Ford New Holland CR6-80 Combine Parts
Cr6.80 parts and accessories
The Ford New Holland CR6.80 combine, primarily manufactured in the early to mid-2010s, offered a blend of power and efficiency for grain harvesting. Typically boasting around 360 HP, the CR6.80 could be equipped with headers ranging from 30 to 40 feet, making it a versatile choice for various field sizes. This rotary combine quickly became popular with farmers due to its high throughput and relatively simple design.
The Ford New Holland CR6.80 combine was introduced as part of the CR series, known for its rotary threshing and separation technology. Produced approximately from 2011 to 2016, it offered a significant step up in capacity and performance compared to earlier models. The CR6.80 is powered by a FPT Industrial Cursor 9 engine, a 8.7-liter (531 cu in) inline 6-cylinder diesel engine producing approximately 360 horsepower. This robust engine provides ample power for demanding harvesting conditions. The heart of the CR6.80 is its Twin Rotor design, enhancing threshing and separation efficiency. The grain tank boasts a capacity of around 315 bushels, allowing for extended operation before unloading. The unloading auger has a discharge rate of approximately 3.3 bushels per second (around 200 bu/min), minimizing downtime. Header widths are variable, usually in the 30-40 foot range, depending on the crop and conditions. It also offered optional chopper and spreader packages for efficient residue management. The CR6.80's cab provided a comfortable and technologically advanced workspace, including features like auto-guidance and yield monitoring systems. This combine excels in harvesting a variety of crops, including wheat, corn, soybeans, and canola, offering consistent performance across diverse conditions.
