New Holland Wins Four
Awards For Innovations
NEW HOLLAND (Lancaster
Co.) New Holland North
America captured four of the
prestigious Agricultural
Engineering 50 (AE)
Recognition Awards for 1998.
The awards are given by
ASAE - the society for engineer
ing in agricultural, food and bio
logical systems.
New Holland developed four
of the year’s most innovative
designs in engineering products
or systems for the food and agri
culture industries: the 1431
Discbine®, the HW34O Self-
Propelled Discbine® Disc
Mower-Conditioner, the 1412
Discbine® Disco Mower, and the
line of TNF Narrow Tractor.
Companies from around the
world submit entries to the
annual AESO competition and
up to 50 of the best products are
chosen by a" panel of national
engineering experts for the food
and agriculture industries.
New Holland’s three award
winning haytool products are all
rounded front windshield and 73
square feet of total glass area
provide some of the best visibili
ty in the industry, according to
Case.
Comfort and convenience are
built in with a full range tilt
steering column with floating
console, multi-function propul
sion lever and an in-cab swath
control option. A trainer’s seat,
digital readout monitor and
speedometer, and AM/FM
Weatherband radio are standard
features on the 8880 windrower.
Some of these features are
optional on the two 8860 models.
The improvements do not end
with the cab. The extra large
23.1x26 front drive tires on the
8880 windrower add to the com
fort of driving in its deluxe cab
The chassis offers superb styling
and easy serviceability with a
rear tilt hood design providing
access to the engine compart
ment. The fuel tank in all mod
els is positioned at the rear of
the machine, allowing easier
access for fueling and excellent
rear stability. The tank also is
larger a full 30 gallons more
than the previous model for the
8880 SP windrower enough to
work all day
In the field, Case IH SP
wmdrowers have superior
ground clearance, making them
easy to drive over large, fluffy
windrows without damaging
their shape. On-the-go hydraulic
header flotation allows the oper
ator to easily adapt to changing
crop and ground conditions, and
use of hydraulics significantly
reduces noise levels.
“Additionally, the 8860 HP
windrower allows the operator
to tilt either hay or draper head
ers with a standard hydraulic
top centerlink to pick up downed
crop on-the-go, saving both time
and profits,” noted Dabich.

design.
The New Holland HW34O
self-propelled disc mower-condi

Speedrower® windrower
dependability with the high

yield crops quickly.
The new Model 1412 New
Holland Discbine® features a
oail-type conditioner for more
vigorous conditioning and faster
curing in grass hay crops.

ty using the best in large-tractor
technology.
Hoober, Inc., with locations at Intercourse, McAlistervllle, and Middletown, DE, held
a field day Thursday at the Glen Engle Farm, Cochranville. According to Larry Herr,
sales manager, the event was staged to show in operation, the size tractors, combines
and tillage equipment that are applicable to our eastern farm size and farm practices.
The rain overnight not only settled the dust but held up bean harvest at home, so more
than 200 farmers attended the all-day event. Lunch was served. In the photo are from
