- A range of high-output machines: four models for wide vines, one model for medium-width vines and one model for very vigorous vines and for olive harvesting.

- The best harvest quality with a best-in-class destemmer: petiole removal is increased by 20% for a 100% premium grape harvest.

- New electronically managed 6 and 4-cylinder Fiat Power Train common rail engine with a new intelligent management system, the IMS "Intelligent Management System". Fuel savings of more than 35%.

- A new cab that is more spacious, quieter and meets the strictest safety standards. It includes an inclinometer, an automatic side-slope and height correction system, and the new Intelliview™ III monitor with touchscreen. Comfort, visibility, safety and ease of adjustment and control are increased (or improved).

After 35 years of excellence and innovation, New Holland is once again revolutionizing the world of grape harvesters with the launch of a new range of 6 models, offering professionals a new vineyard management tool.

The best harvest quality

Since the launch of the first grape harvester in 1975, BRAUD machines have been synonymous with harvest quality. Today the new BRAUD 9000 series builds on this DNA, made up of: the SDC shaking system with flexible rods, the Noria, a high-performance, truly versatile carrier, and new features including wider conveyors and new extractors, which improve cleaning, as well as the best on-board destemmer-separator. This offers wine producers committed to quality a complete, cutting-edge and easy-to-use tool.

More power, more performance and lower fuel consumption.

The choice of the new 4 and 6-cylinder electronically managed Fiat Power Train common rail engines, 100% biodiesel compatible, with a power range between 141 ch and 175 ch, combined with the IMS, gives the new machines unmatched performance and fuel savings.

The IMS (intelligent management system), which won a Silver Medal at SITEVI 2009, continuously adjusts engine speed according to the power required, which reduces fuel consumption by 35% on average.

For example, at the end of a row, when the operator switches off the shaking system and the extractors, the engine speed drops automatically, which saves fuel.

In addition to these new power performances, there is a new Anti-Skid hydraulic transmission, which provides more traction in difficult conditions.

The best comfort and enhanced safety

The new cabs are suspended, soundproofed, ventilated, pressurized, sealed, air-conditioned and heated as standard.

The cab structure and the self-propelled chassis have been reinforced in accordance with the new European directive "European Machinery Directive" 2006/42/CE. The strictest method, code 4, has been applied. The cab is equipped with a seat belt, an extinguisher holder, a glass-breaking hammer and an electronic presence sensor.

The new steering column, half as wide as the previous one, increases the operator's visibility. In addition, a new seat gives the operator first-class comfort, making it possible to face long working days with peace of mind.

Ease of adjustment and control

The IntelliviewTM III touchscreen monitor displays and adjusts all the machine's functions through different pages that the operator can customize.

It is ISO BUS compatible and can be used to operate a range of versatility tools and sprayers.

This eliminates the need for an additional control system and reduces the time needed to switch from one function to another.

Integrated into the armrest, the new multifunction handle controls all operations. It controls: forward travel, manual side-slope and height, the harvesting head and the versatility tools.

Reduced washing time and easier maintenance

The design of the new harvesting head of the 9000L series reduces washing time by 30%. To reduce water consumption by 30% and cut washing time, a semi-automatic washing system is also available as an option.

All the harvesting head's greasing points are grouped on a single plate. An automatic greasing system is available as an option.

The service interval increases from 400 to 600 hours.
