Subject: LOL, your the only one with this problem


Central Illinois
Back about 1990, we had a new 9600 and started corn shelling in early September, before most other people. We could not keep it from grinding corn, no matter what. After having the salesman, service manager, and territory service rep tell us we didn't know how to set a combine, because no one else had any problems, the fireworks started. After that explosion, Deere sent a guy down from DTAC to set it up. Great guy, knew everything about a combine. He had three "kits" with him. When I asked the territory service manager what the other two kits were for, he sheepishly admitted that a couple other combines had problems. Two days later, I would have put that setup against a 9770 today. DTAC guy could flat out setup a combine. That winter at meetings, a lot of us had a laugh at Deere's famous "you're the only one" line. Reminds of a girl I used to know.
