FARMERS will have the chance to see a new combine from New Holland in action when it comes to a County Durham farm.
The CR8.80 combine with a 30ft Varifeed header will be working at Harle Brothers at Brandon Hall, Brandon Village, on Wednesday and Thursday. (July 31st and September 1st).
The CR8.80 is the latest in the CR range, offering farmers a very high output but narrow machine making it suitable for tight lanes and narrow gateways.
The engine features New Holland’s EcoBlue Hi-eSCR engine technology to comply with the latest Tier 4B emissions regulations and the optional tall 710/70 R42 tyres or 24 inch tracks help keep the overall width to 3.3m.
Advanced harvesting technology, includes IntelliSteer auto guidance to deliver even greater efficiency. ECOblue technology lowers fuel consumption by up to 10 per cent and reduces operating costs.
Capable of operating with a 30ft (9.1m) Varifeed table, the CR8.80 with its brand new FPT Cursor 11 engine, is capable of operating at more than 50 tonnes per hour in wheat.
The CR8.80 features the same Twin Pitch Rotor technology and Dynamic Feed Roll module as in the range topping CR10.90.
Lloyd Ltd, the supporting dealer, will have a selection of machinery at the event which will include a walk around with New Holland staff, working demonstrations, opportunities for 'ride and drive' and refreshments.
