INSIDE X9 - Feederhouse | John Deere

Wider, longer and stronger, the X9 feederhouse won't limit your harvesting capacity. It can easily manage 18 row corn headers and small grain headers over 15 meters. Its heavy duty construction will handle field speeds of up to 20 kilometres per hour, and a high lift height means you'll have no problem changing headers on uneven ground or moving from field to field. The Feederhouse cylinder lockout system locks automatically in any position when the driver leaves the seat. Equipped with a 110 kilowatt fixed speed drive, there's also an optional 260 kilowatt variable speed drive to operate even the largest corn headers with stalk choppers in reversing mode, the separator system continues to operate at full speed to clear blockages fast, enabling the X9 to be run at the limit with no fear of time consuming hold ups due to plugging.
