Ran a 9600 for years, nice simplistic machine, did the job well. Run a Lexion 570r nowadays, took a bit to learn the ins and outs of it but it didn't take as long as I thought it would.
Been farming with my grandpa and driving tractors by myself since i was 5-6 (farmall H) ran a combine by myself when i was 8 i believe (old IH 1440 which has now been upgraded to an IH 2377). Been lucky that i had this experience and 19 i can drive just about anything. Awesome to show ppl that dont have these opportunities just how easy, fun, yet challenging these things can be
Awesome channel.! Don't see a big farming operations like yours here in Ky, at least not in Pulaski County. The biggest hp tractor on this family farm is a Ford 7740. Great work, keep the videos coming!
Ah, fond memories...after two years of running an old 7720 I remember getting a brand new 1990 JD9500. What a difference! I understand the new S series Deere's will blow these old ones away tho.
Ryan and Travis, I've never ran a newer JD combine , but I'd say the header or grain table raise and lower switch is oriented that way because the old 45s and 55s went forward to lower the head and back to raise it. That's kinda how the switch is; forward is down and back is up. HTH. BTW, I've REALLY stayed stone age with my bean harvesting equipment. A JD 30 pull type. 1962, I think. It's fun for a small crop, which is all I put out. Be careful during harvest!
Another great video Ryan. That head raise and lower button really isn't backwards when you think about it. Think of the switch as having full 360 degree rotation, if you push on the lower part of the switch and it kept moving through 360 degrees it would be pointing up. If you push on the top part of the switch and followed through 360 degrees it would be pointing down. Not sure if I explained that well enough.
I usually think of any hydraulic control buttons or levers as where the hydraulic pressure is going i.e. to be dropping down the feeder house your technically putting pressure on the top side of cylinder and raising your putting it on the bottom end of cylinder to put it in lamest terms any hydraulics I have ever seen in any machine have been set up like that
Nice vid and machine. You guy should have done the corner post display and warning lights. I miss the overhead warning lights, we run a 9870STS and a S680 and they don't have them anymore
See! I'm not the only farmer who drinks mtn dew. We had a massey ferguson 750 and one time my neighbor (a electrician) wanted to use it for his oats. Within minutes he called me, said he plugged up the feeder house AND cylinder both then smoked the drive belt. He was trying to combine windrows of oats laying in water! Best part about the fall harvest is mtn dew!
+jasonmushersee This raises a question I've always wondered about.....What is the advantage of combining windrows vs. straight crop combining? I've seen in my travels that in Canada they mow it first in windrows, then go back later with a pickup head and combine it. Looks to me like that's just adding another round to the process but I guess I just ignorant to the cause.....
Windrowing is largely used to force the crop to dry out faster and more evenly across a whole field. With the stems cut, the plants loose moisture faster.
I liked your Combine harvester. I want to know what is the role of Waste straw falling from back. Whether it is lying in the field or it may be collected and used for some other purpose. If we want to collect, then how it can be collected.
thank you ryan I asked for it, now I finally know how to operate a combine :) and Ryan one question: do you also harvest? PS keep going on with making those videos
I am fixing to be going to work on a harvest crew this summer operating a 9610. How much difference is the 9510 vs the 9610? I have only operated the 9660 and the S670 machines.
Could you please tell me what camera and screen you are using?...I've been trying to find out where to get one for my tractor...when I was enquiring about a reverse/park camera and screen they told me it won't work as the camera's aren't designed to run for long periods of time and would actually overheat and I can't seem to find agricultural cameras especially designed for this purpose. Your seems really nice though...please your help will be much appreciated. Thanks for the awesome videos...really enjoy them.
Hey fellas, we have a lot of wheat, rice, corn and soybean in our area. I was thinking of buying a combine harvester so I can help them and make some money on the side. Do you have any recommendations ??
The head is changed, yes, but the settings of the combine are changed too. Concave clearance, fan speed, and sieves and chaffer settings are all generally changed when switching between corn and soybeans. Also, on the Deere combines of this era, the feeder house speed is set at the lowest speed (and left there) for running a grain head, while it is usually ran faster for a corn head and can in effect be changed "on the fly" while harvesting corn.
Someone help! Was the head what you would call a row crop head VS a grain head. If grain is planted with a grain drill then there are no rows per se so I believe if you see a reel it would be considered a grain head. I believe the row crop header has belts for each row to grasp the stalk and take it to the cutter bar and then on to the feeder house. Just trying to learn.
