Combines jd 9750 vs tr 98

Since this is a New Holland Board, most of the people are going to say keep the Tr's. I think the answers to your questions would be trying a STS out first. That way you can see firsthand how it performs and compare it to your Tr's. I have heard many good things about the STS and bad things about them too. Were do you live in CanadaIJ We live in the US but we occasionally do business with Mckay Brothers in lethbrigde, Alberta

With those crops why not look at the new New Holland CX machinesIJ

I spoke to a NH company rep and he suggested that we wouldn't be as happy with the cx as we are with the TR's. The TR's are better threshers resulting in less grain loss, especially in wheat. We farm in N.E. Sask and have a tendency to grow alot of straw, thus we need something with more capacity.

You have been given some good advice especially about trying them out. My advice is to consider some additional things like a clean sample, maintenance costs, fuel economy, HP, moving parts, rock traps, header and feederhouse reversing, grain tank unloading speed and cost.I think you will find that the TR's excell in about all of the things i have mentioned.Remmeber that you are comparing a TR-99 to a 9750 not a TR-98. The TR-99's are quite awesome compared to a TR-98.

Now i am a Case-IH man, but have experience with all makes of combines. If your looking at something that will give you clean grain in small grains, the STS is better, but if you like to bail your straw, the STS will chew it up like gum.I would try out something like the CX, or a JD 50 series walker combine.

In my opinion the machine to have is undoubtedly the new CX model regardless what the NH rep says. The CX is made on the lines of the field proven TX. If it is tough thrashing you are concerned with, then turn the deawning plate handles and you can thrash green wheat out of its hulls. The CX will be better for baling straw after also. If 10000 square inches of cleaning area isn't enough then you have a real problem.

I don't think your NH man knows what he is talking about. The CX type machines are used in Europe where they must deal with a lot of damp straw in high yielding cereals. Additionally, in Canola rotary combines often have a problem of putting almost every thing over the shoe then having crop loss problems. You can also get a self-leveling shoe in the CX if you have an hills to deal with. Rotaries are great corn shellers and they are easier on the seed which is real important in beans and pulse crops. IMHO

Can't you get a self leveling cleaning system in a TRIJ

No, not yet. Only on TX and CX.
