Pure rotary breed

Unrivalled throughput

No combine harvester matches the capacity of the New Holland CR models. The amounts of crop processed by the CR combines are just huge. The pure rotary breed accepts no compromises. Complete threshing and separation are achieved by two rotors running in opposite directions and two huge concaves.

The gentle multipass action of the pure rotor technology produces a superior grain and straw quality in unmatched capacities.

Getting even more out of the new models

Maximising the CR’s enormous potential is made possible thanks to the innovative features of the new models. Modern, high horsepower engines, with advanced technology, have high fuel efficiency and offer sustained power supply. They play an important role in further optimising the potential of the new CR models.

The lay-out of the operator’s working place, the largest cab on any combine, is based on extensive research and user feedback and meets all the requirements of the professional operator of New Holland’s flagship rotary combine.

Increasing operator efficiency and improving their contribution to all aspects of the harvesting operation, the IntelliView™ ll monitor with its wide colour screen and rotary encoder navigation provides all relevant information and optimises operator interaction in a very direct way.

Automatic guidance systems that take over the steering function increase the operator’s alertness and allow more concentration on the harvesting functions for an even higher quality job and increased daily output.

Two models, offering a matchless performance

Both the CR9080 and the CR9060 are pure rotary breed. The complete threshing and separation is handled by the unique Twin Rotor™ concept. The longitudinal rotors have a length of 2.64m. On the CR9080 they have a diameter of 0.56m and on the CR9060 they have a diameter of 0.43m.

Modern Iveco Cursor engines, with direct unitized injection on the CR9080 and common rail injection on the CR9060 provide outputs of 317kW [431hp(CV)] and 260kW [354hp(CV)], at 2100rpm rated speed. Maximum power is reached at 2000rpm for both models and is as high as 337kW [458hp(CV)] on the CR9080 and 290kW [394hp(CV)] on the CR9060.

High levels of grain handling efficiency are virtually guaranteed by grain tanks with capacities of 10500 and 9000 litres.
 
From Zedelgem

100 years ago, in 1906 Leon Claeys made his first threshing machines in Zedelgem, Belgium.

In 1952, the first European self-propelled combine harvester was built.

Today, the Zedelgem site is the “New Holland centre of excellence for harvesting equipment”.

The CR new models are built in this high performance manufacturing facility, by dedicated people, who know what total customer satisfaction means, both in terms of harvesting performance and on-the-job reliability.

Premier Kernels in Industrial Quantities

CR – Pure rotary concept

Extreme threshing efficiency and huge kernel separation are the major characteristics of the exclusive Twin Rotor™ technology found in the New Holland CR combine.

As the crop enters smoothly between the rotors and the large concaves, spirally mounted rasp bars rub the grains out of any variety without restriction. A high degree of “grain on grain” rubbing adds to the threshing and separation capacity while retaining maximum grain quality.

The rasp bars and the staggered slats, together with spiral fins on the top of the rotor cage move the crop rearwards while offering repeated opportunities for all the kernels to pass through the massive concaves. The crop flow through the CR is straightforward and gives excellent straw quality.

The art of separation

The CR concaves are huge and offer continuous separation possibilities. Repeated agitation of the crop by the segmented, staggered and spirally mounted rasp bars and separation slats boosts the separation through the concaves and offers uninterrupted crop flow. Important separation action is generated by the high centrifugal force created by the unique Twin Rotor™ system.

The discharge beater at the end of the rotors helps ensure positive straw evacuation while the concave underneath allows the separation of any remaining kernels.
 
Massive throughput capacity

The unobstructed crop-flow generated by the longitudinal rotors is the key factor of the unrivalled CR throughput. By dividing the crop into halves, the Twin Rotor™ concept spreads the crop over the two rotor surfaces. An enormous active working space is available allowing an unequalled crop intake.

Superior crop treatment

The in-line crop flow is gentle on grain and straw. Undamaged grain is the result of the gentle rubbing action.

The large concave area provides plenty of time and space for threshing and separation. The smooth kernel treatment from the multipass action of the staggered rasp bars and spirally mounted slats, and of the centrifugal force, reduces the need for aggressive rubbing. As a result, grain kernels are intact. That is why crop breeders confirm that the germination percentage of grain harvested by a CR combine is exceptionally high. No broken kernels.

