CR

New Holland knows that the harvesting process starts with the crop. How it enters the machine will determine the quality of the harvest, therefore, a vast range of grain headers to suit every type of crop and farm have been developed and built in-house to suit your needs. Headers are available in widths ranging from 6.10 - 12.50 metres and in a wide range of configurations that can be tailored to match your requirements.

New Holland harvesting experts have developed a wide range of maize headers which are the perfect match for the CR range. Available in 8 and 12 row configurations; they have been engineered by design to offer robust productive performance in all harvesting conditions. Like combine. Like header.

The CR’s feeding system has been significantly upgraded to enhance its already highly efficient operation. The feeder now features four chains with connecting slats on the, CR9080 model for improved crop flow and even smoother feeding into the Twin Rotors. The CR range benefits from an improved header lift capacity for ultimate productivity when working with the even very largest headers, and the Advanced Stone Protection system or the optional, Dynamic Feed Roll™ system which both ensure the threshing mechanism is always fully protected.

New Holland invented the Twin Rotor™ concept over 35 years ago, and has been refining and evolving this technology for almost four decades to offer farmers ever increasing capacity and improved grain and straw quality. New Holland also knows that no two farms are alike, so two different types and sizes of rotor have been developed to suit farmer’ individual needs. The 17” standard rotors are fitted to the CR8070 model, and the heavy duty, high capacity 22” design are fitted to the CR9080 model. A bespoke machine for top drawer quality and performance.

Best-in-class grain quality. The Industry’s cleanest grain sample. It must be the CR. Don’t just take our work for it: in comparative tests carried out to evaluate the grain sample of different harvesting concepts, Twin Rotor™ technology beat the competition hands down. The result: a minuscule 0.1% broken grain. How? Thanks to the unique Twin Rotor™ concept which ensures in-line crop flow for the gentlest grain handling. Grain quality is further enhanced by award winning features including the Opti-Clean™ and Opti-Fan™ systems.

The CR grain tank has been increased to perfectly match its high capacity. The length of the unloading auger has also been enlarged to match the performance of the new generation of CR combines and modern day headers. Quite simply, New Holland has left no stone unturned in the quest to improve the CR range’s output and your productivity.

The CR range offers complete and comprehensive residue management options that can be tailored for different types of crop and cultivation methods. To switch between chopping and rowing you simply change the position of the dedicated ergonomic lever. No need for tools. No need to change components. Simple. Fast. Typically New Holland.

The all-new SmartTrax™ system has been engineered by design to offer 57% reduced ground pressure thanks to its triangle stucture for improved traction and reduced compaction. The factory fitted SmartTrax also feature an integrated rubber block suspension system which significantly reduces vibration when compared to a traditional fixed track system, for guaranteed comfort during even the longest harvesting days and in road transport situations.

The Harvest Suite cab’s wide curved window offers a perfect view of the entire header and unloading spout. Optional electric mirrors mean you can see in all directions, and they can be easily positioned from the comfort of the cab. Up to three viewing cameras can be managed through the new IntelliView™ IV monitor. When unloading, reversing or checking the grain tank level, they are the eyes in the back of your head.

Intelligent and intuitive automation saves times and enhances harvesting performance. The multifunction lever is your right hand harvesting man. All key machine and header parameters can be controlled, including header height, reel position and unloading engagement. The right hand console contains less frequently used functions, which are laid out in an ergonomic and logical manner. Machine functions can be analysed at a glance courtesy of the colour IntelliView™ IV monitor.

A full range of guidance solutions are available from New Holland and include manual and assisted guidance. You can even specify your CR combine with fully integrated IntelliSteer® auto guidance direct from the factory to start saving money from your first run. SmartSteer™ crop edge guidance and automatic row guidance for maize headers are just some of the numerous options which are designed to increase your harvesting efficiency and productivity.

The CR range of combines have been engineered by design with precision farming features right at its very heart. Yield information is continually updated and displayed on the IntelliView™ IV monitor. This data can be stored, downloaded and analysed with precision farming software to establish accurate yields maps. These can be used to fine tune inputs to maximise yields and minimise input costs.

New Holland offers a variety of precision farming packages which will enable you to tailor your inputs to reduce your costs and increase your yields. This information is recorded in real time by your machine during working, and it is simply and efficiently transferred for analysis by the computer package from the IntelliView™ IV monitor via the complementary 4GB USB stick, which is large enough to record data from over 600 - 700 harvesting hectares.

The flagship CR models are built in Zedelgem, Belgium, home to New Holland’s global Centre of Harvesting Excellence. It is here, over 100 years ago, that Leon Claeys built his very first threshing machine that revolutionised the way farmers harvested. Zedelgem is synonymous with harvesting firsts, in 1952 it produced the first European self-propelled combine harvester. Today, yellow blooded engineers are committed to developing the next generation of harvesting products. The sophisticated product development process and the extensive knowledge of a dedicated workforce of a World Class Manufacturing facility ensure the CR range, together with all flagship harvesting products, the CX conventional combines, BB big square balers and FR forage harvester, continue to set the benchmark in harvesting.

The new CR range has been designed to spend more time working and less time in the yard. After all, we all know how precious time in the field is during short harvesting seasons. All service points are easy to access, and super long service intervals mean they will spend more time in their natural environment: the field!

The unique Automatic Stone Protection System (ASP) uses a detection sensor located under the closed lower drum of the straw elevator. When a stone is detected, the full width pivoting door automatically opens and the stone is ejected. This solution requires minimal operator input and ensures an unobstructed flow of the crop from the feeder to the rotors. This enhances grain and straw quality, as well as capacity, not forgetting the automatic protection of the internal feeding elements for extended machine life.
