Setting a New Standard for Harvest
The CR11 combine is the largest and most productive combine in the field. It is designed with four pillars – increased productivity, maximum grain savings, superior residue management, and enhanced uptime to reduce the total cost of harvesting.
“With the expansion of farms and fields, the CR11 combine proves instrumental in enhancing efficiency during the limited harvest window.
It offers greater capacity, minimized downtime and improved straw spread and chop patterns, resulting in reduced losses. Consequently, this allows us to operate with fewer combines and maximize our utilization of labour resources.”
explains Jordan Kambeitz, CEO and president of Kambeitz Farms in Lajord, Saskatchewan.
In a class of its own, the CR11 combine is an unmatched combination of performance, size and technology that achieves productivity. It touts:
- A 775-horsepower FPT Cursor 16 engine, a 75-horsepower increase compared to the CR10 combine.
- A 567-bushel grain tank, holding 38% more bushels than the next biggest class of CR combine.
- A 6.0 bushel per second unload rate that can empty the grain tank in 100 seconds.
- 25% fewer drive components and elimination of all drive chains and up to a 60-foot cutting width.
- 2×24-inch rotors, with a new, larger and fully automated TwinClean double-cleaning shoe using automated cross-distribution control that increases cleaning capacity and helps achieve loss levels close to zero.
- New residue management system with remote in-cab control of counterknife bank for customized operations.
- The new IntelliSpread system uses radars for closed-loop residue spreading automation. This ensures a uniform, full-width spread performance, regardless of changes in wind or crop conditions.
- A new automatic de-slug procedure that enables operators to clear blockages in seconds without leaving the cab.
- The machine comes with PLM Intelligence features like an IntelliView 12 display, an IntelliSteer guidance system, telematics, and remote screen viewing. You can also opt for NutriSense NIR sensor for real-time crop composition monitoring to make informed decisions during harvest, storage, and sales planning.
