Auto Maintain with ActiveVision cameras is technology that works to automatically adjust five primary S700 Combine settings to maintain the user set performance target. When harvesting corn, soybeans, wheat, canola, or barley, the combine will maintain the performance of everything from grain loss and grain quality, to foreign material in the grain tank. The ActiveVision cameras, along with grain loss monitors, are specifically designed to identify the impact of crop condition changes and adjust the combine to maintain the performance target, allowing the operator to focus on other challenges of harvest.
Feature benefits:
Simplify harvest by automating the critical workload of constantly managing combine settings when conditions change
Increase productivity by allowing ActiveVision cameras to identify and address tough-to-spot problems such as cracked grain
Provide flexibility in planning overall business and increase the efficiency of the combine independent of operator experience
Functionality
Auto Maintain looks at the level at which the combine is performing, sets that as the goal, and automates combine settings to continually hit the target performance goal over time. Auto Maintain uses existing sensor inputs along with the ActiveVision cameras to make decisions for accurate combine adjustments. It does not use grain moisture as an input, however. Auto Maintain is able to hit the target goal by automatically making adjustments to the threshing speed, concave clearance, chaffer clearance, sieve clearance, and fan speed. The ActiveVision cameras have been trained to analyze the clean grain and tailings material and input that analysis into the Auto Maintain system. Auto Maintain will show the operator how it has been performing with a constantly updating historical graph of losses, grain quality, and foreign material in the clean grain. The green-shaded area below indicates the performance targets set. The colored lines show the ongoing levels of losses and quality. For example, the green, purple, and orange lines below show a period of time outside of the green-shaded acceptable area. Auto Maintain recognizes this and makes the appropriate adjustments to meet the set targets.
The ActiveVision cameras can detect broken and unthreshed grain. The cameras will also detect lightweight and heavy foreign material to make the appropriate combine settings changes. The system provides a live feed of both the grain and tailings cameras and will highlight the parameters outlined to make it easier to analyze. The live view and historical graphs update constantly, and the cameras will even tell the operator if there is debris on the lens.
![]() | Combine Advisor with Auto Maintain is available as a factory-installed option on combines since model year 2018. Auto Maintain is compatible in corn, soybeans, wheat, canola, and barley. Retrofit kits, BXE11034 and BXE11035 are available. Please refer to that section for more information. |
The 4600 CommandCenter is the central information system used on all John Deere S700 Combines starting in 2018. The display allows the operator to view various important harvest and diagnostic information during harvesting and see it in a layout based on operator preferences. The 4600 CommandCenter has been developed in combination with the CommandARM™ console and the multifunction control lever to deliver outstanding ergonomics paired with best-in-class natural navigation.
Feature benefits:
Functionality:
Five run pages can be configured by the operator according to their preferences for easy, logical, and intuitive operation. By scrolling to the left and right on the display, the operator can conveniently switch from run page to run page just like on a smartphone. In addition, the operator can switch the run pages from the multifunction control lever. This means the operator does not have to move their hand off of the controls but is still able to navigate through run pages.

The 4600 CommandCenter features up to nine configurable buttons, allowing operators to personalize the access to their favorite apps so they spend less time browsing through the menu.
Below the 4600 CommandCenter the operator will find 14 shortcut keys guiding directly through the most important areas during the harvesting day, saving time and clicks as well as keeping the main focus on the harvest.
The 14 shortcut keys below display grants quick and easy access:
Operators that prefer even more digital surface than the 4600 CommandCenter are able to equip their S700 Combine with an Extended Monitor on the cornerpost. The Extended Monitor includes a bracket and adapter harness. The bracket allows the operator to flip up the Extended Monitor for improved visibility during road transport and maneuvering the combine.
The 4600 CommandCenter in the armrest supports following features:
The 4600 CommandCenter features a modular-designed layout manager, so operators can easily create the page views that meet their needs. From the factory, machines are equipped with default run pages. An unlimited number of run pages can be added to the 4600 CommandCenter based on operator preference or operational needs. Toggling between run pages is as easy as using the arrow buttons on the top right portion of the title bar.

