28 New Holland is introducing multiple innovations for its line of model year 2025 FR Forage Cruiser self-propelled forage harvesters. “We’re doing our very best to bring new and innovative tech into the cab to increase operator efficiencies and comfort,” Brad Littlefield, precision product manager with CNH, told Farms.com Precision Ag Digital Digest. One of the more notable updates is a new crop stop technology blockage and detection system – the first of its kind in the industry. The system is based around a radar sensor mounted about four feet from the end of the spout that monitors the crop flow leaving the machine. “Blockages happen and they can be a real pain to get cleaned out,” Littlefield said. “We automated the system so if the crop flow gets below the threshold that the operator sets, the system will beep and slow down automatically. And if the crop flow gets too slow, the system will stop the feed rolls to keep you from having blockages.” New Holland’s internal data shows blockages can be reduced by up to 40 percent, Littlefield added. The manufacturer has also upgraded its IntelliFill system. This system detects the trailer edge and provides automated filling over a 210⁰ arc. The update provides equipment operators with increased visibility. “We’re excited about the addition of camera feedback,” Littlefield said. “Before you would set up the calibration without actually knowing what the camera was seeing. Now you get that instant feedback and can diagnose a problem or get it set up initially.” Another new idea for the FR forage cruiser lineup is Connectivity Included. This technology helps equipment support telematic data for the life of the modem. “Within FieldOps we can gather valuable machine metrics and performance metrics to figure out if we’re being as efficient as we can with every machine,” Littlefield said. “Whereas before that would’ve been an additional purchase, we’re now offering that free from the factory.” WATCH THE VIDEO PHOTO: agriculture.newholland.com The Blockage Prevention System is an Industry First DIEGO FLAMMINI FARMS.COM NEW HOLLAND’S NEW TECH FOR FORAGE HARVESTERS
