Ford New Holland CS640 Combine Parts

Cs640 parts and accessories

The Ford New Holland CS640 combine, produced in the late 1990s, was a popular choice for farmers needing a reliable and versatile machine. Powered by a robust engine delivering around 200 HP, it could handle various crops with header widths up to 30 feet. Its conventional separator design provided efficient threshing and separation, making it a dependable workhorse in the field.

The Ford New Holland CS640 was introduced to the market as part of the CS series, building upon the legacy of Ford New Holland combines. Production years ranged from approximately 1997 to 2000, though specific year ranges may vary by region. It was typically powered by a Genesis diesel engine, offering around 180-220 horsepower with a displacement of around 7.5 liters. The CS640 utilized a conventional threshing system with a large threshing cylinder (typically 49-52 inches wide) and a multi-walker straw walker system for effective separation. The grain tank capacity was approximately 220-250 bushels, with an unloading auger speed of around 40-50 bushels per minute. Available header widths ranged from 15 to 30 feet, catering to different field sizes and crop types. Options included straw choppers and spreaders for residue management. The cab offered improved comfort and visibility compared to older models, enhancing operator productivity. The CS640 proved particularly effective in harvesting wheat, soybeans, and corn, offering a balance of performance and reliability.

Maintenance Tips

Concave Adjustment: Regularly check and adjust concave clearance to optimize threshing efficiency and minimize grain damage. Follow manufacturer recommendations for specific crop types.
Belt and Chain Tension: Inspect belt and chain tension frequently, especially during harvest. Loose belts and chains can cause slippage, reduce performance, and lead to premature wear.
Sieve and Chaffer Cleaning: Clean sieves and chaffers daily to prevent plugging and ensure proper grain separation. Use compressed air to remove debris and check for any damage.
Bearing Greasing: Grease all bearings according to the recommended schedule. Proper lubrication is crucial for extending bearing life and preventing costly breakdowns.
