12 November 2013 The T8 Auto Command™ tractor wins the “Maschine des Jahres 2014 - Machine of the Year 2014” award, a great achievement for New Holland Agriculture at Agritechnica Show The New Holland’s new T8 Auto Command™ tractor was recognized with the “Maschine des Jahres 2014 - Machine of the Year 2014” award by a committee of journalists from Europe’s pre-eminent machinery publications. The award aims to pick out the models for market distribution, in which a wealth of technological innovations will signify immediate practical benefits for farmers. It has been announced at Agritechnica the most important European show for agricultural machinery and equipment, in Hannover, Germany. “This new tractor with its stepless Auto Command™ transmission, a longer wheelbase and even more power on tap, is set to improve its already impressive all-round performance and it complements the existing PowerShift™ model range.” as explained by Luca Mainardi, Head of Tractor and Telehandler Product Management. The judges, a panel of leading farm

machinery journalists from across Europe, assessed the T8.420 Auto Command™ as being able to offer ultimate in-field performance in high speed cultivation tasks, ideal for large scale cash crop farmers, hay and forage contractors together with large dairies and transport intensive operations. “This award testifies the hard work and dedication of all those involved in the development of the T8 Auto Command™.” stated Carlo Lambro, Brand President New Holland Agriculture. “This important industry award is a great recognition of the innovative approach we take to product development and the benefits this has for our customers and moreover of our commitment to developing state of the art technology, which improves the efficiency, productivity and sustainability of the world’s farmers.” The six model T8 Series line-up, with outputs ranging from 273 hp to 419 hp, is powered by efficient ECOBlue™ SCR Cursor 9 engines, developed in collaboration with FPT Industrial, and delivering Tier 4A emissions compliance. New Holland has tailored its Auto Command™ transmission for the T8 range to perfectly match its dimensions and usage profile. The Auto Command™ transmission uses intuitive force-

based logic and is controlled via the ergonomic CommandGrip™ handle, identical to that found on T7 Auto Command™ models. “2013 will be a memorable year for New Holland: this great award, the Agritechnica Silver medals for combine harvester innovations: the unique-in-the- industry Opti-Speed™ straw-walker and the Cornrower header for Combines; the Sitevi recognition for Opti-Grape™ technology on Grape harvester, and finally the Agribex awards: the gold one for Dual Stream Header and the silver one, again for Opti-Speed™; all of this states New Holland’s intense commitment in innovation and improving farming technology.“ concluded Carlo Lambro. New Holland Agriculture’s reputation is built on the success of our customers, cash crop producers, livestock farmers, contractors, vineyards and groundscare professionals. They can count on the widest offering of innovative products and services: a full line of equipment, from tractors to harvesting, material handling equipment, complemented by tailored financial services from a specialist in agriculture.

Precision Land Management

Tractors and Combines have changed a lot over the years. One of the main changes is Precision Land Management (PLM), known to most as GPS guidance. In a challenging & competitive world precision farming has become a necessity. With costs of fuel, seeds, fertilizer and labour continuing to rise, precision farming is extremely important as it will save you money. Precision farming should be accessible for all and this is the aim of New Holland Precision Land Management. An aim accomplished through the widest range of high quality and precision tools and systems, all featuring intuitive user-friendly interfaces, you can

confidently choose from. Through a range of tractors and harvesting equipment featuring fully integrated

solutions, to let you step up your productivity while reducing your costs from day one.

than adequate for car navigation systems but not accurate enough for vehicle guidance in agricultural applications, where we need Pass-to- Pass and Year-to-Year accuracy and repeatability. Pass-To-Pass Accuracy This measures the relative accuracy over a 15 minute interval. This is usually thought of as skip/ overlap from one pass to the next when driving swaths. A New Holland receive with pass-to-pass accuracy of +/-2.5cm means you get less than +/-2.5cm skip or overlap, 95% of the time. Year-To-Year Accuracy This is the measure of repeatable accuracy which means that you can drive the same rows a day week, month or even a year later. To summarise this +/-2.5cm year-to-year accuracy means you can drive the same rows next year within +/-2.5cm of this year’s rows, 95% of the time. 13

Ground based GPS receivers, at known locations across the country, receive the same signals. As their absolute location is known, they can calculate the real time position and send a correction signal. Geostationary satellites then return the correction signal
