ULTRAFEED™ GRASS PICK-UP

The new UltraFeed™ pick-up is built to provide the best crop flow, securing the most direct and uninterrupted flow to the FR Forage Cruiser. Crop is actively and tightly controlled starting from the front large diameter windguard through the pick-up reel and auger towards the feeding rolls of the FR Forage Cruiser. By applying optimal pressure constantly on the crop, nothing is left behind on the field disregarding the size of the swath. The active crop guidance starts with the large diameter roller windguard on the UltraFeed™ pick-up. The crop guide behind the roller windguard feeds the crop directly to the large auger, which is hydraulically liftable up to 160cm to give direct access to the auger when needed.

The design of the new UltraFeed™ pick-up is aimed at clean fields, leaving nothing behind. The reel and auger speed is automatically adjusted to the pace of the machine, ensuring a perfect match of the incoming crop volume to the ground speed.

To ensure maximum uptime, the reel features a new and innovative tine installation. The 5 tine bar pick-up reel has optimized tine spacing for the best crop collection performance, running at an increased speed to sustain the highest volumes of crop. Bearings are maintenance free for more time spent chopping. Easy maintenance doesn’t mean fragile parts! All hardware is upgraded to the highest levels of durability for uninterrupted days in the field.

The newly designed auger brings feeding efficiency to new dimensions to ensure the highest throughputs and most efficient crop flow. The large diameter auger tube is installed with the signature New Holland dual flight auger design, tried and tested to provide the best possible flow of material in all crop types. The auger is an integral part of the active crop guidance concept. Being able to move independently from side to side, the auger is able to even out the lumpiest of swath, smoothening out the crop package. A combination of the auger design and the central paddle feeding directly to the feedrolls of the FR Forage Cruiser results in a significantly higher and more efficient flow of crop as well as a more comfortable operator experience.

The new guards are designed for durability and flexibility, with a single nut to release when access is needed to the reel.

The unique driveline design is built to sustain the highest possible loads the machine will encounter. Overload protection is controlled by the FR Forage Cruiser, and thanks to the lump-evening effect of the independently moving auger, non-stop productivity is secured for effective days in the field. The driveline is maintenance free, keeping daily maintenance at an absolute minimum.

A choice between skid shoes or rollers as rear ground support on the new UltraFeed™ pick-up gives full flexibility to choose for any field condition.

An LED light package secures clear visibility into the header during operation. When needed to be in the auger, illumination also helps to see clearly anything needed to be cleaned out. The integrated safety button ensures the header can be accessed easily and safely, and must be disengaged before harvesting can recommence.

Even the smallest parts counts towards overall performance! The tracking wheels adjustment is simply done by turning a lever to adjust the height for perfect ground tracking. Folding the wheels can be done from the cab, to move rapidly from field to field, all from the comfort of the seat of the cab.
