A REVOLUTION IN MODERN COTTON PICKING
Introducing a major revolution in modern-day cotton harvesting from Case IH: Module Express™ 635, the first cotton picker with on-board module building. Module Express 635 picks cotton at maximum efficiency and simultaneously builds ginner-friendly cotton modules, dramatically reducing a cotton producer's equipment and labor investment while streamlining the harvest process.

AT THE HEART OF THE MODULE EXPRESS 635 IS THE CASE IH MODULE-BUILDING CHAMBER
The module-building chamber is designed to vertically pack a transportable module with no exterior twine or plastic to worry about. A single operator runs one machine that goes from boll to module in one single step.
|
AUTOMATIC INTELLIGENT AUGER PACKING SYSTEM
The Case IH module-building chamber incorporates a patented system of sensors and augers to move cotton automatically as the module is being compressed. It creates consistent, rectangular modules for excellent weatherability and ginning. And the modules are purposely sized to maximize gin-feeding rates without adding any alterations or expenses.
|
STANDARD "HALF" MODULES
At 8 ft. x 8 ft. x 16 ft. (2 m x 2 m x 5 m), the modules produced by the Module Express 625 are the same height and width as a standard module but half the length. These 16-ft. (5-m) “half” modules load and unload individually, yet two fit into a standard module truck like one traditional 32-ft. (10-m) module.
|
NO TWINE, NO PLASTIC
The whole idea of new technology should be to maximize productivity without added expense. That's why Case IH modules are purposely sized to maximize gin-feeding rates without any modifications at the gin. And because there isn’t any plastic wrap or twine to buy or dispose of, it can't contaminate finished bales.

COMPLETE INFORMATION AND CONTROL FROM THE CAB
AFS PRO 700 MONITOR
The AFS Pro 700 Monitor brings enhanced processing speed, reduced overall size, and many other new featured that are all designed to increase productivity, profitability and help maximize your farms' potential. By tracking percent full, module weight and bales per acre, you can easily plan drop-off points around the field that can be conveniently accessed for loading onto module trucks.
|
Module Monitor
The module monitor provides operation status and percent full. In the majority of field length and yield possibilities, the Module Express 625 will be on a field end when the module is between 90 and 125 percent of normal size and ready to unload. This minimizes handling of the modules — the module truck picks up the module right where it is unloaded.
A 7-in. (18-cm), flat-screen, color LCD video monitor provides two camera views — in the module chamber and a rear view behind the machine.

TWO-SIDED DROM FOR MAXIMUM PICKING EFFICIENCY
BECAUSE COTTON PLANTS HAVE TWO SIDES, SO WHY NOT PICK BOTH?
Maximize your yield and profit by picking more cotton from both sides of the row. Get the most through plant pepentration and picking effiency - more than an in-line drum that picks only from one side.
EXTENDA-WEAR PLUS SPINDLES
The Module Express 625 Cotton Picker features Extenda-Wear Plus™ spindles with a superior barb pattern of three rows of fourteen barbs. The first three barbs in each row are cut at a 30-degree angle to pick efficiently and help the cotton easily move off the spindle during the doffing process. For more efficient picking, the last 11 barbs are cut at a 45-degree angle. Extenda-Wear Plus spindles have 90-micron chrome thickness to provide you with maximum durability.

DESIGNED TO WORK HARD ALL DAY, DAY AFTER DAY, SEASON AFTER SEASON
The designed-for-simplicity service features on the Module Express make it easy to do routine maintenance that helps ensure productivity for years to come.
|
EXTRA-LARGE TANKS, AUTOMATIC LUBE
With its 200-gal. (757-L) fuel tank, 365-gal. (1,381-L) water solution tank and an 80-gal. (303-L) bar lube tank, the Module Express 625 can pick all day on just one fill-up. And its standard automatic lube system runs for 16 minutes every fan hour — saving an hour from your daily service routine.
Metered lubrication to drum gears, cam tracks, rollers, drum lift arms and fan bearings provides reliability of components and delivers a metered amount of grease to each component automatically.
|
DESIGNED FOR SERVICEABILITY
For all its advanced features and enhanced productivity, the Module Express 625 actually requires less daily maintenance than a traditional basket picker. The two-function service tether allows the operator to easily perform service at ground level.
No need for hand cranks – the Module Express 625 features a simple, hydraulic drum-spread providing full access to the two-sided drums or drum rotation at the touch of a button. And Case IH engineers added on-board module building functionality without requiring any additional service needs.
|
EVEN IN TOUGH FIELD CONDITIONS
Case IH engineers paid special attention to balance, weight distribution and floatation when designing the Module Express pickers to keep ground pressure low. 500/95–32 R1.5 dual-drive tires are used up front for high flotation, with large 23.5–26 steering tires on the powered rear axle.
|
THE BALANCE OF POWER
A longer chassis also contributes to balance, and combined with the powerful engine, a three-speed hydrostatic transmission and all-wheel-drive, the Module Express 625 can harvest in difficult conditions as easily as it does on dry ground.
Along with the high-flotation dual tires, these design features make the Module Express 625 one brawny performer that's remarkably light on its feet.