Even at high outputs, the high quality straw produced by CR combines is ideal for baling. Reduced straw breakage results in less short straw on the sieves, increasing cleaning efficiency.

Top Grade Grain Sample!

Suiting the requirements of the commodity market
Excellent straw quality, as a result of the in-line crop flow and the gentle crop treatment, means less short straw on the sieves and higher cleaning efficiency.

The CR cleaning shoe produces a perfect sample in any variety of crop thanks to the large and efficient cleaning area. The double acting shoe gives the precise throwing stroke to each sieve for correct treatment.

Remote sieve adjustment from the cab is standard equipment and for increased productivity in specific crops, specialist and round-hole sieves are available.

Wind-control matches the considerable grain flow

With a total sieve area under wind-control of 6.54m² on the CR9080 and 5.40m² on the CR9060, the cleaning shoe can handle the large grain volumes produced by the highly productive threshing and separation system.

Plenty of air is drawn from both sides and from the top of the fan housing while two outlets ensure an even wind pattern through the sieves.

For optimum blowing effect in light seeds the powerful six-blade fan can be fitted with a low-speed drive option.

Aggressive cascade cleaning

An important positive element in the CR cleaning module is the pre-sieve, fitted between grain pan and upper sieve.

It provides an extra section of wind-controlled sieve area but more importantly, it creates an additional air blast through the grain as it falls onto the upper sieve. At this stage a lot of chaff and short straw is taken out of the grain even before the main cleaning is started, while an important portion of the grain is directed to the lower sieve. This greatly optimises the upper sieve efficiency.
 
The most efficient levelling system on the market

Working on side-slopes without the need to slow down for full cleaning efficiency is what the New Holland self-levelling cleaning shoe allows on any typical slope encountered up to 17%. An electric actuator, controlled by a levelling sensor, keeps the complete cleaning shoe horizontal, including the long grain pan, the pre-sieve, the top and the bottom sieve. The grain moves in an even layer while an even airflow through the sieves maintains maximum cleaning efficiency. This allows operating at optimum speed on any slope, without the need to sacrifice speed or quality.

Transferring high grain volumes

A fast field operation must include the swift transfer of grain from production to storage. With the CR’s high unloading speed of 110 litres per second, even the large tank on the CR9080 is emptied in just under 100 seconds. Not the slightest delay is caused by the unloading process as the operator has a perfect view of the unloading tube.
 
Tank capacity matches high production rate

CR combines require a grain transport system that copes with their huge capacity. For high levels of grain handling efficiency, the grain tank capacities are massive - 10500 litres on the CR9080 and 9000 litres on the CR9060. To reach these high volumes while staying within accepted road transport widths, grain tank capacity extension is achieved by folding out covers from the cab.

Powerful Engines Support the Highest Throughput

Not the slightest hesitation

For sustained energy supply without compromise, CR combines are equipped with new technology engines. These Tier III emissionised Iveco Cursor engines feature power curve characteristics offering uninterrupted optimum operation of the harvester’s functions even when working in the most demanding conditions.

The Iveco Cursor 10 engine on the CR9080 comprises a fuel injection system with unitized injectors. This advanced diesel injection system integrates a high pressure pump and nozzle in a single assembly.

The Iveco Cursor 9 engine on the CR9060 features the Common Rail technology based on high injection pressure generated in an accumulator - the rail. These engines have full electronic control, optimizing the combustion process for higher power and torque. When the slightest hesitation in the heaviest field conditions is detected, response is immediate.

Precise fuel injection increases economy and lowers noise level

Both unitized injection and common rail technology use the high injection pressure to produce a fine mist of fuel that burns more completely and cleanly in the combustion chamber. In addition to reduced exhaust emissions the advantages are better engine performance, less noise and low fuel consumption.

Avoiding power losses

The Twin Rotor™ concept of the pure rotary breed CR combine uses a straightforward driveline lay-out.

By using fewer belts, more power is available for threshing, separation, cleaning and other functions.


Lower energy requirement reduces the fuel bill

The Twin Rotor™ concept achieves full threshing and separation thanks to the multipass action created by the staggered rasp bars and spirally mounted slats.

The reduced need for aggressive rubbing brings down the power requirement and the fuel bill.

