Hi guys.. We're getting our 1st 8010's... I'm getting several opnions on what to get stocked in our service wagons fo these machines... Any and every little thing to look for would be great. we have 07 and 08 machines.

The tri-sweep belt, we go through 2-3 a year on three 07 8010's. But they cut clean wheat so we don't complain too much. But would like to see a different design here.

Please define a tri-sweep belt. What does it run and why do you break so many?

 

[afxguy]

It's the drive belt for the (tri-sweep) tailings processor. Also one drive belt for the sieves.

 

[bandit]

I'm guessing that the reason we break one a year is because we are running the sieves fairly tight (the settings on the display are 11 for the top and 9 for the bottom. But remember this is just a number and every combine will be calibrated a little different.) and sending a lot of grain through the tri-sweep processor. But the good news is I know we could seed the wheat out of the bulk tank, its that clean. IMO this is the cleanest thrashing machines we have had since the old JD 6602's.

Is your tightener pulley on top running true if the bushings are shot it can cause uneven tension

I have my sieve setting open way more then the books settings and i still have a way cleaner sample then our 88 series machine, knock on wood my 8010s have run well so far. I did have the alternator go out in barley and it fried the ecm but it was still under warranty.. You will love those machines...

how hard was that to change out on the 8010?
we had that on a 2388 2 years ago....and thats not easy to get too...mainly stuff in the way..

 

[cutterihc915]

its looks fairly easy its seems to be very accessable, but the case dealer changed it for me.

 

[afxguy]

Most of the parts are the same between 07 & 08 machines.
If you're really commited to having every little thing, ask your dealer for a copy of their required stocking list for the 8010, and the optional stocking list. Then order one (or more) of everything on those lists.
