JD x9 demo

[Sebastian77]

Drove one last year

hell of a machine but hell of a price tag !

unfair comparison but you could buy like 6 or 7 used lexion 600’s. for the same price have any 2 broke down at a time and still have the other 4 or 5 cutting way more than any top output new machine can

comparison of used vs new is not fair of course but such price tags do need perspective from alternative solutions !!!

Yeah if you happen to have 4-5 experienced combine drivers sat around waiting....

The grain farmer’s equivalent of the dairy farmer’s 80 point rotary parlour!

Valid point but the Parlour makes money every day while the X9 is parked up and the owners in a hot tub in the alps

 

[chickens and wheat]

Or the x9 makes enough money to allow the owner to hot tub, where as the parlour needs to be constantly going.

 

[Ben B]

I would need a telescope to see the end of that header ! There would be lines of downed power line poles across the county

If you need a telescope for that hell I don't know what you would want for one of these!

If that’s true I’m selling my herd tomorrow

 

[chickens and wheat]

It is when you see how much we are charging for straw.

What crop is that at the start. No wonder you need 60’.

agree 100%

 

[Exfarmer]

I should like to know the weight of that tractor trailer combo on the road!
Edit: 8400R is nearly 15t, TB24 trailer 7.2t, plus, what, 25t of wheat at standard spec weight...nearly 50t...would you want that in a video?

Defies belief that anyone would not see what is wrong here.
Never mind will probably be the first to complain when their outfit is held up by a bicycle, or their diesel tank is visited by our travelling friends

Waldersley farms has a x9 with 45ft header, thats up yorkshire way i think. Replaced 2 of their combines. Run 3 in total now i think

Waldersy’s are Norfolk and Cambridgeshire. The above photo with the barn in the background is Prickwillow near Ely, Cambs.

That's sorghum (milo if your American) I have mainly heard of them been used in the area's where they still work on bags of wheat too the ac in a good year! By that im talking 500 kg to the ac been a good crop.

Nh 10.90

something wrong with the 10.90 then as this is the world record combine !

 

[bluegreen]

Yep I guarantee an X9 isnt twice as quick as a new 10.90!! Quicker, yes, but certainly not twice as much when the 10.90 is the latest version with 700hp and Intellicruise. I live virtually in the middle of Waldersleys massive estate and X9s are common round here this season ............Two big farms at Kings Lynn have three between them plus a few 790s, Waldersley have one and 10 miles down the A10 another huge farm has at least one. Eubrinks had two on the go last week I was watching alongside their remaining Lex 780 in a decent wheat crop, same size headers and the JDs were quicker but not massively so. Im guessing the 780 was doing 70 tonnes an hour average and the JDs 80-85 judging by the trailers leaving the field. Would be interested to see the X9 going head to head with the Lex 8900 and the latest 10.90 with a 45ft Macdon on the front, that impressive trio would clear some wheat!!

It’s a 2016 model due to be changed after this harvest.

I did say ‘nearly’ twice the speed and in this instance the NH could only manage 3.5km/hr with a 40ft header as it had losses. The X9 was doing 6.5km/hr with a 40ft header with zero losses and a better sample. If I hadn’t seen it myself I wouldn’t of believed it.

Looks huge

record is rather out of date now I reckon - most competition have different models now

i suspect there will be s few challenges this season, last few years have not produced the crops required for world record breaking

“zero” loses ? is that really possible ?

Easy to do a record when you only snip the heads off.

 

[Combineman]

yes agreed - i don't think they are any guide for someone looking to purchase - just a marketing vehicle
