9090 New Holland has just set a new record for most Bushells harvested in a day (10 hour day.)


World Record set by New Holland CR9090 Elevation - harvest2008 - FWispace

Stick that up your pipe and smoke it John Deere guys.

 

Think we could afford to lease/rent this combine for what...like all of 20 minutes to an hour maybe..........

 

They should also get an award for one of their products actually lasting a ten hour day without breaking down!


NOTHING runs like a deere

 

Don't you mean NOTHING RUNS like a deere... when it's getting chased by a New Holland

John deere still holds the record for acres harvested in a day but it's easy to combine when you throw have the grain out the back.

 

Neat stuff...

 

A North American made JD could throw a European made NH out the back.......
JD and Cat are the only true North American controlled/owned farm equip manufacturers left so naturally they`re my favorties now (and hopefully they are still manufactured in America)..........

 

I actually dont know where they are manufactured anymore, its hard to tell these days.

 

A neighbor bought a new 45 hp JD tractor 3-4 years ago, I noticed a small sticker on it that stated it was assembled in India......

 

Here is where the combines are built.

JDHarvestLink : John Deere Harvester Works

John Deere combines are very well built and will outlast most of the others. That is why the resale value on them is in a league of its own. Cost of ownership is far better than on the others because of this much higher residual value!
You can blow whatever you want from wherever you want, but the yellow ones are not worth much in the end and many dealers wont even take them on trade unless you buy another one - same holds true for Massey and Gleaner. John Deere has the highest resale value and Case IH was second but the 8010 had enough problems just like the first year CR's that there are lots of guys scared of them too. The 2388/2188/1688/1680 lineage was turning nice resale values as well.

 

Speaking of combines, we just about bought a 1688 case. It was the right price, but a closer inspection showed that there was just too much wrong with it.

I tried swaying my dad into a JD, but for the price it was gonna be that 1688. Im kinda a minority except when it comes to saying no cause there is just too much wrong with it, specially this close to harvest.

 

I noticed 9600's sure dropped in price. But then jez some of them are already 10-15 years old, seems like yesterday that was the machine to have....

 

Yeah they have been around for a few years now.

 

I think the 9600 came out in 1989 or thereabouts. Our 9610 is a 1999 so its 9 years old already!
They are not the biggest combine of that era but they run steady - they are crappy in barley, fair in wheat, excellent in canola (probably the best out there because they dont over thresh like a rotary), very good in peas, lentils, and oats! If its a harvest where the oats straw is tough, then change the oats rating to better than excellent!
We have had lots of experience with the CaseIH rotaries and they are an excellent machine as well - there were so many progressive changes on them like longer sieves, cross flow cleaning fan, a few updated torque sensor springs, elephant ear changes (the newer designs use two rather than four), cone (everyone now uses the seamless rice cone for longevity), rotors (they went from standard to specialty to AFX - a few guys around here updated to the AFX and they are saying almost 20% more capacity). I see the Bullet rotor is available for the earlier Deere rotaries and I have heard big improvement claims as well.

 

9 years old, that's a pup!

1979 New Holland TR70
1976 International 914

 

It seems like everyone has had one of them 914's! We just sold my grandpas 914 last year, and we had one just before the JD 7721.
