New Holland Launches "Super Conventional" Combine
New Holland launched its long-rumored new line of "Super Conventional" combines at the recent Western Canada Farm Progress show. The combines feature space-age styling, with distinctive full-length, "gull-wing" side shields which provide quick, easy access for routine maintenance.
  A company spokesman told FARM SHOW that two features stand out on the machine. The first is a threshing, separating, and cleaning system equipped with a new-style rotary separator. Located directly behind the large-diameter threshing cylinder and beater drum, the two-speed rotary separator separates nearly all the grain before it reaches the straw walkers.
   The second feature is a full-width grain pan and self-leveling cleaning shoe that disperses grain over the entire width of the cleaning sieves, even when working on slopes of up to 17 percent. The result is reduced grain loss when working on both level and hilly ground. In fact, the company says these machines have less grain loss than any other conventional combine in their class.
  The straw walker area on both models has been greatly increased to maximize crop flow.
  New Holland mounted the machine's roomy cab on rubber silencer blocks in an attempt to reduce vibration and noise. The cab also features automatic climate control and a screen that monitors ground speed, threshing drum speed, header height, engine rpm's, engine load, straw walker and sieve performance, and other virtually all other aspects of machine performance.
