(upbeat music)
- One of customers' favorite parts
of the ZR5-1200 self-propelled baler
is the comfort of the ride.
With the cab placed directly
over the patent-pending
suspension system, operators experience
a smooth, comfortable ride.
There's a number of
other features in the cab
that I'd love to show you today,
so let's hop up in and take a look.
One of the first things
you'll notice about the cab
is the wide range of
visibility that you have.
This is helpful not only when
you're driving down the field
building your bale, but
also when you turn around
on your end rows, getting
ready to head down
that next windrow.
The machine is also
equipped with two cameras:
one that gives visibility to the pickup
as crop enters the machine,
and the other that point
out the back of the machine.
The pickup camera monitors crop
as it comes into the machine
as you're baling, and the rearview camera
monitors the bale as it
comes out of the tailgate.
These two cameras switch
automatically on your display
here in the cab as you're baling.
The rearview camera also
shows the back of the machine
as you drive down the
road, giving you visibility
out the back of your machine.
Now let's talk about
some comfort features.
The driver's seat is fully adjustable
and equipped with heated and cooled seats.
The steering wheel is
also fully adjustable
to adjust to different sizes of operators.
One of the hidden features within the cab
is the cooler located under
the instructional seat.
You can turn it on in
order to chill a space,
or off to utilize the
space for cab storage.
This compartment here also has the ability
to be cooled if desired.
Of course the machine
has a full-functioning
heating and air conditioning system.
But we also gave operators heated mirrors,
as well as the ability
to defrost their windows
in order to get out in
the field even quicker.
Up here you'll find your
Bluetooth-equipped radio,
which means that you can
listen to your favorite music
or make phone calls
while baling the field.
Now let's talk about the control system.
The ZR5 is equipped with a 10-inch
color touchscreen display.
On the display, you'll
find a readout of much
of what's going on while you're baling.
Because the machine is
equipped with scales,
you'll be able to see what
each individual bale weighs,
as well as your total bale weight.
The ZR5 is also equipped
with moisture sensors
which allows you to sense
moisture in your bale
from 8% to 28%.
One feature most people don't know about
is the built-in inclinometer on the ZR5.
This can be especially useful
when baling in hilly terrain.
It helps aid operators with
placing bales on those hills.
Operators are also able
to adjust and observe
lots of different functions
right from the display.
When in transport mode,
this is what you'll see
on your display.
And when baling, the
screen will switch to this.
You'll find your bale counts
for your total machine,
as well as your field here.
The buttons and navigation you'll find
are the field statistics
where it shows you
field numbers as well
as total bale counts.
Being able to automatically
switch your camera,
so the machine is defaulted
to auto where it switches
automatically between your
pickup and your tailgate,
but you can also lock it on your pickup
or your tailgate if desired.
Net load is found here,
as well as net pause,
and net start.
Within your settings icon,
you'll find the calibration
button for calibrating various sensors,
the diagnostic icon for
information on the machine,
but also much of the
information that is relayed
both to and from the
machine through the sensors
is found within the diagnostic page.
Under manual, you'll be
able to apply net manually,
as well as grease the machine
through the auto greaser.
And finally in the advanced icon,
here you'll find settings
for things like automation,
acceleration, deceleration,
speed adjustment,
as well as bale chamber and
pickup speed adjustment.
The joystick on the ZR5
is used for a lot more
than just going forward and reverse.
The automation of ZR5
is an important feature
that many customers find very beneficial.
Within the automation sequence,
the machine will automatically stop, tie,
and dump your bale without
you having to do anything.
The only thing you have to
do after the bale ejects
is to ensure the area is
clear and push the "E" button
to resume the same speed
the machine was going
before it stopped to tie your bale.
The letter D is the cancel button
for the automation sequence.
B and C are pickup lift and lower,
and the letter A is a
counter-steer that allows you
to steer the machine
in place as it rotates
just the rear wheels to keep you in place
and help place bales.
The tailgate lift and lower is found here,
and here you'll find
arrows in order where you
wanna place your bale, to
the right, to the left,
or behind the machine in
that automation sequence.
If you forget any of these functions,
they're on the decal right here
next to the operator station.
The machine uses two
different steering modes:
field mode and a transport mode.
The field mode is utilized when baling
and what this does is the front wheels
are free to caster, where the rear wheels
do all the steering.
This is helpful when you want
that zero-turn capability
in order to increase your
maneuverability in the field.
Any time you transport down the road,
you wanna switch to the
transport steering mode.
What this does is it
links the steering wheel
and actually steers the front
tires in order to give you
that stability going 30-plus
mile an hour down the road.
You switch between these two modes
utilizing this button right here.
If you do ever experience a plug,
the ZR5 is equipped with
a pickup reversal switch
found right next to your joystick.
On the floor of the cab,
you'll find your brake pedal
with it's two-stage design.
The first half of pressing
the pedal slows your machine,
while the second half applies your brakes.
I hope you've enjoyed
some of the highlights
from the ZR5-1200 cab.
