I've run a JD 9400 , 9500 & a 9600 but never drove a 9550 . We cut wheat and soybeans with a regular header but if the customer needed we also cut grain sorghum/ Milo which I didn't like . . Great video Sir
Used to run similar rigs back when people would windrow oats, but not in years now. We still run homemade funneling boards on the rear so the straw is in a narrower windrow for smaller balers to pick up more easily. Ours is a dairy area so our customers always want their straw for bedding.
In Saskatchewan we grew lots of fall rye. It grew 5- 6ft tall. Had to be careful at times if you had to stop or slow down the pickup would keep bringing in the windrow CRAZY
I would have loved to jump from the 9500 to the 9550...but we went to a 700hr 2017 S680 last year...I think with the bottom sieve out on the 9550, and a non chopping 8 row corn head, it wouldn't be much slower than a S680 in 200bu corn. After 200bu it would be considerably slower. At 240bu our 9500 made crazy noises.
I'm glad you told why that field was cut. Didn't know what they was doing. Also is it some kind-a rule that 99% of what you film has to look really good. Most farmers equipment is whether dirty after couple days. My bother in-law seems think most equipment looks like what you film. My cousin had 10 year tractor setting at get together. Bother in-law, I said yes it looks good but we all was coming and he said he hasn't started haying yet.
A great combine harvester for the smaller farms - we own one and been very reliable - wish John Deere would still make a class 5 harvester for the smaller grain growers
My uncle took over the family farm and bought what was then an old Alice Chalmers combine (today it is probably gone to scrap) with a similar header on it. He would have to winrow the wheat/barley/peas, then combine them.
Ok so I'm wondering what happens to the grain after the windrower cuts the stems. Does that 9550 sort the stems out of the grain and throw the windrowed stems out the back?
we had 2 6620 sh and a 9500 sh then a 9760sts sh and now been running a s670 sh for 7yrs been looking at s780 sh but the prices are getting out of hand .
Awesome find!! This 9550 is in beautiful shape too! We also own a 9550 (& 9500)...love the 9550. I was surprised how much more of a machine it is compared to a 9500...Deere increase grain handling capacity by making the clean grain elevator bigger, also the 8.1L powered ones have noticeable more power than the 7.6L 9500; Unfortunately Deere made a huge mistake when they started putting the JUNK 6.8L engines in the last year year make 9550s and onto the 60 series class V walker machines. Hard to believe, roughly 20 years later a farmer can't even touch a new combine for over a $1/2 million...$155k for that beautiful combine seems like a steal in today's upside-down world!
Doesn’t entirely make sense why they did that for the 2003 season. The 8.1L was used entirely across the board for all the 50 Series models. Maybe it was to help justify production of the 6.8L since the 9450 was the only model to use it prior to 2003. The new decals and logo determine this 9550 to be 2002-2003.
Those 212 JD pickups are not a great pickup, I have them on my 8820 and 7720. You have to run them really flat like you see in this video in a light crops or the swath just goes underneath the combine. The newer model ones are a lot better from what I heard. That swath should have been twice as big for that combine.
No video? Have you tried watching again.? It maybe an issue with RUclips. I just watched the video and it has 57,000 views with out issue. It maybe an issue with the app.
With today's fule prices it maks no sense to swath grain . Just direct cut it, and then sun dry it and bail it or blow it in choper wagon's and be done 🤷🏻♀️ Today's fuel ⛽ prices are outrageous even under no tax ag ⛽ fuel.
Boy that is one very well maintained combine. It looks new. Doing a nice job as well.

That one is still nice and clean and straight.

Another quality video 👍👍👍
Great channel for seeing how different crops get harvested...
Thank you Craig
I like seeing classic combines still out harvesting crops.
This is unique. Thank you for showing this combo!.
Amazing combine bigtractorpower nice
The 9550 is a good one. 😁👍
My uncle has a 9550. Hands down the most reliable combine we have ever had!

Very nice combine
It looks like drought conditions,very short straw for rye
The 9550 is a nice machine.
Thank you Sir

I have the same belt pickup on my 6620!👍
Very nice.

The 9550 is a good combine based on the original 9500. Great harvester.
@@bigtractorpower tell me about it. My uncle has one, and it is hands-down the most reliable combine he has ever had.

Big fan of your videos😊
Thank you for watching.
Neat video Jason
hes having a hard time getting the sieves covered but not going too fast for the small swath, normally a 30-35ft swather would cut ahead of these
my old 914 pull type would be at home in those swaths, lol
Ok so I'm wondering what happens to the grain after the windrower cuts the stems. Does that 9550 sort the stems out of the grain and throw the windrowed stems out the back?
Howdy bigtractorpower
Good video
Thank you for watching Frank.
Must not have gotten much rain during growing season. Almost not straw despite being cut low.
we had 2 6620 sh and a 9500 sh then a 9760sts sh and now been running a s670 sh for 7yrs been looking at s780 sh but the prices are getting out of hand .

All the 9550s had 8.1 L engines.
@@bcdieselsofficialno they don’t. Late 9550’s made ‘03 Deere started putting 6.8L in them…just ahead of coming out with 9560’.
@@EDBZ28 I looked at the manuals. The 9560 also had an 8.1 l engine.
@@EDBZ28 you’re right, they did. I’m guessing they eventually switched back to the 8.1 on the 9560 though, because they show both engine options.
It's cool video but wouldn't a 20-25' draper header make it more efficient when harvesting cuz seems like alot of passes for that feild size....

>notices WI state highway signs in video
>geolocates the field to a 10 sq mi area
Dang, wasn't filmed near my childhood home 😅
I’m sure that must have required some jury rigging to get this older pickup head to fit on this much newer combine
Looks like just a newer style drive shaft. The interface between feederhouse and header is still compatible
No video of the grain tank and unloading
Big Expensive Combine running over all of that ground with little to show for it.

The grain is the only part of the crop; that's worth anything so it has to be combined, not bailed or chopped.
Sometimes only option is to swath. It depends on many factors including where you farm and the condition of crop.
