JOHN DEERE 9600 Combine Harvesting Corn 

i think we can all agree corn harvest is the most satisfying thing in agriculture

Well she's still going strong. Usually only see an 8 row corn head on those. A 12 row is impressive. Handles it quite well.Thanks Jason👍. GO BTP!!💪

My family uses a 1998 9610 on a 1990 12 row 30 inch corn head. I didn’t know the JD 12 row was designed so long ago. I think these combines will continue to be rebuilt and used for a long time.

Good to see a 9600 can still handle a 12 row and I love that shop truck at the end.

This farm must maintain their equipment quite well.

Jason i'm not even kidding here, the anniversary 9600 was the very next combine we added to our farm to help the 8820 T2 getter done. Legend machines.

We are running a 1991 model John Deere 9400 combine with a 643 corn head and 922 soybean header in West TN harvesting corn, wheat, and soybeans. Coming from a 1982 John Deere 6620 the maximizer is like a dream to run. We just harvested our 5th crop with it running somewhere around 1000 acres through it this year with very minimal downtime.

Tell that combine operator to put at least one fire extinguisher on the combine. Didn't notice any. First (and only) combine fire I had was on a JD 95. There's nothing like using your jacket, shirts, gloves, & pants to put out an engine fire in the middle of a corn field on a cold day. Great idea using an air compressor & spray nozzle to clean off the combine/header. Leaf blowers are more portable. Great video!

Look at those bunnies go!

Only Gleaner had a 12 row corn head before Deere with their class 7 N7. Gleaner was ahead of its time.

who else saw all the rabbits running away at 3:43

Bought a great 97' 9600 in 19' and it's been cutting bumper crops every year like a champ. 6300 hours now

Love to see a 4640 on grain cart duty👍😁 corn harvest time is always great to see😉👍

Always enjoy the videos. Some feedback...rather than hearing basics of harvesting again, would be nice to hear the farmer's side of things...history of that machine, likes and dislikes, thoughts on its performance vs. newer models and value comparison on his farm. Keep up the great videos!

I know it’s not a tractor but I love that Ford pickup!

We used to run 2 9500's great combines and another great video thanks!

Great video!! I remember those times from back in the early 80s... Good memories.

Beautiful setup ! First generation farmer here and I just bought a low hour 1996 9600 4wd on duals , looking forward to harvest next year !

I actually see a couple of potential reasons for a 12 row on a Maximizer. Really low yields, and that is not a slight, yields aren’t necessarily profits. They grow dryland corn in some very low rainfall areas. Another good reason would be maintaining a 3:1 perfect ratio controlled traffic farming scenario. Their are plenty of DB90 / 120 frames no longer in use with high speed 60’ bars doing the same job. You can get ultra wide planting fairly easily, and their are plenty of 400-500 horse tractors around, a 20 year old 9620t would do the job, even if you go 20” spacing. That leaves you with a 30’ limit on heads. Perfectly filled by a 9600 or 9610. I’m looking for a great kid who has been active in FFA and 4-H to set up with 5-600 acres of cheap rent and some of my old equipment. I don’t sell or trade anything because I’ve had it all tore down and rebuilt twice and I can’t part with it. It’s still as good as new. We have to get kids in to this game who didn’t have a daddy and grandpa plowing the road for them. Good God when I kick the bucket my kids will be getting the world handed to them.

Hi Jason, in Australia we run a ‘95 model 9600 and 936D head. ( even thought we call the combine the header and head as a Draper front)

We still run a 1997 9600 here in western kentucky. It’s been semi retired and only comes out now as a 2nd combine to run in soybeans with a 30 foot bean head.

These are some good machines. I've cut soybeans with one and it will tote the mail 👍🚜

Awesome Video!!

I still can’t believe they made that work, we only ran 6 row when I was on our cousins combine crew

Great video! Awesome! Thanks for sharing! Have a great and awesome day!

I bought one in August of 1990. Some days we harvested 1.4 million lbs in a day in 230 bu corn. Stopping about sundown to refuel. Many around here had 10 row heads using duels. This cost $10,000 for the heavy duty axles.

