If we could make sense of the new precision ag tool from New Holland, we’d note that the IntelliSense is a real intelligent piece of technology specific to the large square baler industry. The first such technology of its kind, the IntelliSense Bale Automation pushes the boundaries of baling innovation while—and this is key—providing an automatic steering system that keeps the baling tech where it’s supposed to go to provide the quickest path to create a bale. Farms.com Precision Ag Digital Digest talked with Brad Littlefield, the Precision Marketing Manager, Dairy and Livestock, for New Holland about what makes the IntelliSense system so special. “The square balers offer a combination of two things,” explained Littlefield. “The first is the LiDAR used in our SmartSteer swath guidance system; and the second is the IntelliCruise II system that controls the speed of the tractor as it responds to the terrain around it to provide the optimal performance to the operator.” Don’t call it autonomous, because Littlefield said that the tractor driver is still required even though the LiDAR provides autosteering for precise navigation of the tractor and baler along the windrow. 20 IT’S HIP TO BE SQUARE The IntelliSense Bale Automation from New Holland revolutionizes large square baler industry with fuel and time savings ANDREW JOSEPH FARMS.COM