In this video, the head that was on the combine was a corn head. It harvests the ears of corn by pulling the stalk down through the deck plates with the snapping rolls. The deck plates are set wide enough apart that the stalk can pass through, but the ear of corn can't since it's thicker than the stalk. The ears are then moved to the cross auger by the gathering chains. It's not a perfect process, but with a corn head only the ears of corn are ran through the combine, not the whole stalk and ear. John Deere is the only company I know of who made a row crop head, but there may be others. The row crop head is also sometimes referred to as an "all crop head." This is what you're referring to in your description. There are snouts, like on a corn head, that run between each row of crop being harvested. There are belts that grab each plant being harvested and convey them back to a rotary knife assembly (spinning disk with sickle sections to do the actual cutting). The whole plant, that is above this rotary knife assembly, is taken into the combine, unlike the corn head that just takes in the ear. The "all crop head" come from these heads being able to be used to harvest soybeans, milo, and sunflowers if they're planted in rows (30" apart, minimum). I suppose a person could use a row crop head in really poor corn, but you'd be running a lot of plant matter through the combine just to have it leave out the back. Plus I'd think a person would be putting a fair amount of wear on the head itself, which everything I read about them says they take a lot of maintenance. John Deere doesn't make new row crop heads at this time. The grain head, or grain platform, is the one that has the reel and cutter bar across the front of the head. These are used for a large variety of crops like soybeans, sunflowers, wheat, milo, oats, canola, etc… Any part of the plant that is above the cutter bar is ran through the combine. Some farmers have even resorted to using a grain platform to harvest corn that was severely flat on the ground.
So, I guess you could say Deere has had a grain head/platform, a corn head and a 'row crop head.' Soybeans are all but gone from East Central Georgia where I live so there is no need for the expense of a row crop head which I remember had those rubber belts you spoke of. I appreciate the info and sometimes I have even been criticized for my questions but I will post them and I will learn. Thanks.
Simply, it's just easier to make a u-turn and go back and forth across the field. It helps with staging the support equipment such as grain carts and trucks as they can be kept to one side as the crop is harvested rather than having to go all the way around the field. For smaller fields this isn't much of a concern, but for larger fields doing so will add considerable time. In other areas, like ours, crops are often planted along the contour to follow terraces (ridges constructed through the field to direct water runoff slowly to a waterway or tile drain to mitigate soil erosion. In these areas the field is cut through several times along each terrace and then, since the space between terraces changes along the contour, "point rows" are harvested in multiple passes and the process repeated for each terrace width. No matter the type of field, the operators will select the best (preferred?) method for making a minimal number of passes and doing so in the shortest time possible.
Travis was correct, it is the control to set the reel speed to automatically change in relation to ground speed. The only way to change the chopper speed is to change which pulley the chopper belt is being driven from.
There is no concave speed control. There is a cylinder speed control, and a concave setting (how wide it is open) control. In these machines, called conventional, or straw walker combines, the threshing is done when the cylinder turns 'against' a stationary concave. The cylinder sits across the width of the combine, and turns in the same direction as the wheels when the machine is going forward. It turns at a faster RPM then the wheels, though. Think of the concave as a curved metal grate that wraps partway around the turning cylinder. The person running the machine adjusts the speed of the cylinder, and the distance between the cylinder and concave, to adjust for different crops that are being harvested. These adjustments are also changed based on harvest conditions, such as the moisture of the grain being harvested.
Lacey Danner I I also talk to a farmer he has a John deer 9600 I got to ride in it I got to drive it I felt goos in the combine I ask a lots of questions about how to unload
There's a sensor in the tank that activates an alarm when the grain reaches the sensor height. Depending on how the sensor is set, the tank can be 100% full when it goes off, or there can still be a little more room. Either way, you need to be looking to unload soon.
The basic machine is the same. The 10 series has some updates, mainly in the area of electronics, like the display in the corner of the cab. The 9500s cab in essence be updated to 10 series specifications as well.
Owen Christensen I like farming and I'm 12 too and the two yellow buttons above the unloading auger button, the left one turns on the feeder housing (the box with conveyer that hooks up to the header and moves grain to the threshing unit,you need to turn on the threshing unit before you turn on the feeder housing to turn it on the button is right next to the pto button to turn on the feeder housing I hope that helps you and is not too complicating but farming is very interesting I like it a lot
Just bought a 9600 so this video was pretty helpful. I hope y’all have a great harvest.

