The Dyna-Flo Plus cleaning shoe is the heart of the S700 Combine cleaning system. The system is made up of a unique design consisting of aluminum and high-strength steel that reduces overall weight while maintaining overall strength. The Dyna-Flo Plus cleaning shoe also features an enhanced drive system that requires only one flywheel for optimal shoe performance and maximizes uptime.

Feature benefit:

• Increased size of the sieve area by 12 percent for up to an additional 0.6 ha (1.5 acres) per hour of productivity.
• Tailings volume reduction of up to 28 percent in coarse grains and up to 14 percent in small grains.
• Weight reduction of 180 kg (396 lb) for smoother operation and reduced combine ground compaction.

Dyna-Flo Plus cleaning shoe

Enhanced drive system

Functionality:

The Dyna-Flo Plus cleaning system begins with conveyor augers located beneath the concave area, where the volume of threshed material is highest, to evenly move material onto the cleaning shoe (1). The deep auger troughs provide uniform distribution of material to the cleaning shoe with less bunching, even on sloping terrain and when harvesting up and down hills.

Dyna-Flo Plus cleaning shoe

Once grain is on the cleaning shoe, the raised-center front chaffer cleans up to 40 percent of free grain before it reaches the main chaffer (3). High-velocity air from the cleaning fan elevates any light material traveling over the end of the front chaffer, resulting in more aggressive separation of chaff and increased cleaning performance (2). The main chaffer provides grain separation from chaff as the grain passes through the main chaffer to the sieve (4).

The sieve provides proper sizing of grain from material other than grain (5). Any grain that passes through the sieve is elevated to the grain tank while some grain or material other than grain flows to the tailings return system for reprocessing. On S760, and S770 Combines, the tailings material is directed back into the threshing section of the separator for additional threshing. The tailings material on the S780 and S790 Combines are directed to the active tailings return system for additional threshing, and then directed back on the return pan and then onto the main chaffer for additional cleaning (6).

Parts included for side hill package

The side hill performance package can improve combine performance on slopes up to 8 degrees (14 percent) by substantially reducing cleaning shoe grain loss to acceptable levels.

Feature benefit:

• Reduces grain loss out of the rear of the combine on side hill slopes
• Increases combine productivity by not having to slow down on side hill slopes

Functionality:

The side hill kit installed in the cleaning shoe of S700 Combines allows grain to be evenly distributed across the entire width of the shoe when harvesting in slopes. As grain moves to the rear of the combine, the dividers keep grain contained into four individual bays which prevents overloading one side of the cleaning shoe. Additionally, the rubber agitator paddles in each individual bay work with the oscillating motion of the cleaning shoe to move grain toward the center of each bay for increased utilization of the entire cleaning shoe width for increased performance and productivity.

Round-bar concaves are standard equipment on corn combines and are recommended for use in corn and soybeans. Additionally, they are recommended for use in specialty crops such as edible beans and food corn.

Feature benefit:

• Provide maximum grain quality and productivity when harvesting corn or soybeans
• Allow versatility to harvest cereal grain crops when paired with the round-bar concave inserts

Round-bar multi-crop concave

See concave recommendations to choose the concaves that are best for a grower's operation.

The front concave section is heat treated. All three sections are available to be heat treated as an option or in the extended-wear separator package.

Additional threshing tine base weldments for installation into the DensePack locations of a variable-stream rotor can only be used to improve material handling in some tougher conditions such as rice and grass seed harvest.  This may decrease machine performance if used in dry, brittle-crop conditions. 

Feature benefit:

• Rice machines ordered from the factory already come with these tines installed for increased productivity and capacity
• Increase in machine performance in tough-threshing and damp crops

Variable-stream rotor equipped with DensePack

Grain wear plates

Rice wear plates

Wear plate kits (grain versus rice) must be ordered separately through Service Parts.

Rear of rotor with discharge paddles

Rotor discharge flights are available for STS combines when operating in specialty crops. The discharge flights are recommended for use in crops such as sunflowers and edible beans when operating in conditions that require rotor threshing speeds below 300 rpm. 

The discharge flights are designed to provide an aggressive push to the slow-moving crop material as it moves from the rotor housing into the discharge beater. The additional kick provided by the paddle design of the flighting significantly improves material flow and reduces possible plugging at the rear of the rotor at extremely low threshing speeds.

When operating in other crops where rotor speeds higher than 300 rpm are required (for example, soybeans, wheat, rice, etc.), it is recommended the discharge flights BE REMOVED to ensure adequate and even material flow through the rotor, as well as to provide better residue spread.

IMPORTANT:  Discharge flight paddles are NOT recommended for use in heavy, damp wheat or rice crops.

The discharge flight is for use on any 9650 STS, 9750 STS, 9660 STS, 9760 STS, 9860 STS, 9670 STS, 9770 STS, and 9870 STS Combines and does not require the combine to be fitted with any particular configuration of rotor discharge housings.

NOTE: Two rotor discharge flight paddles for 9560 STS, 9570 STS, and S550 STS Combines, AH219961 and AH219962, can be ordered through Service Parts.

IMPORTANT: Not recommended for use in corn.

The rotary screen brush kit adds a series of brushes to the rotary screen. The brushes prevent debris from building up on the screen, allowing full air flow to the engine for cooling.

Contoured serrated wear strips

Regular straight serrated wear strips

The serrated feed accelerator wings have a smooth contoured back to provide fast yet gentle crop handling while also featuring serrated edges for positive crop movement in viney crops such as edible beans.

