Maintenance

A less complicated machine means less maintenance, fewer repairs and an earlier start to your day during one of the busiest times of the year.

Other features that simplify maintenance, besides the simple drive, which is limited to as few as eleven belts and three drive chains, include:

 

 
  • Side panels are designed for easy opening for quick inspection and maintenance.
  • The 160-gallon (605 L) fuel tank on the Model 660B and 670B, and 230-gallon (870 L) tank on the 680B holds plenty of fuel for a day or more of continuous operation.
  • Batteries are mounted at ground level for easy access and maintenance.
  • A moveable telescopic work light with a magnetic base and a quick connector provides light while servicing the combine. Three 12-volt power ports are strategically located around the combine to provide power where it’s needed.
  • Full-width service handle grips allow easy access to the front exterior of the cab for cleaning the windshield.
  • Grease fitting banks are used wherever it is feasible to reduce service time and increase reliability. Optional factory-installed Auto-Lube further reduces maintenance requirements and ensures against premature wear.
  • Removable panels provide easy access to both sides of the rotor for routine inspections or changes in the configuration.
  • All fuse panels and electronics are located inside the cab, where they are protected from dirt and debris, as well damage by rodents.
  • The batteries are accessible from ground level for easy access and maintenance.
  • An integral light in the cleaning shoe area allows you to check or adjust the cleaning shoe any time of the day or night.
  • The hydraulically driven rotary screen swings outward and the hydraulic oil cooler swings up with the help of gas-assist cylinders for easy access to the radiator cores. 
  •  The cab air filter has been relocated next to the cab door, where it is more easily accessible. Yet, it still keeps the dirt and debris outside the cab during filter changes
