John Deere presents the S-Series Combines 16 and 18, wider 600 series Corn Heads with flexible draper platforms to maximise harvest productivity. The S-Series Combines are the new Class 9 machine with five models included.
"The S-Series achieves this efficiency by harnessing technology, as well as matching the capacity of the combine with that of John Deere's new header equipment,” says Roger Maes, Marketing Manager, John Deere Harvester Works.
“This series features cleaner-burning, fuel efficient engines while increasing overall combine capacity to provide a powerful harvesting package.”
The S-Series Combines cleaning system has been redesigned with newly engineered cleaning shoe, which delivers 33% increased capacity. The corn heads also offer a Variable Stream option, which helps improve straw quality in rice and high-yielding small grains with tough, dense straw.
To add more productivity to the field, John Deere introduces the 600 Series Corn Heads with 16 and 18 row heads.
“Customers have expressed their desire for larger corn heads,” says Josh Herting, product manager, John Deere Harvester Works.
“Our broad 600 Series line, including 16- and 18-row corn heads, will allow them to match capacity with their larger combines.”
The 600 Series StalkMaster heads feature row-unit chopping disconnects, which allow the chopping feature to be disengaged on-the-go, as well as improved header height control. The corn heads also feature the 600FD HydraFlex Draper, which allows the S-Series Combines to be more productive, cover faster ground speeds, especially when harvesting soybeans.
The John Deere S-Series Combines with 16 and 18, 600 series corn heads, are ideal for producers and agricultural service providers that demand a combine with exceptional harvest power, grain-handling performance and field productivity. The S-Series Combines, and the five included models, will be available for the 2012 harvest season.
