  • First John Deere Combine

    First John Deere Combine
    The first combine that could thresh all of the grain right there was very small and slow. But it was faster than swatting it and picking it up by hand and then bring it to the thresher later on when its dry. This combine was 14 feet wide and could combine 20-40 acres a day.

  • 1930s JD55 header

    1930s JD55 header
    These were very small heads and not very efficient. they could not flex over the ground. had wood paddles to help bring your crop into head, and had just a reel to bring the crop to the feeder house.
  • John Deere 45

  • 10 Series John Deere Combine

    10 Series John Deere Combine
    The 10 series combine was large step for Deere in combine because of its efficiency. The cab was also updated with seat suspension, sun visor, and a larger storage compartment.
  • CTS "Cylinder Tine Separation"

    CTS "Cylinder Tine Separation"
    This method did not keep the tank nearly as clean as the soon to come STS series would have. Also not as efficient.
  • 1998 Flex header

    1998 Flex header
    The header shown here in 30 feet long and can flex over the ground. a very good header from experience except ours is 35 feet long and newer... but the same concept.
  • sts "single tine separator'

    sts "single tine separator'
    This is the single tine separator. it is way more efficient and better at keeping the grain tank clean. As shown in the picture this seems complicated but when you look at in real life it simple.
  • 9860sts

    9860sts
    The 9860sts is a absolute beast for its year. with up to 35ft head and 12+ rows for corn. From experience this combine was largest step of all just because of the "Single Tine Separator" or sts. more on this later
  • 9760STS

    9760STS
    On the 9760 they changed the body on the 2004.5 years and the the 2004 model was different and older looking design.They also changed up the cab design on the 2004.5.
  • S790

    The future of combines 2020+
    This is a picture of a new prototype John Deere. No one knows the release date or when they will even start talking about them.
  • Soon to come 24 row corn heads

    Soon to come 24 row corn heads
    These heads are huge! 24 rows! and i thought 16 and 18 were big. For the S790 i feel like it would still struggle a bit unless they updated the heads to bring in less trash from the corn.
