There is a 70 series John Deere Machine sitting at the Alva OK old walmart building on the south side of town. Anyone going give me a call so I can go see it as well I've only been told about it. Give me a call (785) 324-0698. It's being guarded by John Deere personel, but camera's do have zoom lenses.
Re: 70 Series Machine Spotted Again (With Picture)
It seems to be a drop point for the harvesters and a storage local for their trailers etc.
The machine has been moved to the John Deere dealership in Alva out of prying eyes, but I have pictures and can be seen when I get them uploaded and the link out here. The outter shell is the same for the most part but under the shields is a different story and you can see the differences by the pictures that will be listed. People familiar with the inner workings will see the differences right away.
The cab is WAAAYYYYYYY different. The overhead instrument panel is different. The console is completely different as well. You can see the pictures.
I've got a question which model is it??? (9870, 9770, etc.. I wonder are they putting the 13.5 in the big one????? What is that little screen looking thing on the backside of the console that almost looks like a camera screen??? Huge score on the pictures!!!!!!!
still no improvements in the sieve area for hillsides. The chopper has veins on the sides like the new mav choppers. probably will have a 10% price increase with no real capacity increase

I have not been around a 60 series but that looks way different than what I remember on the 50's I was told they were going to a shaker pan instead of the augers.
I do not see the shoe auger drive shaft or the gears. At All. They are usually located above the drive axle tube. By looking at the pic there is no shaft or gears! It is about time!
Also if you notice the shaker arm behind the right honeycomb shield there is an arm that reaches upward off the existing arm, perhaps to drive the shaker pan?
they are introducing them next month in ohio. look and feel like 60's but ele. is dif. and other changes can tell you more later . they have changed the augers you can remove the shoe augers for 07 model yr ,gear and all by removing a few bolts
...We don't know what this 70 series has in it. I work for a JD dealer and have asked the JD TAM and if he knows this 70 series he is not telling. So wait until it comes out or maybe this one will not be the next series combine for John Deere...

I can not imagine what a combine that small is going to do with that much power. The Claas Lexion 600 (Europe), like the CAT Lexion 590R (US) is a very large, very high capacity combine, whose capacity and power are well balanced.
Hmmmm. I was with Deeretech on that one. If a combine's capacity and output are going to really increased, so should its own grain handling capacity be better matched.
Yes i have heared that Frederick has tested other John Deere's combines from a custom harvester friend and also here in Columbus, NE we have a Frederick 9650STS combine that was in the tornado, he sold it to a farmer just a little north of here. I stoped tonight to look at it and there are more parts missing then what the tornado took, looked like they were working on it before the tornado.
