The story
The 9600 was the top model of John Deere's 9000 series, launched for 1989 to replace the long-running 20 Series. Deere engineers described the range in a 1989 technical paper as the result of a simultaneous engineering effort shaped by farmer surveys.
Changes included a larger diameter cylinder and concave, a cleaning system designed to cope with slopes, gearcases in place of many belt drives, hydrostatic ground drive and electronically governed engines. The 9600 used five straw walkers 4.5 m long.
Through the early 1990s it gained power and, in 1993, HarvesTrak. It was replaced by the 9610 in 1998, and the 9000 series ended in 1999 when the 50 Series arrived.
