Description
Learn how to configure threshing and residue-management systems from the cab of a New Holland CR10 or CR11 combine using IntelliView 12. This walkthrough covers Run 3 chopper and rotor gears, Run 5 IntelliSpread controls, automated spread, corn-bypass and windrow procedures, counter knife engagement, and chopper-load monitoring.

Common questions covered in this video:
Where are the chopper and rotor gear controls? In the demonstrated layout, they are user-defined items on Run 3 of the IntelliView 12 display.
What do gear selections 1, 2, and N mean? They represent low or first gear, high or second gear, and neutral.
Can the chopper and rotor be placed in neutral outside the cab? Yes. Neutral-only controls are also available on the lower rear control panel.
How does IntelliSpread control residue width? Rear radar sensors evaluate the spread result, and the system varies left and right chaff-spreader RPM to match the configured header width and compensate for residue condition, moisture, and wind.
Which functions are available only as run-screen items? The video identifies chopper and rotor gear selection, swath-door control, and residue-mode controls as run-screen functions rather than Toolbox settings.
What is the preferred way to configure the complete residue system? Use one of the automated residue-mode procedures so the display coordinates chopper gear, corn-bypass door, swath door, and baffles.
What happens in chop-and-spread mode? The procedure selects chopper second gear and positions the doors so rotor straw is chopped and mixed with cleaning-shoe chaff for spreading.
What happens in corn-bypass mode? The procedure places the chopper in neutral and positions the blockoff and bypass doors so crop material avoids the chopper and goes to the spreaders.
What happens in true windrow mode? The procedure selects chopper first gear and positions the baffles so the chopper conveys material to the windrow board without chopping it.
Why are the counter knife controls grayed out? Remote counter knife adjustment is unavailable with the engine off; with the engine running, engagement can be increased or decreased from the cab.
How can chopper load improve machine setup? Compare the desired cut length with measured chopper load, then adjust the system to maintain residue quality while reducing unnecessary power consumption.
