How the insides of the new X9 combine from John Deere works. This video shows the amazing technology inside the x9 series combine, the worlds largest combine.
oh hell no, you need lots of green to fix green... Even standard parts like v-belts have proprietary designations to make finding compatible parts more difficuilt. Even if those 3rd party parts are made by the same supplier of the OEM parts.
For maximum convenience, and optimum operational efficiency.... Reparability has been completely removed! ....oh you meant for the equipment, not the manufacturer... my bad
And don't forget! It's so efficient that when it inevitably breaks or jams you'll get to wait for a technician to come instead if fixing the simple issue yourself or it'll brick itself! Very important feature for the -shareholders- customer
No shit look how complex this machine is. Clearly this is not for family farmers farming a few hundred acres, this machine is designed for mega farms operating as a business. Repairs are just another expense for such a business.
@@paul1862yeah but you cannot get it repaired or diagnosed by an independent professional. It’s not allowed. Hence sub par repairs at a huge cost Also, all farms are businesses, they are just like any other business in every way.
@@benchoflemons398 So the farmers have two choices, buy this one, or buy one that isn't locked down. I'm sure there are enough farmers willing to buy these - probably for good reason. And if there weren't, JD would use another strategy.
This is how everyone should feel about everything all the time :P my whole life is a constant stream of "ok but how/why" and honestly i cant think of the last time finding the answer didn't feel this way
What an absolutely insane machine. The animation really shows respect to how complicated the process is. How these things have been engineered over time blows my mind. These guys should be making space ships.
What an amazing piece of technology! I am still completely blown away by what people working together in specialized fields can do. An unbelievable machine, keep up the good work!
@@sheilaolfieway1885 this is where the world is going. everything that can be automated will be automated. there will always be gaps where machines cannot bridge parts of an operation. humans will have to fill those gaps. which means the awful jobs will become even more awful and will pay even less. welcome to the future mr jetson. get your button pressing finger ready.
I work for the company that supplies some of the components to Deere Harvester Works at Moline Illinois - from main rotor nose section, blower housings, complete chopper rotor assemblies, counter knife assembly, ducts, auger flighting, platforms (to get in to the cab), AutoTrak sat guidance, and probably many more. It is very, very cool to see how everything goes in to the final product - thank you for sharing this animation! When you see what all goes in to these incredible machines - you can get a sense of why they are north of $1,000,000+ [huge hat-tip to Deere & Co and all of their production partners for helping this 187 year old company continue to be successful and be an innovator]
@@willheheckaslike8315 I was thinking that too, but I imagine you wouldn't have one of these unless you had thousands of acres under plow. It's kind of crazy that it's a rolling factory/processing plant.

@@RoyallbluAnd you cannot fix modern john deere equipment without specialized closed source software that is not available to owners, only repair shops.
I really liked how the combine's parts are revealed and hidden to draw your attention to the current step in the process. For those who were curious about the price, new X9s cost between $900,000-$1,000,000 USD and used from about $650,000.
@@nickd3871 you think Famers make that much money off subsidies? LOL. Wait until you learn how expensive a brand new ladder truck is that your local fire department uses.
@@chrishaugh1655 not sure it's the same. A million bucks for a grain harvesting machine vs life and property saving fire trucks. Government monies go towards both .
Next combine I get won't be a green one. Dealers are getting too few and far between. One dealership own 20-30 locations. Time to move away from greedy green.
Yeah that is a shame. This is what deere wanted though. Our local family owned dealership got bought out many years ago. Everything is pretty much Van Wall owned where I'm at.
Went to the dealer to buy some grease for my piddley little sub compact. My 3 year old son was so excited to see a couple of theses up close. He's not afraid of much, but he wouldn't walk anywhere near the bussiness end lol.
All good in theory but way to complex. Just more moving parts to break. And almost impossible to get to. Seems it would be really difficult for field maintenance and repairs, even if the owner/operator had the diagnostic codes to sort out the repairs needed. Always hated keeping the combines I drove for my dad back in the 70s/80s working in the field when green stuff (thinking here Johnson Grass) was sent thru the Case 1660s with the soybeans in the Fall.
actually service panels and access are getting better all the time. This is one of the easiest machines to field service. Rotar systems are more reliable and easier to maintain the the older systems.
They are awesome... until something fails... I saw one like this being stopped for days, until jhon deere people where able to get there... only to find a mouse chew on a cable... they just change a little wire and came back to life... so much for reliability
Holy hell. Augers, drags, elevators, threshers, sheers, blower fand, pre cleaner shakers. This thing is basically a small plant on wheels. I had no idea combines had this many functions.
How about acesss to software to help owner/operator to be able to troubleshoot and repair his own machine? Or does it sit in the field for two weeks waiting on a JD tech with a laptop to figure it out. Then another week to get replacement sensor, and two more weeks to get tech back out to fix it? Or just spend a grand each way to have it hauled to dealership for repair?
My farmer neighbor has one of these machines and it had spent more time in the shop than in the field! He used his New Holland CR 8090 to finish up his beans! Now switching to corn!
Everyone copies everyone else. Who copied who on the round baler, square baler, grain drill, moldboard plow and the lists goes on and on. They just just design it to there specs.
I'm always impressed by efficient design. I suppose my question would be can we build one big enough to harvest cities? There is going to be a huge market for humans when my buddies get to this planet.
Not all men are created equal - the incredible technology we have gifted to the world is proof of that many times over, and spanning thousands of years.
Well considering that hauls 13 tons and your combine in the 1980s weighed about 13 tonnes I think you're talkin out your ass also there was no such thing as push button LCD screens to turn on and off your Harvester I don't think on the 1980s machine there's a button that I can push for higher revs or lower revs
Seeder and combine in one. Everyone forgets that the Deer combines had to pretty much all get replacement engines. Plus New Holland is always going to be the leader of Twin Rotor combines.
I think TH-cam is beginning to diagnose me with autism because I'm not a farmer, but I actually enjoyed this video. That said: Vote yes to pass the right to repair laws.
That is a lot of Moving Parts to maintain. Many variables to be checked during a breakdown, although I'm sure there is a digital system-monitoring-system to diagnose issues. I wonder how many houses a farmer has to sell to buy one of these ?
Are farmers allowed to fix this themselves when it inevitably breaks?
oh hell no, you need lots of green to fix green... Even standard parts like v-belts have proprietary designations to make finding compatible parts more difficuilt. Even if those 3rd party parts are made by the same supplier of the OEM parts.

Now let's talk about the massive cost.
And the repairability.

Funny how they don't mention that.

Well this animation settles it, I'm getting the X9 in FS22 as my next combine.
I, too, wanted to buy a Prius, but now I feel a strange urge to buy some agricultural land and monitor my yield from the comfy cab of the X9.

Your company should sell parts to the farmers who are prohibited by Deere from repairing their own machines.
I've spent countless hours during the summer driving grass seed combines. I knew the general stuff but this makes it even clearer
I’m an old farmer wannabe from way back: this animation showed me exactly how a combine works! Awesome!
Impressive. Now just allow the buyer to repair their own device and you are golden.
You forgot to show the self-destruct mechanism that activates when the user attempts to repair their tractor without John Deer's consent
