Up to 70% more capacity in high yielding wheat
You have a tight harvest window and an even tighter profit margin. You need more productivity and low losses. You need a combine that can get as much done in a day as you need it to — day in and day out, season after season. You need an X9 Combine. These combines deliver an average of 45% more harvesting capacity across all crop types, with no sacrifice in grain quality — all while using 20% less fuel.
Predictive Ground Speed Automation
The optional Ultimate Technology Package includes Predictive Ground Speed Automation. Using two forward, cab-mounted stereo cameras, the X9 constantly measures crop height and volume – while pre-harvest satellite field images generate a predictive field map. The combine takes this data and automatically adjusts ground speed BEFORE entering changing crop areas. Feel confident to maintain peak feed rates all day long, even in inconsistent crop conditions. That helps you increase combine capacity while minimising grain loss.
Harvest Settings Automation
Included in the Premium and Ultimate Technology Packages – makes it easier than ever to set the specific outcomes you expect. Using your G5Plus Display, simply set acceptable limits for grain loss, foreign material, and broken grain. Once set, the combine automatically adjusts itself to deliver the performance you want. No more manually adjusting rotor speed, fan speed, and concave, chaffer, and sieve clearances. The combine does it for you according to outcomes you've already prescribed. That gets you into crops faster and reduces the things you have to constantly monitor.
Auto Unload
With multiple machines to manage and tight harvest windows, Auto Unload helps reduce operator workload when unloading on the go. An auger-mounted camera continuously monitors the grain level in your moving chaser bin, automatically sending nudge commands to the tractor to move it forwards or backwards for an even fill.
Auto Unload is available as a factory-installed option on new John Deere S7 and X9 Combines, or as a precision upgrade for selected older S700, S7 and X9 Combines.
JDLink™ Boost
JDLink Boost helps keep you connected during harvest, even in areas with heavy tree cover or limited mobile coverage. By strengthening connectivity for your JDLink Modem, it supports continuous machine and field monitoring so you can make timely, informed decisions. Send guidance lines, prescriptions, plans and work records to your in-cab display, and transfer data wirelessly between your machine and John Deere Operations Center™. Remote access also supports diagnostics and troubleshooting to help keep your operation moving.
Headers and Platforms
X9 Combines are engineered to create a perfect balance between front-end equipment and machine power, so together they deliver stable, consistent performance with every pass, even in tough conditions. With a range of Draper Platforms available and Belt Pickup Platforms to assist in smooth crop gathering and feeding performance, you'll have what you need to optimise your harvest window.
Capacity
Dual separator
Two 60.96 cm (24-inch) rotors provide 45% more threshing area and 80% more separating area, helping you handle high-volume crops with greater capacity.
Cleaning shoe
he new cleaning shoe offers 36% more cleaning area, helping deliver clean grain to the tank in demanding harvest conditions.
More capacity in a familiar size
With 45% more threshing area and 80% more separating area, you get greater capacity while keeping external dimensions similar to the S7 900. This helps you navigate tight turns and narrow transport routes.
Efficiency
A more efficient engine
The new John Deere 13.6-litre engine supports up to 45% more harvesting capacity with only 11% more horsepower than the S7 900, helping you get more from the power available.
Smooth power delivery
The new ProDrive™ XL transmission delivers 30% more torque, helping you handle larger loads with smooth power delivery and seamless speed control.
Simplified belt-drive system
Larger pulleys and longer belts help transfer power more efficiently and extend belt life,² supporting reliable performance throughout harvest.
