The John Deere 1570 combine harvester, manufactured from approximately 1988 to 1994, was a popular choice for grain farmers. Typically powered by a John Deere engine producing around 160 horsepower, the 1570 offered header widths up to 20 feet, appealing to medium-sized operations. Known for its reliable conventional threshing and separation system, it provided a balance of performance and simplicity that resonated with many.
The John Deere 1570 combine was introduced in the late 1980s as a robust and dependable harvesting solution. It remained in production until the mid-1990s, offering farmers a cost-effective alternative to the larger, more complex models. The 1570 typically featured a John Deere 6-cylinder diesel engine, generating approximately 160 horsepower with a displacement of around 466 cubic inches (7.6 liters). The separator utilized a conventional cylinder threshing system, providing effective grain separation. Grain tank capacity was around 145 bushels, with an unloading auger speed of roughly 30-40 bushels per minute. Available header widths ranged from 13 to 20 feet, accommodating various field sizes and crop types. Chopper/spreader options were available to manage crop residue effectively.

Maintenance Tips
- Concave Adjustment: Regularly inspect and adjust the concave clearance to ensure optimal threshing and minimize grain damage. Follow the operator's manual for recommended settings based on crop type and condition.
- Belt and Chain Tension: Check the tension of all belts and chains regularly. Loose belts and chains can cause slippage, reduced performance, and premature wear. Adjust as needed and replace worn components promptly.
- Sieve and Chaffer Cleaning: Keep the sieves and chaffers clean to maintain efficient grain separation. Remove any accumulated debris regularly to prevent losses and ensure a clean sample.
- Bearing Greasing: Grease all bearings according to the recommended maintenance schedule. Proper lubrication is crucial for extending bearing life and preventing breakdowns during the busy harvest season.
