Higher Capacity Farming
Case IH Windrowers allow you to get to the field faster and muscle through the tough spots, all without sacrificing harvest quality or operator comfort. Transport speeds up to 30 mph and cutting speeds up to 20 mph together with simplified operations and innovations such as Field Cruise and the Triple Windrower Attachment bring peak efficiency to your operation.
What is Field Cruise?
Field Cruise is a new software feature that now is included with all 6-cylinder windrowers equipped with a AFS Pro 700 display. This software allows the operator to choose to run in a fuel-saving Eco mode or a high-productive Power mode. This software includes the ECO Power Mode, Power Cruise Mode and Headland Feature.
ECO Power Mode
The machine continuously monitors engine load and maintains the lowest engine speed to maintain the desired ground speed. When heavier crop is encountered, the engine speed increases to what is needed. If the crop is so heavy that disc speed drops, ground speed will be temporarily lowered.
Power Cruise Mode
In this mode, the engine load is kept consistent by varying the ground speed. In heavy crop, the speed is decreased; in light crop it is increased.
Headland Feature
This mode allows the operator to negotiate headlands more easily. A single button on the multi-function handle can be set to slow the machine and raise the head. Once the operator gets lined up for the next pass, another press of the same button will lower the head and return the machine to the preset speed. The headland sequence can also control a merger attachment (if equipped). This feature can run simultaneously with either ECO Power or Power Cruise modes.
