Id like to know whats new on the pro 600..hopefully on a planter the boundry function will work and id really like if they renamed that button on the main page from performace to.....Summary..

8010 has always had a variation of hydraulic drive rotary air screen, unlike the 7010. If it is the elevator drive chain tensioner you are refering to, it was a running change back in '07. What is changed on reverser?? That is done thru cvt.

 

[blueleaf]

I belive one of the changes on the Pro 600 is the ability to upload your farm and paddock co-ordinates direct from Google Earth. What this enables you to do not sure, i presume it will allow you to use it to form things like A+ Heading and RTK etc. If i find some more info i will post it.
I don't think they will change Performance to Summary, due to the inter-change between Header and Tractor as there is different information to gather from this.

 

[mx270a]

Trying to create A+ headings in google earth isn't going to work very well, if you could even consider it good enough to use. Their images just aren't geo-referenced accurately enough to create a heading with the precision we need.

Using google earth images as background images for your fields might be what they're working on, or being able to export coverage data to KML for viewing in google earth. Just some speculation on my part.

Lance,

I reckon your probably pretty close to mark with your post.

Look forward to see what Scott comes up with

 

[casefarmer]

thanks

Scott:

Will the upgrades in the Pro 600 be where they will fit into the 2008 Pro 600. I never was able to use auto steer with Wass?

 

[scott]

pro 600 monitor, software version 32 is the new version, have had a day of classes on, will finish in morn, have a case rep from racine sitting nex to me, will hopefully have answers this weekend, didn't realize capabilities of the pro 600, we will be getting into receivers in morn, hope this helps instead of creating more questions, scott.

 

[scott]

8120 changes, as i posted earlier single feeder chain, connector links are a welded bolts on connector that comes thru chain, put other connector on and self locking nuts, chains are 557 chain, we should be able to use new connectors on older machines, git away from clips that fall out due to top nylon strips that wear and catch connectors. feeder house is deeper, front drum larger and heavy support shaft that runs thru drum, some of these were running changes, two new machines 7120 has a waste gate on turbo, 8120 does not. Modules, round bar, new to me until today, help hairpinning in high moisture corn.

 

[scott]

yes feeder reverser was a running change in 07, bigger charge pump to give us more gallons to system so we don't have control pressure issues, access doors on right hand side of hopper to access clean grain top shaft to change elevator speed and chain, heavy lift cylinders, track options thru case, have to have mud hogs, single or two speed option for rwa, weight kit optional for rear axle couldn't git an answer when this was implemented

 

[scott]

Now for the dumbest thing I have seen in my life, ac belt DOES NOT HAVE A TIGHTNER, CASE IVECO, HAS A TOOL YOU PUT OVER A/C CLUTCH AND FORCE OVER, one shot deal, throw belt away and start over if you don't git it to go on right, reason being belt was to tight, takin out brg in compressor, techs are more than a little p'''sed over this, i sure don't see this lasting very long, other than that I think we will have a screamin red machine, racine is listening to you folks, unloading auger, wellll not much changed yet, will keep you folks posted, scott.

 

[scott]

power issues that have been asked in past posts, bolts can come loose on cam and git engine out of time, along with stator ring that puts injectors out of time, have a engine we will git our hands on where this will be addressed tomorrow, have racines ear, rare instances, we are learnin and listening, scott.

 

[casefarmer]

There listening.....so the feeder house issues are cured and faster unloading rates and a auger that doesn't dribbile is comeing

 

[scott]

unloader rates i don't believe have changed, unloader dribbling, not yet, feeder i sure hope has been cured, its been a pain for you folks as well as techs, if you gonna take feeder chain out, not gonna be fun gonna be heavy as h''l, reminds me of changing a chain in a 9600 jd

 

[midwest]

Scott..........as long as you have that guy from CIH sitting next to you....ask him why a Pro 600 doesn't use an implement switch or why you can't use an implement switch with it?

 

[torn]

not sure what class you're in Scott, but the upcoming software is v21, not v32

Pro600 can't use an implement switch because there is no available input for a generic analog switch. The work switch input would have to be on the CAN bus.

 

[scott]

our software version for combines, i should have made that clear, thats what i'm trying to git info for you folks, lots of issues and upgrades, don't know where we will go, i'm sure it will be great, try and give you folks answers over weekend, like i said before racine boys will git me answer i can pass onto you. we are into combines, having lots of hands on, things like this is what we need to pass on and will do.

 

[torn]

the next Pro600 software version for ALL vehicles, including combines, is v21.

 

[casefarmer]

well do me a favor and tell them congrats on finally putting a header lock on the side of the throat of the combine and not haveing to climb underneath it and lock the two boomers....

i can't wait for that on our 6088.... im not sure why back in the 80's they didn't make everyone put that on there combines..

it could have saved several lives.... it sure looks complicated so i can see why it took 32 years...
