AdBlue usage CR9.90 combine

[Brisel]

I'm fairly new to Ad Blue, running John Deere kit mostly. I will need a small mobile bowser for a new CR9.90. Before I spend lots on a portable bowser I thought I'd see what kind of daily consumption I will need to satisfy. Mostly chopping straw, wheat, osr, spring barley, beans & oats, so assume quite hard work.

Will 220 litres/day be plenty enough? The other Ad Blue machines will fill up in the yard each day so I will have an IBC there. I was thinking of something like this;

Using an AF 9230 AdBlue refill was once every 3 days or so, wasn't an every day thing. Not sure if a brand new combine would have jumped up another engine 'Tier' and use more?

On our 9090 we just bring four small cans in the van to put in every morning. Don't bother with IBCs or separate compartments to bowsers.

Do you refill the cans from an IBC? How do you get them to empty faster? I've found cans to be very slow unless you stab them...

They are designed to be turned completely upside down/vertical. They empty fast and without airlocks that way. (I'm talking about the type of 10litre can you buy from the dealer or petrol station)

Our t4a tractor uses a lot less ad blue than the t4b. Think they've increased ad blue use to reduce emissions.

They have, as it got them there without having to add egr

Just put a small 200 ltr portable ad blue tank in the back of the pick up with electric pump and tow bowser with pick up . be plenty for a day of ad blue I would think .

Yes, refill from an IBC sitting on some pallets. Stopped using the stupid nozzle thing and just pour straight into a funnel.

That's the tank I had when I was running a 9.90

Can't remember exactly how many litres a day it used, but that tank was fine.
In fact, the farm has two CR's now and the tank is still being used.

 

[Bignor Farmer]

S680i uses about 15l/day.

Does the 9.90 have t4b engine? The t4a has ad blue delete software available.

Just remember ad blue is just urea in distilled water a fecking rip off yara make it I do believe . I think you best use the right stuff in a new machine .

Bloody hell £600.00 plus Apm are having folk over at that look on internet bet you could get one for a lot less as you ain't going to be using loads of ad blue May use 300 -400 lts a year I would think a cheapo tank would do .

Got a 16 plate cr8.90. Put about 40 litres in after a long day. Just pour it in with a funnel while the bowser is filling the diesel.

 

[db9go]

We Have a CR8.90 after a long day and chopping 40 litres is about right i would think you could go a least 2 full days with out topping add blue up

 

[yellow belly]

Well cleaned or 20 l drums 3 at a time keeps 9.80 full
Ex fly drums Leave them full of water for a couple months
Have 15 or 20 filled from ibc
Use a bit more if working hard chopping wheat all day

Our t4a tractor uses a lot less ad blue than the t4b. Think they've increased ad blue use to reduce emissions.

If it’s a NH expect the AB consumption to jump between Tier 4 interim and Tier 4 final because FPT engines only use AB to reach the emissions target.

On the other hand Deere and AGCO/Deutz use AB in conjunction with EGR to drop the Nox levels which is why their machines use less AB in the final tier.

Are some of you large-scale operators really carrying drums to a combine and pouring in with a funnel? It does seem that we've come full circle. I thought Diesel only came in Add-F drums as a child.

Difference between 1000l diesel and 40l Ad-blue. It's the diesel that holds us up in the morning not the Ad Blue.
