Ziko Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Today our new John Deere combine arrived, and what a beauty she is! There's an 18 ft header with it, but that's still at the dealer. I'm sorry about the photo quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 mmm green or not its nice to see new shiny kit like that, not into my jds ,so quick question, is that smaller than the sts's??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziko Posted January 9, 2008 Author Share Posted January 9, 2008 @KIWINZ, maybe i'll drive it but i'm not the fixed driver on this machine. We also have 2 other combines, 2x JD 1075 @Tractorman, I think you can compare this one to one of the smaller STS machines. The 9570 STS.

Gav836 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Nice looking machine, we tried one out on demonstration where I used to work but stuck to a Lexion due to the extremely high fuel consumption of the John Deere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDFord Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Would the 1170 or whatever its called now not do Ricky Personally if I was you I'd stick with the Dominator much better combine than the JQ Was the 1170 that one that came along after the proper 11** series finished? Made in Brazil or somewhere like that, and not got that good a reputation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 As far as I know - its basically a 1188 or 1177 in new clothes and different cab - not sure on its reputation - its too new for our area still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziko Posted January 11, 2008 Author Share Posted January 11, 2008 A man with similar thoughts to me - in the field down with the head drive on - no fooling around with a trolley another tractor time wasted etc Why would you need a tractor for that? We just hook up the trolley behind the combine. Thanks everybody! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MODELFARMER Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Why would you need a tractor for that? We just hook up the trolley behind the combine. Thanks everybody! thats just a pain in our lanes and small roads!! big combine and big header, we raced a neighbour this year actually, his new holland and 12ft head and out claas and 10ft. . . .we cut about 1/4 of an acre before he had the dead on and he had 2 men helping him!!! and i baled our straw before i baled his as ours dried quicker!!!
