The new FR Forage Cruiser self-propelled forage harvesters deliver consistently high chop quality and crop processing efficiency. This productivity is further enhanced by the powerful and fuel-efficient performance of the new engines, ranging from 476hp to 775hp and ECOBlue, Hi-eSCR Tier 4B technology, with the top model retaining the 20.1-litre 824hp engine.
The new five-model lineup offers increased operator comfort in the spacious cab, enabling operators to make the most of the forage harvester’s productivity, with its ergonomic layout and intuitive automation.
New Holland has been a common sight in the forager market for over 50 years, with many industry firsts, product specialist Brian Magee said: “The new FR Forage Cruiser builds on this strong heritage to deliver a highly productive, highly efficient package capable of reliably meeting the requirements of large-scale contractors and co-operatives.”
The new FR Forage Cruiser features one of the largest cutter heads in the industry in width and diameter, enabling it to power through crop lumps effortlessly. The proven chevron knife design chops cleanly, quickly and, most importantly, uniformly.
The cutter head is available in five configurations to match the specific chopping requirements: 2x8, 2x10, 2x12, 2x16 and 2x20 knives for a length of cut range of 6mm to 33mm, 5mm to 27mm, 4mm to 22mm, 3m to 16mm, and 2m to 13mm respectively. The Hydroloc feedroll drive system enables the operator to adjust the length of cut to match crop conditions on the go.
The large processing rolls are 30in wide in order to maximise throughput. The Variflow system enables the operator to change effortlessly from grass to corn configuration and back, as well as optimising crop flow in difficult to blow conditions for maximum throughput.
The Forage Cruiser further improves on the spout. It now features full-length replaceable top and side liners, a new hard-faced flipper, stronger flipper cylinder and improved spout base lubrication. Efficiency can be further increased by automating trailer filling with the Intellifill spout guidance system, which guides the crop accurately into the trailer whatever the weather conditions, time of day or type of trailer.
New award-winning engines with ECOBlue, Hi-eSCR Tier 4B technology are tuned for constant high loads and deliver powerful performance when required. All models of the new FR series feature engines developed by FPT Industrial.
The two smaller models run versions of the Cursor 13 engine tuned to the constant high loads experienced when harvesting forage. The FR650 and FR780 mount the new Cursor 16 engine.
New Holland claims both engines deliver powerful performances with low fuel and DEF consumption. This is achieved by tuning the engine specifically to forage harvesting, allowing them to deliver almost instantaneous transient response, making the Forage Cruisers able to handle sudden changes in load without stopping or plugging, therefore increasing capacity up to 5% versus the previous model. Fuel and DEF tank capacities are also increased on all models to provide the autonomy customers need for long harvesting days.
The top model FR850 runs a 20.1-litre Vector engine. All but the largest model feature ECOBlue Hi-eSCR technology to meet Tier 4B emissions standards. As the engine design optimises combustion, particulate formation is very low. The after-treatment system cleans up the NOx created by the high combustion temperatures. The result is powerful performance combined with increased fuel efficiency.
New Holland claims the new ECO mode in the engine management system helps optimise fuel consumption and results in up to 21% fuel savings and fuel efficiency of 0.5 l/t.
