PT Forage Harvesters

BEST IN HIGH CAPACITY AND CHOP QUALITY
No one builds rugged, high-capacity forage harvesters like New Holland. The best-selling line of pull-type models provides the uniform chopping you're looking for and all the reliability you've come to expect from New Holland.

CROP FLOW

UNIFORM CUT LENGTH IS KEY
A uniform length of cut not only yields high-quality feed, it makes everything easier—unloading, blowing, storing and feeding. The key to a consistent chop is smooth crop flow through the forage harvester. It's a process New Holland has perfected and it's what makes these forage harvesters so effective.

SHARPENING AND ADJUSTMENT

FEATURES TO KEEP YOU CHOPPING AT PEAK EFFICIENCY
Chop quality is the hallmark of New Holland forage harvesters due to the built-in features that help to maintain them. Knife sharpening and shearbar adjustment are a snap and the cutterhead reverses to ensure a true cutting edge on all knives.

CROPPRO™ CROP PROCESSOR

ONE-PASS CORN SILAGE PROCESSING
Improve your corn silage feed efficiency with New Holland's optional onboard CropPro™ crop processor. Factory-installed between the cutterhead and blower, it shears cobs and stems, and cracks and crushes kernels, producing silage that is higher in effective fiber and easier for the herd to digest.

METALERT® III

PROTECT EQUIPMENT AND CATTLE
Broken rake tines, sickle sections and lost hitch pins can turn up in the cleanest fields. Large pieces can cause costly cutterhead damage, while smaller pieces can end up in livestock feed and harm animals. An easy way to avoid these dangers is to install the Metalert® III electronic metal detector on your forage harvester.

HEADERS

WIDE SELECTION OF CROP-SAVING HEADERS
Keep pace with the high-capacity demands of New Holland forage harvesters by choosing the right crophead. All are PTO shaft-driven for easier hookup and removal. Shaft drive provides increased reliability and less maintenance than chain drives.