NOTE: Active Concave Isolation is only available on S780 and S790 Combines.
ACI increases throughput in tough threshing small grains and rice without sacrificing overall grain savings. This system allows producers to continue to harvest outside the optimal harvest window and conditions. The concaves are suspended by hydraulic cylinders that increase the amount of crop that is being threshed as well as reduces the amount of rotor noise that is heard by the operator.
The ACI feature hydraulically suspends the concaves; the consistency of the concave gap is increased along with decreasing sensor drift for a more accurate concave distance. Material flow through the threshing section of the machine is smoother, giving more consistent threshing.
The industry-exclusive ProDrive system uses PowerShift™ transmission technology to automatically shift between two speed ranges as ground conditions and terrain change to keep the combine harvesting at the desired ground speed. Valuable harvest time will no longer be lost shifting on hills and when exiting fields to start transporting.
Feature benefit:
The ProDrive system on S700 Combines includes an integrated HarvestSmart™ feedrate control system to provide the maximum productivity and reduce operator stress and fatigue.
Functionality:
The ProDrive hydrostatic motor has a higher displacement than the previous hydrostatic systems. Both the pump and motor are variable-displacement components that allow ProDrive to maintain high levels of torque to the ground throughout each of the two operating-speed ranges.
Range one can be set for typical harvesting speeds. Range two can be used when higher speeds are needed during harvest or when transporting the combine.
The ground speed can be infinitely varied within both modes by the operator, using the multifunction control lever on the CommandARM™ armrest console. The multifunction lever regulates the high-capacity, variable hydrostatic pump and motor that drives the ground speed.
Using the navigation tools on the armrest, the operator can dial in the desired maximum-attainable speed within each of the two speed ranges. The maximum forward speed in either range can be set from 0 to 38.6 km/h (0 to 24 mph). The maximum speed in range one cannot be set higher than the maximum speed for range two. For example, if a maximum harvest speed of 13 km/h (8 mph) is desired and set, the full forward position of the hydrostatic control handle will deliver the speed of 13 km/h (8 mph).
The ProDrive transmission is equipped with an electrohydraulic differential lock with a four-pinion differential. Non-ProDrive combines have a two-pinion differential. When operating in muddy, hilly terrain or in sandy conditions that may cause one of the tires to lose traction, this differential lock enables the operator to maintain productivity. If traction is lost, the operator can quickly and easily engage the differential lock by pressing the differential lock button on the CommandARM armrest console. An indicator light within the button alerts the operator that the differential locking feature is engaged.
The TriStream rotor is unique to John Deere because it features a slightly tapered design in the threshing area for best-in-class grain quality while dramatically reducing the growling that often comes with heavy rotor loads. The TriStream rotor is recommended for producers who harvest mainly coarse grains along with easy-threshing small grains.
The spiral vanes surrounding the rotor guide the crop material through the threshing and separating area in a pull-and-release action to improve performance. This John Deere S700 Combine feature will generate less power consumption.
Feature benefits:
Functionality:
Fifteen cast-constructed threshing elements provide superior material handling with excellent grain quality. The elements spiral around the rotor to control material flow. In some harvesting environments, the dense-pack configuration (nine additional threshing elements) may be necessary.
Conical top covers allow for smooth material movement within the threshing and separating area. The top covers have a radius larger than the rotor, allowing the material to expand as it travels along the top of the rotor. This design uses the pull-and-release action of crop material, aiding in the threshing and separating to reduce power consumption.
The industry-exclusive variable-stream rotor features a tapered design in the threshing section, which improves crop flow, enhances grain quality, and reduces power consumption. The variable-stream rotor with adjustable top cover transport vanes is recommended for producers of rice and in tough threshing conditions.
The variable-stream rotor smooths crop flow during tough handling conditions to maximize throughput. Along with the tough-material handling capabilities of the variable-stream rotor configuration, the straw quality and length can be improved due to the electrically adjustable top cover transport vanes.
Feature benefits:
Functionality:
Fifteen cast-constructed threshing elements provide superior handling, improved durability and serviceability, and maintain excellent grain quality. The elements spiral around the rotor to move and control the material. In some harvesting conditions, 12 additional bolt-on threshing tines may be installed for increased material handling.
