Description
Learn how to prepare a New Holland CR10 or CR11 combine when changing crops and how its settings differ from legacy CR flagship combines. This overview covers crop-specific hardware, IntelliView 12 and IntelliSense setup, rotor and vane settings, beater-cover clearance, IntelliCruise engine-load targets, and Twin Clean fan speed.

Common questions covered in this video:
What should be checked when changing crops? Confirm the crop type, concaves, return cover, residue configuration, sieves, crop and header selections, and the recommended IntelliSense settings.
How do small-grain and corn setups differ? They may require different concaves, return covers, sieve openings, residue settings, and beater-cover clearances.
Why should legacy CR rotor settings not be copied directly? The CR10 and CR11 use 24-inch rotors, so their rotor shaft speed and resulting tip speed differ from flagship machines with 22-inch rotors.
How does vane angle affect the CR10 and CR11? Vane position has a significant effect on power consumption; the walkthrough recommends favoring a faster vane position than might be used on a legacy flagship combine.
What beater-cover clearance is recommended? The video describes approximately 8–12 mm for small grains and soybeans and about 24 mm, or roughly one inch, for corn.
What are the IntelliCruise maximum engine-load settings? The stated maximum is 105% for the CR11 and 100% for the CR10, compared with setpoints above 125% on some legacy CR flagship combines.
How does IntelliCruise assist the operator? When engaged, it manages toward both the selected ground-speed and power-level targets, allowing the operator to focus on other machine functions.
Why might IntelliSense lower the cleaning-fan speed? The Twin Clean system uses airflow efficiently, so automation may reduce fan speed below the high values commonly seen on CR8.90 and CR9.90 machines while maintaining performance.
