Description
Explore the 567-bushel grain tank on the New Holland CR11 combine and see how its inboard elevator head and centered bubble-up auger maximize usable capacity. This walkthrough explains the yield sensor, five grain-level sensors, IntelliView 12 fill estimates, adjustable cross-auger covers, and the six-bushel-per-second unloading system.

Common questions covered in this video:
How much grain does the CR11 grain tank hold? The stated capacity is 567 bushels.
Why is the clean-grain elevator head mounted inboard? Moving it inboard creates room to extend the grain-tank sidewall and increase storage volume.
How does the tank fill evenly? The bubble-up auger is positioned to discharge near the center, helping use the full grain-tank volume.
Where is the yield sensor? The impact-plate yield sensor is located at the elevator head inside the grain tank and is exposed for service and diagnostics.
What do the five grain-level sensors do? Physical sensors identify approximately 5%, 25%, 75%, and 100% fill levels, while an additional rear sensor helps indicate full capacity when the combine is traveling uphill or downhill.
Why is there a sensor at approximately 5%? It confirms that grain is present so the machine can prevent the grain-tank covers from folding until the tank is empty.
How are fill percentages between the physical sensors calculated? The combine uses yield-sensor data to estimate intermediate percentages shown on the IntelliView 12 display.
How fast does the CR11 unload? With both cross augers engaged, the video states approximately six bushels per second and a typical full-tank unload time of roughly 90–120 seconds.
How is the unload rate adjusted? Raise or lower the cross-auger covers using their pin-and-hole positions, following the operator's manual recommendation for the crop.
