John Deere dealers keep two colors in stock for green. There's Agricultural Green and Classic Green. Classic is primarily used on two-cylinder models; Agricultural Green is the shade used on newer equipment.

These new combines deliver an average of 45% more harvesting capacity across all crops, with no sacrifice in grain quality, while using 20% less fuel. The X9 can harvest up to 30 acres an hour in wheat. And it can harvest up to 7,200 bushels an hour in high-yielding corn, which is more than enough to fill 7 semi-trailer trucks per hour.

Through the development of its combine models, dating back to 1927, the company has demonstrated a sense a commitment to farmers everywhere. These machines can tip the scales at over $750k, but they did have humble beginnings. Let's dive into John Deere Combines and take a deeper look at the 9870!