Rear discharge flights and a tapered rear cone improve material handoff to the rear discharge beater.
Electrically adjustable transport vanes allow operators to change the vane angle within the cab. Longer straw length can be accomplished when vanes are in the advanced position.
ActiveYield delivers automatic yield calibrations to the operator without spending time manually performing yield calibrations.
Feature benefit:
Functionality:
ActiveYield eliminates time-consuming manual yield calibrations and replaces them with automated sensors that calibrate the machine by measuring the grain as the tank fills. This enables decisions to be made in real time without leaving the cab.
When the ActiveYield option is enabled and the Terrain Compensation Module (TCM) in the StarFire™ 3000 or StarFire 6000 Receiver has been calibrated, ActiveYield is ready to go to work. As grain is harvested and enters the tank, the three sensors within the grain tank collectively measure the grain as it piles over the cross auger covers. If all conditions are acceptable (header and separator on, grain is flowing, and machine level is within 4 degrees) load collection occurs from 900 through 3000 kg (2000 through 6600 lb).
Any pitch and roll of more than 4 degrees from center during load collection will cause the system to reject that load due to the grain pile shifting in the tank. A new calibration load starts once grain is below the sensors on the cross auger covers.
Stored calibration loads are replaced by new ones as the system continues to collect data. The system may be disabled at any time by accessing the moisture setup page and unchecking the ActiveYield box if manual yield calibration is desired.
ActiveYield is available for model year 2016 through model year 2019 S760, S770, S780, and S790 Combines and requires the 4600 CommandCenter™ Display, GreenStar™ 3 2630 Display, or GreenStar 3 CommandCenter. Additionally, a StarFire 3000 or 6000 Receiver must be installed on the combine with the TCM calibrated for ActiveYield to detect machine pitch correctly. Manual yield calibration is not required as each crop has a built-in default value.
Harvest Doc™ system yield data collected by an ActiveYield system is only compatible with the John Deere Operations Center. John Deere does not guarantee compatibility of ActiveYield collected documentation with John Deere APEX™ software or third-party software systems.
The Dyna-Flo Plus cleaning shoe is the heart of the S700 Combine cleaning system. The system is made up of a unique design consisting of aluminum and high-strength steel that reduces overall weight while maintaining overall strength. The Dyna-Flo Plus cleaning shoe also features an enhanced drive system that requires only one flywheel for optimal shoe performance and maximizes uptime.
Feature benefit:
The Dyna-Flo Plus cleaning system begins with conveyor augers located beneath the concave area, where the volume of threshed material is highest, to evenly move material onto the cleaning shoe (1). The deep auger troughs provide uniform distribution of material to the cleaning shoe with less bunching, even on sloping terrain and when harvesting up and down hills.
Once grain is on the cleaning shoe, the raised-center front chaffer cleans up to 40 percent of free grain before it reaches the main chaffer (3). High-velocity air from the cleaning fan elevates any light material traveling over the end of the front chaffer, resulting in more aggressive separation of chaff and increased cleaning performance (2). The main chaffer provides grain separation from chaff as the grain passes through the main chaffer to the sieve (4).
The sieve provides proper sizing of grain from material other than grain (5). Any grain that passes through the sieve is elevated to the grain tank while some grain or material other than grain flows to the tailings return system for reprocessing. On S760, and S770 Combines, the tailings material is directed back into the threshing section of the separator for additional threshing. The tailings material on the S780 and S790 Combines are directed to the active tailings return system for additional threshing, and then directed back on the return pan and then onto the main chaffer for additional cleaning (6).

Harvest is hectic. Producers are focusing on getting all the crop from the field to the bin within a tight harvest window. Using Machine Sync, those producers can focus more on grain harvest and grain quality, and worry less about keeping the grain cart under the spout when unloading on the go. Gen 4 Machine Sync provides a solution to harvest stress by creating a wireless network between the tractor and combine to enable on-the-go unloading by synchronizing tractor speed and direction of travel with the combine.
