Combines 1688 deere

I have never had any problems with the farmers baling behind our combines and all farmers at home bale up their straw here, round bales are the worst but they still get it baled up. We run our 915's around home so long because everyone was leary about the straw coming out of the rotors, they wasnt concerned with the conventional, it was costing us a lot of capacity to satisfy their needs, I was never so happy to get our first rotor couldnt believe what we was missing out on all those years. My grandpa was sold on the conventionals and dad pretty much followed I was the black sheep of the family wanting a rotor. I dont think you would lose out a whole lot if any by going with a deer, but I know you can bale behind a rotor, they way I look at it there will be times the deer will out perform you 1688 and it will also go the other way depending on the conditions, one sure thing is with the deer you will have no problems with the straw, they are both good machines what both have good and bad points so I would go by your needs and of course the price could make a difference...

I ran the 1688 and the 9610 myself for many hundred hours. I think they are very close in capacity in wheat. The 9610 has a few nicer details, like adjusting the concave from the cab and has a few extra horses versus the 9600.

It depends what you are looking for in a combine. If you are looking for through-putIJ If you are looking for capacityIJ If you are looking to combine when the grain sample is fit and the straw isn'tIJ If you are looking for design and engineering integrittyIJ If you are looking for trade in valueIJ If you are looking for operator convenience and comfortIJ If you are looking for state of the art featuresIJ If you are looking for durability and strengthIJ If you are looking at high speed combining in very adverse conditionsIJ If you are looking at one or more of these features then don't look at either of these product lines! look at the TX model line sold by New Holland!!! When these Belgium built combines were introduced to North America 10 years ago they were 10 years ahead of where their competition is today!
