The FR920 is New Holland’s new flagship model for the company’s Forage Cruiser lineup of self-propelled forage harvesters. New Holland imbues the FR920 with enough power to ensure that the harvester won’t bog down with even the most hard-to-harvest crops. For example, the FR920 boasts a new FPT Industrial V20 engine with 911 horsepower and 44% torque rise. New Holland extends the harvester’s massive power with the latest crop processing configurations, including the new DuraCracker and DuraShredder heavy-duty crop processing systems.
Where The V20 Meets The Crop
The FR Forage Cruiser lineup features direct driveline logic, so that much of FPT Industrial’s V20 engine power is transmitted to the driven parts. On the FR920, New Holland reinforces the entire driveline to further manage the incredible engine output. For instance, a new feedroll module is onboard to support increased feeding rates, while more durable components (including larger bearing and shafts) and more aggressive tooth shapes also help to better handle the quicker feed rate.
Crop Processing
New Holland’s FR Forage Cruiser supports a variety of headers, and the FR920 is designed to enhance the harvester’s processing performance. To start, a DuraCracker system with an 8-groove belt drive delivers uniform kernel cracking, as well as the ability to match the FR920’s high throughput. Those with specialized processing requirements should note the DuraCracker design is available without rolls, so you can use a locally fitted system.
The harvester’s DuraShredder technology uses 110/138 tooth rolls and more spiral grooves to handle more intensive kernel processing. The DuraCracker and DuraShredder system works with other exclusive FR Forage Cruiser technology, such as VariFlow and HydroLoc—two processing systems that help to deliver constant chop length, no matter the throughput.
