John Deere Combines the Evolution

February 17th, 2009 | Tags: , , ,

The John Deere combine is one of the most well-known machines to the farming community. Its versatility is legendary. The vehicle is capable of going through all the necessary processes of the harvest, threshing and crop-cleaning. The first of these processes is done by extracting the whole crop from the soil, after which the yield is threshed, that is, beaten, until the wanted grain or seed yield is separated from the useless parts of the plant and the straw. This can be converted into hay for the cattle or the field.

The anatomy of the John Deere Combine is easily explained. The head is mounted on a removable joint, so that several differing heads used for the different types of crop, such as grain, wheat or corn. This head will sever the crop and transfer it to a threshing cylinder. As the geography of a farm can often provide obstacles to harvesting, certain models are fitted with technology which allows for level harvesting. This makes the John Deere Combine very effective on any terrain, whether it is mountainous, hilly or flat. The hills can be mounted in either direction due to the technology, as well.
There are several different models of John Deere Combines, and newer models with useful technology come out in quick succession. This allows the farmer to take full advantage of the machine. Planting, spraying and tilling of crops are all functions of some of the newer models, and this quick and effective method saves time and yields more crops per hectare. An example is the “Bullet rotor”, where a bullet formed shape of the front of the machine takes advantage of modern inventions to cut the engine and rotor load some slack, and allow for longer durability and maximizes the threshing compartment yields as well as adding space to the overall structure. With all these advantages, the seeds or crops have more space to be correctly sown and distributed.

With the above mentioned technology, formally released in 2006, John Deere Combines have to use one-fifth less of the power of the engine. Whether you are utilizing grain or wheat, this difference is noticeable.

Another arena of progress is the managing of residue. The latest batch of STS John Deere Combines is fitted with the “Power Cast Straw Chopper Tailboard” system. The system allows John Deere Combine owners to alter their residue layers to thin degrees.

The new range of John Deere combines, the STS’s, are a lot faster and more efficient. One of the models in this range is the John Deere Combine 9870 STS. With a 480 HP, it can remain ground velocity. Equipped with the Command Touch Multi-Speed Feederhouse drive, 5 speed drives are utilized to maximize the yield of the 600Cc corn headers, supplying close to half the extra feederhouse. This model also uses a technology for the cleaning process, dubbed DynaFlo II, where the efficiency is optimized by fifteen per cent because of the lengthened sieve-stroke. In other areas, newer models also maximize other function, such as the cleaning of different types of crops like grains. This specialization, aimed at providing farmers with constant crops, will help raise the overall yield for specific crop farms.

A final new technology of the later John Deere Combines has a visual aid system named the Command Center. The activity of the machine and the details of the harvesting process can now be read from seating position, and operators have the ability to manually pick different types of data to be shown, including moisture-levels, extended yield info, and an emergency alarm function.

The John Deere Combines keep on innovating, and you should keep in touch with the new developments if the contents above were of interest to you.
