Layout of belts and chains combine CLAAS Mercator
The John Deere 900 series combines are characterized by the increased overall dimensions of the threshing drum.
The 850 Hydro model is the first hydrocontrolled model. In these models the driver’s cab is installed as an option. During daily technical maintenance 10 spots should be lubricated at these combines.
In 1975 more high-powered 5,9 l diesel-fuel engines of self-production were introduced in the 960 and 970 machines, which had replaced 5,4 l engines. In 1976 these models were replaced by the 965 and 975 models.
