They grain still enters the rotor at one side just like all others. They still run the rollers which are great. Take care, Nathan

Have to disagree with the hiring of White engineers, do know that a lot of CIH engineers were hired to make the STS work and to refine the problems out of the system.

Red, I love both Masseys and Deere's. lOVE them so don't want to engage in any bashing or color-warring. I would really like to talk to you, personally, about your experiences with both your 760 and 7700. Yes, I still "carry the torch" for them and certain others. My e-mail is: Antheraea59[at]aol.com. Thanks.

Big Green, the big White 9700 most ufortunately, never actually got a fair chance of even getting much market share. First of all, its parent corporation, White Farm Equipment, was quite unstable and really near its inevitable bankruptcy, when the 9700 debuted. Yes, this was some kind of combine. Crude in many ways, compared to current technology, but was still the largest of the big combines. In fact, it was quite literally too big. The two biggest, heavy-hitting combines of the day were the Massey-Ferguson 760 [on its own last year of production to be replaced by the more updated 860] and the new John Deere 8820, which had just taken the title of the world's largest combine. The coming of the White 9700 simply amended the 8820's status to being the world's largest CONVENTIONAl combine. However, the oversized 9700 soon found itself unable to fit most combine trailers and was also much heavier than its peers, so not as many custom harvesters really wanted to accommodate this monster. Eventually, White went in some kind of chapter, and the [again failing] Massey Combine Corporation, rescued the 9700 which had even been renamed "9720" by White in a feeble attempt to gain firm market for this giant combine. MCC soon renamed her, the Model 8590. MCC also went into a chapter. No, this is not to imply in any fashion the combine was a jinx or failure on its own of any kind. It simply had come from 2 financially weak companies [now fully consolidated under the AGCO umbrella] and has been given a new makeover, and renamed, the Model 9790. Back in 1989, wth the debut of the conventional, but like-sized 9600 John Deere, larger, more durable combine carriers were built. Soon after, New Holland its big TX 88's here in the US. They were conventional and also matched the size of the new 9600's. If any old White 9700's ever ended up on any lots aongside 9600's and TX 88's, they could no longer stand out like the proverbial sore thumb. Their faces just blended in the new crow-this generation of the largest combines on the planet. So BG, I really think in the very near future, you will see the "recycled" 9700 now called the 9790. She's a very awesome combine, indeed, and one I hope you will welcome to the neighborhood.

Greenstrat, any time you really want to look, NOS parts are still there for the 9700's. Nothing's wrong with that.

Well, if the John Deere 9750 and 9760 aren't rotaries, then neither is the N7.

Coors, Wind is correct about which engineers came to work for Deere. let's hope Deere does a better job of keeping up with their pension plans.