Machine Sync works with In-Field Data Sharing to show the location of all combines and tractors within the fleet of Gen 4 machines harvesting in the field. Knowing the exact location of multiple combines as well as their grain tank fill level and unloading auger status allows the grain cart operators to be in the right place at the right time.
The Generation 4 CommandCenter was designed to provide a consistent user experience by providing full-screen viewing of more run page modules, shortcut keys, and precision agriculture capabilities.
Expect easier set-up, along with increased operator confidence, thanks to a simple, customizable interface. The improved design of the Generation 4 CommandCenter also aids in an optimal operating experience and maximizes uptime.

NOTE: Vehicle applications will always be located on the Gen 4 CommandCenter.
Designed for performance in coarse grain crops, the TriStream© rotor and Dyna-Flo© Plus cleaning shoe efficiently thresh and clean grain in tough harvesting conditions. The TriStream rotor helps maximize fuel efficiency with technology that reduces the force required to move material through the combine by as much as 20 percent. High capacity starts at the feeder house, where the S Series provides large areas of clearance for high volumes of crop to flow uninterrupted.
Truly tough conditions demand more than simple solutions. Rather than slightly improve performance in rice, canola, wheat, barley, oats, or other tough small grains, John Deere S7 Combines set new capacity standards with four crucial components: Active Concave Isolation, a high-performance feeder house, heavy-duty interrupter grates with integrated interrupters, and the variable-stream rotor. When youâre looking at a storm on the radar and you donât have time to spare, you can run full throttle and still put your toughest crop into the machine without any issues.
The more time you can spend harvesting and the less time spent making adjustments means more daily performance. The S Series Combine offers more convenience from the cab with platform tilt, precision residue, and easy crop changeover when itâs time to move fields. Whatever harvest throws at you, you can keep moving with the touch of a button.
The faster you can get to ™ and into ™ your fields, the more productive you are. John Deere S7 Series Combines make it easy. Tracks help you get into the field sooner and finish faster. The ProDrive© system lets you smoothly shift between two speed ranges (field and transport) with the push of a button; youâll no longer have to stop to shift when going up or down hills or when youâre exiting a field.
The S Series Combine Select cab is a great place to spend a long harvesting day. The intuitive CommandARM© console, along with the G5Plus CommandCenter© Display, delivers easy-to-understand harvest run screens. The multi-function lever fits your hand perfectly to give you smooth hydrostatic speed control, unloading options, and more. An air-suspension swivel seat adjusts four ways with lumbar adjustments to give you just the right amount of support. For even more comfort, step into the Premium cab, equipped with a leather steering wheel, a leather, lumbar-supported operator seat that is heated and ventilated, plus a folding instructor seat. Even small cab comforts can make a big difference over long harvest days.
S Series Combines deliver more precision with integrated technologies to help you make upcoming business decisions with more accuracy. They learn on-the-go to improve your harvest, reduce losses, or leave cleaner grain. Youâll collect more accurate data, the automated technologies will improve harvesting results, and connecting all your machines will help you make more informed decisions. Whatâs even better, they do much of this automatically in the background without you having to worry about it, so you can focus on the harvest.

The side hill performance package can improve combine performance on slopes up to 8 degrees (14 percent) by substantially reducing cleaning shoe grain loss to acceptable levels.
Feature benefit:
Functionality:
The side hill kit installed in the cleaning shoe of S700 Combines allows grain to be evenly distributed across the entire width of the shoe when harvesting in slopes. As grain moves to the rear of the combine, the dividers keep grain contained into four individual bays which prevents overloading one side of the cleaning shoe. Additionally, the rubber agitator paddles in each individual bay work with the oscillating motion of the cleaning shoe to move grain toward the center of each bay for increased utilization of the entire cleaning shoe width for increased performance and productivity.

The Dyna-Flo Plus cleaning shoe is the heart of the S700 Combine cleaning system. The system is made up of a unique design consisting of aluminum and high-strength steel that reduces overall weight while maintaining overall strength. The Dyna-Flo Plus cleaning shoe also features an enhanced drive system that requires only one flywheel for optimal shoe performance and maximizes uptime.
