Ford New Holland CR980 Combine Parts

Cr980 parts and accessories

The Ford New Holland CR980 combine, produced from the late 1990s into the early 2000s, was a powerful and high-capacity machine favored for its harvesting efficiency. Equipped with engines up to 360 HP and accommodating wide headers, the CR980 featured a rotary separator known for its gentle grain handling and high throughput. Farmers appreciated the CR980 for its reliability and ability to tackle demanding harvesting conditions.

The Ford New Holland CR980 was a flagship combine model introduced in the late 1990s and continued production into the early 2000s. It was designed to deliver high throughput and grain quality. The CR980 typically featured a Cummins or Iveco diesel engine, producing around 360 horsepower with a displacement around 8.3 liters. The combine utilized a Twin Rotor separator system, designed for efficient threshing and separation, minimizing grain loss, and handling diverse crops. Grain tank capacity was approximately 300 bushels. The unloading auger could empty the tank at a rate of around 3 bushels per second or 180 bu/min. Available header widths ranged from 30 to 40 feet, depending on the crop and harvesting conditions. Chopper and spreader options were available to manage crop residue. The cab was designed for operator comfort, featuring air conditioning, adjustable seating, and advanced monitoring systems. The CR980 excelled in harvesting wheat, corn, soybeans, and other small grains due to its high capacity and gentle grain handling capabilities.
