Hello Everyone,
First post on here. Very good sight. I am a sales rep for JD in the UK. Thought I better get that out the way early on!!! I will try not to be too biased!!! Over here we had the fist T series on farms last harvest. Fantastic machine.
Just to clear up any confusion the sepeartion system is a regular drum followed by an overshot beater feeding into the secondry thresher, which is the same rotor as the CTS (but obviously mounted crossways), then another beater onto "short" walkers.
Over here in the east of the UK the majority of crops are winter wheat, which yields on average 3.5t/ha, barley and rape (canola) with a few field beans as well.
We have found the T series to match the output of the old CTS in wheat. i.e about 35t/hour average. A very popular machine.
We also still have the basic W series conventional, the c670 (big engined CTS) which is probably our biggest seller and the S690i (560HP STS) which we are doing more and more of.
A little insight into JD combines the other side of the pond. Any questions I will do my best to answer them.
