The John Deere 1055 combine, produced from 1971-1978, was a workhorse known for its reliability and simplicity. With a John Deere diesel engine delivering around 105 horsepower, it handled various header widths, commonly in the 13-15 foot range. This conventional combine became a popular choice for farmers seeking a dependable and easy-to-maintain machine for harvesting grains like wheat and soybeans.

The John Deere 1055 combine was manufactured from 1971 to 1978, filling a niche in the market for a robust and straightforward harvesting solution. Powering the 1055 was a John Deere 404 cubic inch diesel engine, producing approximately 105 horsepower. This engine provided sufficient power for its conventional threshing system, utilizing a cylinder and concave arrangement to separate grain from the stalk. The grain tank held roughly 85 bushels, and the unloading auger emptied at a rate of approximately 30 bushels per minute. Available header widths typically ranged from 13 to 15 feet. While lacking the sophisticated chopper/spreader options of later models, it efficiently handled crop residue. The cab offered basic operator comfort and controls. The 1055 excelled in harvesting wheat, soybeans, and other small grains where its simple design and robust build proved advantageous. Its reliability and ease of repair made it a favorite among farmers looking for a cost-effective harvesting solution.

Maintenance Tips

Concave Adjustment: Regularly inspect and adjust the concave clearance to ensure proper threshing and minimize grain loss. Refer to the operator's manual for recommended settings based on crop type and condition.
Belt and Chain Tension: Check and maintain proper tension on all belts and chains, particularly the cylinder belt and feeder house chain. Loose belts or chains can lead to slippage, reduced performance, and premature wear.
Sieve and Chaffer Cleaning: Regularly clean the sieves and chaffer to remove debris and prevent blockages. This ensures proper grain cleaning and reduces losses.
Bearing Greasing: Follow the lubrication schedule in the operator's manual to grease all bearings regularly. Proper lubrication is crucial for extending bearing life and preventing breakdowns.
