Does anybody know how how many combines JD makes/day/week/year?? list others too if u know

 

[downunder]

I went through the factory in 93 and than they were working 2 shifts and making 13 a shift, a total of 26 a day.

 

[factoryfarmer]

are you one of those guys that can't get a combine next year?

 

[redhat]

Visited CNH plant in Grand Island NE, a few weeks back and tour guide indicated 28-32 units per day depending on the model mix. They were building all Red combines that day, no Yellow ones. This plant only builds the Rotary combines for Case-IH and New Holland. They have other plants that build walker combines but I don't know where they are or the numbers.

 

[stevenwoll]

Was thinking about upgrading,but no big deal.Only have 2 seasons on ours 3 9860 premiums.

 

[kirschenman]

man, I remember touring the grand island plant when it was still just NH and it was 2 TRs per day only I think

 

[bigslim]

5600 difference in serial numbers from our 4 '06 9660s to our 4 '07 9660s. Ordered the same time and delivered about the same time both years.

 

[deereman]

When I toured the CNH plant in 05 they were only building 18 a day. that might have only been on 1 shift though

 

[harsh]

Serial number doesn't mean number of machines.

 

[johnblue]

For every 5000 difference in the serial number the year model changes.

Ex...

96605000= 2005 model
966010000= 2006 model
966015000= 2007 model

etc... those are not exact and I don't know if they make 5k of each size or not but was told that.

Went to john Deere plant last year and two shifts going and 64 a day going out . Hard to believe I no but it was unbelievable

 

[Jason Hildebrand]

Deere won't say how many on the tours so unless someone has some inside info, then we don't know.

 

[Don Boles]

I'll bet

It will be less this year.

 

[deetwocat]

Maybe a lot less I was told by a my red dealer that both red and green have cut back big time ,toured Grand Island plant last Feb.they were running 28 to 32 per day.( average six yellow the rest red)

I you drove one away would anyone actually miss it? And it would help you so much.

 

[GrampaMark]

According to The Association of Equipment Manufacturers, total combine production in the US as of the end of November has been 7234 units. That's a decrease of a little over 2200 combines compared to last year.

Mark

 

[SouthernSK]

Mark that is what I thought. There is a lot fewer machines made than we think. It will likely shrink a lot in the next few years.

 

[Arro]

did the moline tour in '12 and they wouldn't tell you numbers per year, but said they were cutting 50,000 tons of plate steel each year at that stage. Guessing that qty was only for the S series combine no fronts. must be in the high 4000's to 5000 pa

 

[Don Boles]

Interesting when these old threads are brought up again!

Being as this thread just turned 6 the answer is bound to have changed.
A lot.

 

[molines]

Annual production varies greatly. Just because X number was built on the day you were there doesn't translate into X times 365 days obviously...... You can probably count on 5-7000 per year out of the Moline factory each year.

Good to hear! I thought they had stopped making Minneapolis Moline combines years ago! Just kidding, fj.
