FR FORAGE CRUISER - STAGE V Forage Harvesters

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.

ECOBlue™ HI-eSCR 2 technology for Stage V compliance

The FR650 and FR780 are powered by the 2014 Diesel of the Year engine, FPT Industrial’s Cursor 16 powerplant and features Stage V ECOBlue™ HI-eSCR 2 technology on both the FR650 and FR780 models.

Transient response

At New Holland we’re passionate about transient response. You might think what’s that? Quite simply the FR range’s power curve has been specifically mapped to match the precise requirements of foraging applications. When that is combined with ECOBlue™ HI-eSCR 2 technology the FR’s engine reacts quicker to changing load, so when you encounter a particularly dense area of the maize field your engine will respond in the blink of an eye so you experience zero harvesting slow-down.

Automatic working modes for the highest work rates

The FR Forage Cruiser has two driving modes: Power Cruise and ECO engine management mode, which can be selected independently or used in conjunction with each other. Selection is based on crop conditions and operator preference.
Power Cruise™ II system: automatically adapts engine and ground speed in relation to actual load for fuel savings of up to 15%. During periods of reduced load, during headland turns for example, engine speed is reduced to improve fuel efficiency. When throughput increases, so does engine speed to maintain a higher work rate.
ECO engine management mode: benefits from two settings, a high range where engine speed can be set between 2100 - 1950rpm, ideal for foraging grass, and a low range which spans 1850 - 1700rpm, which is perfect when working in maize. The operator sets the desired engine speed and the ECO management mode works to ensure the engine always remains fully loaded to deliver optimal operating efficiency and performance, whilst maintaining a constant forward speed. The top transport speed of 40kph can be achieved at a mere 1200rpm with 20% fuel savings and a quieter operating environment.
Certified results guarantee impressive fuel savings. FR650 has been DLG certified to consume up to 29% less fuel in litres per tonne in grass when ECO Low mode is activated in medium-light crop conditions.
