X9 1000Combine

X Series harvesting high-moisture corn

X Series harvesting wheat

The X Series helps reduce fuel costs by 20 percent per bushel harvested. Plus, you can count on an improved grain tank sample and better residue spread, which adds up over a harvest season. With this improved design, you will be able to harvest more acres per day with improved fuel consumption.

• 20 percent better fuel efficiency per bushel harvested - Run 14 hours without stopping for fuel and enjoy fuel savings of up to 20 percent or more as measured in gallons per bushel. An updated John Deere engine, belt drive system, and ProDrive^™ XL transmission make it possible. The 13.6L (860 cu-in.) John Deere PowerTech™ engine runs at 1900 rpm during harvest and is partnered with an updated driveline layout that reduces parasitic loss to improve fuel economy. The ProDrive XL transmission leverages two efficient motors to improve power transfer at typical harvesting speeds, and when moving to the next field you can travel up to 40 km/h (25 mph) to get back to harvesting.
  
  
• 36 percent larger cleaning shoe more efficiently cleans high-yielding and high-foreign-matter crops with less loss and a better grain tank sample - Conditions may change throughout the day but your grain quality won’t. The massive 7-m² (75-sq ft) Dyna-Flo™ XL cleaning shoe delivers 36 percent more cleaning area to effectively handle thin dry crop, thick wet crop, and everything in between.
  
  
• Uniform residue spread up to 15.2 m (50 ft) with the ability to properly size residue from the cab - Size the chaff and spread it where you want it to speed decomposition and improve soil warming – a feature you’ll really appreciate next year in the spring.

X Series harvesting corn, wheat, and canola

If you ever wished you could harvest a few more acres per day, the X Series Combines is the right choice for you. More capacity – up to a 70 percent increase on the X9 1100 – means you can cover a lot more ground with improved grain quality and less grain loss.

• Harvest up to 7200 bu per hour in high-yielding corn and 30 acres per hour in wheat – The X Series dual separator with 45 percent more threshing area and 80 percent more separating area than previous models improve performance in the toughest conditions.
  
  
• Reduce losses and improve grain tank quality – With 36 percent more cleaning area than previous models, the Dyna-Flo™ XL cleaning shoe was built to handle the increased capacity from the rotors. The industry’s largest cleaning shoe will keep loss levels low and grain quality high; you’ll really appreciate the difference in tough wheat, canola, and high-moisture corn.

X Series harvesting in the early morning and late at night

You want the ability to be more productive early in the morning when the crop is tougher and later in the evening as the dew settles. With the X Series, no matter what condition your fields are in, it keeps performing like it’s the middle of the day. More importantly, the combine stretches the length of the harvest window, allowing you to get in the fields sooner and stay later than before, without risking a loss in productivity or grain quality.

Comparison of features between S-Series and X Series Combines

• More productivity in the early morning and late afternoon – The feederhouse is 23 percent wider than previous models, allowing it to handle as much as 100 tons/hr of wheat or 253,721.3 L (7200 bu) per hour of high-yielding corn. Increased rotor threshing and separation area improves your ability to harvest in tough conditions. Increased cleaning shoe area improves your grain tank sample, the 23 percent wider residue system can effortlessly chop and spread residue. The result is an X9 Combine that can handle early-morning’s thick wet crop or the highest-yielding parts of your field with less plugging.
  
  
• Automated setting adjustments with Combine Advisor™ technology package – Crop conditions change dramatically throughout the day and from field to field, which means you can spend time changing combine settings or you can run an X Series Combine that makes the adjustments for you. Combine Advisor adjusts all five harvesting settings as conditions change, reducing grain loss and improving quality. It automatically compensates for changing conditions like wet straw and dewy conditions, even if you can’t see them.
  
  
• Faster crop changeover with improved rotor/fast rpm shift, lighter concaves, and no-tools-required grain tank cleanout – Spend more time harvesting and less time prepping. The rotor and fast gear shift location has moved next to the cab door entrance for quick shifting when changing to different crops. The half-width concaves are lighter,  making them easier to handle and remove. Each of the six concaves weigh less than 10 kg (22 lb), and drop-down cradles make it easy to slide the concaves into position. No tools are required to clean out the grain tank, making it easier to quickly remove crop before heading to the next field.

X Series cab

Leather seat inside of cab

All X9 Combines provide a quiet, comfortable ride with visibility, control, and convenience that are even better than previous John Deere cabs. Choose from three comfort and convenience packages to find a cab that fits you best.

• Leather seat with massage, heating and cooling, electronic controls, and increased swivel (up to 16 degrees, both left and right) – When you sit down in the plush leather seat, the long days and nights won’t seem so long. It’s also quiet enough to take a phone call without worry. You’ll love the convenience of five cup-holders, an accessory rail with an iPad® tablet mount, USB and power ports, and closed storage. Plus, you can easily connect your smartphone to the 16.5-cm (6.5-in.) touchscreen radio to enjoy your favorite playlist or podcast.
  
  
• Smooth out 90 percent of vertical movements with ActiveSeat™ suspension – The electric motor responds instantly to the ruts, bumps, and jolts, delivering an unbelievably comfortable ride. While you’re harvesting more acres per hour, you’ll stay refreshed and alert.
  
  
• Get unmatched visibility – The 360-degree light-emitting diode (LED) lighting package delivers twice as much illumination as previous designs. Unloading on the go during the day is easier, too. The wide 106-degree unloading auger gives you a straight line of sight to the grain cart, while cameras on the unloading auger, grain tank, and rear of combine help you see into the grain cart, grain tank, and everything behind you.
  
  
• Make in-cab adjustments with more programmable features on the CommandARM™ controls – Feederhouse tilt, header resume, machine speed, AutoTrac™ guidance, unloading, residue spread widths, and even more features are located on the CommandARM controls using logical, color-coded, and easy-to-read icons that make it a breeze to run the combine or train new operators. You can even program the functions you use most with up to 30 percent more programmable features than any other combine controller.
