Powerful Performance
Performance starts with the
1,000 rpm driveline. It’s rated at
190 PTO or 210 tractor horse
power. The massive twelve
knife cutterhead is 21 inches in
diameter. Hardened alloy
knives have tungsten edges to
reduce knife-sharpening chores.
You get smoother feeding and
controlled chopping, thanks to
the new crop-control design,
which allows the feedrolls and
cutterhead to work as one unit
for minimum material loss and
low power needs. Under-knife
baffles and auger baffles keep
your crop flowing after it is
chopped to reduce cutterhead
carryover.

HERE’S HOW METALEETII WORKS
1. Both front feedrolls are made
from stainless steel. Housed
inside the lower feedroll are a
magnet and sensor. The magnet
emits a constant magnetic field
between the two front feedrolls.
2. When stray metal disrupts the
magnetic field, the detector
immediately sends a signal to a
solenoid which releases a spring
loaded stop pawl into the ratchet
lucing the new Model 900 from Sperry New Holland
an extra-heayy-duty
r that is designed to
meet the new needs of today’s
big crop producers. With the
Model 900 you can hitch up to
more horsepower and move into
your crop with confidence.

wheel. The feedrolls and crop
head drive stop immediately,
before the metal reaches the
cutterhead.
3. Electric remote controls have
built-in alarm light and horn to
warn when a detection is made
and feedrolls are disengaged. The
feedroll control switch is used to
reverse the crop.
Feature Flexibility
The new Model 900 comes to you with a
greater range of feature flexibility so
that you can choose the equipment that
is exactly right for your operation.
Important practical options include:
• Hydraulic swing tongue
• Slip clutch feedroll protection
• Two-speed blower
• Electromagnetic clutches on gearbox
• Tandem wheels
• Truck rims
• Electronic metal detector
Maintenance Made Easy
Maintaining the Model 900 in top
chopping condition is easier than ever
before. The flip-up feedroll design
allows easy access to the shearbar
and scraper without removing the
crophead.
Adjusting the reversible shearbar is
quick and easy. There’s a convenient
threaded adjusting rod on each side
of the cutterhead.
Peace-of-Mind Protection
METALERT® II is a new generation
electronic metal detector that gives
you a five-year guarantee against
cutter-head “blowups” caused by
ferrous metals. More important, it
keeps dangerous bits of iron and steel
out of your feed.
After the metal is removed, the
system resets automatically.
See your Sperry New Holland
dealer and ask to see the new
Model 900. You won’t find a
forage harvester that works as
well for you.
