FR FORAGE CRUISER - STAGE V Forage Harvesters

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.

Uniform chopping

Possibly the strongest cutterhead in the industry. A wide range of different cutterhead configurations are available for bespoke foraging performance.

High Performance at any chop length. Always.

The new High Performance feedroll module is optional on all models except the FR480 and is standard on the FR920. The benefits of the high performance module are increased daily output thanks to smoother crop intake and the system has a higher durability thanks to 22 centralised greasing points. Both standard and high performance feedrolls have the industry leading HydroLoc™ system which enables you to precisely regulate chop length via the IntelliView™ IV monitor, on the move and from the comfort of the cab. The feeding channel is 12.5% higher to allow a wider opening between the feeding rolls, enabling higher throughput capacity.

ActiveLOC™ technology: moisture adapted chop length

Revolutionary ActiveLOC™ technology uses real time moisture sensing in combination with pre-set chop length parameters to control the length of the chop depending on moisture content. The result: increased clamp density and improved silage quality.

MetaLoc™ machine protection

• MetaLoc™ system features six detection zones
• Feed rolls stop dead within 300 milliseconds of a detection
• Location of the foreign metal is identified on the IntelliView™ IV monitor
• Crop is automatically ejected by the power reverser
• System sensitivity can be fine tuned by the operator
• MetaLoc™ system protects your FR and your customers livestock

RockAlert system: automatic stone detection

• RockAlert system constantly monitors the feed roll movement
• Sudden rapid vertical movement of a feed roll will trigger the system
• A detection stops the feed rolls within 300 milliseconds
• Crop is automatically ejected by the power reverser
