New Holland Ag FR550

Step into the latest FR Forage Cruiser cab and you’ll notice more space, comfort, visibility, and noise suppression. Interior space has been optimized with you in mind for maximum comfort.

It’s a bold statement, but FR Forage Cruisers more than live up to the title of “best-in-class chop quality.” With the widest crop channel on the market from feedrolls to spout flipper, the crop mat at a given throughput is thinner and better controlled. This allows for precision chopping and throughput processing that leads to ideal feed quality regardless of crop type.

Outstanding chop quality is complimented with unparalleled processing performance to provide top-quality feed. Operators who want to quickly change out the processor to minimize downtime when changing between crops will benefit from the industry-leading Variflow™ system, which adjusts the position of the blower depending on the crop. 

FR Forage Cruisers benefit from powerful yet fuel efficient FPT Industrial engines. The Cursor 13, Cursor 16, and V20 engine all feature ECOBlue™ HI-eSCR 2 engine technology for Stage V compliance and specific tuning to match the requirements of forage harvesting. That means when you encounter a dense area of corn or haylage, the engine reacts in the blink of an eye for zero slow-down without stopping or plugging.

To produce high-quality milk and cattle throughout the year, you need high-quality silage. During optimal harvest conditions, you also need easy-to-use solutions to maximize your productivity. That’s why FR Forage Cruisers can incorporate the latest precision technology, like FieldOps™ telematics and the NutriSense™ system, to boost your efficiency and bottom line. 

FR Forage Cruisers are designed with service simplicity and low operating costs in mind. Daily service checkpoints, like inspecting the engine oil, cleaning or changing the cab and air filters, and a large work area for cleaning the cooling package and checking the crop processor are easy to access so that you get to the field fast. Combined with long service intervals and updates to wear parts in the crop flow area, you’ll reduce your cost of ownership in exchange for greater profit.

How do your harness an FR Forage Cruiser’s appetite for production? With the all-new UltraFeed™ pickup. Built from the ground up with your needs in mind, the 13 ft. (4.0 m)-wide UltraFeed pickup is designed to handle larger windrows and facilitate optimal crop flow through the crop channel to maximize the capacity of an FR780 or FR920.

New Holland offers two drum sizes of updated Pro Series row independent corn headers in working widths ranging from 15 feet (4.5 m) to 30 feet (9.1 m) to match any corn condition. Whether you’re looking for the most nutritious silage, or the highest energy for biomass, you’ve found your perfect harvesting partner.
