Combines 20 ERROR CODES

[gben]

Just an update. Dealer and factory rep spent 2 days with machine. Finally decided it needed a whole new wiring harness. Replaced it, tested it for a day and pronuced it cured. Moved it to corn field, put on head, cut samples two or three times, worked great. Fired it up this morning to pick corn, same old trouble, wont do anything and get tons of error codes! Back to the drawing board. This combine is about to break us and John Deere does not seem to be willing or able to fix it. Anybody got any more suggestions.

PRASIES!!! Finally got the old goat running and seems to be running right. After the complete new wiring harness did not work new terminators were put in per DTAC. That did no good. Finally DTAC spent two hours on the phone to the tech with his equipment and decided the board in the post readouts was bad. $595 later and a 50 mile trip to another dealer we had the new board, installed and everything works great. Picked 250 bushel corn for about 5 hours this afternoon with no problems. Maybe finally they have found the real trouble and we are back in business. Please cross your fingers for us, this machine has only run about10 hours since wheat harvest!!! For a custom cutter this is a real problem. We have lost a lot of business because of this combine and may have to look at another color. Deere electronics seem to be a real problem and deere is not dealing effectively with the problem. We have had way too much electical problems with both of our 9750s this year and they only have about 1100 hours on them. Talked to folks trying to run 9660s in our area and they are having a lot of electrical problems and these machines are brand new!! Deere does not seem willing OR ABlE to deal with the problems.

Yes gben change colour. This needs to happen enmasse or John Deere will continue to treat all as gullible fools.J.D's opinion is they haven't any problems with these machines.
