JD 9880 sts (photos / video)

What's the deal with the ICC (jeez do they REALLY need another acronym). How much more real capacity is there in corn and wheat?
Thanks.

Is that an " I " after 9880? If so what does stand for? If not what is it?

It is for the Harvest Smart Feedrate control if im correct. Speeds up and slows down the combine ground speed depending on how much material is going through it.

Is that as fast as that thing can go? looks like the drivers trying to thresh with the reel rather than the rotor.

Thanks mocutter. I thought It meant Increased loss. I hope harvest smart works better in Europe.

Kinda what I was thinking!

Keep in mind that this wheat is properbly yielding 180-200 bushels/acre

Those I models are excellant. Nice Pics.

Those Hungrys (the sides on the Grain tank) look like they would store alot.

Hooray For the "i" series! makes life easier!

I still don't get the point on beating it with the reel like they were. The reel should be traveling the same speed maybe just a little faster than the combine.

Jeeez man. Slow the reel down or increase the forward speed. Theres 2 things happening there. The reel is shattering grain from being to low and fast and b, the feed cannot be even into the machine thus, lowering treshing capacity. If you cannot feed it without the rel that fast, bring your auger forward a tad.
I've cut heavy crops on Europe and that looked like a well ripened 3-4 ton crop what had some rain on it. That stuff should come off real fast.

The iBine. Sounds like a product from Apple.

The I is for Intelligent, Innovative and Integrated, it is AutoTrac Assisted Steering, HarvestSmart Automatic Feedrate Control and HarvestDoc Automatic Field Documentation

wow, tha has to be some of the worst straw spreading i have ever seen, can you imagine direct seeding into that, major hairpining and pluging...

i new the 50 and 60 series were having major problems with spreading, but i was told it was corrected!!

I would assume that it was being windrowed for baling into straw. There is nothing coming from the chopper.