Less straw breakage and intact grain kernels are signs of smooth processing and economic use of power.

Effortlessly Maximising Performance

Intuitive communication skills: IntelliView™ ll monitor

Permanently operating with the right information is a prerequisite for maximum capacity.

The new IntelliView™ ll monitor with its wide colour screen is built into the console on the operator’s right-hand side. It displays all types of information and is also the interface to control and set up certain functionalities.

Thanks to the wide screen and the use of colour, the information is displayed in a very structured way so that the operator finds what he needs at a glance.

The new rotary encoder makes navigation through the different screens and menus extremely simple. The latest innovations in monitors and controls have been incorporated to help ensure that valuable harvesting days can be fully used to focus on the overall performance of the combine.

Brilliant ergonomics

For stress-less operation the lay-out of the right hand console is logical, with the switches and buttons in the most convenient positions.

The complete console can be adjusted to suit the operator’s preference and it contains all the switches and controls for the harvester’s functions.

Electronically controlled gear shifting smoothes power transfers.

The largest cab on the market

The cab on New Holland flagship combine ranges provides more space than any other on the market.

This space, together with the many features that enhance the overall comfort level, is essential for the professional operator to continue working during the long days of harvest.

The air-conditioning features an automatic climate control system as standard.

The air-suspended seat has adjustments for for-aft positioning, height and seat back angle.

The cab is mounted on silent blocks and trimmed with insulation materials, so vibrations are practically eliminated and the noise level is the lowest available.
 
A splendid view

To ensure the operators work efficiently, they have perfect visibility of all aspects of the harvest.

New Holland Precision Land Management

Guiding the field operation

Recent developments in agriculture emphasise the use of advanced technology to get the maximum from the available land and natural resources.

On CR combines automatic guidance systems are available to reduce the load on operators so that they can concentrate on and maximise machine performance. These systems automatically steer the combine but operators stay in command and take back full control whenever the steering is turned.

Laser-based SmartSteer™ system eases the driving

The New Holland SmartSteer™ Automatic guidance system uses a laser scanner mounted under the left hand side of the cab.

It distinguishes between the cut and uncut crop to provide a signal for precise steering, so that the combine operator can concentrate on other vital combine functions to maintain maximum performance.

The scanner can be set to detect the left or the right hand crop edge.
 
IntelliSteer™ Automatic Steering System increases daily output

Making better use of the CR’s huge potential is what the IntelliSteer™ Automatic Steering System does.

Based on DGPS (Differential Global Positioning System) it will steer the combine in straight lines, parallel to a line between two points in a field, which is marked during the initial field pass.

The high precision guidance helps ensure that the full cutting width is used, eliminating missed crop.

The accuracy of the IntelliSteer™ system is not influenced by weather or crop conditions.
 
Automatic row guidance system for maize headers

Touch sensor arms in the front of a row unit continuously monitor the maize row.

Based on this information, the CR’s electronic system controls the steering valve and keeps the combine on course in any type of maize crop.
 
Getting more from growing inputs

A cultivation method that makes use of site specific soil treatment and seed application is one of the ways to optimise the efficiency of the crop-growing activity.

The starting point of Precision Farming is a yield map. The exclusive, patented, high accuracy yield sensor, developed by New Holland is generally recognised as the “best in class”. It uses a sensor plate mounted to a pivoting device with a counter weight, thus neutralising the rubbing effect of the grain.

In addition the throwing angle of the paddles that throw the grain onto this sensor plate is set so that shear grain volume does not cause deviation in the sensing system.

Mounted on the grain elevator, a moisture sensor regularly takes a sample of the harvested grain, for accurate measurement of the moisture content.
 
No calibration requirement

Thanks to the ingenuity of its concept, the unique New Holland yield sensor is fully independent of kernel mass.

Whatever the kind, the variety or the moisture content of the kernel, the impact on the sensor generates an extremely accurate yield measurement.

There is no need for calibration between fields, crops or even between cereal and maize season.

Precision Land Management possibilities

The level of application of Guidance systems and Precision Farming technology may depend on the type and size of the farming operation, local requirements, core business characteristics or even the personal preference of the farm manager.

The available packages include:

• Moisture measuring system
• Yield and moisture measuring system
• Full Precision Farming package including yield and moisture measuring, DGPS yield mapping, desktop software and software support service.

