep the cooling unit clean, ensuring optimal performance.

 

One of the key features of the IDEAL 8 is its unique helical threshing and separation system. The system ensures that grain is cleanly separated with minimal impact on straw quality and requires significantly less power than other systems, according to AGCO. The potential power savings range from 20 to 50%, contributing to increased output. The IDEAL 8 further boasts an enormous grain tank capacity of 17,100 liters and a fast discharge capacity of 210 liters per second via a 42cm discharge pipe. To ensure clean harvesting at all times, the IDEAL is equipped with 52 acoustic mass sensors. This allows operators to effectively control output and quality while the machine continuously adapts to changing harvest conditions. Built with the farmer in mind, the Fendt IDEAL 8 combine is more than just an innovative piece of machinery. Its robust capabilities, combined with its impressive threshing technology and energy- saving engine design, position it strongly in the combine market.

 

 

The S780 is almost at the top of the John Deere S-Series combines.
Can this harvester defend its crown from 2019? Let's dig a little deeper.

At the heart of the S780 is the muscular John Deere PowerTech PSS engine. With its 13.5 L engine delivering a powerful 353 kW and an extra 37 kW boost at 2100 rpm, this combine certainly has no problem doing the hard work. The S780 is equipped with a rotary separator with a concave area of 1.1 m2 and a separating area of 1.54 m2. The critical part of the threshing process, the rotor, is an impressive 312 cm long and 76.2 cm wide. It operates between 210 and 1000 rpm, meaning you can easily adjust it to suit any harvest conditions.

 

The S780's TriStreamTM rotor, specially designed by John Deere for high performance in particularly large grains, makes the machine very fuel-efficient by using up to 20% less power to move material through the combine. It also has a slightly more pointed front to reduce the "growl" that sometimes happens with thick material and heavy rotor loads, which means more productivity. Thanks to the spiral wings that guide the crop material through the feed and threshing area, there is less hesitation and more efficiency. And the rifling grooves on the rotor elements help the rotors handle large volumes of crop material more effectively, which improves overall threshing performance.

 

The S780's grain handling capability is also not to be underestimated. With a grain tank that can handle up to 14,100 liters, you can carry out large harvest operations without having to empty frequently. You can choose between an unloading pipe of 6.9, 7.9, or 8.7 meters, depending on your needs. The S780 can reach a peak unloading speed of 150 liters per second, which means you don't have to wait long to unload your harvested grain. Combined with the large grain tank, this means longer, uninterrupted harvesting periods which save you more time and effort.

 

 

To sum it all up, the John Deere S780 Combine is a true power machine built to handle the toughest harvest conditions. With its impressive specifications and advanced threshing mechanism, including the smart TriStreamTM rotor, it offers incredible performance and fuel efficiency. This makes the S780 a wise investment for any farming operation. This combine clearly demonstrates John Deere's commitment to innovation, quality, and the continuous improvement of agricultural productivity.
