Ford New Holland CR8-90 Combine Parts
Cr8.90 parts and accessories
The Ford New Holland CR8.90 combine, part of the CR series, offered high-capacity harvesting from approximately 2014 onwards. Known for its Twin Rotor technology, this combine packed a powerful engine delivering around 571 peak horsepower and was available with header widths up to 41 feet. Farmers appreciated the CR8.90 for its efficient grain separation and high throughput, particularly in demanding harvesting conditions.
The Ford New Holland CR8.90 was a flagship model within the CR combine series, demonstrating New Holland's commitment to innovative harvesting technology. Introduced around 2014, it featured a robust FPT Industrial Cursor 13 engine, delivering a rated power of 517 hp (385 kW) and peaking at 571 hp (425 kW), with a displacement of 12.9 liters. The CR8.90 employed Twin Rotor technology for separation, utilizing two 17-inch diameter, 110-inch long rotors to gently and effectively thresh grain. It boasted a large grain tank capacity of approximately 410 bushels, allowing for extended harvesting periods. The unloading auger achieved a rate of up to 4.0 bu/second, minimizing downtime during unloading. Header widths ranged from 30 to 41 feet, accommodating diverse field sizes and crop types. Chopper and spreader options efficiently managed residue. The cab offered advanced comfort and controls, including IntelliSteer auto-guidance and yield monitoring systems. The CR8.90 excelled in harvesting wheat, corn, soybeans, and other small grains, delivering exceptional performance and grain quality.

Maintenance Tips
- Concave Adjustment: Regularly check and adjust concave clearance based on crop type and moisture levels to optimize threshing efficiency and minimize grain damage.
- Belt and Chain Tension: Inspect belt and chain tension frequently, especially during the initial hours of operation. Proper tension prevents slippage, reduces wear, and ensures reliable operation.
- Sieve and Chaffer Cleaning: Clean sieves and chaffers daily to prevent buildup of debris, which can reduce cleaning efficiency and increase grain loss. Use compressed air or brushes for thorough cleaning.
- Bearing Greasing: Follow the recommended greasing schedule for all bearings, including those on the header, feeder house, and cleaning system. Proper lubrication extends bearing life and prevents costly downtime.
