2022 John Deere Sugar Cane CH950

Information

2022 John Deere Sugar Cane CH950

Sugar Cane Harvester
  • For row spacing from 4 ft. 7 in. to 4 ft. 11 in. (1.4 to 1.5 m)
  • Redesigned cleaning system reduces cane loss
  • Increased pour rate reduces harvesting cost per ton1
  • Controlled Traffic feature matches tread to row spacing
  • 13.6 L PowerTech™ Engine

Features may include:

Double productivity without increasing speed
  • The John Deere CH9 Series Two-Row Harvester provides double the productivity of a single row-unit in most conditions by harvesting two rows of cane simultaneously at the same speed.
  • Loads wagon in half the time
  • Reduces infield transport requirement by 28 percent
  • Reduces fuel consumption by 30 percent
  • 36 percent fewer operators are needed
  • Functionality:
  • Since the CH9 Series models harvest at the same speed as the single-row units in most conditions, the wagons are loaded in half the time, reducing total infield transport equipment cycle time considerably. In a typical operation, this translates into 50 percent fewer harvesters, 28 percent fewer tractors and wagons, and 36 percent fewer operators required per front while saving 30 percent in fuel. In multi-front operations, this additional harvesting capacity can also be used to decrease the number of fronts by increasing their quotas. Regardless of the solution adopted, the total number of operators, tractors, wagons, and harvesters is reduced significantly.
Improved yield with controlled traffic
  • The CH9 Series tread matches the row spacing so the tracks travel centered on the interrow away from the stubble. By straddling two rows, the center interrow remains untouched, leaving 50 percent of the rows are undisturbed. In addition, the compacted area is reduced by 60 percent, fostering better growing conditions for improved yield and ratoon life.
  • Matching tread to row spacing
  • 60 percent less compacted area
  • Untouched center interrow for 50 percent of rows undisturbed
  • Improves yield and ratoon life
  • 30 to 50 percent cane loss reduction
  • Functionality:
  • By straddling two rows, the center interrow remains untouched so 50 percent of the rows are undisturbed. In addition, the compacted area is reduced by 60 percent. Thanks to better cane growing conditions fostered by the John Deere two-row harvester system, improved yield and ratoon life are expected.
Reduce cane loss with the redesigned cleaning system
  • Wider entry to the primary extractor, less billet contact with the fan, and a 78 percent larger secondary extractor reduce cane loss while maintaining low extraneous matter levels. In addition, only 50 percent of the uncut rows are exposed to contact with the harvester for further loss reduction.
  • Low extraneous matter levels
  • 30 to 50 percent cane loss reduction
  • Operate at low fan rpm to save fuel
  • Functionality:
  • Twice the pour rate of a single-row unit required reengineering of the cleaning system to deliver high-quality cane. The CH9 Series Sugar Cane Harvester optimizes the use of the primary extractor cleaning area with wider entry offered by the longer chopper drums. It is in this first section where most of the trash removal takes place. Relocating the fan further back and tapering the cane inlet greatly contributes to cleaning efficiency and reduced loss.
  • Lower loss is also possible thanks to the higher cane flow that minimizes the risk of billets being pulled away by the fan.
