MYNEWHOLLAND App
The MYNEWHOLLAND app is the first app you should download when you purchase New Holland equipment. It is the most essential app for all owners, providing some of the most basic information that’s relevant to you, as well as some other great features that can help make things easier on your farm.
You can access things like videos, manuals, and special deals that are tailored to the equipment you own. You’ll also have access to the New Holland Customer Centre, which connects you to both the New Holland service team and your local New Holland dealer to help resolve any problems you’ve run into. Use the telematics data to monitor your equipment, even when you’re not in the field, and start your subscription to your Precision Land Management devices through this app. If you only download one app from the New Holland collection, choose this one.
The New Holland® Weather Forecast App
Then again, you should also take a look at everything else New Holland offers, like the Weather Forecast app. Odds are, you already have a weather app on your phone. People from all walks of life use this information to plan their days, but it can be particularly important to farmers when you need to know when a dry spell could end or when the rains will stop or if the weather’s about to get nasty.
Your local news station can provide you with some of the most basic information, but the New Holland Weather Forecast app can provide you with so much more. You can get evapotranspiration information, as well as almanac data to compare the weather of previous years. But the app takes things one step further by also offering the latest news on farming and agriculture, as well as directions to the nearest New Holland dealership.
The New Holland® Grain Loss Calculator
Of course, one of the biggest concerns on your farm is yield. Poor yield means dollars lost, and the last place you want to hurt this number is during the harvesting process. That’s why New Holland equipment constantly looks for ways to improve their equipment, and also has provided the New Holland Grain Loss Calculator.
It’s all pretty easy. Start by inputting some basic information about your harvesting equipment, like the brand, header type, and cleaning shoe width.
Then, indicate the type of crop your harvesting. Choose from more than 30 different crops and their corresponding rates.
Finally, choose a section of land that you’ve already harvested and count the number of kernels on the ground. Input this number and let the app do the rest.
The number you’ll see is the estimated grain loss in kilograms per hectare. If you’re not loving what you see, make the right adjustments to your equipment. Do this as often as you need to ensure you’re maximizing uptime and improving yield.
The right apps and the right equipment can help improve your operation’s performance, along with other great tools that make farming easier and more productive.
