New Holland has had great success at the show with its latest CR11 combine, which won gold medals at Agritechnica and other design awards.
The new machine was designed and produced at New Holland's Harvesting Excellence Center in Zedelgem, Belgium.
The factory was established in the mid-1940s and was originally known as Werkhuzen Leon Claeys, later changed to Clayson until New Holland acquired the company in 1964.
Since that day, New Holland has expanded the facility that has become CNH's de facto European combine center, but Case IH tends to be the company's American-oriented combine line.
However, the company itself does not present itself as such, as it is keen to sell both brands to both markets, where each has its place.
Factory updated for CR11
As is often the case with large-scale model development, product changes are coupled with factory changes.
This is certainly the case with the CR11, as the factory has undergone a complete refurbishment of its assembly line.
The company claims that this government-backed modernization investment will introduce automated guided vehicles (AGVs) to replace traditional assembly lines, increasing flexibility and significantly increasing efficiency in the manufacturing process.
In order to expose the manufacturing process to both the public and its customer base, visitors to Zedelgem can now observe the complete production process thanks to a new factory tour format that provides complete visibility of production. Ta.
inheriting tradition
The new CR11 build is the next step in New Holland's current flagship combine.

This is 797.656 tons set in 2014.
Looking ahead, 2025 will mark the 50th anniversary of the introduction of New Holland twin-rotor technology, which uses two longitudinal rotors to thresh grain and separate it from straw and chaff.
The company feels this method is part of New Holland's DNA, and the new CR11 is centered around this system to meet the ever-increasing demand for higher capacity, minimal grain. Masu.
It does not compromise the quality of the grain and provides maximum protection.
