New Holland Deploys Data-Driven Harvesting Platform in CR Combines

New Holland has introduced its next-generation CR combine harvesters for the 2025/26 season, built around a redesigned digital and automation platform aimed at increasing output, reducing grain loss and improving operational economics.

The new CR platform is based on a fully redesigned in-cab electronic architecture, including new wiring, sensors and CNH-developed components. At the centre of the system is the IntelliView^® 12 display, a 12-inch touchscreen with increased processing power that provides machine control, performance monitoring and data management through a single interface.

IntelliView^® 12 operates alongside IntelliSense^®, the combine’s automation system, which continuously optimises harvesting parameters such as forward speed and throughput. This closed-loop control enables the machine to adapt to changing crop and field conditions without manual intervention.

Machine and yield data are transmitted to the FieldOps platform, where farmers can monitor performance, make adjustments and manage operations in real time from mobile devices. FieldOps provides fleet-wide visibility, allowing operators to track efficiency, yields and machine utilisation during harvest.

The next-generation CR combines include lifetime connectivity to FieldOps, removing ongoing subscription costs. Adding a new combine also enables lifetime connectivity across all compatible CNH machines within the same account, lowering barriers to adoption of digital farm management tools.

New Holland is also extending the platform to existing equipment by offering the IntelliView Four Plus display for legacy machines. This upgrade provides older harvesters with faster processing, a modern interface and improved data handling, enabling mixed fleets to operate on a consistent digital platform.

According to New Holland, the combination of real-time harvesting data and historical yield information allows farmers to use outputs such as yield and protein maps to inform future agronomic decisions, including seeding prescriptions and field-specific management strategies.
