9750 sts good combine or what?

The trouble around here is they dont thresh wheat, canola, barley, oats, peas and lentils very well. The advantages are if you buy 6 or more you get a strong discount plus free John Deere hats for the minions. They are pretty proud of their free JD hats.

Had a 9760 decent combine for capacity. Found it hard on fuel and wasn't impressed with sample in canola. Cr has a bit more capacity much cleaner sample better on fuel. Drawback on CR is no rock trap on older ones can be an issue if you have a lot of stones. CR's are heavier built than old TR's, but could still be heavier. Never owned Caseih combine, been in the field with them though. Not a fan of integral chopper. Neighbor brought over his 8120 last fall hard on fuel wasn't much faster than my CR960, other neighbor brought his 2388 was fairly impressed good capacity for horsepower probably burnt half of the fuel of 8120 which had a steinbauer chip.

Talk on the street is the big CaseIH combines use a lot of fuel vs. other colors in the same class. No sarcasm.

Yup they use lots of fuel, but they get the grain and do a awsome job choping and spreading the residue. Its worth quite a bit if your not left with rows of chaff and straw once your done combining. Fuel is a small expence now days.

They're all junk. And over priced.

Rotor is shaped more like a bullet than the old barrel type. Feeds nicer and quieter in tougher conditions. As far as I'm concerned they all burn a shitload of fuel. S series is way way worse than the older series.

Ha ha, I agree with Jake550!!!
I am going to drop the transmission out of a case ih 1688 tomorrow. I lost 2nd gear on the last field last harvest. It worked great the first 3200 hours. I wonder what will be next!
Trade them or pay to fix them. Choose your poison!

Hobby, Toward the end of my neighbor's farming career, who farmed his whole life and took good care of his equipment until toward the end when he couldn't physically do what he used to, would take the machinery to the field and tell it to surprise him. There comes a time you know its time to quit!

[blackpowder]

I feel that we will never really own our combines anymore. Repairs or payments. Unless your a hobby farmer they seem to cost so much an acre regardless. Crazy. What just happened??

[farmaholic]

What happened? The dealer parts and service departments have learned to tap into our resources now that new equipment prices are in another galaxy let alone in the stratosphere and getting out of reach.
