DRUM BLOCKAGE -- Figures 38 and 39

Should the drum become blocked, proceed as fol-

lows:

1. Lower the concave to its lowest position and try to

unblock by engaging the threshing mechanism at

low engine speed.

2. If this is ineffective, try to unblock the drum by us-

ing the drum socket wrench A (i.e. when the stan-

dard drum variator is fitted).

55025

The drum socket wrench A is located under the

38

fuel tank and is secured with latch B.

cave C is set parallel to drum D (front and rear) with a

clearance X of 10 mm.

Models TX62-63:

The concave clearance X of 10 mm is reached with

the concave setting lever in position 2 on the quad-

rant, i.e. the second highest position.

Models TX64PLUS-65PLUS-66-67-68-68PLUS:

The concave clearance can be read from the In-

foView monitor when the rpm mode is selected. Refer

51786

to paragraph headed ‘‘InfoView monitor’’.

4-28

SECTION 4

This concave setting will be satisfactory for most ce-

real crops. However, if greater threshing action is

needed, the clearance at the rear can be reduced to 8

mm.

When harvesting maize, concave C can be set to a

clearance of 25 mm at the second (2) concave bar

and 30 mm at the eighth (8) concave bar.

For models TX62 and 63, this is measured with the

concave setting lever in position 7 on the quadrant.

FIELD OPERATION

Changing the concave clearance mechanically --

Figures 41 and 42

To change the concave clearance at the front or at the

rear, adjust nuts E on both sides of the combine.

Figure 41: Right-hand side - Front adjustment.

Figure 42: Left-hand side - Rear adjustment.

55022

Check the clearance on the second and eighth con-

cave bar. To gain access to the concave bar, open

41

covers B.

IMPORTANT:

After carrying out any adjustments to the con-

cave, ensure that the concave bars are set par-

allel to the drum rasp bars.

55024

42

Securing the concave position -- Figures 43 and 44

When harvesting maize, the concave has to be bolted

in position after first adjusting the clearance to 25 mm

at the front and 30 mm at the rear.

Proceed as follows:

1. Models TX62-63

Ensure that the concave setting lever is in position

7 on the quadrant on the operator’s platform.

Models TX64PLUS-65PLUS-66-67-68-68PLUS

Ensure the concave is adjusted until a read-out of

25 mm is obtained on the InfoView monitor.

4-30

SECTION 4

2. Check on the second bar if the 25 mm clearance

and on the eighth bar if the 30 mm clearance is still

valid. If not, adjust mechanically. Refer to the pre-

ceding paragraph.

3.

Figure 43

At the front: Tighten lock nut G completely so that

bushing H presses block J against the frame. Pro-

ceed in the same way on both sides.

4.

Figure 44

55023

At the rear: Remove lock plate K with bolt L.

43

Tighten bolt M completely so that block N is

pressed against the frame. Reinstall lock plate K

and bolt L. Proceed in the same way on both sides.

IMPORTANT:

For operation in cereal crops:

S At the front, lock nut G should not be tight-

ened completely and it should be possible

to turn bushing H freely.

S At the rear, loosen bolt M one turn after

tightening, before installing lock plate K.

In this case, the concave is not bolted in posi-

tion, but it is adjustable with the concave set-

55022

ting lever on the operator’s platform (models

44

TX62-63) or electrically

(models TX64PLUS-

65PLUS-66-67-68-68PLUS).

4-31

FIELD OPERATION

DRUM SPEED REDUCER [if installed] -- Figure 45

Using the reduction gearbox, two speed ranges on

the drum can be obtained:

S From 385 rpm to 1140 rpm (direct drive)

This high speed range is used when harvesting

regular crops (i.e. cereal crops, maize, etc.). To

engage this range, push lever L towards the

gearbox.

S From 190 rpm to 560 rpm

42969

This low speed range is used when harvesting

45

crops with fragile grains (i.e. dry maize, beans,

etc.). To engage this range, pull lever L out-

wards.

NOTE:

When changing speed with lever L, it is impor-

tant to turn the drum variator sheaves manually

to ensure proper engagement of the gears.

DE-AWNING PLATES -- Figures 46 and 47

De-awning plates increase the rubbing action of the

drum and concave when threshing winter barley or

difficult to thresh crops.

Two de-awning plates M are attached to the concave

with hinges and can be locked in position with levers N

and P.

Lever N operates the front de-awning plate and lever

P operates the rear de-awning plate.

42964

46

Only close the rear de-awning plate M if really neces-

sary, as partially closing off the concave inevitably

means loss of capacity.