The Perfect Start: Regular Cutting and Feeding

Varifeed™ headers adapt to the crop

There is an optimum header configuration for any specific crop. For regular and smooth crop feeding the ideal knife position depends on crop height and density.

CR combines are designed for high capacity in any crop and the Varifeed™ header helps ensure that the crop flow is right from the start.

The knife position on the Varifeed™ header has a fore-aft adjustment reach of 500mm. This adjustment is electro-hydraulically controlled from the cab.

The header bottom is closed in all knife positions, without the need for filler plates. With the varying distance between knife and intake auger, the header reel plays a more important role in crop guidance and crop feeding. It is hydraulically driven for increased flexibility and to provide ample torque.

For added operator convenience, the Autofloat™ header control system is standard equipment on CR combines.

For high field speeds: Extra Capacity and High Capacity headers

For smooth crop guidance to the knife and to the feed auger, the High Capacity header on all New Holland combines has a large reel diameter and easy reel adjustments.

The high knife speed of 1150 cuts per minute, and the feeding auger with retractable fingers over the full cutting width offer high field speed and help ensure steady feeding. The configuration of the Extra Capacity grain header is adapted to heavy cereal crops. The knife position is advanced by 15cm and the large “header feeding area” copes perfectly with high crop volumes and long straw crops. For added torque the reel is driven hydraulically.

Only New Holland maize headers match perfectly

Matching the capacity of the CR combines, an eight-row high performance, flip-up, New Holland maize header is available.

The stalk rolls have four knives for the aggressive pulling down of any size of stalk and to adapt to changing stalk and cob size, the deck-plates are electrically adjustable from the cab. Integrated stalk choppers are available. Two knives per row unit help ensure thorough and fine chopping of crop residue and superb spreading of the chopped material for good decomposition. Flexibility of stalk chopping is maximised by a built-in gearbox per row-unit. This means that individual rows can be engaged or disengaged.

Operators of New Holland maize headers confirm that they are “the best in class - especially the choppers.” The automatic row guidance system and Autofloat™ sensors keep the CR combine on course in all crop conditions. As row guidance takes over part of the job operators can concentrate on and maximise the machines performance.

Starting with a perfect flow

An even crop layer from start to finish is important for the top efficiency of all combine functions and overall harvester performance.

The straw elevator’s closed drum levels and evens the crop to match the wide twin rotors.

An obstruction-free crop flow significantly contributes to the CR’s high throughput potential.

Convenient stone removal

There is no need for the operator to leave the cab if a stone is picked up by a CR combine. The automatic stone protection system consists of a detection device under the closed lower drum of the straw elevator and a pivoting door section over the full feeder width, through which stones are ejected automatically.

The vital internal threshing elements are efficiently protected without compromising performance.

Chaff and Straw Treated the Right Way

The importance of dealing correctly with chaff and straw
In operations where the use of straw is not the practise, CR combines provide the appropriate treatment of straw and chaff.

Conservation tillage, an arable farming method of growing interest, consists of planting after minimal or even zero land tillage. It reduces labour time and can lead to increased crop yields and reduced soil-erosion.

One draw-back of this farming practice may be pest problems created by moisture trapped in crop residues. This makes it vital to have adequate straw chopping and wide and even straw and chaff distribution, especially when working with the large headers common on CR combines. Avoiding chaff or straw accumulation also helps prevent seed drill blockages.

New Holland choppers: chopping fine – spreading wide

The increasing importance of residue management has resulted in the offering of choppers entirely developed and produced by New Holland. On CR combines there is a choice between four or six rows of knives.

On the choppers with six knife rows, knives with impeller characteristics are installed at the outer edges of the rotor for high spreading capacity. The high chopper speed of 3500rpm helps ensure the fine chopping and wide spreading of even the heaviest crops.

Flexible chaff blowing

Two hydraulically driven spreader units distribute the chaff over the full cutting width while the straw is placed in a windrow. This will provide straw for baling with much less chaff.
 
Exceptional straw quality

The Twin Rotor™ technology with multipass crop agitation reduces the requirement for aggressive crop treatment.

As a result the straw quality is high.

The large windrows will produce high quality bales of straw with good bedding characteristics.