The updated feed accelerator wings are recommended in place of the optional smooth accelerator wear strips attachment because they help to provide excellent grain quality without compromising feeding performance in edible beans.

NOTE: The standard straight serrated wear strips are still the recommended choice to use on the feed accelerator when harvesting in damp or green-stemmed-type crops.

Stone trap and stone trap handle

The stone trap protects the combine's interior area by effectively catching stones deflected by the feed accelerator into the stone dump area before they enter the TriStream™ feed section.

• Remote lever with an over-center latch makes cleanout fast and easy.
• Trap requires no adjustment and provides worry-free harvesting when cutting close to the ground.
• Adds no additional length to the feederhouse. Excellent line-of-sight visibility of the platform cutterbar is maintained.
• No compromise in feeding material smoothly from the platform to the feederhouse conveyor chain.
• No increase in front axle tire loading since feederhouse length is not extended.

Base Equipment On: S-Series Combines

Field-installation information

An expanded stone trap door with a two-piece front feed floor is available as a field-installed bundle. This bundle replaces the standard one-piece feed floor.

When harvesting crops such as corn, food corn, popcorn, and small grains, the front-piece floor section remains bolted in place. This allows 9 in. of opening across the width of the machine.

In rocky conditions such as beans and edible beans, the front floor section is removed to provide 11.5 in. of open area to the larger stone trap, allowing improved rock protection (22 percent increase in stone trap area).

Please refer to the chart below for retro-fit information

Two-speed feed accelerator handle

The slow-speed drive reduces the standard two-speed feed accelerator from 450 rpm/800 rpm to 320 rpm/770 rpm.

These lower speeds allow the feed accelerator to provide more gentle grain handling in delicate specialty crops such as edible beans, food corn, or popcorn. 

Having the slow-speed feed accelerator drive available as a factory-installed option allows those who plan on using this drive for harvesting all their crops to save the cost of discarding the standard feed accelerator drive parts in the field.

Smooth-wear strips on feed accelerator

The smooth-wear strips provide optimum grain quality in speciality crops such as popcorn and food corn. The bundle includes set of 30 wear strips to replace standard-equipment serrated wear strips.

Grain tank level sensor

The fast, easy way to let the operator know the combine’s grain tank is full when harvesting on side hills.

Feature benefits:

Beacons activated

• Improved accuracy when harvesting in hilly terrain 
• Prevents overfilling the grain tank

Functionality:

An additional grain tank level indicator is available to help detect a full grain tank.

The beacon lights are also activated when the combine is in road transport mode.

ActiveYield delivers automatic yield calibrations to the operator without spending time manually performing yield calibrations.

Feature benefit:

• Simplified yield calibrations for improved uptime in the field
• Simplified data collection for use during and after harvest

Functionality:

ActiveYield eliminates time-consuming manual yield calibrations and replaces them with automated sensors that calibrate the machine by measuring the grain as the tank fills. This enables decisions to be made in real time without leaving the cab.

ActiveYield sensors in grain tank

When the ActiveYield option is enabled and the Terrain Compensation Module (TCM) in the StarFire™ 3000 or StarFire 6000 Receiver has been calibrated, ActiveYield is ready to go to work. As grain is harvested and enters the tank, the three sensors within the grain tank collectively measure the grain as it piles over the cross auger covers. If all conditions are acceptable (header and separator on, grain is flowing, and machine level is within 4 degrees) load collection occurs from 900 through 3000 kg (2000 through 6600 lb).

Any pitch and roll of more than 4 degrees from center during load collection will cause the system to reject that load due to the grain pile shifting in the tank. A new calibration load starts once grain is below the sensors on the cross auger covers.

Stored calibration loads are replaced by new ones as the system continues to collect data. The system may be disabled at any time by accessing the moisture setup page and unchecking the ActiveYield box if manual yield calibration is desired.

ActiveYield Information

ActiveYield is available for model year 2016 through model year 2019 S760, S770, S780, and S790 Combines and requires the 4600 CommandCenter™ Display, GreenStar™ 3 2630 Display, or GreenStar 3 CommandCenter. Additionally, a StarFire 3000 or 6000 Receiver must be installed on the combine with the TCM calibrated for ActiveYield to detect machine pitch correctly. Manual yield calibration is not required as each crop has a built-in default value.

Harvest Doc™ system yield data collected by an ActiveYield system is only compatible with the John Deere Operations Center. John Deere does not guarantee compatibility of ActiveYield collected documentation with John Deere APEX™ software or third-party software systems.

Active Terrain Adjustment is a system that enhances grain quality and reduces grain loss when harvesting on ascending or descending hills.

Feature benefit:

• Achieves same loss level as on level land conditions (on hills up to 10 degrees)

• Tailings reductions by up to 35 percent on 8-12-degree inclines

• Automatic settings adjustments on hills

Active Terrain Adjustment slope

Functionality:

Order Active Terrain Adjustment as a factory-installed option or as an attachment for field installation on model year 2016 machines and newer (PIN 785000 -). The feature can be used in both coarse and small grains in all terrain, but will excel especially on hills.

Active Terrain Adjustment pitch sensor

Active Terrain Adjustment cleaning fan actuator

When the machine starts an uphill climb, Active Terrain Adjustment will slow the cleaning fan down and open the chaffer and sieve elements. As the machine descends a hill, the cleaning fan speed will increase and the chaffer and sieve elements will close to decrease grain loss and prevent shoe loading.
