SE SD | If it were me, I'd go with the 9570R. I had a 9560R that was a total lemon. That 13.5L Deere engine has a lot of problems, especially in the higher horsepower models. My 1st S680 combine went down too with the same engine. My neighbor had two machines with the 13.5L that went bust on them as well. I traded my 9560R for a 9570R and so far have been happy with the upgrade. Mine doesn't have the suspension and I didn't want it anyway. It's just one more thing to fix and maintain in my opinion.
9570R
Pros:
Cummins engine instead of the Junk 13.5L from Deere
Better Air filter design. Easier to change and can blow them out.
Easier to change fuel filters and hydraulic filters
Way easier/faster to check and re-fill Hydraulic Oil reservoir.
Def-fluid engine burns cleaner. Oil stays cleaner.
4600 screen & processor on the armrest
Better designed seat with better swivel, backrest, and redesigned command arm.
Better designed and re-fined transmission.
Better designed and re-fined efficiency manager.
Cons:
It's more of a pain to fuel up due to the relocation of the fuel tank.
Rides a little rougher due to the fuel tank location.
Forward visibility is worse (bigger exhaust & air cleaner moved to the left hand side)
It has a Def-fluid drinking addiction. Re-fill a lot.
Harder to see the hitch when hooking up implements. Can still see the drawbar, but barely. (can add a camera to solve this issue)
The steps are STEEP! The hired man and I have both slipped off the ladder when exiting the cab.
I've only put about 300 hours on it so far, so I'll have a better idea of the reliability in the years ahead, but it sure can't be worse than that 9560R. Good luck!
