Does anyone know where I can get information on the JD STS machines? I'm looking for informational, setup or even an overview of the machine geared toward someone who has never been around them. Even a video or book geared toward a service technician would be great.
We have been running Walker machines forever. We have been running 9610's since 1998. I know these machines inside and out. We missed the 50 series, 60 series and we are just now jumping into the 70 series. We are starting from square one again. We will be getting our new combine (9870) in July... hopefully, and need to know more about it before corn harvest in late August.
I've seen everything on the JD website. It is very vague to say the least. I need to know details like how to change rotor speeds, feed accelator speeds, what, when, and if they need changing. What crops or crop conditions to use concave inserts in. Even performance issues like engine and rotor load, capacity issues relating to concave/rotor, grain loss motoring, etc.. I'm looking for something more hands on like if the STS machine had just come out and nobody knew anything about it. I can't find anything out there online like this. Can you guys help?
