Got about 4000 acres in a 2025 John Deere X9 this harvest and it is the best all round combine on the market tip to tail.
I followed the maintenance & break-in guide to a tee, customized everything the way I wanted it, adjusted my header setting for my topography and stuffed the machine full all year, ran it as hard as I possibly could while keeping loses under control. I even went full tilt into washouts just to see if the header could adjust in time, and it did every single time.
You know what I repaired this year?
4 knives & 3 guards- sure it’s still $11,000 but my downtime was literally nothing.
The only real issue I had was with the Activeyield attaining peak accuracy after about 100 loads and then going off the reservation until I had to reset it.
Deere did a phenomenal job of this machine. If you end up buying Combine 12 next harvest, you have yourself a beauty machine.
