John Deere Updates MY2027 X9 and S7 Combines

Moline, Illinois - Deere & Company., an agricultural machinery manufacturer, has introduced new updates for its model year 2027 X9 and S7 combines and front-end equipment, adding more predictive and automated technology to improve harvesting efficiency in changing crop conditions.

One of the main additions is Harvest Settings Automation, which automatically adjusts key combine settings such as concave clearance, fan speed, rotor speed, sieve clearance, and chaffer clearance based on the machine model, crop type, and geolocation. For MY2027, the system now also supports lentils, peas, rye, triticale, oats, and sunflowers, in addition to crops already covered.

The company has also enhanced Predictive Ground Speed Automation, first introduced for MY2025. The system uses satellite data, terrain maps, and cab-mounted cameras to regulate combine speed based on crop conditions and field obstacles. For MY2027, it adds Green Crop Detection, allowing the machine to identify green material in mature stands and make more accurate speed adjustments.

Another update lets operators set a crop throughput target, helping the machine better balance speed, grain quality, and grain loss during harvest.

John Deere said Harvest Settings Automation and Predictive Ground Speed Automation are now more closely integrated, allowing them to work together for better overall performance.

The company is also offering Precision Upgrade automation packages for MY25 and newer S7 and X9 combines, giving customers a way to unlock higher technology packages and added automation features without buying a new machine.
