Features
FEEDROLLS AND CUTTERHEAD
BEST IN CLASS CHOP QUALITY
It’s a bold statement, but NEW FR Forage Cruisers more than live up to this title. Industry-leading HydroLoc™ technology ensures constant chop length regardless of crop type and variations in load. But, quality is nothing without throughput, and all FR models turn crop into feed at amazing rates.
WIDEST FEEDROLLS
The feedroll opening is 33.9 inches wide and up to 7 inches tall, giving an area of over 231 square inches to help swallow even the largest windrows efficiently. Standard anti-wrap filler sections on the top front feedroll help prevent wrapping in hay crops when backing out of the crop after a metal detection. Replaceable wear bars (optional on some configurations) on both upper and lower front feedrolls improve feeding and durability in tough harvesting conditions.
HYDROLOC™ DRIVE FOR CONSISTENT LOC
The Forage Cruisers’ proven HydroLoc system provides on-the-go adjustment of LOC (length of cut). The feedrolls are driven by a powerful hydrostatic system that automatically matches the feedroll speed to the cutterhead’s speed and knife configuration, providing a consistent chop length, even under varying loads and speeds. The selected LOC is displayed on the monitor and can be easily adjusted with a switch on the side console.
LARGEST CUTTERHEAD AVAILABLE
The heart of the FR is the largest cutterhead in the industry—not only wider but also larger in diameter than any competitor model. The high rotating mass helps prevent shock loads to the driveline and powers through crop slugs with no problems. The proven chevron knife design delivers the most uniform chop, and begins to converge the crop to pass through the rest of the crop channel. Choose the cutterhead configuration that best meets your chopping needs.

NEW! ADJUST-O-MATIC™ AUTOMATIC KNIFE SHARPENING
Sharp knives ensure clean, precise cutting for maximum capacity from less power and fuel. With New Holland patented Adjust-O-Matic™ technology, you can easily sharpen knives and adjust the shearbar from the comfort of the cab. The result: significantly extended knife life and reduced shearbar wear. The new fully enclosed sharpening system stays cleaner for reliable performance and less maintenance.
NEW! ROCKALERT™ DETECTION SYSTEM
New RockAlert™ stone detector system senses sudden feedroll movement and stops the crop flow to protect the cutterhead. You can adjust sensitivity to fine-tune to your local rock conditions.
PROTECTING YOUR HARVEST AND YOUR LIVESTOCK
The state-of-the-art MetaLoc™ metal detection system features six detection zones which will bring the feedrolls to a dead halt within 300 milliseconds should metal be detected, to protect your FR and your customers’ cattle. The metal’s location will be pinpointed on the IntelliView™ IV monitor and the power reverser automatically flips open the pickup windguard and reverses the auger to positively eject the crop. The operator can even adjust the sensitivity of the system.
AN EVEN BETTER SPOUT
The widest, easiest to open spout in the industry just got better with full-length replaceable top and side liners, a new hardfaced flipper, stronger flipper cylinder, and improved spout base lubrication. Control of the spout is also easier than ever, with standard adjustable two-speed rotation and flipper actuation, three configurable memory positions, and versatile control of spout up and down.
HD WEAR LINERS
An improved wear liner package adds new HD liner sections in the spout to greatly extend wear life in abrasive crop conditions.
EXCEPTIONAL 210° OF SPOUT ROTATION
The sleek black spout benefits from a full 210 degrees of rotation, which allows you to fill trucks both on the right and left sides of the harvester. The spout flipper is easy to see through the side windows – no need to duck your head. The spout is even more stable thanks to an additional support strut, which when coupled with stronger mounting points and additional braces, enables even more precise filling. The extra-long spout has a 21-foot elevation, which means you can use the highest trailers to reduce the number of trips for non-stop efficiency.
