Ford New Holland CX6080 Combine Parts
Cx6080 parts and accessories
The Ford New Holland CX6080 combine, manufactured from approximately 2008 onwards, offered a blend of power and efficiency for grain harvesting. Typically boasting around 330 engine HP, these combines could be equipped with headers ranging from 25 to 35 feet, adapting to various field conditions. Known for its conventional threshing system and reliable performance, the CX6080 became a popular choice for farmers seeking a versatile harvesting solution.
The Ford New Holland CX6080 combine, introduced in the late 2000s, was designed to deliver efficient and reliable grain harvesting. Powering the CX6080 is a FPT Industrial (Fiat Powertrain Technologies) engine, typically producing around 330 horsepower with a displacement of approximately 8.7 liters. The CX6080 utilizes a conventional threshing system, featuring a wide threshing cylinder combined with multiple straw walkers for effective grain separation. The grain tank capacity is around 300 bushels, allowing for extended harvesting before unloading. The unloading auger provides a discharge rate of approximately 2.6 bushels per second, ensuring quick and efficient unloading. Available header widths ranged from 25 to 35 feet, accommodating different crop types and field sizes. Chopper and spreader options are available for residue management. The cab is designed for operator comfort with features like air conditioning, adjustable seating, and electronic monitoring systems.

Maintenance Tips
- Concave Adjustment: Regularly inspect and adjust concave clearance according to the crop being harvested to ensure optimal threshing and minimize grain damage.
- Belt and Chain Tension: Check belt and chain tension throughout the harvesting season. Loose belts and chains can lead to reduced efficiency and premature wear.
- Sieve and Chaffer Cleaning: Clean the sieves and chaffer screens frequently to prevent buildup of debris, which can hinder grain separation and increase grain loss.
- Bearing Greasing: Follow the manufacturer's recommended greasing schedule for all bearings to prevent premature failure and maintain smooth operation. Before each season, perform a thorough pre-season inspection, including checking all fluids, filters, and wear parts.
