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.

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

in the vibration load results. No additional from any manufacturer. This technology, the health and performance of the tractor
