The New Holland FX48 is a self-propelled forage harvester from New Holland’s FX 8 Series, designed for high-efficiency forage and silage harvesting. It combines crop pickup, feeding, chopping, and discharge into one self-propelled machine, allowing harvested material to be processed efficiently and transferred directly into a trailer or collection vehicle.
The FX48 is suitable for forage crops such as maize and grass, depending on the installed header. Its large agricultural tires, enclosed operator cabin, powerful engine system, and dedicated forage-chopping equipment make it suitable for demanding harvesting operations. The machine can be equipped with different headers, meaning the exact harvesting configuration can vary between individual units. New Holland’s official parts catalog confirms the FX48 as a self-propelled forage harvester in the FX 8 Series, produced from 09/1998 to 12/2003.
