Combines Just bought a 9750 need advice

[bm]

You'll love it. Everyone around us that's made the same move loves the green ones. There are no major trouble spots. Yeah, they seem to wear fast, but that's what happens when you go like mad and harvest as many bushels as you can with them. They're just built so much heavier than your old red ones even though they were good combines. You won't look back at all!!! Oh, and you won't need a chip. The setup on the deere doesn't require extra hp. Welcome!!!

Yeah there is weak spots just read some other posts like the chopper, grain bins breaking and if they want to sell you a black box before you even run the combine its underpower

Congrats are in order. You won't need to stock any belt or part, unless your hours away from the dealer. I ran a 9750 last year for the custom operator we hired, since his man quit in the middle of harvest, and the machine was a dream to operate. I did manage to burn the beater belt in the first hour, since I was not used to the machine, and did not shut it off in time on windrowed damp canola swaths. My own fault, but the custom guy did have a front beater belt on hand. He also carried a cylinder belt as a spare, although he said he never did have to change it yet on that run.

My advice-Trade it back on the red one. I ran a 9600 for years and it was a great machine. Traded to a 9760 in 2004 and it has been a nightmare-Feeder drum rubs floor, caught fire twice, wore a hole in the rotor at about 270 hours, knock the grates out twice, plus numerous other little headaches. Don't get me wrong, the machine has good capacity, but I'm spending way too much money on maintence and repairs compaired to the 9600 and still the same number of acres. Good luck with harvest.

Good luck. We have a couple of 01 models and the electronics are a nightmare. They are about to break us as we can not keep them in the field. The techs have trouble finding which board is causing the problem or which sensor or both. We have lost countless hours over the past couple of years with electronic problems that deere is having touble diagnosing and fixing. We even know some of the guys at D-Tech by first name now. Thought we might have them straigtened out this year and yesterday in corn one of them just quits and wont restart. leave it a couple of hours and it fires right up. I know sounds like a bad sensor(nothing seems hot upon inspection) but have not been able to isolate it yet. You may have better luck, some have but a bunch of us have not.

Will, front beater belts! And pulleys too if they have ever been smoked more than a few times. Worst thing about the entire combine is the front beater. Get with Bill or look back at the RPR forum to see what I am talking about. Make the wrench and you'll get to keep what little hair is still on your head!!

If your combine is underpowered give it back, because a 9750 should have plenty. Otherwise as old as it is, the list what to look for would be too long to write here, since I can not look at your combine, don't know the hours and what it has harvested. If you have a reliable dealer have him check it out and quote you a repair. But sit down when the quote comes. It could easily be 5 digits just in parts. I would be glad to answer any further questions by email: ralfnew@yahoo.com I have been through all the mentioned stories here and some more.

After reading through all these posts I have just been convinced (again) that my 9600 is going to have alot more birthdays at this farm. I rode with a friend one year that leased a 9750. I sure wasn't impressed at that time for the price tag it had. Wonder why it turned out to be such a lemonIJ Deere have a deadline and couldn't wait to fine tune it before releasing itIJ Ah well, I have stories similiar in nature for nerves and pocketbook that relate to massey and from some readings on another page sounds like the 8010 must be another prodicle child gone bad. It's our own fault. We keep buying this junk. Someday when we figure out to keep running what we have and let that new stuff rust on the lot will then and only then that the big corps change thier attitudes about what they make and how reliable it is. Resale value sure isn't reflecting what I'm reading on this page. I'll say that much.