I love how they refer to there tractors and combine as if they were people. It shows they care and love there equipment.
Amen!
They use these trucks so we can eat or essentially anything that work these machines that cut shit we need in life to survive
Auger sound is so peaceful
Great Video, I plan to work in a team for the 1017 harvest, I'm from New Zealand thanks
I remember sitting in a JD combine on display at a museum when I was a really young boy, trying to figure this out
was the musem in chicago?
@@TheMcDonaldsMaster2420 Yep it was the Museum of Science and Industry
I like to go there every time we visit family in Chicago

It's easier to think of it in a straight line which makes this switch backwards.

+tarfoot I could be wrong, but I think what you saw was canola. It has to be mowed and cured before it's processed in a combine.
Tennessee Hillbilly
Maybe so, sounds good anyways.
Thanks
Canola can be straight cut. It doesn't have to be windrowed first. Search "straight cutting canola" on RUclips for videos.
Windrowing is largely used to force the crop to dry out faster and more evenly across a whole field. With the stems cut, the plants loose moisture faster.
This reminds me of a swather.....older one though, model 400.There's less buttons, more pedals and few levers.
자세한 설명 감사합니다 새로 구입할시 유용한 정보 입니다
I was raised on a John Deere 2264. :)
If the dialamatic is turned all the way up does that allow the header to be more flexible or more stiff?
I liked your Combine harvester. I want to know what is the role of Waste straw falling from back. Whether it is lying in the field or it may be collected and used for some other purpose. If we want to collect, then how it can be collected.
If in row then usually it is baled for bedding later

Mountain Dew is essential on our farm. It makes the farm go round. lol
I asked for this, I know a lot of people were
The controls look a lot like what is in an old Gleaner L but just a bit more refined except the raise and lower button isn't backwards on the L.

There should be a 2 way foot switch in front of your seat that I think reverses the head/thresher unit can you clarify?
it auctaly reverses the feeder house
+Drake Farley thanks, I don't run the combine at work I'm usually in our 4640 running grain to the trucks
Stephanie Ross yes?
I hate where Deere put that switch. Gleaner got it right way back on their N series being just to the right of your arm rest.

What is the importance of harvesting or *combining* in rows (such as ⇆ ) instead of like a "square spiral" or other patterns? (such as □ )
Simply, it's just easier to make a u-turn and go back and forth across the field. It helps with staging the support equipment such as grain carts and trucks as they can be kept to one side as the crop is harvested rather than having to go all the way around the field.

What combine did u run on the farm before the 9510?
+Bryan G 6620
We also have a john deere 9510 combine
How many acre is your farm?
nice combine
thanks for the video
just so you know most of the switches are in different places on other headers but they have semi universal symbols
Why was Travis doing it and why were you both in the combine?
what year most have self leveling heads now

Time to teach Jamie!
Ben Holt lol
How to drive 8235r please!
what year model?
how do you know when the combine is full
There's a sensor in the tank that activates an alarm when the grain reaches the sensor height. Depending on how the sensor is set, the tank can be 100% full when it goes off, or there can still be a little more room. Either way, you need to be looking to unload soon.
