Ford New Holland CR970 Combine Parts

Cr970 parts and accessories

The Ford New Holland CR970, manufactured from 2003 to 2007, was a high-capacity rotary combine designed for efficient grain harvesting. Boasting engine options up to 360 HP and accommodating header widths up to 36 feet, the CR970 became popular among farmers seeking increased productivity. Its twin rotor design and advanced features made it a reliable choice for tackling large acreages of wheat, corn, and soybeans.

The Ford New Holland CR970 was produced from 2003 to 2007, building upon the legacy of the CR series combines. It was powered by a Cummins or Iveco engine option, reaching up to 360 horsepower with displacements around 8.3 liters. This combine employed a twin rotor system, consisting of two longitudinal rotors for threshing and separating grain. The grain tank held approximately 315 bushels, and the unloading auger could discharge grain at a rate of up to 3.3 bushels per second (198 bu/min). Available header widths ranged from 30 to 36 feet, allowing for efficient harvesting in various field conditions. Chopper and spreader options were available to manage crop residue. The cab featured improved comfort and controls compared to earlier models, including advanced monitoring systems. The CR970 excelled at harvesting a variety of crops, including wheat, corn, soybeans, barley, and canola, and was favored for its high throughput and grain quality.
