John Deere 955 Combine Parts

The John Deere 955 combine was introduced in 1979 and remained in production until 1984, filling a need for a mid-sized, dependable harvesting machine. It was powered by a John Deere 4276D 4.5L 4-cylinder diesel engine, delivering approximately 115 horsepower. This engine provided sufficient power for the combine's operations and proved reliable over its production run. The 955 utilized a conventional threshing system with a 39-inch wide cylinder. This system offered effective grain separation and gentle handling of crops. The grain tank capacity was around 85 bushels, with an unloading auger capable of emptying at a rate of approximately 30 bushels per minute. Available header widths ranged from 13 to 18 feet, allowing farmers to match the combine to their field size and crop type. While a dedicated chopper/spreader was not standard, options for straw spreading were commonly implemented. The cab featured basic controls and operator comfort, typical for machines of that era. The John Deere 955 was well-suited for harvesting wheat, soybeans, and corn, making it a versatile option for a diverse range of agricultural operations.
