I saw many new 4wd's in our area here in Humboldt, Saskatchewan. I am spraying most of the time so I move around a lot in our area and see all the nice equipment the farmers have here.
Saw a few new JD 9620R and 9570R 4wd's and new Case IH 620 4wd's. Looks like that is the most popular tractors.
One farmer bought 6 new R-series John Deeres!!
Do you guys think the bigger JD R-series tractors will have have the Cummins engines forever or will they get JD engines in few years time again?

Big seeding rigs!!

The Cummins engine in the Deere is the coolest thing ever. They would be dumb to get rid of it.

John Deere 9620R with 980 bushel Seedhawk aircart. And picture of the 2016 modelyear aircart this farmer has. I think it is not yet available from Seedhawk. Must be testing it?

Nice sound of the Cummins or not?

have john deere beefed up the axle bearings on these big tractors?

 

[maninsilver]

They need to incorperate the fuel tank into somthing. it kinda looks like a 1960s russian design. But i like the fact that they use 15 litre cummins power instead of their own smaller engine. like the cnh brain fart having a mouse on steroids. 620 hp on 12.8 or 12.9 liter ingine. like seriously!!!
And i like the look of the intake on one side and the exhaust on the other.

Jd doesn't sell enough tractors to build a engine for tier 4, thus Cummins, personally I get a kick out of rubbing it to the green boys. now you have a real engine, Scott.

That's a lot of tractors, is there some sort of tax incentive up there to buy them like that, or just a big operator.....?

not yet but alot of people around me have. some have destroyed housing, planet gears and carrier and fill rest of tractor with metal. very expensive & lots of down time. now there putting over 600hp through these you would hope they have soughted the issue out. most here have gone between 3000 - 6000hrs.

I check mine every year with dial gauge and make diff arnt making metal.

Saw the dealer have 3 more new R-series 4wd's.
Did not hear any problems so far about the 12 new R-series JD's in our area. Maybe too early yet!?

Makes me smile! Are the Deere dealers req'd to be Cummins certified this time around. I remember back in the mid 90's when the 8960 came out with the cummins. We were running 9380 Cases at the time. The Deere folks had 2 choices for Cummins service (and they needed it!) either the Local Case dealer or Western Canada Cummins that was 4 hr away. Needless to say, some green tractors received red service!

Many farmers got bigger aircarts, airdrills and tractors the last couple years. The last picture is an old farmer still seeding with one of his 2 JD 820 tractors with duals!!

Good to see some old iron still being used. I made a load of feed this morning with the old 4020 just for fun.

This Versatile 550 4wd is pulling so easy on that big Seedmaster rig !!

 

[Jason Hildebrand]

Wow that looks dry, wonder what that's like.
