The pioneering spirit. More than 50 years of experience.

In 1961 the first self propelled forage harvester made its appearance in the large fields of North America. It was a New Holland, Model SP 818. For more than 50 years, New Holland has been the leading brand, at the core of every major development in the forage harvesting activity, probably introducing more ground-breaking features than all other manufacturers together: multi-purpose crop attachments, industrial type engines, the metal detector, the automatic knife sharpening and shearbar adjustment.

FORAGE HARVESTING ON THE LARGEST SCALE.

Built in the Centre of Excellence

The FR9000 is built in the Zedelgem site, New Holland’s “Centre of Excellence for Harvesting Equipment”, by dedicated people, specialists in their undertaking, who know what total customer satisfaction means, both in terms of harvesting performance and on-the-job-reliability.

CHOP MORE PER DAY WITH THE LARGEST CUTTERHEAD IN THE INDUSTRY.

up to +15% Larger Diameter

Dimensions that count when chopping

To handle the increased crop volumes from wider pickups and maize attachments the New Holland chopper concept features a cutterhead up to 15% larger in diameter and up to 30% wider than the competition. It consists of two sections of 8, 12 or 16 knives which ensure the highest capacity and chop quality in the widest choice of chop lengths.

Chopping high volumes without increasing the crop layer thickness

For increased chopping capacity, spreading the crop over a wider cutting line reduces the crop layer thickness and smoothens the cutting action. On the FR9000 models more crop is spread by the 860mm wide feed rolls which efficiently feed it to the 885mm wide cutterhead: the widest on the market.

Perfect crop flow whatever the crop

Offering unobstructed powerful crop flow the FR9000 models considerably enhance throughput. How? The system’s components have been placed with painstaking precision to offer the best/optimum flow. Want more? The new three-position Variflow™ system enables operators to alter the position of the blower depending on the crop being harvested. The system is fitted with 1 maize and 2 grass settings, ensuring lighter crops, for example second cut silage, are processed with unparalleled efficiency.

Powerful blowing

No limitations in the blowing of the chopped material: the spout of the FR9000 models is 330mm wide: the widest available! The maximum height of the spout is 6.40m. which means that it easily fills forage trailers of any size.

Strongest blowing force in any crop

The patented Variflow™ system has been designed to achieve maximum capacity and blowing efficiency from light and dry to heavy and sticky crops. While switching the Variflow™ system from maize position to grass position, the distance between cutterhead and blower is reduced by 60%. This close blower position reduces crop turbulences and material dispersal which eliminates the risk of blockages and plugging.

POWER THAT COUNTS WHEN CHOPPING.

Custom-made engines boost performance

While developing the FR9000 models, the engines, with their advantageous torque and power curve characteristics are set and adjusted for optimum performance in the specific forage harvester application. Unlike engines for standard commercial applications, the FR9000 engine provides an immediate and quick response to any rpm reduction caused by the operating load. To achieve this, engine specialists together with New Holland forage harvester experts defined the shortest suitable response time for maximum performance within the applicable emission norms.

Torque and power for the highest throughput

A momentary power demand increase caused by field or crop irregularity, is immediately taken care of by the New Holland FR9000 models and their engines. A torque rise of 25% over a small rpm reduction within the true operating zone from 2100 to 1800rpm, will keep the FR9000 going in even the toughest of conditions. Driving confidence of the highest level! This massive torque rise furthermore translates in an increase of up to 56hp(CV) over a reduction from the 2100rpm rated speed to the maximum power at 2000rpm. This ensures that the dynamic chopping components keep running at high speed for less stress and maximum reliability, while maintaining the highest level of chop quality.

Full power, even for the largest attachments

All hydrostatic drive components are specified for the highest operational demands. In the standard configuration the crop attachment is driven through the HydroLoc™ feed roll drive. For use with large attachments in demanding crop conditions there is an optional second hydrostatic drive that allows for more power to be transferred to the crop attachment. This also allows adapting the attachment speed independently from the feed rolls.

Traction power in any field

Built with a high ground clearance - up to 14cm higher than competitive models the FR9000 forage harvester manoeuvres with ease in any field situations. A differential lock is standard and when linked to the optional true mechanical 4 wheel drive makes for a powerful passage through any field conditions.

Power Cruise™ II system strives for optimum fuel efficiency and the highest work rate

The Power Cruise™ II system is the next generation of New Holland’s new drive concept. The system automatically adapts engine speed and ground speed of the forage harvester, depending on the actual crop load conditions. During periods of reduced engine load, headland turns or during idling, the engine will slow down to improve fuel efficiency. When throughput increases, the engine speed will increase to keep up with the higher work rate. Under full load, the Power Cruise II system will adapt the forager’s ground speed at constant engine speed, to reach the highest possible work rate. On high horse power units, a fuel efficiency improvement of up to 15% can be obtained with the new Power Cruise II system.

SINGLE ENGINE TECHNOLOGY.

Designed for efficiency

For maximum power efficiency, the heavy-duty drive line of the FR9000 forage harvester range is based on a single engine power source. The important advantages of this technology include straight-forward power transmissions without a complicated engine coupling requirement. Furthermore, in comparison with twin engine system, a single engine requires less maintenance and its fuel consumption is also lower.

Rugged convenience

The Hydroloc™ chop length adjustment adds to the simple reliability of the FR9000 drivelines. The smooth crop flow avoids peak loads for optimum use of the available power.

Most powerful engine in the harvester industry

The FPT Vector 8 engine on the top Model FR9090 with maximum power at 2000rpm of 606kW [824hp(CV)] provides more power than any other harvester engine on the market. Its “immediate response” characteristics help sustaining unmatched harvesting performances.

Massive power transmission supports supreme chopping

The FR9000’s strong drivelines are developed for use with engines that deliver up to 1000hp(CV). The over-dimensioned engine gearbox is designed for this particular application. The driveline set-up has proven to be extremely efficient in terms of power consumption, whatever the crop conditions.

Direct drivelines increase efficiency

Unlike competitive designs, all the drivelines on FR9000 start off directly from the gearbox, this is so each one only transfers the power required for its specific function. This parallel system of power transfer greatly adds to the efficiency of the power transmission. The Extra wide 9 HB V-belt that drives the chopper unit on the FR9080 and FR9090 is the strongest in the industry.
