New Holland updates narrow-body rotary combine
range with new CR8.80
New Holland has launched its narrow-bodied CR8.80, the latest model in its rotary combine line up. Featuring a new
engine which meets Tier 4B emissions criteria and adjustable vanes for superior grain separation. The new model is
highly efficient and responsive, even under full load.
he CR8.80’s new
FPT Cursor 11
engine brings it in
line with the rest of
the CR range with
ECOBlue™ HIeSCR emissions technology to
meet Tier4B criteria. No
requirements for engine gas
recirculation (EGR) means it
maintains the high efficiency
expected of a CR combine while
remaining responsive when
running under full load for long
periods.
Redesigned adjustable vanes
have been added and help
improve power efficiency and
increase grain separation. Already
in use on larger CR models the
vanes sit on the top section of the
rotor cage helping keep the crop
T
on the rotor for longer. Improved
centrifugal threshing removes
more grain from the straw mat,
which is particularly useful when
working with damper straw more
common in UK and Irish crops.
When shod with tall 710/70 R42
tyres or 24’’ tracks the CR8.80
treads a narrower path through
traffic and gateways at 3.24m
wide, while high capacity headers
ensure optimum productivity in the
field. The CR8.80 is capable of
harvesting in excess of 50 tonnes
of wheat per hour when fitted with
a 30’ (9.1m) Varifeed™ table. It
also features the same Twin Pitch
Rotor™ technology and Dynamic
Feed Roll module as can be found
in the range topping CR10.90.
The CR8.80 is a comfortable
place to spend long hours at the
48 | Farming Monthly | September 2016
wheel with the Harvest Suite™
Ultra cab. Operators benefit from
low noise levels of 73dB and a
glass area of 6.3m2 for exceptional
visibility, plus air-conditioning,
automatic climate control, coolbox
and removable fridge. New
Holland’s CommandGrip™ handle
and IntelliView™ IV monitor come
as standard, while optional
IntelliSteer® auto guidance helps
operators manage a variety of
guidance paths and SmartSteer
edge guidance automatically
ensures the header is full, right to
the edge.
The new CR8.80 makes its
debut during New Holland’s
Harvest Demonstration Tour of the
UK during August and S eptember.
