zoochy300 Z Currently run 9600's and a 2388 and looking to get something bigger and a little more productive. Would like to stick with a conventional as we have a fair amount of cattle so need the straw. Looking at cx8080's just wanting the good the bad and the ugly with them and also what to look for when looking at them. #1 · Oct 28, 2015 Currently run 9600's and a 2388 and looking to get something bigger and a little more productive.

If the canola gets really dry they tend to crack the seed. Cast cylinder seems to help as you can run it a little slower and not plug as often. Also you need good chopper blades in them or the canola straw will bridge up going into the chopper. Everything else on the combine seems to be well built and fairly easy to maintain. I would suggest to get the big lift cylinders on the feeder house. When looking at used check the concave for a smile the stock ones tend to bend a little in the middle if they have been pushed hard. Otherwise it's just general look over at condition of all the components. I've never ran a cx8080. We had a cx860 and currently run a cx8090 same combine different engine. #3 · Oct 28, 2015 How much bigger would a CX be compared to a 9600 or 2388? In wheat would the 2388 not be almost as big? In Canola the 9600 be similar to a CX or not? #4 · Oct 28, 2015 Ran our cx8090 beside a 9070 for a few years and in wheat it will pull away from it a bit in the heat of th day and a lot once the sun goes down. Never ran beside a 2388 so couldn't tell you. Our tr98 would dance around the neighbors 9610 and our cx860 was 15% bigger then tr98 and cx8090 is 10-15 bigger then that. Of course this is our conditions where horsepower is king. Your results may vary. Show more replies 0 Reply #6 · Oct 29, 2015 (Edited) It's only a class 8 machine I would think is the reason. In good going a cr9090 would out do a cx pretty easily. It would be interesting to have them test it just to see the output. I was at the dealer today and got talking to a new salesman and he was impressed at what the demo cx8090 elevation would do and the quality of the job it was doing. They don't sell many cx combines but everybody who runs one or demos them are quiet surprised at the capacity of the cx. #7 · Nov 1, 2015 (Edited) Very reliable combine, few complaints after 4 years with them now, one at 2000 thresher hours and still going strong. We ran the TX's for 15 years before switching to these in 2011, and they are much improved overall. But; We've run/are running 4 cx8080s and spent a season with a 8090, the 8090 is a much better combine simply on account of the engine, everything else is identical. The dealers won't tell you this though, and most guys opt for the cheaper 8080. That's a mistake which we made. The 8.7 in the 8080 is gutless and shoddily made, I just rebuilt one(used oil from 50hrs onwards) and was not impressed whatsoever with the build quality. Throw-away motor. The 10.3 is a far superior engine in both reliability and power. Night and day difference. The stock 8.7 drops revs easily which slows down the cleaning shoe leading to higher losses. The 8090 with the bigger motor doesn't have that issue. The smaller motor also runs at a higher engine load in most cases vs the 8090. If you are going to run a 8080, get some sort of power module such as a Steinbauer or an ECM tune. Otherwise you're going to find yourself wanting for power nearly all the time if you're pushing a bigger header. We tried one out near the end of this season and will be putting them on all our rigs next year. I think we will start switching out the engines to the 10.3's in the next year or two, pretty simple drop in from the looks of things. Any specific questions feel free to ask, pretty well versed with these machines now. #8 · Nov 1, 2015 We have run a cx 8080 for 4 seasons now, I gotta agree very reliable machine. I can only think of once that we have been stopped to repair anything and that was a 10 min weld job. We have had a few minor issues but nothing that stopped us. I agree some extra horsepower would be great as we are always pushing the limit with this one. We run ours next to a cr 970 and the cx will outperform the cr in every crop other then wheat in the heat of the day. We plant wheat, canola, peas, and barley. The cx is harder on grain that is for sure, we crack a bit more but I don't think it amounts to much. What else can I say, quietest cab I have rode in, good rock trap. The straw quality out of the cx is much better then the cr obviously. Next time we upgrade it will likely be a cx. #9 · Nov 1, 2015 We seed oats canola and barley. And swath everything with a 36' header. Just curious how much more capacity they have compared to the john deeres. How are they for grain loss? #10 · Nov 1, 2015 Thinking you would do at least double of the 9600. Not sure about the 2388. Grain loss is good always seems better then our cr. #11 · Nov 13, 2015 What is bin capacity on a cx8090? #12 · Nov 17, 2015 I reckon a CR will give you just as good a straw if it is set up right, more capacity and go for a bit longer when conditions get tougher, would be worth having a look one in action and seeing what you think. #13 · Sep 28, 2018 Slashnburn we have a cx 8080 that every once in awhile when you try to rev it up the engine starts misfiring and smoking blue and wonâ€™t rev up. Eventually it clears out and revs up but definitely something wrong there. Have you ever had this problem before? We changed fuel filters and checked fuel lines for leaks and all that. #14 · Sep 28, 2018 Slashnburn we have a cx 8080 that every once in awhile when you try to rev it up the engine starts misfiring and smoking blue and wonâ€™t rev up.
