John Deere tests its X9 combine harvester in France, examining how the machine performs in real field conditions. The video covers technical details and customer feedback from the demonstration.
This is a continuation of the testing that we did last year in the Baltic Smile when we were in the uk. The conditions here are a little bit more brittle, a little drier. We're in about seven and a half to eight ton wheat. We are here not only to demonstrate the advantages in performance and efficiency of this harvest solution, but also the integrated technology that this solution brings to the market. You'll notice on this machine that there's a lot of extra cables. So we have about 500 instrumentation cables on this machine. We're taking about 100 channels on the machine and then another 400 channels through the CAN bus. Those 500 channels come through and I'm able to wirelessly transmit them to my computer over here after each run. We've learned that few things here in France on customer requirement for spread distribution and material handling in the machine and so we're updating some of the parts to improve the performance of the machine. It's a great pleasure to see the smile on customers faces when they get to experience this machine as well. Sam.