Great Vlog, great machine, the 90s seem so long ago now but those machines have really only been superseded, by size, horse power, and technology. Thanks

Old but bold!

Thanks

Great video! I love these 9600's

Yep 9600 with 893 corn head, would be using it now but it snowed here in Central NY, not alot but just miserable!

Great machines gotta love Maximizer & STS series combines

3:40 Are they rabbits running out of the corn? I saw three of something run out.

That thing looks mean coming to the end of the row..i love green machines eating corn 🌽

Who ever this farmer is, you sir are cooler than an Eskimo's nutsack. Cool factor 10. only thing i'd improve upon is duals on the 9600. Service truck.....mint, Lwb 2000 Ftreefitty 7.3......minty mint, This kids is whats called "Bought n paid fur" farming, something we've all lost sight of.

Beatiful concibe nice.

A 9600 with a 12 row corn head. I saw someone new today

Love the "old" crew am surprised to see 12 row on singles usally see them on duals although think an 8 row would be better cuz ya wouldnt need a headder wagon and truck to pull it ect

I won't be surprised if the next corn heads will start to have power assist floatation tires on them. Being able to put the feederhouse in float mode would be great. It would help to keep the rear of the combine down.

We run a pair of 9600s and harvest wheat barley canola flax oats and beans with them

Looks great 👍

I work with Creekside Valley Farms in Dayton Oregon and we have 23 9600s for grass seed

Love your videos keep up the good work

I have a 1996 that went to Deere for 10 series updates the dealer put 9610 decals on it good machine 5500 separator hours on it now still does what I need it to do

30 years old and still going strong bringing home the bacon every day. Why buy anything else?

I was hoping they were going to clean the combine off 👍

Step into the 90's.... with the same rub bar cylinder we've had for the last 50 years. Never mind the Axial-Flows & Twin Rotors. Our method is timeless! Lololololololol!!!! Shoot, I think Gleaner was up to snuff by that time. Oh well. It would only be another decade before the STS hits the market. They got there eventually. :vD

Like 👏👏👍👍💪💪🚜🚜

Great job ✌️

I seen a 9600 at the Brown Co fair in 1991 and it was a monster compared to a L2 Gleaner lol

All the combines near my farm is 9600

Where does all the corn go! By the way love your vids! You have another subscriber!

12 rows on an old 9600. Nothing runs like a Deere.

It’s handling 12 rows pretty good but I would have dualed it up

I currently have a 9400&9500 I cut soybeans and corn with them I just run the 95 for corn and wheat really tough combines I don’t plan to upgrade any sooner but I didn’t know I could put a 12 row on it but I do 36inches 🤦🏾‍♂️

She's a peach!

Really like your videos. Remember to vote for the farmers friend, President Trump. We are making a statement this year. Farmers live"s matter.

My uncle runs a 9600 and does corn and soybeans. Grandpa has his ol 7720 and he does soybeans.

Must have hurt getting hit by those rocketing pieces of corn

Ground feed in the tank.

What is the dried up corn used for and how do you harvest corn that's at the dinner table? Sorry for my lack of knowledge. Lolololol

Buenos dia quisiera saber si la cosechadora john Deere 9600 cual es el porcentaje de granos partidos al cosechar frijol chino

Who's farm and where are you all at in western ky

That old combine

What year is that 9650

Please tell him to back up say 30 feet looking to hear back up alarm

👍👍👍

In french please .. 😂😂😂... 👍👍belle vidéo quelle région région des USA ..et bon vote .. good luck

I think a 12 row is way too big for that. it has to have a lot of head loss. but i guess if it can handle it then...👍

That corn header seems a little big for that combine.

Nice video

again not one mention of the 9501

Una 9600 nunca podrá trabajar con cabezal de 12 surcos! Tengo una 9600 trabaja con un cabezal de 6 y apenas y los soporta para trabajar bien

Nothing runs like a Deere. If it ain't green... It ain't mean

I know what you look. Like know

👍👍
