Getting into your fields quickly and efficiently is crucial for a productive harvest season. John Deere S Series Combine Harvesters are engineered to deliver exactly that, offering advanced features that streamline your operation from start to finish. Equipped with innovative track systems and the intelligent ProDrive™ ground drive, these combines ensure you can access fields sooner, maintain optimal speeds, and maximize your harvesting uptime.
Superior Field Access with Advanced Track Systems
John Deere understands the importance of minimizing downtime and maximizing field access. That’s why S Series Combines offer high-performance track systems designed to get you into your fields faster, regardless of conditions. These tracks allow for road transport speeds of up to 40 km/h (25 mph), significantly reducing travel time between fields. Beyond speed, the suspended track system provides a smoother ride and enhanced ground following capability. This translates to increased operator comfort during long harvesting days and enables faster completion of your work.
Available in 76.2-cm (30-in.) or 91.4-cm (36-in.) widths, these tracks offer multiple benefits:
- Enhanced Ride Quality: The suspended design minimizes vibrations and provides a more comfortable operating experience.
- Improved Flotation: Tracks distribute weight more evenly, reducing sinking in soft soil conditions.
- Reduced Ground Compaction: Wider footprint minimizes pressure on the soil, promoting healthier fields for future yields.
- Maintenance-Free Design: Eliminate daily maintenance tasks, saving valuable time and labor.
ProDrive™ Ground Drive: Seamless Speed and Efficiency
The John Deere ProDrive ground drive system revolutionizes combine operation by allowing you to switch between two infinitely variable speed ranges with the simple push of a button. Integrated into the CommandARM™ armrest console, this system lets you pre-set a range for typical harvesting speeds and a second range optimized for transport.
The advantages of the ProDrive system include:
- On-the-Go Speed Shifting: Seamlessly transition between field and transport speeds without stopping, even on inclines or when exiting fields.
- Optimized Fuel Economy: By reducing engine RPMs during transport while maintaining productive ground speed, ProDrive contributes to significant fuel savings.
- Enhanced Traction: An electrohydraulic differential lock with a four-pinion differential provides superior traction, particularly in challenging, muddy conditions.
Two-Speed Four-Wheel Drive for Demanding Environments
For operations facing particularly demanding field conditions, John Deere S Series Combines offer a two-speed, four-wheel drive (4WD) system. This system provides the flexibility to adapt to varying terrain and soil types by allowing you to switch between two distinct torque ranges.
- Slow-Speed Mode: Engage the high-torque rear assist for maximum power in tough conditions, ensuring consistent performance when traction is limited.
- High-Speed Mode: Utilize low-torque performance for faster ground speeds in less demanding conditions, maximizing efficiency across diverse fields.
In conclusion, John Deere S Series Combine Harvesters are engineered to elevate your harvest operations. From the field-ready track systems to the intelligent ProDrive ground drive and versatile 4WD options, these combines deliver enhanced field access, seamless speed control, and robust performance in diverse conditions. Invest in a John Deere Combine Harvester and experience a new level of harvesting efficiency and productivity.
