Taken as a whole, the John Deere CH570 CH670 Sugar Cane Harvester Operator Manual works on two levels. The first is the cab: how the topper, crop dividers, knockdown rollers, base cutter, feed rollers, chopper, extractors and elevator all interact, what each armrest switch does, how the GreenStar 3 2630 pages are configured, and how the floating crop divider and contour base cutter height control systems are calibrated and operated. The second is the service bench: what fluid goes in which compartment, how much of it, at what torque the hardware is tightened, how often each bearing and pivot is greased, and how to read the diagnostic trouble codes when a warning appears.

What This Manual Lets You Do

The CH570 and CH670 are specialised machines with a long list of wear points — base cutter blades, chopper blades and timing, elevator chain tension and wear strips, extractor fan balance, crop divider scrolls, knockdown roller tilts and track tension. This manual gives you the published adjustment figures and the published procedures for all of them, rather than a workshop guess.

It also contains the complete lubrication and maintenance interval charts, broken down by hours, so nothing gets missed between harvests — including the first 100-hour service, which is where most machines either get set up properly or don’t.

Diagnostic and calibration content is included: diagnostic trouble code access and priorities, plus calibration procedures for base cutter height, crop divider positions and pressures, hydro handle position, steering wheel position, primary extractor and varitorque.
