PowerCruiseTM II
This feature allows the operator to operate the machine in an efficient mannor.
In road mode:
The engine is operated at the lowest possible speed whilst maintaining tractive
effort. Engine rpm ranges between 1200-1800rpm.
In field mode (Full load crop conditions):
Automatically adjusts the engine and ground speed in order to maintain maximum
capacity
In field mode (Partial load crop conditions):
Automatically controls engine speed to maintain optimum fuel consumption level.
In field mode (Headland operation):
During headland operation the engine rpm will be reduced to 1700rpm whilst the
header is in the raised position. When the header is lowered the engine rpm will
increase to a value depending on what ECO mode is active.
PowerCruiseTM II Sensitivity
The PowerCruiseTM II sensitivity can be adjusted through the monitor. The system
sensitivity may require adjustment depending on crop conditions especially and
level of variation in crop yield through a field.
NOTE: It is recommended that the forward set speed is set 1.5-2 km/h above normal
forward speed. Failure to do so may cause the system to overreact.

ECO mode
The FR Forage Cruiser has a function called ECO mode. The purpose of this system is
to reduce fuel consumption in the circumstance that the full engine power is not
required. ECO mode adjusts the engine RPM based on engine load.
When using ECO mode the engine rpm will not go below the PowerCruiseTM II
engine rpm setting
ECO Mode 1: (Default)
Engine rpm ranges between 1700-1850rpm.
ECO Mode 2:
Engine rpm ranges between 1950-2100rpm
In certain conditions it maybe necessary to run in ECO mode 2 in order to maintain
cutterhead and blower speed such as grass with high sugar content.
ECO Mode OFF:
Engine rpm is fixed to 2100rpm
ECO mode selection
1. Press on the “engine throttle up” button. This will bring the engine from low
idle to ECO mode 1
2. Press on the “engine throttle up” button again to advance to ECO mode 2. Press
“engine throttle down” to revert back to ECO mode 1.
