FR Forage Harvesters

POWERFUL PERFORMANCE. AUTOMATED PRODUCTIVITY.

The FR is New Holland’s most powerful machine. Ever. Some pretty impressive technology is used to generate up to 824hp(CV) of pure foraging power. The entire range benefits from single engine technology for reduced overall weight and complexity for the ultimate in easy maintenance. A large torque rise over the working range enables the FR to effortlessly sail through even the most demanding fields with ease.

CLEAN POWER. PURE PERFORMANCE.

The FR450 and FR500 benefit from the productivity enhancing features of Cursor 9 and 13 engines equipped with ECOBlue™ SCR technology for Tier 4A compliance. Developed in partnership with FPT Industrial, over 210,000 SCR engines have already rolled off the production line. This proven solution uses AdBlue to transform the harmful nitrogen oxides contained in the exhaust gas into harmless water and nitrogen. The after-treatment system is separate from the main 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, sound good to you?

TRANSIENT RESPONSE

Here at New Holland we’re passionate about transient response. You might think what’s that? Quite simply, ECOBlue™ SCR technology enables the FR’s engine to react 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.

POWER CRUISE FOR THE HIGHEST WORK RATES

The 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. When working flat out, the system manages ground speed to maintain constant engine speed for the highest work rate. The automated nature of the system means that the operator can get on with the serious business of foraging. The top transport speed of 40kph can be achieved at a mere 1400rpm with 20% fuel savings and a quieter operating environment.

TURBO COMPOUND EFFICIENCY

The FR600 features a Cursor 13 Turbo Compound engine which can lower your fuel consumption by up to 8% by using the exhaust gases to power the engine crankshaft. Furthermore, it is 100% biodiesel compliant, so you can power your FR with fuel you’ve grown in your fields.

THE MIGHTY VECTOR V8

More commonly found on high speed trains, the Vector V8 is the beating heart of the largest FR850 model. Developing up to 824hp(CV) of pure power, you’ll keep going like a train, steaming up and down fields for unbridled performance.
