The CX and CR Everest models deliver unrivalled performance on steep in-field slopes
New Holland’s super conventional CX7.90 and CX8.70, CX combines and its flagship rotary CR 7.90, CR8.80 and CR8.90 combines featuring the Everest levelling system have been engineered to counteract steep in-field slopes and keep the threshing and separation system perfectly level offering high performance in side hills. The CX and CR Everest models compensate lateral slopes of up to 20% to maintain a perfect horizontality of the combine, and optimize the loading of the grain pan and deliver the same outstanding performance as on level ground. The Everest system can also work in combination with a self-levelling shoe to deliver 100% efficiency on slopes of up to 36% and improves combine capacity even in the most demanding conditions. As The cab remains horizontal till 20% the operator can maintain his attention for all day without any tiredness due to the position of the combine in sidehills. The Everest system is totally integrated and do not modify the structure of the base unit. This system can be removed when changing the combine giving a real customer and dealer benefit. In top of all these benefits, the main one is that this system doesn’t require any maintenance attention for long harvest day, season after season, without any issues. This system was developed in close collaboration with I2J Solutions, a French company specialised in providing combines equipments.
