Why does every one obses over combine classes? the gleaner S series is only a class 7 and it can handle any head you can put on it, the classes are a sales pitch they really dont mean anything but they got enough farmers to adopt there system.

Yes, good point. I stand corrected to some extent.
Still small in comparison.
It looks as though they have taken the grain pan away from the precleaner area and added it to the chaffer. Yes?
Don't get me too wrong, you can't beat Deere for quality build.

Deere don't count the grain pan in any of there measurements, case do not sure about MF

Probably the Fendt Katana cab. If they do that, they will have a real winning machine as it is a fantastic cab.

With the longer feederhouse on the 9560 did anyone find that it feeds better neighbours tried a 680 and said Deere didn"t change any thing on the header and that they would still plug it easy.

Im a deere man through and through - my ID in here was the test code for the STS in the mid nineties when it was being developed. Worked for JD dealerships in the USA and AUS for 12 years. Like everyone was pretty excited when the S series JD combines were being released, then when i read that the 680 & 690 had rethreshers on the tailings elevator my heart sank - WTF is this crap - something Laverda would do or even Case. The day i would pay 600 plus for a combinethat has a rethresher - never. I checked out the new Massey - and at least these guys were headed in the right direction - capacity without complexity - i believe JD will price themselves out with the S series - and farmers will explore other options - a 9560 is just a big 9750STS - bloody perfect. Alot of people are talking about the new massey up to 150K cheaper than S680 - so the trade in price can be cheaper as well. I'd be looking what delivers you value mate and what keeps you in the game of farming - expensive machinery with 1960 Designs probably wont do it for you.

Anybody order a 9540/9560 with duals? Do you know what the spacings are from center to center of the inside tyres? Or is that info available online somewhere?

[benk8680]

Duals are one 120in centers for 30 in rows.

Classes do mean something.. A super 7 is just that..it is not an 8..put a 40 ft macdon on it in tough soybeans..you will need more hp to keep up with a 9895/A86..

[8850jd]

But a 9895 is closer to a class 9 then 8... put PAMI back in the picture and deere will not look so good due to losses... horsepower is nice to keep stuffing crop in the machine but if u cant separate it and threshs it.. whats the difference.

I do understand it makes a difference... but not all combines are created equal..

The massey is alot more straight forward in design then the deere. With the dual stage cleaning where the air can clean the grain as its falling from the rotor... this design will prove to be better then trying to auger the grain to seperate it.
A 9540 is a class 8 and the 9560 easily a class 9... they are only second in fuel consumption based on productivity to lexion.
