the proto type i seen 4months ago had the radiator in the center of the machine. the side door opend like a class 900 and it had steps to climb up an inside like a class.the motor was mounted the direction of travle with a angle box and main drive belt on the left side like a FR New holland

It seems they are using the same conception than the other competitors ..

Do you guys think this will affect the cooling capacity of the new model?

We've been having some terribly hot/humid days in australia the past week. I know of two claas chopping crews that have had to shutdown during the middle of the day due to the heat, one crew even went as far as taking the back door off the machine and ran without it, whereas our JD just kept on chopping even during the hottest part of the day. Ofcourse it did get a little hotter than normal but nothing to stop us from chopping.

I am wondering why they are going to put the radiator in the middle of the machine when they know they have good cooling capacity with it at the rear of the machine?

It's maybe for the engine access and the daily maintenance.

Sometimes, the issue is the dirts aspirated from the front of the machine, under the cab, and the "silage juices" which falling down from the spout which can clog the radiator.

I seen a Email Deere sent to the dealer. May 31 2014 is the last day to order a 7980. a replacment machine for a 7980 will not be available until january 2016.


the Email said nothing about the smaller 7X80 machines only the the 7980

That seems like a long time not to have a new machine available

Engines over 750hp have to meet their Tier 4 regs in 2015.

 

[Jordanw93]

2016, Just when we will be looking to trade-in.

Not sure if that may be a good thing or a bad thing, but exciting none the less.

John Austin's 8400

 

[jd7750]

8400 is how much HP?

 

[ProDrive]

600 hp apparently

 

[durallymax]

Doesn't matter much and I'm not a Deere fan, but now that its closer to production I think the styling of it looks nice. Looks more on par with the others and "modern" now. Still surprised they made the sheet metal that wide but kept the motor inline versus transverse. Then again Fendt and NH do the same I guess.

 

[jd lover]

600Hp with a 10 rows head?

 

[Hilltop1]

I've ran a ten row Orbis on Claas 900. The head was new and the chopper just had a new motor put in, it wasn't really that bad.
