John Deere 9650-CTS Combine Parts
9650 CTS parts and accessories
The John Deere 9650 CTS combine, manufactured from 1997-2001, offers farmers a versatile harvesting solution. Powered by a robust John Deere engine delivering approximately 275 HP, this combine handles various crops with ease. It accommodates header widths up to 30 feet and employs a unique rotary separation system, which made it popular for its improved grain quality and reduced grain loss compared to conventional systems.
The John Deere 9650 CTS was introduced in 1997 as part of the Cyclo-Treader Separator (CTS) series, offering a middle-ground between conventional and full rotary combines. Production continued through 2001. It's powered by a John Deere 8.1L 6-cylinder diesel engine producing approximately 275 horsepower. The key feature of the 9650 CTS is its Cyclo-Treader separation system, which utilizes a single, large-diameter rotor for enhanced grain separation and gentler handling, resulting in cleaner grain samples and reduced dockage. The grain tank holds around 220 bushels, and it unloads at approximately 2.2 bushels per second (132 bu/min). Available header widths ranged up to 30 feet, accommodating various field sizes and harvesting needs. Chopper and spreader options allowed for efficient residue management. The cab offered improved operator comfort and visibility compared to earlier models. The 9650 CTS excels at harvesting wheat, soybeans, and corn, providing a balance of capacity and grain quality, appealing to farmers seeking efficiency and minimal grain damage.

Maintenance Tips
- Concave Adjustment: Regularly inspect and adjust concave clearance according to the crop being harvested to optimize threshing and minimize grain damage.
- Belt and Chain Tension: Maintain proper tension on all belts and chains, as loose belts and chains can cause slippage, reduced performance, and premature wear.
- Sieve and Chaffer Cleaning: Clean the sieves and chaffer screens frequently to ensure proper airflow and efficient separation of grain from chaff and debris.
- Bearing Greasing: Regularly grease all bearings according to the manufacturer's recommendations to prevent overheating and extend bearing life, especially on the rotor and header components.
