New Holland returns to Cereals
in 2018
New Holland returns to Cereals in 2018 and will be showcasing some of its latest machines. Visitors to stand 887 will
see the CR9.80 Revelation 24" SmarTrax with Flex Technology, part of the CR Revelation range – its latest rotary
combine models launched in 2017 - and the flagship FR920 forage harvester. The manufacturer’s new T6 Direct
CommandTM and high performance T7 Heavy Duty tractors will also be on display.
ew Holland has also provided
the UK’s leading arable event
with two T6 tractors to pull the
visitor ride-on trailer shuttle to
and from the car park on both
days in style.
CR9.80 Revelation Combine Harvester
The latest CR models have been designed
with increased capacity in mind. Both narrow
and wide width models feature more space in
the rotor tube for increased capacity at a lower
power requirement. The new styling also
ensures improved visibility and serviceability.
Launched at harvest 2017, the narrow frame
CR7.90 and CR8.80 features a revised rotor
cage, which increases the space available for
threshing while the latest Twin Pitch Rotors and
a revised Dynamic Feed Roll maintain crop
throughput in even the most difficult harvesting
conditions.
The wide frame models now feature Twin
Pitch Plus as standard, the rotor configuration
that was developed especially for the world-
beating CR10.90.
Residue management is likely to be one of
the biggest challenges facing farmers over the
next ten years so, the CR8.90, CR9.80, CR9.90
and range topping CR10.90 all benefit from a

revised residue management system including,
an award-winning chaff distribution system, a
revised straw chopper rotor for finer chopping
and, revisions to the Opti-SpreadTM system to
ensure even spreading of chopped material out
to 14.5 metres.
FR920 Forage Harvester
One of the stars on the New Holland stand at
Cereals will be the new flagship FR920,
featuring the all-new FPT Industrial V20 engine
developed specifically for forage harvesting
applications. It delivers a massive 670 kW (911
hp) maximum power at 1600 to 1800 rpm,
4,095 Nm maximum torque and a productivity-
boosting 44% torque rise at 2100-1600 rpm.
The power curve is mapped to match the
precise requirements of foraging applications
ensuring the best transient response, reacting
fast to changing load. The V20 engine delivers
the most fuel-efficient performance in the 1600
to 1900 rpm working range. This, together with
the low maintenance costs results in the
machine’s excellent Total Cost of Operation.
Tractors
New Holland will show its new T6 Dynamic
CommandTM multi-purpose tractor range with
new, 8 step semi-powershift
transmission. Offering between 145 and 175
max hp with engine power management, the
lowest fuel consumption levels of a 4-cylinder
agricultural tractor, and a host of productivity-
boosting features, the T6 Dynamic Command
models sets a new benchmark in efficiency.
The T6 24x24 Dynamic Command adds further
choice to the popular Basildon-Built T6 range,
complementing the T6 Electro CommandTM
and Auto CommandTM models.
The T6 Dynamic CommandTM range is now
available via New Holland dealers with
demonstration units becoming available from
May 2018.
Additional tractors at the show include the T7
Heavy Duty tractor. The most powerful tractors
ever built in Basildon, the two-model T7 Heavy
Duty range offers an excellent power to weight
ratio, making it ideal for tillage and top work,
especially at speed. Continuously variable
transmission provided by New Holland’s Auto
Command™. Four-speed rear PTO and a two-
speed front PTO offer significant fuel savings
with engine rpm adjusted via the in-cab speed
shift to take account of changing conditions
and implement demands, to maximise engine
efficiency.
