BEST-IN-CLASS CHOP QUALITY, PROCESSING EFFICIENCY AND COMFORT
The industry’s widest crop channel from feedrolls to spout flippers means a thin, controlled crop mat for best-in-class chop quality. HydroLoc™ feedroll drive technology guarantees constant chop length independent of throughput and crop type. When combined with uniform kernel cracking from the most efficient crop processors around, you’ve got the ingredients for chopping the highest quality cattle feed.

CHOP IN COMFORT
Step into the latest FR Forage Cruiser cab and you’ll notice more space, comfort, visibility, and noise suppression. Interior space has been optimized for maximum comfort during long days of chopping. 12.5% more floor space is available compared to the previous cab, plus greater seat travel and additional storage space. A noise reduction of 2.5dB is the result of dual layer front and rear windows and greater sound dampening materials in the floor, headliner, and rear wall. You’ll work even more comfortably with three new air-suspended operator seat choices with a matching instructor seat, a revised console layout and CommandGrip™ multifunction handle, and a larger IntelliView™ IV PLUS display.

CROPSPEED MONITORING SYSTEM
To help you harness the full potential of an FR Forage Cruiser, the new CropSpeed Monitoring System has been developed in-house to reduce blockage likelihood. The first of its kind in the industry, this system is based around a spout-mounted radar sensor monitors the crop flow leaving the machine, detecting the change in its rate in relation to forward speed. As a result, the system has the potential to reduce blockage likelihood and make especially dense plugs less far less likely to occur. That means if a plug does occur, cleanout and work resumption will be faster. Another benefit is less experienced operators can chop with more confidence to ensure they achieve maximum output from an FR Forage Cruiser.

OVER SIXTY YEARS OF SELF-PROPELLED FORAGE HARVESTING INNOVATION
In 1961, New Holland revolutionized forage harvesting with its first self-propelled forage harvester, the Model 818 Crop-Cruiser. The machine dramatically increased in-field performance and helped jumpstart the forage harvester revolution. Milestones over the years include the Model 1895 – the first forage harvester to offer built-in metal detection, the Model 1915 with cutterhead protection, automatic knife sharpening, and the shear bar attachment, which were all firsts, and a prestigious “Machine of the Year” award in 2007 for the FR9000 Series. Today, the FR Forage Cruiser reflects New Holland’s continuous commitment to offer products that meet your most demanding requirements.
