Semler Agro A/S 100-tonne X9 Combine Harvester

The 100-tonne X9 Series Combine Harvester has been designed to operate to the limits. It requires only minimal maintenance and has time-saving functions in order to be able to make the most of harvest time. Being the widest model on the market means that it provides exceptional low-energy threshing, which separates and cleans, while producing less than 1% broken kernels. The X9 is a digital harvesting system, with smartphone apps and wireless data transfer providing unprecedented control of operation.

Expert description

The X9 is a new design, with two longitudinal rotors combined with an 8-wing feed accelerator for even feeding, and a threshing area that the material passes through 2.5 times. The new Dynaflow XL cleaning shoe provides the biggest cleaning area on the market with a full 7 m2, which includes terrain adjustment. John Deere promises 100 tonnes per hour, with less than 1% loss. The Prodrive XL is a newly developed 40 kmph two-stage transmission. Acceleration is completely stepless, with the help of two motors that automatically overlap depending on speed. In all, this provides a torque increase of 30% while also delivering a fuel saving of 30%. The new HDX header has been specially developed for the new X series to increase capacity while minimising loss. The HDX is a 3-section hinged draper header that can follow the contours of the terrain. The rubber belts themselves now feature a development consisting of a patented system of small rubber grooves and elevations that help to hold the kernels, thus minimising loss from the header.
