Why should you upgrade to an X9 combine?

Larger Size, Increased Efficiency
The X9 combines are redesigned to harvest more bushels per hour and more acres per day. The new dual separators and four individual cleaning fans increase the separating capacity and reduce the chance of damaged grain. The larger cleaning shoe, wider feederhouse and body, and other improvements increase the throughput by 40-70%, depending on the crop. The X9 can harvest up to 30 acres an hour in most small grain crops, meaning you'll be done harvest in record time.  Additionally, the increased size of the combine allows for larger front-end equipment, further increasing the capacity and reducing the time it takes to get your crop off.

Reduced Costs
The efficiency improvements on the X9 combines mean less time harvesting, which reduces labour and other overhead costs. The enhanced 13.6L engine and ProDrive™ XL transmission allow you to harvest more while using up to 20% less fuel, resulting in significant savings. The redesign of this combine also comes with longer belts, larger pulleys, and fewer chains to provide more efficient power transfer from the engine to the work point.

Harvest Longer Days
The X9 combine can tackle any condition during harvest from sunup to sundown. With new options such as a massaging seat, enhanced lighting and visibility, and smartphone integration, these improved operator comfort options increase the hours available to harvest in a day.

Improved Residue Management
Next year's crop is affected by the state your field is in after this year's harvest. The improvements to the residue management system on the X9 combines allow finely chopped residue to spread up to 50-feet, quickly change between spreading chaff to dropping windrows and make adjustments from within the cab to best fit your tillage plan. The X9 combines come with the option to factory-order the tried and true fine-cut chopper or the new extra-fine-cut chopper.

Integrated Technology
All John Deere X9 combines come with a StarFire™ 6000 receiver built into the cab's roof, allowing precise calibration, accurate data and machine information. A 4600 CommandCenter™ Display is also included on all X9 combines to enable machine-specific activations, view performance, and provide more insights and information for the operator. One of the most beneficial integrated technology features is the Combine Advisor Package, which includes the integrated Active Vision Cameras, enabling you to maintain peak machine performance throughout the entire working day.

Overall, the improvements and considerations John Deere has made with the X9 series combines allow for increased harvest capacity, which means lower costs, more productive days, easier machine maintenance and an enhanced harvest experience all around.
