Next-Generation Combine with Innovations to Enhance Harvesting Productivity
We popped the hood on New Holland’s CR10 combine to learn more about its power system.
J Cole Sanford, cash crop product specialist with New Holland, gave Farms.com an inside look at its layout and features.
A unique feature of this combine is that the engine is on the same angle as the rotors which creates more power efficiency through the driveline.
Engine
The heart of the CR10 is a 13L Cursor engine, pushing 635 horsepower.
As mentioned earlier, the engine is designed to align at the same angle as the rotors. This unique setup eliminates unnecessary turns in the driveline, enhancing power efficiency and maximizing performance.
PTO
The rear of the engine houses the PTO components, including the hydromechanical drive for the feeder and rotor.
These systems enable practical functions like reversing the rotors or feeder house to handle blockages efficiently, ensuring seamless operation during harvest.
Cooling System
The CR10 features a robust cooling system with two engine cooling fans and radiator screens.
Clean air is drawn from behind the grain tank and in front of the engine, ensuring effective cooling and maintaining a clean operational area. This system enhances engine performance while minimizing maintenance needs.
Sound Barrier
The cooling system is strategically placed between the operator station and the engine, doubling as a sound barrier. This placement ensures a quieter and more comfortable environment for operators, improving overall user experience.
New Holland’s CR10 integrates advanced engineering and innovative design to deliver exceptional power, efficiency, and comfort.
