John Deere presents new T5 and T6 combines

Machinery manufacturer John Deere introduces eight new combine models, grouped into the new T5 and T6 series.

John Deere has unveiled two new combine series: the T5 and T6. The numbers indicate the number of straw walkers in the combine, namely 5 and 6. Within these two series, you can choose from a total of eight new models, offering a range of power options. The smallest model in the T5 series, the T5 400, delivers 305 hp from a JD PowerTech PSS 6.8-liter six-cylinder engine. The largest model in the T6 series, the T6 800, is powered by a JD9X engine with a 9-liter capacity producing 466 hp.

Larger grain tank

The new machines feature the same cab found on the X9 combine. The cab is equipped with various conveniences, including an ActiveSeat II, CommandPRO joystick, and G5plus CommandCenter. Additionally, the combine can be outfitted with a StarFire 7500 GPS receiver. Starting from the 2025 model year, the combines can be equipped with a larger grain tank. The T5 has a standard 10,000-liter capacity, with an optional 11,500-liter tank. The T6 comes standard with an 11,000-liter grain tank, with an optional 13,500-liter variant. This is 15% and 23% larger than the standard versions, respectively.

There is a choice between a five-walker (T5) and a six-walker (T6). Engine powers range across both series from 305 to 466 hp.

Combine controls tractor

The adjustable unloading auger discharges at a rate of 150 liters per second, emptying 10 tons of grain into a trailer in 90 seconds. For hilly areas, the combine can be equipped with systems that compensate for slopes up to 22%. The new combines can use the Machine Synchronization option to control the tractor and trailer where the grain is unloaded. From the cab, the combine driver can control the speed, direction, and position of the adjacent tractor to facilitate easier unloading.

Production starts this fall

Currently, there are no prices available. However, the manufacturer has announced that production of the models will begin this fall, followed by delivery.
