Class 9 combines .. ?

We had been IH rotarys from start,but with manpower shortage,looked for more capacity,had 5 IH in 2000,traded 3 for 2 Cat 480, one year old, in 2001 to harvest 12000 acres. Went to 3 580 ,but wondered if lost capacity,580 narrow body,480&590 wide body. In 2009 we rented a 590&9120&(NH said didn't have 1 to rent us) for whole season. Was great to see sideXside in all crops,comparing yields& fuel consumption. Were able to see 590 had more capacity than 580, but 580 more than 9120, was close in canola. So 3 590 in 2010, 3 760 in 2012, 1 tracked and 3 760TT in 2014. The tracks have been life savers in these wet years,along with dryer have managed to harvest without loosing quality. But of late,dealers have been getting gready, buying extended warrenty till prices come more in line !!

We were very close to getting a one year old 780 . Just could not close the deal , too far on the trades .
I love those things
I like this 9240 so far though , the 16 litre engine has tons of power . No need to push it at all

CaseIH , what are your tire pressures at ?
We had issues with the Massey 9450's as well .
Problem is they set up tire pressures like tractors with lower outside dual pressures which is the problem .
They should be the same and at least 35 psi .
It is a weight bearing application not for traction .
Anyway, we pressured up the duals to 38 psi on all 4 . No more issues
Did the same to this Case before we started so hopefully no problems 🤞

We run 26 in each dual and 31 on back. We have an 8120 and 8010 and no problems Seems to be the 9 series. If you ever get in mud again watch your dust caps on back wheels. Mud packs in that dimple behind dust cap and wrecks dust cap then back wheel falls off .do you have big or small tube rotor?

Was doing canola today , running 55 bus at 4.3 . 36 ft swath . Just under 1 bus loss the best I could get .
