New Holland has pulled the wraps off its highest capacity combine harvester yet, which might just leave the competition choking behind its chaff spreader.
Called the CR11, it has almost nothing in common with it’s smaller, older brother and current flagship, the CR 10.90.
The CR11 has been 10 years in development. Threshing is still carried out by twin rotors, but these are larger 24in units that offer considerably higher throughput.
Other headline stats include a 775hp six-cylinder FPT C16 engine mounted to the side of the machine for better weight distribution, a 20,000-litre grain tank, 210-litre/sec unloading speed and the option of fitting a 15m (50ft) fully integrated MacDon flex header.
The harvester was designed and will be assembled at the company’s Center of Harvesting Excellence in Zedelgem, Belgium.
Key to the functionality is the New Holland Twin Rotor technology. This is said to deliver the lowest grain crackage on the market.
The CR11 can also unload rapidly, reaching 210-litres per second.

The CR11 will be on-stand with specialists ready to discuss the machine’s impressive range of benefits, including:
- 25% less components
- Simplified driveline
- Chain drives removed
- New chopper and chaff spreader system
- De-slug feature that guides you through unplugging
- All of the above leading to almost zero grain losses!
