Guiding theme GLOBAL FARMING – LOCAL RESPONSIBILITY AGRITECHNICA 2019 is presenting solutions for the strategic questions facing the sector and society. This year’s guiding theme “Global Farming – Local Responsibility” is focussing attention on the networking of the global cultivation systems and their regional challenges, and shows how innovations in agricultural machinery and equipment can help to make goals such as climate protection, biodiversity, sustainability and food security achievable.

By itself however, modern technology does not guarantee even fertiliser distribution. A variety of additional factors extensively influences the quality of fertiliser spreading.

TRACTORS, MOBILE LOADING EQUIPMENT, TRANSPORT TECHNOLOGY eAutoPowr gearbox e8WD for 8R large tractors John Deere Walldorf GmbH & Co. KG (Hall 13 Stand C40) Joint development with: JOSKIN S.A., Belgium (Hall 4 Stand C12)

Stepless transmissions with a hydrostatic-mechanical pow- er split have been used in agricultural tractors for over 20 years. Up until now, addi- tional generators for electric drives with a higher power re- quirement were installed on tractors (fan, compressed-air/ air conditioner compressor, etc.) or on implements.

The eAutoPowr gearbox for the new 8R large tractors from John Deere represents the first electro-mechanical power split gearbox in ag- ricultural technology.

TRACTORS, MOBILE LOADING EQUIPMENT, TRANSPORT TECHNOLOGY Baler Control System for the T7 Tractor CNH Industrial Deutschland GmbH NEW HOLLAND (Hall 3 Stand A49c)

Large square balers enable high transport and storage density of plant material, and therefore have achieved major importance in agriculture. However, due to the high in- ertial and pressing forces, big balers induce vibrations that subject the tractor cab to unpleasantly strong pitching movements that put a strain on the driver.

To reduce this vibration load, a baling mode can be selected on the New Holland T7 trac- tor series. This modifies the coordination of the front axle suspension and increases the slope of the limiting curve on the engine map. This then avoids oscillation of the trac- tor-implement combination, the system decouples and a considerable reduction passive system is compatible with balers reduction, means a considerable relief for in the vibration load results. No additional from any manufacturer. This technology, the health and performance of the tractor hardware is required for this purpose. This specifically developed for active vibration driver.

DLG-POWERMIX

The DLG APPROVED PowerMix mark is awarded to tractors that have successfully passed a performance and consumption test to criteria that are laid down in the DLG-PowerMix standards. These call for 14 load profiles that are typical for the day-to-day work of the machine and that form the basis for meas- uring fuel and AdBlue consumption as well as the overall machine perfor- mance and efficiency. The individual load profiles replicate typical field and transport applications both at half load and full load.
