Combines CTS Good concept

I agree. The 9500 frame has been strengthened on the CTS. I also own a Claas 228 which has more H.P. but the CTS is unsurpassed in grain quality and capacity in adverse conditions. Here in S.C. Kansas our highest rainfall month is during wheat harvest and after trying almost every machine the CTS is by far the best. Untill it gets stuck. I own a rice model but when it starts plowing I get out the Claas 228 MTS with Cat full-length MTS.

I agree, the CTS is a nice concept. CAT's 470 and 480 lexion work pretty much the same way. The 480 is just a bit bigger than the CTS and therefore cuts a lot more. Unfortunately John Deere is not interested in keeping the CTS. They want the STS to take over.

true cts rock and roll especially their new hillsider, lot better than 460's but then they are not rotary, still a lack of hp though
