New Holland FR9000
Forager: The power to increase productivity
FR9000 Series - five all-new models
from 424hp to 824hp
Largest cutter head in the industry, up to 15%
bigger than the competition
Power Cruise™ - a new driving concept
Turbo Compound technology on FR9060 - saving
fuel while maintaining power
Variflow™ system- powerful unloading in
every crop type
New cab - unrestricted views and detailed information
MetaLoc™ system – Metal detector
and locator
New Holland's FR9000 Series forage harvesters
have been designed with the farmer and contractor
in mind. The all-new machines introduce the
next generation of powerful engines and innovative
features to the harvester market, raising the
bar on productivity, ease-of-use and driver
comfort.
Cutting costs and chopping more
The new forage harvester features the largest
cutterhead in the business, up to 15% wider
and larger in diameter than the competition
designed to run smoothly and efficiently in
varying crop loads due to its high inertia.
The cutter head can be equipped with 2x8, 2x12
or as many as 2x16 knives in V-shape configuration.
Careful positioning of the crop
processor and blower, and the ability to reduce
the distance between them by 60% when working
in grass, ensures the optimum movement of crop
and lower fuel consumption. The power requirement
is reduced by 40hp in grass work.
Power to the cutterhead, blower
and crop processor is independent of power to
the harvester's hydrostatic drive. The constant
engine speed guarantees a consistent chopper
speed to provide best chop quality.
The FR9000's HydroLoc feed roll
drive system allows chop length to be adjusted
instantly and on the move. The efficient hydrostatic
drive optimises speed synchronisation between
the attachment and feed rolls, aligning the
crop uniformly and producing a consistent chop
length.
A clean cut between the knives
and shearbar is vital in dry maize and can be
achieved by optimising the knife profile. The
ability to sharpen knives and adjust the shearbar
while the cutterhead is running in reverse is
a useful option on the FR9000.

More power and
productivity
The FR9000 forage harvester is powered by a
new turbo-charged engine that provides high
levels of horsepower, torque and an impressive
power rise.
The flagship FR9090, for example,
features a 56hp power rise from its rated power
of 768hp to a maximum power of 824hp at 2000rpm.
The power rise, and associated torque rise of
25% from 2100rpm to 2000rpm, enables the FR9000
to quickly overcome varying crop conditions,
inspiring driver confidence and boosting productivity.
The new Variflow™ system
dramatically reduces the power required for
the blower by maintaining the speed of chopped
crop as it is transferred from the cutterhead
to the blower, enabling the crop to continue
its momentum. The crop is sent from the blower
in a concentrated jet, which is ensures accurate
control and good compaction in the trailer.
As with the crop processor, the
Variflow system can be altered between its two-position
settings in less than two minutes by one operator
without tools. This in-field flexibility enables
grass, maize or wholecrop to be harvested in
turn without delays from extensive setup changes.
Designed to be driven easily
The intensive performance demands dictated by
seasonal use are easily met by the FR9000. Power
and reliability are matched by easy operation
and supreme comfort. While Power Cruise optimises
fuel consumption of the road and work rate in
the field, many automated functions further
increase efficiency. Automatic headland control
avoids spills during turns, synchronises reel
and ground speed, auger and feeder speed and
returns the header to the correct cutting height.

| Taking
advantage of this prodigious power,
New Holland's Power Cruise™
system is able to maintain the highest
work rate in the prevailing conditions,
ensuring the FR9000 is always working
to the best of its capabilities. With
the optimum engine speed fixed for
maximum performance, Power Cruise
will continually monitor the actual
power required and adapt the forward
speed of the FR9000 to reach the highest
possible work rate. By maintaining
the ideal engine speed, not only is
reliability increased but the chop
length of the crop is also precisely
controlled.
Fuel efficiency is
further enhanced by the engine's Turbo
Compound technology, a feature of
the Iveco Cursor engine on the FR9060.
New Holland has been the first to
recognise and apply the benefit of
this technology to agricultural equipment,
which uses the energy from the turbo-charger
exhaust gases to directly power the
engine crankshaft via a hydrodynamic
coupling. This translates to an 8%
fuel saving for the same engine power,
and a 20% fuel saving when the Power
Cruise driving system is used on the
road. The FR is still able to travel
at 40kph with the maximum engine speed
limited. In addition to the important
fuel and money saving, the lower engine
speed results in a much quieter and
more comfortable drive.
Uncompromised chop quality
Precise control of chop length and
crop processing is essential for farmers
and contractors looking to attain
the highest nutritional value from
their forage. Customers' demands vary
by crop type, crop quality and feeding
regimes.
The FR9000 uses the
same IntelliView™ II monitor
fitted to the brand's CR and CX flagship
combines. The easy-to-navigate, colour
display provides all the important
operating information, including New
Holland's MetaLoc™ metal detection
system. The display identifies the
location of the object for easy extraction,
essential with the large size of the
FR9000's chopping unit.
