Our brand new New Holland CR10.90 harvester with 12.5m (41ft) header. This is our second day out with this machine and so far it is doing an excellent job!
On August 15th 2014, a New Holland CR10.90 managed to harvest a record breaking 797.656 tonnes of wheat in eight hours, shattering the previous record by over 120 tonnes. Being a record breaking combine helped us decide we had to have this machine on farm! Maybe we'll have an attempt at this record in the future...
In this video we are harvesting our biggest field on The Estate. The field is called Huggate Heads and it is 145 acres in size. The crop is winter barley and the variety is Craft.
The tractor leading the barley away is a New Holland T7.315HD. It is kindly with us on demo from Websters, who supplied us with our new combines.
