A John Deere 9700 Forage Harvester is a self-propelled chopping machine designed for harvesting and processing forage crops, including corn silage and grass. John Deere is a globally recognised manufacturer of agricultural machinery, and the 9700 is part of their professional-grade harvester lineup serving large-scale farming operations across North America and worldwide.
This 2020 example is equipped with a 759 PRO DRIVE powertrain and PRWD (power rear-wheel drive) configuration. The machine features a manual kernel processor for grain handling and a standard chute for crop discharge. Engine and cutterhead hours stand at 1650 and 1080 respectively, indicating moderate use for equipment of this class. The harvester rides on 900/60R42 tyres and is fitted with a high-arch spout for enhanced crop flow and operator visibility.
The cab is a deluxe specification with leather seating, designed for operator comfort during extended harvesting days. Row guidance sensors are integrated to assist with precise crop tracking and alignment, helping to maximise harvest efficiency and minimise crop loss. A metal detector is installed as a safety feature to protect the cutting and processing components from foreign objects. The machine also includes Harvest Lab instrumentation for monitoring and optimising operational performance.
An extended powertrain warranty remains in effect until 31 July 2025. The machine is currently located in Montana, USA, and is listed at $394,700.