SECTION 4

DRUM AND CONCAVE TYPE USE

S When harvesting cereals, it is advisable to use a

standard or universal drum and a cereals con-

cave.

S When harvesting maize, a standard or universal

drum and a maize concave should be installed.

S When harvesting rice, a universal drum with peg

tooth bars and a rice concave should be installed.

If needed, the concave and/or universal drum can be

converted for harvesting other crops

(e.g. when

switching from cereals to maize).

Have this job carried out by your New Holland dealer.

BEATER

The beater, which runs at 2/3 of the drum speed, is ac-

cessible through the inspection opening S in the grain

tank.

The beater can be equipped with either:

S

5 adjustable stripper plates for cereals, or

S

5 toothed bars for maize, or

S

10 toothed bars for rice

To change from one equipment to another, remove

bolts W (Fig. 48), change the equipment and reinstall

bolts W.

ADJUSTABLE STRIPPER PLATES -- Figure 48

w

w

For correct adjustment of the beater stripper plates,

the beater drive belt has to be removed.

Adjust the plates T by loosening bolts U and setting

the stripper plates as close as possible to the drum

rasp bars without touching them.

When carrying out this job, first search for the closest

rasp bar. Retighten bolts U.

MULTI-THRESH SYSTEM -- Figures 50 to 52

With the multi-thresh system the beater and rotary

separator concaves can be set in two positions.

Closed position (1): Lever P forwards.

This position is recommended for all crops as the rub-

bing effect is high.

Open position (2): Lever P rearwards.

In this position the rubbing is less aggressive which is

recommended in brittle straw and rape seed.

If necessary, reduce the combining speed to avoid

grain losses.

55026

50

Secure lever P with latch Q.

For maize:

Set the concaves in closed position and tighten nuts R

and S on both sides.

For cereals:

Loosen nuts R and S half a turn after tightening, so the

concaves are adjustable with lever P.

FIELD OPERATION

ROTARY SEPARATOR

ROTARY SEPARATOR SPEED -- Figures 53 and 54

The rotary separator is driven by pulley V which has a

C

double groove for an alternative speed:

S

760 rpm is the factory-set speed which is suit-

able for most crops such as barley, oats, rye,

wheat, rice, grass seed, etc.

S

400 rpm is for harvesting maize, beans, peas,

V

soya, sunflower, oil seed rape, etc.

To change the speed, proceed as follows:

40843

1. Move lever A out of hook B and upwards.

53

This will move the idler C downwards and loosen

the belt tension.

2. Install the belt in the other grooves of both pulleys.

3. Move lever A downwards and secure the lever in

hook B as shown.

4. Check the belt tension and adjust, if necessary

(refer to Section 5 - ADJUSTMENTS AND MAIN-

TENANCE, paragraph headed

‘‘Belts and

chains’’).

The rotary separator is accessible through the cover

which is situated underneath the grain tank.

CONCAVE POSITION

Refer to paragraph headed ‘‘Multi-thresh system’’.

54

STRAW FLOW BEATER [if installed] -- Figure 55

The function of the Straw Flow beater L is to improve

the combine throughput capacity in specific condi-

tions (heavy green, damp straw).

On combines equipped with a Straw Flow beater L

and operating in severe crop conditions (very dry or

brittle), the rotary separator M, and so the Straw Flow

beater L, can be set on low rpm speed (400 rpm) if the

straw breaks up too easily.

30217

55

4-36

SECTION 4

STRAW RETARDING CURTAIN -- Figures 56 and 57

A straw retarding curtain G is positioned at the rear of

the rotary separator and above the straw walkers to

prevent the grain from being thrown out of the com-

bine by the rotary separator.

Curtain G can be raised with chain H to improve the

material flow in heavy crop conditions.

20947

56

20926

57

CLEANING SHOE -- Figure 58

The complete cleaning shoe, consisting of shaker

shoes with sieves, cleaning fan and returns system, is

driven by belt A. The drive pulley has a double groove

for an alternative speed of the cleaning shoe drive:

S

600 rpm (groove B) is the factory-set speed

which is suitable for most crops.

S

540 rpm (groove C) is for harvesting brittle

crops and all kinds of small seeds (rape seed,

grass seed, sunflower, etc.)

FIELD OPERATION

SIEVES

SIEVE OPENINGS -- Figures 59 and 60

Adjust the opening of the presieve, according to the

grain size, with the lever on the right-hand side of the

sieve which is accessible after removing cover H.

The 6 mm opening is the recommended position for

most cereal crops and sunflower.

When operating in damp conditions, a larger opening

(9 or 12 mm) can be recommended to avoid plugging

of the presieve.

