The John Deere 9400 combine harvester was introduced in 1989 and remained in production until 1995, quickly establishing itself as a workhorse on farms across North America. Powered by a John Deere 6.8L 6-cylinder diesel engine rated at approximately 225 horsepower, the 9400 provided sufficient power for a range of harvesting conditions. Its conventional threshing system features a large cylinder and concave, delivering high-quality grain separation and minimal grain damage. The grain tank capacity is around 170 bushels, and the unloading auger could unload at a rate of approximately 45 bushels per minute. Available header widths ranged from 13 to 30 feet, allowing farmers to tailor the machine to their specific field sizes and crop types. Chopper and spreader options were available to manage residue efficiently. The cab offered a comfortable operating environment, though it lacked some of the advanced features of later models. The 9400 was particularly well-suited for harvesting wheat, soybeans, and corn in moderate to good conditions.
