Exactly what is Deere falling behind onIJ Please elaborate.

They're falling behind on adjustable sieves from the cab, and programed crop settings from the cab as well, as well as faster unloading time which is only available in the 9860 at 3.3bu_sec

The 9760 has an optional 3.3 bushel unloading rate, as well!

The 60 series has preprogrammed settings for sieves,cocave etc.all done from cab.

FYI, the higher unloading rate was in the works 3 years ago. Unlike NH, who just cranked up the speed on the current system, Deere designed the system new and with growth potential. Believe me the CNH method for speeding up the unloading rate is an acident waiting to happen. Cross Augers flying at high speed, auger tube at over 50% full. The horsepower drain on that system is going to be high, and it starts at full speed not a ramp up like a belt drive.

Personally, I don't think anyone needs adjustable sieves from the cab. The only way to see if sieves need to be adjusted is to look at what is coming out the back of the combine and the tank sample which a sensor will never ever give like the human eye itself. People are getting too spoiled with all the little gadgets ......get back into a 4400 or older model for a day and then it will make you realize what we take for granted. I still think my 9500 is a luxury combine.

ok so jd is finally catching up to claas with the adjustments in the cab, and the combine will set up all of the adjustments for you, but are they like a claas and made it so you can save your setting from one field to the next, because there are no too fields the same fellas and one setting for dry corn from the combine wont work for all fields of dry corn, claas learned that the hard way! but because they made there software adverse enough to let you save your setting it worked kind of! the new deeres do look sweet as hell though

I agree with your statements. We don't even use a grain loss monitor on our 8820. We just go by how much in coming into the grain tank and by looking at losses behind the combine. Then we can get a pretty good idea on how fast to go.

Good point I consider the "HarvestTrak" in my 9500 the biggest peice of crap in the hole world if I went by that thing I wouldn't be much of an operator yea it kinda gives you an idea how fast to go but you need to get out and check the ground to relly see what your losing out the back.

Ours is an 81 model and it did have a Dickey John grain loss monitor when we bought it used. But it wouldn't work right so we disconnected it. That was 10 years ago.
