CATALOGUE
Welcome to the New Holland PLM™ Academy Training Catalogue!
In the following pages, you will find a comprehensive offering of training courses designed to provide you with the knowledge and tools to get the most out of your PLM™ investment.
You already know that your New Holland PLM precision farming system is an industry -leading solution, engineered for best-in-class performance and developed with input and feedback from customers around the world. And you have the peace of mind that comes from knowing you have the support of a dedicated team of service technicians and customer support representatives, trained to help you resolve any issue, any time. With a growing network of Precision Farming Certified dealers nationwide, New Holland is uniquely positioned to meet your every precision farming need.
While the PLM system has gained a reputation for being intuitive and easy to understand for even the newcomer to precision ag, we understand that you want to maximize the return on your investment, and this includes learning to use your existing equipment to its full potential. The PLM Academy has been created specifically to help you accomplish this goal, whether you just bought your first PLM system, or you’re an experienced user looking to go even deeper! For example:
• Sure, your PLM™ IntelliSteer system can drive straight lines, but did you know you can
record a straight line (for the field interior) and a curve (your headland passes) at the same time?
• Or did you know your IntelliRate™ system can not only control application rates on
planters, seeders, sprayers, and spreaders, but can also handle automatic section control (for up to 48 sections!) at the same time?
• Did you know your PLM combine yield monitor can estimate the crop volume remaining in the field, so you can make sure you have enough trucks on hand to haul it away? So, as you browse through the course offerings in the following pages, ask yourself: what else could I be doing, if only I knew how?
You may choose to enroll in an online course, where you can learn at your own pace in the privacy and comfort of your living room. Or talk to your local New Holland dealer about scheduling an instructor-led training session, where you’ll benefit from the experience of your dealer’s Precision Farming Specialist and/or expert PLM trainers, in a dynamic and hands-on small-group environment! Whatever training method you choose, you’ll be sure to walk away from the training with new information you can put to good use to maximize the efficiency and potential of your own operation.
We know you have many choices when it comes to precision farming equipment, and we appreciate your investment in New Holland PLM. We hope you’ll find the PLM Academy provides the resources you need to take your agribusiness to the next level, and, as always, we welcome your comments and suggestions as we continue to shape the Academy to meet the ever-evolving needs of today’s precision farmer.
