Featuring new engines, a new flagship model, uprated drivelines, along with fresh model numbering and styling, it is fair to say John Deere has been busy updating its range of wide body self-propelled foragers.
Headline-grabbing news is the introduction of a new top model, which sees JD’s chopper range extend to 970hp. This puts it on the shopping list of those contractors considering large output machines for power-sapping jobs such as maize and whole crop rye harvesting.
The more powerful forager offering is also a reflection of the changing trend towards larger foragers, simply to get things done in less time, suggests John Deere.
As before, the JD forager line-up consists of a range of narrow body and a range of wide body machines. To now differentiate between the two, the firm has designated the larger models the 9000 Series, along with new styling to give them a visual difference. Six models make up the new Series from 625 to 970hp.
