At Agritechnica in autumn 2023, New Holland introduced the CR11 combine harvester, which had been developed over a period of 10 years. In the design, the problem of how to make the threshing system more efficient while staying within the 3.5-meter transport width allowed by European road traffic regulations for machines equipped with caterpillar tracks was solved. In the CR11, traditional belts, chains, or variators were not used for power transmission. The left threshing cylinder also functioned as the drive shaft, which transmitted power from the longitudinally mounted, forward-tilted engine located at the rear under the cab to the bevel gear operating the threshing drum. The drive of the bevel gear could also be reversed to enable reverse rotation.

The two threshing rotors had a diameter of 61 cm instead of the previous 56 cm and a length of 350 cm. The sieve width was 179 cm. Both the upper and lower sieves were arranged in pairs and had a lateral movement feature that helped to level uneven loading of the sieves, for example, on slopes. The grain tank had a standard capacity of 16 m³, with a 20 m³ option, and an unloading rate of 210 l/min. The chopper ran in the opposite direction than usual, with the straw passing over the chopper. The empty weight of the combine was approximately 26 tons.

The CR11 was equipped with a 16-liter FPT Cursor engine with a maximum power of 775 hp. In 2024, the CR10 was introduced alongside it, which had a 13-liter 634 hp engine and a 1300-liter fuel tank instead of 1500 liters.
