Industry-First Relative Yield Mapping Technology in Windrowers
The new Case IH WD6 series windrower features a first-of-its-kind Relative Yield Mapping technology. Producers can now view a map of relative in-field yield variations while harvesting. This unlocked data is seamlessly viewable through Case IH FieldOps™, providing actionable agronomic insights for year-over-year optimization. With Connectivity Included*, producers can connect to FieldOps and access yield-specific data with no annual subscription costs.
The WD6 series windrower also helps producers work more efficiently by combining industry-leading speeds of up to 20 mph in-field and 30 mph in-transport, the widest available disc head and a boost in horsepower to cover more acres per day. Designed with a remarkably simple operator experience, it introduces a new active hydraulic system that automatically maintains pressure for more consistent ground pressure and superior cut quality.
“We are excited to offer this industry-first technology to the WD6 series windrower for our customers,” said Ryan Kau, customer segment lead at Case IH. “This technology, along with the upgrades to speed and the new active flotation system, allows our customers to unlock the next level of productivity, insights and superior cut quality to boost profit potential.”
