Ford New Holland CX8-80 Combine Parts
Cx8.80 parts and accessories
The Ford New Holland CX8.80 combine, a powerhouse in the field, was produced to meet the demands of large-scale harvesting operations. Powered by a robust engine, it offered operators a blend of performance and efficiency. Available with header widths suited for various crop types and equipped with a high-capacity rotary separator, the CX8.80 quickly became a favorite for its throughput and grain quality.
The Ford New Holland CX8.80 combine was designed for high-capacity harvesting. Its heart is the FPT Industrial Cursor 9 engine, typically producing around 490 horsepower with a 8.7-liter displacement. This power drives a sophisticated rotary separator system ensuring gentle threshing and minimal grain damage. The spacious grain tank holds approximately 350 bushels, and it can unload at a rate of up to 4.0 bu/second (240 bu/min), minimizing downtime in the field. Operators had a range of header widths to choose from, typically between 30 and 45 feet, allowing for efficient harvesting of various crops. Chopper and spreader options efficiently manage residue, promoting even field distribution. The operator cab features advanced controls and comfortable seating for long days in the field. The CX8.80 excels in harvesting wheat, corn, soybeans, and other small grains.
