Round modules

CS770 harvesting cotton

The CS770 helps lower wrap and hauling costs by 12 percent per lint pound through cleaner, denser, and larger diameter round modules. The TamaWrap+™ round module wrap protects your cotton from the harvester to the gin.

• 3 percent denser round modules – The second-generation cotton handling system packs more seed cotton in each round module than the previous model, lowering your yearly wrap costs.
• 2 percent larger diameter round modules – The CS770 updated round module builder allows you to make round modules from 229 cm to 244 cm (90 in. to 96 in.) in diameter. This increase in diameter puts even more cotton in the same portion of module wrap. When adding up wrap cost savings from denser and larger diameter round modules, you enjoy a reduction in wrap and hauling costs up to 12 percent per lint pound.
• Two-point increase in turnout – The three-drum, 190.5-cm (75-in.) wide field cleaner increases turnout by up to two points through increased cleaning, reduced seed cotton loss, and improved cleaning efficiency. Producers will visibly notice more burs, sticks, and plant material removed from the onboard cleaner in the field, which contributes to more seed cotton per module, meaning lower wrap, hauling, and ginning costs.

John Deere knows how important it is for you to get your cotton out of the field to protect its quality. Therefore, 12-row headers were developed that increase transport speeds by 18 percent and reduce the time to wrap and eject a module by 33 percent. All this means you can cover up to an extra 40.5 ha (100 acres) in a 10-hour harvest day.

• Deliver maximum harvesting productivity – The CS770 Cotton Stripper can be equipped with an eight-row, 12-row narrow, or a 12-row wide stripper header. The SH12F wide row stripper header increases productivity up to 48 percent in dryland cotton compared to the CS690 it replaces.
• Increased turnout with the high-capacity cleaner – The three-drum onboard field cleaner removes more burs, sticks, and plant material than the previous cotton stripper. This impressive field cleaner improves cleaning efficiency by 10 percent or more to deliver the cleanest seed cotton to the round module. This field cleaner delivers results that lower wrap cost and reduce hauling and ginning costs.
• Increased throughput with the Generation 2 cotton handling system – The next-generation module handling system cuts the module wrap-eject cycle time by 33 percent from 48 seconds to 32 seconds, allowing you to stay at harvest speed in higher yielding cotton while making every harvest day more productive.
• Transport faster between fields – You and your operators will appreciate the increased transport speed with the ProDrive™ transmission. You can run from field to field at 32.2 km/h (20 mph), an 18 percent increase over the CS690.

The CS770 Cotton Stripper was designed to make you more productive while reducing fuel costs by up to 15 percent per lint pound of seed cotton harvested. Teamed with the engine, the variable pitch reversible fan uses less power, and the updated hydraulic system is more efficient - all contributing to the reduction in fuel usage.

• 15 percent better fuel efficiency per lint pound of seed cotton harvested – Run 12 hours without stopping for fuel and enjoy fuel savings up to 15 percent or more as measured in gallons per lint pound. The John Deere JD14P 13.6L (830-cu in.) engine runs at 1900 rpm during harvest, reducing fuel usage, noise, and wear.
• Reduce cooling power requirements – Variable pitch fan blades automatically adjust to cooling needs, reducing the horsepower needed to cool the radiators. By adjusting the angle of the cooling fan blades, the airflow is reversed to clean the radiators without operator input, keeping you more productive harvesting your crop.
• Dry sump hydraulic system reduces parasitic loss – The updated hydraulic system features a dry sump design that reduces parasitic loss to improve fuel efficiency. Another feature of this system you will appreciate is the ease of checking hydraulic oil level in one location compared to three separate locations on the previous harvester.

Harvest Identification, Cotton Pro run page

Overview

Harvest Identification, Cotton Pro (HID, Cotton Pro) ensures each of your round modules are tracked from the field and the information is available to share with your trusted partners, such as your cotton ginner, seed sales representative, and agronomist. This information also helps with logistics from field to gin.

• View every round module made in your fields – HID, Cotton Pro tracks each round module harvested in your field and provides pertinent information on the HID, Cotton Pro run page. You can easily track moisture and weight for each module and make decisions on when to start and end harvest to protect your cotton quality.
• Add a note to a module with a touch of a button – Adding a note to a module is easier than ever with the touch of a button on the HID, Cotton Pro run page. These notes are documented and shared with the cotton gin when your HID, Cotton Pro data is shared from John Deere Operations Center.
• Easily view module attributes with John Deere Operations Center™ – John Deere offers multiple tools to manage, visualize, and share your cotton production systems data in John Deere Operations Center. Utilize the Analyze tool to view and export a macro-level spreadsheet of your recent and historical harvest data. Field Analyzer is your tool to dig deeper and view high-resolution yield data and HID, Cotton Pro data where each module is displayed in its creation location in each field along with weight and moisture information.
