John Deere 9860STS Combine Parts
9860STS parts and accessories
The John Deere 9860STS combine, manufactured from 2003 to 2010, was a powerhouse known for its high-capacity harvesting. Powered by a robust engine producing over 350 horsepower, it handled wide headers effectively. The heart of this machine was its single-rotor separator, which proved popular among farmers seeking increased throughput and grain quality compared to conventional combines.
The John Deere 9860STS was introduced in 2003 as part of the STS (Single Tine Separation) combine series and remained in production until 2010. It's equipped with a John Deere 9.0L PowerTech engine producing 375 horsepower (max boost to 400 HP). This displacement provided ample power for demanding harvest conditions. The 9860STS uses a single-rotor separator, featuring a bullet rotor design with adjustable concaves for optimal threshing and separation. Grain tank capacity is 300 bushels, and the unloading auger boasts a speed of 3.0 bu/sec (180 bu/min). Compatible header widths range from 20 to 36 feet, allowing for efficient harvesting across various crop types. Chopper and spreader options were available to manage residue effectively. The cab featured enhanced comfort and technology, including advanced monitoring systems. The 9860STS excels in harvesting corn, soybeans, wheat, and other small grains due to its high capacity and efficient separation system.

Maintenance Tips
- Concave Adjustment: Regularly inspect and adjust concave clearance according to the crop being harvested. Proper clearance minimizes grain loss and maximizes threshing efficiency.
- Belt and Chain Tension: Maintain proper tension on all belts and chains to ensure smooth operation and prevent premature wear. Check for wear and replace as needed.
- Sieve and Chaffer Cleaning: Regularly clean the sieves and chaffer to prevent buildup of debris, which can reduce cleaning efficiency and increase grain loss.
- Bearing Greasing: Follow the manufacturer's recommended greasing schedule for all bearings to ensure proper lubrication and prevent bearing failure.
