History of Used Compact Tractors

As the tractor business began bustling, John Deere entered the industry in 1918 and has been working to offer their customers top of the line equipment ever since. Here’s a look back at a timeline of some of the most well-known tractor models that have contributed to this industry.

John Deere has always been a leader within the agricultural industry, with tractors being one of its specialties. This is in part due to Deere’s acquisition of the Waterloo Gasoline Engine Company back in 1918, which helped lay the groundwork for the development of its first all-wheel-drive tractor model. However, the tractor was still an advanced concept when Deere initially acquired Waterloo, meaning there would be a learning curve that the company needed to surpass in order to succeed.

As the end of summer nears, farmers across the country are getting ready for their annual harvest, specifically in regard to corn and soybeans. While this time of year can be exciting, it also brings about a seemingly endless to-do list that can be thrown off by even the smallest bump in the road. Despite potential hiccups or less than ideal weather conditions, though, it is important that farmers remain vigilant in their goal of achieving a successful harvest season. 

To get the most out of this season, while also laying the groundwork for the next crop season, farmers should take certain factors into consideration. 

To cater to large-scale producers, John Deere has announced that it is adding two new models of X Series Combines to its 2021 harvesting lineup. The X9 1000 and X9 1100 Combines are both designed to thresh, separate, and clean more bushels per hour in tough conditions. In turn, this means less downtime and a boost in productivity for operators out in the field. Now, farmers are sharing their firsthand accounts of what it’s like to have the new X Series Combines and front-end equipment at their disposal.

John Deere knows that in order to take on a long workday, producers need reliable equipment that is designed to help cross off every task on their to-do list. With this in mind, the company has revamped its entire combine header lineup to include HDR Rigid Cutterbar Drapers, RDF HydraFlex™ Drapers, CR and CF Corn Heads, and a BP15 Belt Pickup. Ultimately, the goal is to provide customers with the machinery they need to achieve maximum harvesting capacity while minimizing grain loss under any condition.

When it comes to threshing, separating, and cleaning more bushels per hour, large-scale producers know that reliable machinery is the key to success out in the field. With this in mind, John Deere has announced that it will welcome two new X Series Combines to its 2021 harvesting lineup. The new X9 1000 and X9 1100 Combines not only increase harvesting performance but also simplify everyday tasks during the workday.

Let’s take a closer look at the capabilities and design features that make these new John Deere X Series Combines perfect for those jobs that require maximum efficiency, even when conditions are less than ideal.
