Rural contractor Steve Murray has run New Holland self-propelled forage harvesters for 20 years. He reckons his newest machine, an FR650, is in a league of its own.

Giant self-propelled forage harvesters are a common sight in paddocks, but wind the clock 55 years to 1962, when the Gehl 188 Chop King hit the country, and there must have been eyes standing out on stalks.

Four-rotor rakes have become the prerequisite for satisfying the enormous appetites of the latest self-propelled forage harvesters and large square balers.

With the end of 2016 in sight, New Holland has released details of the FR range of self-propelled foragers.
