Features

  • REVOLUTIONISING FORAGE HARVESTING

    In 1961 New Holland revolutionised forage harvesting mechanization: it transformed the highly successful pull type forage harvester into the first self-propelled unit, the now legendary SP818. With this daring move, New Holland dramatically increased in-field performance. In line with this ambitious philosophy, over the last 60 years, New Holland has introduced a vast range of pioneering industry-firsts to improve the profitability of your forage business. Today, the FR Forage Cruiser reflects New Holland’s continuous and unswerving commitment to offer products that meet your most demanding requirements.
  • LEADING FROM THE FRONT

    The old adage ‘you are what you eat’ has never been more relevant than when talking about beef cattle. In order to produce the finest and most highly prized cattle and top quality dairy herds, the highest quality silage with an exact nutritional profile must be fed. In order to deliver this to your customers, you have to harvest at exactly the right moment. You won’t get a second chance. With the FP grass pick-up you’ll get it right first time, every time.

  • PRODUCTIVE MAIZE HARVESTING

    New Holland offers two ranges of the updated Pro Series row independent maize headers, matching any crop condition. Ultimate fleet flexibility is guaranteed as combine maize headers can also be fitted. Whether you’re looking for the most nutritious silage, or the highest energy biomass maize, you’ve found your perfect harvesting partner.

  • THE NEW ULTRAFEED™ GRASS PICK-UP

    With a completely new design, the new UltraFeed™ grass pickup is built to offer the highest possible capacity. The development of this new pick-up based on the customer needs resulted in an optimal crop flow in all conditions in swathed crops. The new UltraFeed™ grass pick-up is a solution for all customer needs.

  • THE ENERGY HARVEST

    When high dry matter, high fibre forage is required, it’s time to turn to whole crop. The nutritional value of whole crop cereal forage is well documented and can significantly enhance milk volume and quality as well as increasing live weight gain in cattle and sheep, whilst boosting your, and your customers’ bottom lines. But it’s not only the livestock sector that values whole crop harvesting, direct cut energy grasses such as miscanthus can be harvested and turned into precious bio-energy. Furthermore, the burgeoning biomass segment has a voracious appetite for short rotation coppice that can be transformed into energy to heat your home.
  • QUALITY AND THROUGHPUT WITHOUT ANY COMPROMISE

    The above is a bold statement, but the FR can more than live up to this title. Industry-leading HydroLoc™ technology ensures constant chop length regardless of crop type and variations in load. But quality is nothing without throughput. The FR’s voracious appetite is never satisfied, and as fast as you can get the crop in it has been processed. The result? The best quality silage that facilitates digestion: both in traditional livestock stomachs and in modern biomass plants.
  • VERSATILE OFFERING TO COVER ANY CUSTOMER NEEDS

    Customers demand ultimate chop quality. The FR Forage Cruiser delivers it thanks to unparalleled processing performance. Contractors and cooperatives want to change between crops in the blink of an eye to minimise downtime. The FR delivers courtesy of industry-leading Variflow™ technology.
  • CONTINUOUS CROP FLOW

    Foraging is not a solo task, constant communication is required between the operator and the harvesting crew to ensure the entire crop is picked up and transferred to the pit. With over 210° of spout movement, unfettered, ‘goldfish bowl’ cab visibility and fully automatic trailer filling, as the crop flows out, the cash will flow in.
  • POWERFUL. RESPECT. FOR YOU. FOR YOUR BUSINESS. FOR THE FUTURE.

    The FR Forage Cruiser range benefits from the productivity enhancing features of FPT Industrial Cursor 13, 16 and V20 engines equipped and Stage V compliant ECOBlue™ HI-eSCR 2 technology. This system maintains the outstanding performance and fuel economy you’ve come to expect of the FR range. Through the Clean Energy Leader strategy, New Holland is committed to making agriculture more efficient while respecting the environment. The proven ECOBlue™ technology uses AdBlue to transform the harmful nitrogen oxides contained in the exhaust gas into harmless water and nitrogen. This after-treatment system is separate from the engine which means the engine only breathes clean, fresh air. What does this mean? Clean running power units that offer improved performance and enhanced fuel economy.
  • EFFICIENT POWER TRANSFER

    In order to get the very most out of your FR Forage Cruiser, efficient power transmission from the engine to the driven parts and ultimately to the ground is a must. The range’s in-line concept and direct driveline logic guarantee this and so much more.
  • SPACIOUS AND QUIET. YOUR FIELD OFFICE.

    The FR Forage Cruiser range of forage harvesters offer you a home away from home during long foraging days. The spacious cab offers unrivalled 360° visibility and you can enjoy all of that space in the peace and quiet of the cab. The automotive inspired interior, features an ultramodern dark grey colour scheme, which has been extended to the seat, headliner and armrest. The luxurious leather steering wheel and two tone leather trimmed seats add to the exclusive, premium feel of your field office.
  • EFFORTLESSLY MAXIMISING PERFORMANCE.

    Intelligent and intuitive automation saves time and enhances foraging performance. The CommandGrip™ multifunction lever is the primary interface that controls your FR. All key machine operating parameters can be managed including header controls, spout engagement and Power Cruise activation. 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.
  •  

    New Holland offer multiple levels of accuracy. This enables you to select the right accuracy to match your needs and budget. When using RTK correction with IntelliSteer® you can enjoy guaranteed year on year repeatability.
  • 360°: FR FORAGE CRUISER

    The FR Forage Cruiser range has been designed to spend more time working and less time in the yard. After all, we all know how precious time is in the field during short foraging windows. All service points are easy to access, and long service intervals mean the FR will spend more time in its natural environment: the field.
