Header Adapter for a New Holland® FR

The KFR9000 Adapter is a cutting-edge solution from Kooima Ag designed exclusively for New Holland self-propelled forage harvesters. This adapter enables efficient earlage harvesting using a row-crop header, helping producers maximize their working window by harvesting later than silage. The resulting earlage offers a feed product that reduces roughage requirements compared to traditional corn-based rations, making it an essential tool for modern livestock feed production.

Key Features and Benefits

The KFR9000 facilitates seamless connection between New Holland forage harvesters and various row-crop headers. Its proven single paddle design ensures smooth material input, while its robust construction guarantees durability, with many customers enjoying over 10 years of dependable use. Ideal for 8-row and 10-row corn heads, this adapter accommodates both narrow and wide row configurations.

The adapter’s efficient feeding angle promotes faster product intake, allowing many operators to drive 4-6 MPH during operation. For even better performance, consider upgrading to the KFR920 Dual Roll Adapter, which offers constant feeding, improved speed, and reduced material buildup at the harvester throat.

Installation and Compatibility

The KFR9000 Adapter is easy to install, connecting just like any other implement. It can remain attached to the harvester or corn head when not in use. For New Holland forage harvesters equipped with dual drive hookups, this adapter powers a wide range of corn heads, including John Deere®, New Holland®, Case IH®, Drago™, and more. Conversion brackets are available for Case IH (K98CJD), New Holland Corn Heads (K4000CH), and Geringhoff headers (KGCKIT).
