John Deere X9

[Hamloc]

They are being sold at far less than advertised retail
They will be a very good machine. John Deere had no choice .
Healthy competition will bring down price but it will be and is one on one deals .
Class won’t turn a blind eye to this and will have to adjust pricing to stay in game now .
Unfortunately Case on the outside looking in
New Holland will hold their ground with their proven design
Fendt will fade away

Various thought, my son certainly excited by the X9, I hope they are built well as once they are 6-7 years old I might be able to afford one. I certainly think the S series single rotor were a dependable machine but are limited by the single rotor.

As far as a Claas goes neighbours down the road run a Claas 760 and a S-680, Claas has more capacity but requires far more repairs by thousands of dollars.

First year with a Case, worked really well but no doubt those after the big capacity of twin rotors will be less inclined. My thoughts liked the simplicity and the ability to unplug the rotor from the seat, an advantage over the Deere.

Ran New Holland for 15 years, still have one as a back up to the Case. Just got tired of fixing small problems. Hoping the Case spends less time in the shop during harvest.

As far as the Fendt seem to have their issues, only time will tell how they do.

The X9 will certainly be popular for those with deep pockets.

The X9’s being sold are very likely sold at less than others . Deere needs market share back.
It’s a numbers game at that level .

They will take the wind out of the sails on the lexion on some bigger farms

Each to their own. John Deere Dealer here has an a hole for manager. We demoed a Lexion 8600 this fall. I wouldn't buy a Deere over it no matter how big the bounty.

I agree with you on this agstar. Prices are retarded. I remember saying no to a 15000 trade difference on two years from a JD 9500 to a JD 9510 and that was for a decal change. Guys don't blink for 50 to 75k a year now.

On other posts . I had a neighbour that justified machinery by reduction in fuel costs....He doesn't farm anymore. Just saying.

I known some guys that trade equipment every year or two. I remember talking to one of the salesmen at our local Case IH dealership a few years back , and his opinion about one of the farms that did that is that " their trade ins looked like you threw them out of an airplane" !

That is a true story.

I heard they have a new option for these machines. An AI repairman that rides in cab.

Deere did have a small bounty but deere also gave their customers the same deal or better and if you're in the multiple-well that's a different game fun with numbers.

Yes, some local Managers piss guys off.

That's true for most machines. That is not far from reality when you have million dollar machines. An A.I. diagnostic system.

True, not sure why, because it's not the combine grading your grain....its a set of eyes and attitude at an elevator.

Used to be more capacity was hiring your brother in law to drive an old pelter for a few days.

This is pretty common with many dealers in the effort to get guys to change colors. In one sense it is surprising how many combines were sold this post harvest. We didn't as we are running fairly new to us machines now. It doesn't bother me to see guys trade up and there is no need for anyone to "take it personal" or be irritated where some feel its not too expensive of a deal. I know a guy that seems to think that it reflects on his management style to fix. He is a good fixer and seemingly takes delight in seeing some one who steps out and buys new or expands have financial issues. Like a lot of guys we discovered that if one waits too long to trade and your combine depreciates out it a one hell of price difference. I admit we are never done paying for a combine but we have far less breakdowns if we run low houred machines. For many once you get on either the trade fairly often route or the fix route it can be hard to change the management route.

Just a small farm, one 9870, 10 years use. From accounting software and a good estimate of fuel.

Cash value difference, plus fuel cost, plus repairs = $18.37 per acre over 10 years.

Ironic isn't it after all my calculations answer is the year Deere started?

[Freightshaker]

Heard quite a few X9’s got rocked this year. Take one on the sides, as usual goes in the rocktrap. If it makes its way to the center where the cevron pattern is to split the crop, nothing stopping it from going thru the whole combine.
