19 “That system is underneath the belly of the combine using hydraulic cylinders that actuate the machine to make sure we’re maintaining a level cleaning shoe or level combine as we’re harvesting,” Nelson said. “We also just updated a valve on the system which allows the HillMaster system to adjust smoother and provides the customer more comfort during operation.” Another available feature is ground speed automation. This piece of ag tech uses the combine’s data to adjust speed. “It allows the machine to speed up and slow down, all automatically based off rotor pressure, engine load, loss level and terrain,” Nelson said. Terrain settings automation can be added to the T6 800, too. This provides stable cleaning performance in varying terrain. “Based off of the pitch and slope of the GPS receiver on the cab with the machine, it’ll allow us to adjust the cleaning fan speed, the chaffer opening as well as the sieve opening,” Nelson said. “So as we’re going up or down hills, we can adjust accordingly to make sure that we’re keeping all of the grain inside the combine versus blowing it out the back.” John Deere has also set the T6 800 combine up for future upgrades. This is done through 32-bit electrical architecture, Nelson says. “It doesn’t mean a whole lot right now to customers, but from my perspective, it allows us to upgrade that combine into the future quite easily.” John Deere is already taking orders for the new combine.
