Hello again,
I posted some pics of us out combining soybeans on this site last fall. Well, after I posted those pics we ended up getting a week long rain event that saturated many of our fields. We were lucky that a local John Deere dealer had just sold a used 9750sts with RWD to a farmer in a hilly area that did not want or need the rear wheel drive. The RWD on that combine was compatible with our 07 9760sts, so we made a deal with the dealer. Within 3 days they picked up both of our combines and put the RWD and his rear tires and rims onto our combine and returned the machines to each of us. It worked out really well for us. We saved a lot of money and the RWD came in very handy during harvest.
I have included many pics of us out harvesting soybeans in one of our waterlogged fields. I was amazed by how well the RWD worked. By simply having the rear tires help propel the combine, we greatly reduced field rutting. I was actually surprised how small the ruts were that we left considering how wet it was. We turned off the RWD occasionally to see what would happen. When we did the front tires would start to slip excessively and the combine would begin is sink making the ruts larger. Overall the RWD was a good investment for last years harvest.
I hope you enjoy the pictures.
