We had a 2015 John Deere S690 combine for a demo yesterday. Very interesting changes.
Buzzard, There is no trouble with tailings overload when its set correct and all updates installed for it to be up to a late 2013 machine. Of course the Front Chaffer Extension needs to be removed for small grains but I am sure you know that with you being so smart. When all this is done CORRECTLY there is no tailings issue, at all. Proved many many times over this harvest in Wet, heavy Alberta harvesting this fall.Okay sure, we must of all overlooked something so easy to set....
Fj.... We only have six months till spring, don't let this crap get to you, you love Deere, nothing wrong with that![]()
x2. Finally someone else gets it!I don't get all this chatter about high returns, if it is high and it isn't a high load of clean grain it's not a cleaning problem, it's a threshing problem.
Can't fix a threshing problem with cleaning, it's too late.
Anyway, where's the 2015 S690 for my WFCC?![]()
Learn to set it and you will be fine!I see the most important bottle neck on the s690 was not looked at.... THey need a total revamp of their rethrasher Design...In tought crop conditions combine capacity is limited to rethrasher volume
They also could see help in hard thrashing small grains... Three percent Unthrashed is not acceptable for today's combines
My two cents
