A Closer Look

New Engine

All S7 Series combines come with a JD14 or JD9 engine–both Final Tier 4 engines, designed to produce high power at low RPMs. These combines are true workhorses designed to work reliably in tough conditions, ideal for those long harvest hours. You’ll also benefit from greater fuel efficiency, and produce fewer emissions while you’re at it.

Residue Management

The new and improved residue management system makes for more consistent spreading of fine- and extra-fine residue while requiring 15 fewer horsepower than previous management systems. This means more crop in the grain cart and less on the ground. 

Improved Monitoring

The S7 Series features an improved grain loss monitoring system. It’s three times more accurate than previous systems and clearly displayed within the cab, so you can easily make any adjustments. 

User Comfort

One of John Deere’s most comfortable operator stations to date, the S7 Series features more storage space, more cupholders, better heating systems, better visibility, and much more. In addition to user comfort, they’ve also boosted convenience–all S7 Series combines come with G5Plus CommandCenter™, Integrated StarFire™ 7500, JDLink™ and a simple in-cab display system.

Automation Packages

New automated settings help new and experienced operators become productive in no time. Here’s a quick breakdown of the ultimate automation package: 

  • Ground Speed Automation: This feature automatically adjusts ground speed to maintain a consistent feed rate based on your own limits on grain loss, engine power, etc. 
  • Harvest Settings Automation: Here, the machine will automatically set concave clearance, fan speed, rotor speed, and much more, based on crop type and location to provide the smoothest experience on any land. 
  • Predictive Ground Speed Automation: This takes crop height and biomass measurements into consideration to control ground speed. 

Key Takeaways

For farmers who want to boost productivity, the S7 Series is up to the task. It’s powerful, and intelligently designed to boost every aspect of harvest, from the farmer to the crop. The series blends power, performance, and comfort to provide you with the perfect tool to take on your harvest.
