C120 combine is equipped with heavy-duty final drives, which are rugged to handle toughest conditions, and strong enough to match the wide 28l-26 tires. This combination provides superior traction and less compaction in all harvesting environments.
C120 offers a simple and easy operator interface, which allows operators to easily operate the combines and understand the combine operating status at one glance.
A multifunction lever gives the operator total command of the combine, allowing control of the header height, reel position, unloading auger position, travel direction and speed.
PDU display provides an excellent and efficient operating experience by having major combine information in one single location with a friendly interface. In addition to the main combine information such as engine rpm, travel speed, engine load, fuel level, engine coolant temperature, combine harvesting performance, etc, warning messages with error codes would pop up in the display to avoid any potential costly damages, when the system detects any errors.
To ensure the combine can keep up with fast harvest speeds and high-yield crops, the manually adjustable cleaning shoe features a large adjustable chaffer and a larger sieve, with a total cleaning area of 3.39 m² (36.5 sq ft) to deliver more capacity and clean most crops.
Besides the fan, the combine has two additional basic components that make up the cleaning unit. One component is the chaffer, mounted in the upper shoe; the other is the sieve, mounted in the lower shoe. The entire cleaning shoe takes reciprocating action in which the chaffer and sieve move in opposite directions from each other. This design provides superior cleaning capacity to match the high throughput of the separator.
The C120 Combine has best-in-class performance which originated from the time-tested John Deere CTS technology. The solution offers the optimal results in various crops and conditions.
The C120 Combine is designed with a large 610 mm (24 in.) diameter threshing cylinder, (2) beaters and (1) cylinder tine separation system.
The large threshing cylinder, large concave and wrap angle promotes gentle threshing and separation, and they make it easy to strike the balance between increasing threshing capacity and minimizing grain damage.
A small-diameter, smooth-surfaced beater and a large diameter winged beater strip material from the cylinder and rapidly move the wide mat of crop material into the dynamically balanced tine separator. With options of specially designed beaters and drives to handle extremely dry and brittle grains, the system could further improve grain quality when needed.
The 3414 mm (134 in.) long tine separator ensures efficient separation of residual grains at highest throughput. With the choices of three different rotor speeds, the system could guarantee high throughput and the best threshing and separation performance in various crops and conditions.
