CR10 & CR11

New Holland pioneered the use of longitudinal rotors for threshing and separation back in 1975, with the launch of the TR70 combine. Fifty years later, twin rotors have become the hallmark of almost every high-output combine design. But the originator always holds an ace when it comes to understanding and getting the most from the technology they invented. That’s why New Holland remains a step ahead, and why the new CR10 and CR11 move combine performance into a new category. When it comes to machine design, experience always tells. With twin-rotor combines, we know what works, and why. That’s why we have the output, performance and reliability that can only be earned from a commitment to a combine design that has seen no equal in five decades. This is the twin-rotor combine range – now headed by two new models that take the design to new heights of ability.

To match the combines with the capacity of the new CR10 and CR11, New Holland offers a range of headers that integrate seamlessly with each model to provide fast and smooth intake with exceptionally high workrates at minimal header losses, leaving behind nothing but a clean, precision-cut stubble. Each one features a quick-coupler for fast and easy attachment, saving you precious minutes to help ensure maximum output per day.

Specify the latest FD2 models in working widths from 10.60 - 18.60m, to match the capacity of your combine, the spread of your cropping and the circumstances of your farm. Patented reel movement gently lifts crop towards the knife, while ShatterGuard Reel Positioning sets the reel further back to ensure crop drops onto the header once stems are sliced through by MacDon’s ClearCut™ knife, with its more powerful knife drive and new knife section geometry that provides 25% more cutting surface. All of this means a smooth, close shave, aided by a choice of pointed knife guards or, for challenging conditions, PlugFree™ alternatives. Measuring 127cm front to rear, the belts help swallow big, heavy-straw crops with ease and ensure head-first feeding for up to 20% more capacity than previous models. The FeedMax™ Crop Feeding System allows the auger to be custom-configured for the conditions.

New Holland maize headers are designed to extract the full potential of the massive appetite that the CR10 and CR11 combines have for corn. Offered in sizes of up to 16 rows, they enable operators to maximise productivity and harvesting efficiency. How do they do this? Through design features such as individual row engagement, and shorter points which better follow ground contours and prevent crop ‘run-down’. With gills that direct any loose kernels to the back to the header. And with replaceable wear strips that extend header lifespan, with points that flip up on gas struts to ease cleaning and maintenance.

New Holland CR10 and CR11 combines have the ability to swiftly swallow big volumes of crop from high-capacity headers, thanks to an elevator/feeder house designed to perfectly match their capacity.

New CR10 and CR11 take Twin Rotor technology to the next level. New 600mm-diameter rotors are 3,600mm long, for more crop rotations and greater grain extraction. They are mounted in a wider and longer threshing compartment, for more movement of the crop during its passage through the combine, resulting in rapid grain release and maximum straw protection.

No other combines clean grain like the new CR10 and CR11.

They feature the new Twin Clean™ cleaning shoe, which incorporates multiple features to not only produce a clean sample, but boost throughput and minimise grain loss. The new Twin Clean™ system is fully automated for an ultimate level of adaptation.

In the CR10 and CR11, New Holland design engineers have created combines with unparalleled capacity not just for cutting, threshing and separation, but also for carrying the resulting crop. Bigger grain tanks match the higher combines' productivity to guarantee autonomy between unloading cycles.

The CR10 and CR11 feature a completely new residue management system to match the wider headers they can work with and the higher straw volumes they ingest. However light or dense the crop, these combines will process material finely and redistribute evenly up to 18m wide. At the heart of the system is a new six-row chopper. Equipped with 88 straight knives and 67 remote cab adjustable counter knives, the hood-mounted chopper’s rotor operates at 3,600rpm in the opposite direction to a conventional chopper. Its position and its counter-rotation provide better chopping quality at lower power consumption. In cab chopper load indication informs the operator of the chopper power consumption. Chopper gear choice and chopping/swathing selection can both be specified with manual or remote adjustment.

New Holland CR10 and CR11 combines are powered by the very latest Stage V engines from FPT Industrial. The Cursor engines ensure to take the densest crops and the most challenging hills. A bigger fuel tank minimises refuelling stops and maximises daily productivity.

CR10 and CR11 combines are available with a choice of front axle drives, to match the circumstances of every operation.

To get the most from a combine hour after hour, the operator needs to be in total control and complete comfort. That’s why we’ve created the Harvest Suite™ Ultra cab, a cosseting, calm and quiet environment that puts you at the heart of the machine and gives you a view of your harvest like no other, thanks to a wide curved windscreen which meets the sloping floor edge to provide a clear view of the header auger.

With twin IntelliView™ 12 touchscreen terminals to hand, you can easily monitor combine functions and crop performance with one unit, and steering or yield mapping with the other. It’s also possible to view the feeds from up to three optional viewing cameras on each display, with one prewired to provide a view to the rear when reverse travel is selected. The operator armrest also incorporates a complete set of remote control functions, including those for reversing the rotors and Dynamic Feed Roll™, unloading speed selection and chopper engage/disengagement. In short, you have everything at your fingertips for the complete control of your combine.

While expert operation of a combine is a skill that traditionally takes many years to learn, New Holland technologies can help operators achieve full efficiency and productivity from their machines faster, helping experienced operators maximise output and quality, and inexperienced ones quickly gain confidence.
