A John Deere 9996 Cotton Picker is a self-propelled harvesting machine designed for mechanised cotton collection. John Deere is a globally recognised manufacturer of agricultural machinery and equipment serving large-scale farming operations across multiple crops and terrains.
This 2007 model is a two-wheel-drive unit configured with six rows and PRO-16 picker heads, enabling efficient harvesting across wide swaths of cotton fields. The machine is powered by a John Deere 8.1-litre six-cylinder turbodiesel engine rated at 350 horsepower and meeting Tier II emissions standards. Power is transmitted through a Hydrostat three-speed transmission, providing variable speed control suited to field conditions and crop density.
The chassis carries 5,976 operating hours, while the fan mechanism shows 4,446 hours, indicating differential component usage over the machine's service life. Tyres are sized at 20.8R42 on the dual front axle and 480/65R24 at the rear, appropriate for load-bearing and ground mobility in cotton-growing regions. The operator's cabin is equipped with air conditioning and a Comfort Command seat for extended harvest operations.
The integral cotton basket has a capacity of 1,400 cubic feet, allowing substantial in-field accumulation before transfer to external storage. A 345-gallon water tank is included, supporting dust suppression and operational efficiency during harvest. The machine is located in Arizona, USA, and is offered as a used unit in working condition.
