John Deere Africa Middle East | C1200 Combine Harvester | Walkaround Video 1

My name is Akatonas Nyangwe. I'm the sales manager for Tata International Zambia, the John Deere dealer. I'm here to talk about the old new C -1200 Combine and just run you through some of the key selling features or key benefits or improvements that have been added out of this new Combine. The John Deere C -1200 is based on the current C -120 model which has been running all over Asia, Africa and South America and has proven to have great experience and productivity in terms of various crops and various operational conditions. The C -1200 has a larger separation area than other combines in this class which needs to excellent productivity and grain quality and ultimately leads to minimum grain loss. The C -1200 diverges on these field proven components and technology that applies on it so we're now going to do a walk around and just understand the Combine better. The operator comfort on the C -1200 begins with this old new protectable front ladder which gives you access to the cabin and ends with a multi control joystick which has great value add especially when you're dealing with headland turns and of course the display on the corner that gives you easy visibility in terms of information as you run your Combine. When we talk about ease of maintenance, we only talk about the C -1200. If we look at the improvements that we've made on the unit, we have improved the knives, increased them by 50 % strength and secondly we have made them bolted compared to the previous C -120 that had the pivoted knives. Also in terms of ease of maintenance we have made the engine oil drain handle easy to access and quick access to the radiator cleaning. On the C -1200 we have reinforced several structure areas of the Combine. Examples are the feeder house, grain elevator and the rear axle. All of this has been done basically to withstand the tough African conditions under which we operate and of course this obviously leads to better productivity and also taking into account the new features that have been added on the Combine. This has also been done to handle the additional capacity that comes with the old new features on the Combine. The C -1200 has got a 5500 litre grain tank which is larger than the previous model which had a 4200 litre grain tank and one of the other benefits is that on the offloading ogre is that you've got a top offloading ogre compared to the affordable ogre that was there on the C -120. With a larger 400 litre fuel tank on the C -1200 this allows you to be in the field longer and to have a more productive day. When we talk about ease of access the old new ladder that has been designed on the C -1200 gives you easier access to the engine compartment. With all the exciting features on the John Deere C -1200 Combine that we've introduced one of the lovely features is the styling. From the front to the back of the machine this machine has a lovely modern look which gives you pride. As you can see we have made a great product even better enabling you to have better efficiency, higher productivity with comfort and at the end of the day enjoy the John Deere experience.
