Combines disappointed 9750 owner for wheat

[Deerebines]

Raneverybrand I'm going to assume by that name you have. I have a question for you and I'm not starting a war by any means....I want a genuine operators opinion. How would you compare a 9750 sts to a lexion as far as capacity......bushels per acre per hour......and, how would you compare the two to threshing gentleness, overthrow out the back, seperation of white caps in the tank. I have been very impressed with what I have read about the lexion as I have never ran one or seen one in action but I have heard alot of cussings and praises on the new sts deere's. I'm asking these comparison's on a wheat field since that's my main commodity and I don't raise any corn at all......just sorghum for a fall crop. While I'm at it.....does the toughness of the nite seem to affect either machine or can you cut as long as you wantIJ I know cylinder machines tend to play out after the sun goes down and the night air comes in. I've heard that tough wheat isn't even noticed by rotory operaters..........is this a falicy or truth with either the lexion or sts. Thanks for your time and I truly would appreciate no mud slinging.........Just the facts according to your experiences. Deerebines

I've cut wheat late into the night with a 1680 w_ specialty rotor after everyone else has shut down. The straw would feel wet and be so tough that it felt like rope. While a rotor will keep going, it eats up a ton of HP, so you have to go slow, and rotor loss gets pretty excessive. I would suspect the 9750 would do about the same things. Unless you like to look at volunteer wheat in a couple of weeks, I would suggest shutting down when everyone else does.

If it is combining tough wheat under very stringent conditions then you best be looking at a New Holland Tx 66 or Tx 68. This combine has one of the largest cleaning and separating areas of any combine built today. Tx owners usually go to the field to harvest when everyone else is shutting down for the night. With the NH's twin returns system and rotary separator it makes walker loss and white caps a thing of the past. By turning two handles on the left hand side of the machine deauning plates are put into place to block off the first four concave grates in seconds to really knock those white caps for a loop. The new version of the TX is called a CX and it has some features that improves on it's predessor.

I don't know......I've heard stories in the past about the tr's binding in tough conditions from other operators. We tried out a tr this past wheat harvest. I don't mind the machine to much for harvestibility but I hate that small cab....I hated all the manual controls just like my older turbo series deere had and I hated that unloading auger. I could just see hitting a ditch unloading on the go and smacking the auger tube into the side of the cart. Why all combine manufacturers can't go to the style unloading auger like case and deere beats me and why some of you even like that other style beats me. It is an unnecessary worry. I did like the lateral tilt feederhouse and I liked the fact that there was only 1 floor auger in the bin vs the pair in the deere. Though, my deere can unload faster than the tr which both had comparable sized grain tanks. Perhaps the Tx....Or CX is completely different now but if these combines are so good why is it there is more green, red, and the kitty yellow showing up vs. the massey red and NH yellowIJ I even see more gleaners than the nh's. What is the deal thereIJ up front pricingIJ ReliabilityIJ Parts..........Dealers in areaIJ I've only talked to a handful of NH combine owners and for the most part they all like thier combine where as I can gripe half a day to you about my 9600.....even though for the most part I like it. Why arn't the NH's as popular if they are so darn versatile as you suggestIJ Take care Deerebines
