John Deere 9500-SIDEHILL Combine Parts

The John Deere 9500 SIDEHILL combine was introduced in 1989 as a robust and dependable machine, particularly suited for hillside harvesting thanks to its leveling system. It was manufactured until 1997. The 9500 SIDEHILL is powered by a John Deere 6.8L (414 cu in) 6-cylinder diesel engine, producing approximately 225 horsepower. This model employs a conventional threshing system using a 66-inch wide cylinder with rasp bars and a corresponding concave. The grain tank capacity is around 215 bushels, with an unloading auger capable of emptying at a rate of approximately 50 bushels per minute. Header widths varied, ranging from 13 to 30 feet to accommodate different field sizes and crop types. While chopper and spreader options were available to manage crop residue, the cab featured standard controls and instrumentation for the time, focusing on functionality and operator comfort. The 9500 SIDEHILL excels at harvesting a wide range of crops, including wheat, soybeans, corn, and barley, especially in fields with significant slopes where its leveling system provides a distinct advantage. Its durable construction and relatively simple mechanics made it a popular choice for farmers seeking a dependable machine.
