New Holland is celebrating 50 years of producing self-propelled forage harvesters with the launch of a commemorative FR9000.

The history of self-propelled forage harvesters began in 1961, when New Holland decided to transform its famous pull-type forage harvester into a unit with its own engine and controls.

Now, the latest models, including the FR9000, include features like IntelliFill (where the spout automatically moves to fill the trailer), automatic knife sharpening, engine power management and more.

All these features have been included in the limited edition of the FR9000. This anniversary model features eye-catching commemorative decals, a chrome exhaust, luxury seat and leather steering wheel. This custom-built model is intended for users who want an exclusive machine that symbolises New Holland excellence in the field of forage harvesting.

It was conceived and built in the New Holland Centre of Excellence for Harvesting Machines at Zedelgem, Belgium.
