John Deere rolled into Ag In Motion at Saskatoon, Sask., last month with several machines new to Canadian soil. Parked near the manufacturer’s latest and largest C-Series air carts was Deere’s T6 800 conventional-style walker combine.
In this report, Bergen Nelson, Deere’s go-to-market manager for harvesters, shares how this replacement for the T670 combine is “a complete revamp inside and out.”
The new T6 800 walker combine includes many features from the X9 and S7 Series combines with the company’s latest integrated precision ag technology; a larger, quieter cab, increased unloading rate, and improved efficiency. “Higher performance starts at the feeder house, which is engineered to the same width as the rest of the crop channel to eliminate flow restrictions throughout the combine. The combine also touts a 23 per cent larger grain tank, a faster unloading rate (a 20 per cent increase) and overall efficiency gains.
Operators can also benefit from the adjustable spout, enabling more control over unloading into grain carts and trailers. The unloading speed at peak performance reaches up to 150L/sec, allowing for fast unloading of 10 tons of grain in just 90 seconds.
There’s also plenty of automation features to assist operators, says Nelson. Ground speed automation continuously evaluates inputs and helps maintain a consistent feed rate by automatically adjusting the combine’s ground speed based on operator inputs and operator-defined limits on variables such as grain loss, engine power and rotor pressure.