55027

For small seeds, a 3 mm position can be chosen.

59

For high moisture maize, a presieve is available as an

accessory.

Adjust the openings of the upper and lower sieve, ac-

cording to the grain size, with the levers at the rear of

the sieves. Operate with the sieves open as wide as

possible, consistent with producing a clean sample.

The lower sieve is equipped with a sieve opening indi-

cator J.

The rear part of the upper sieve can be adjusted sepa-

rately. It may be necessary for the rear part to be

opened a few millimetres more than the upper sieve

opening to prevent loss of the returns, particularly

when harvesting wheat.

When harvesting maize, keep the upper sieve closed

as much as possible to sieve all the grain and to pre-

42966

vent the maize cobs from passing through the sieve

60

and entering the grain tank.

SIEVE POSITION

The upper sieve is normally fitted in the lower position.

The upper position is recommended when harvesting

maize.

The lower sieve is set at the factory in the lower

position. The upper position can be used if a higher

capacity with less clean grain sample is required.

4-38

SECTION 4

SIEVE REMOVAL -- Figures 61 to 63

1. Remove bolts J on both sides and remove the up-

per sieve.

On models TX66-67-TX68-TX68PLUS, the upper

sieve consists of two sieve halves.

2. Open cover K , remove bolts L and remove the

lower sieve. Adjust the sieve position by hand if the

grain loss sensor prevents the removal of the

sieve.

On models TX66-67-TX68-TX68PLUS, the lower

sieve consists of two sieve halves.

20946

3. Remove bolts M and take out the presieve.

With the rpm mode selected, the following information

will be provided:

3.1

Engine load bargraph A -- Figure 89

The bargraph segments light up proportionally to the

measured engine speed. All segments light up with

the engine at maximum speed (without load).

Maximum engine speed minus 5%:

Engine bargraph lower segment and symbol R start to

blink.

Maximum engine speed minus 10%:

54770

Engine symbol R blinks and bargraph is empty.

89

3.2

Performance bargraph B -- Figure 90

Two bargraphs are provided for displaying the sieves

S and straw walker T losses.

The bargraph segments light up proportionally to the

losses and to the potentiometer X setting (sensitivity).

The potentiometer setting is displayed from 1 to 10

above the bargraphs: the higher the number, the high-

er the sensitivity.

To set the combine performance monitor, proceed as

follows:

54771

1. Engage the threshing and the header drive.

2. Engage the first or second gear and enter the

crop.

3. Adjust the reel height, the reel fore and aft setting

and the reel speed, according to the type of crop

being harvested.

FIELD OPERATION

4 -- AREA COUNTER MODE -- Figure 95

The area counter mode as well as the rpm mode is

used during field operation to control the different

combining parameters described below.

NOTE:

In the area counter mode the engine load bar-

graph A and the performance bargraph B (or

returns capacity bargraph) are displayed as

well.

Refer to paragraphs 3.1 to 3.3.

Press

to switch from rpm to area counter

mode, or vice versa.

4.2

Area count G -- Figure 97

This counter shows the area which has been har-

vested since the area counter mode was last cleared

(Refer to paragraph 5 ‘‘Memory mode’’).

The area counter starts counting when:

S The threshing mechanism is engaged,

and

S The header drive is engaged,

and

S The header height is below the height cal-

ibration value (refer to paragraph ‘‘Cal-

ibration’’, subheading 2.6).

54777

97

The monitor will display a ‘‘+’’ symbol N when the area

counter is operating.

IMPORTANT:

The area counter only gives an approximate val-

ue. The accuracy depends on correct calibration

of all parameters (wheel size, header type, ...)

but also on the real cutting width. Never switch

off the battery before switching off the ignition

(with the key). This will avoid the risk of losing the

latest information on area counting.

4.3

Bottom text line L -- Figure 98

With the area counter mode selected, the text line pro-

vides the following information:

a) Header width correction (only when the threshing

and header mechanisms are engaged).

S If the full header width is not used during har-

vesting, an area counter correction has to be

made by pressing

Each pulse (with audible signal) reduces the

header width by one quarter. In case a maize

54778

header is fitted, each pulse reduces the header

width with one row unit).

Error description.

The error reporting system informs the user in dif-

ferent ways:

-- All errors that can be detected when the igni-

tion key is in the ON position, before starting

the engine, are displayed at that moment.

These error reports can be cleared by pressing

or by starting the engine.

-- After starting the engine, the errors with high or

medium importance levels are displayed

whenever they occur (linked to an audible

alarm).

The high priority errors are displayed con-

tinuously as long as the error exists, because

the system cannot function as long as the error

exists.
