New Holland Wins Three AE50 Awards for Engineering Innovations

July 2, 2008

New Holland Agricultural Equipment has been honored with three prestigious AE50 Awards by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) for the most innovative product ideas to enter the market in 2007.

The AE50 Awards are based on new technology or the advancement of existing technology intended principally for producing, processing, storing, packaging or transporting agricultural, food and other biological products. To be nominated, a product must have the potential for broad impact on its area or industries. Only 50 products are chosen for the award each year.

The following New Holland products were presented with AE50 awards:

--  FR9000 Series self-propelled forage harvesters feature the widest crop
    flow channel in the industry, including the widest feedrolls and the
    largest cutterhead on the market, for superior streamlined crop flow and
    maximum capacity. The patented Variflow™ variable blower provides smooth,
    fast crop flow and big horsepower savings. Innovations include the
    PowerCruise™ engine load management system and a cab with unmatched 324
    degree all-around visibility.
--  BR7090 round balers enable formation of uniform, dense, perfectly
    shaped 5' x 6' round bales in any crop. New bale-forming rolls with
    integral formed ribs provide aggressive crop movement to start cores in
    crops and conditions that were previously too difficult to bale, like dry,
    slick Bermuda grass or short straw. This new design reduces the time
    between initial crop entering the bale chamber and the start of the core
    rotation by 25 percent.
--  The T9050 4WD tractor features a 485-hp turbo compounding engine that
    boosts power and fuel economy while reducing noise. Exhaust gases are
    "recycled" through a second power turbine to generate extra driving torque
    without increasing fuel consumption. The result is increased performance
    and horsepower, with better fuel economy.