Feature benefit:
The Dyna-Flo Plus cleaning system begins with conveyor augers located beneath the concave area, where the volume of threshed material is highest, to evenly move material onto the cleaning shoe (1). The deep auger troughs provide uniform distribution of material to the cleaning shoe with less bunching, even on sloping terrain and when harvesting up and down hills.
Once grain is on the cleaning shoe, the raised-center front chaffer cleans up to 40 percent of free grain before it reaches the main chaffer (3). High-velocity air from the cleaning fan elevates any light material traveling over the end of the front chaffer, resulting in more aggressive separation of chaff and increased cleaning performance (2). The main chaffer provides grain separation from chaff as the grain passes through the main chaffer to the sieve (4).
The sieve provides proper sizing of grain from material other than grain (5). Any grain that passes through the sieve is elevated to the grain tank while some grain or material other than grain flows to the tailings return system for reprocessing. On S760, and S770 Combines, the tailings material is directed back into the threshing section of the separator for additional threshing. The tailings material on the S780 and S790 Combines are directed to the active tailings return system for additional threshing, and then directed back on the return pan and then onto the main chaffer for additional cleaning (6).
The concave inserts provide the additional threshing action required for harvesting small grain with the round-bar/multi-crop concave.
Feature benefits:
Functionality:
The concave insert assembly consists of an over-center latching mechanism, left-hand support bracket, and the threshing insert. The over-center latch and support bracket bolt to the round-bar concave and remain in place, enabling quick installation and removal of the threshing insert as needed - no tools required. These concave inserts are recommended for use with the round-bar/multi-crop concave in small-grain crops. The attachment includes a set of two inserts for use in the front concave section only.
Additional threshing tine base weldments for installation into the DensePack locations of a variable-stream rotor can only be used to improve material handling in some tougher conditions such as rice and grass seed harvest. This may decrease machine performance if used in dry, brittle-crop conditions.
Feature benefit:
Wear plate kits (grain versus rice) must be ordered separately through Service Parts.
Rotor discharge flights are available for STS combines when operating in specialty crops. The discharge flights are recommended for use in crops such as sunflowers and edible beans when operating in conditions that require rotor threshing speeds below 300 rpm.
The discharge flights are designed to provide an aggressive push to the slow-moving crop material as it moves from the rotor housing into the discharge beater. The additional kick provided by the paddle design of the flighting significantly improves material flow and reduces possible plugging at the rear of the rotor at extremely low threshing speeds.
When operating in other crops where rotor speeds higher than 300 rpm are required (for example, soybeans, wheat, rice, etc.), it is recommended the discharge flights BE REMOVED to ensure adequate and even material flow through the rotor, as well as to provide better residue spread.
IMPORTANT: Discharge flight paddles are NOT recommended for use in heavy, damp wheat or rice crops.
The discharge flight is for use on any 9650 STS, 9750 STS, 9660 STS, 9760 STS, 9860 STS, 9670 STS, 9770 STS, and 9870 STS Combines and does not require the combine to be fitted with any particular configuration of rotor discharge housings.
NOTE: Two rotor discharge flight paddles for 9560 STS, 9570 STS, and S550 STS Combines, AH219961 and AH219962, can be ordered through Service Parts.
Concave sectionalized cover plates for round-bar concaves help to increase performance in the threshing area in tough conditions and can improve material distribution from the concaves to the cleaning system.

The rotary screen brush kit adds a series of brushes to the rotary screen. The brushes prevent debris from building up on the screen, allowing full air flow to the engine for cooling.
The smooth-wear strips provide optimum grain quality in speciality crops such as popcorn and food corn. The bundle includes set of 30 wear strips to replace standard-equipment serrated wear strips.
The slow-speed drive reduces the standard two-speed feed accelerator from 450 rpm/800 rpm to 320 rpm/770 rpm.
These lower speeds allow the feed accelerator to provide more gentle grain handling in delicate specialty crops such as edible beans, food corn, or popcorn.
Having the slow-speed feed accelerator drive available as a factory-installed option allows those who plan on using this drive for harvesting all their crops to save the cost of discarding the standard feed accelerator drive parts in the field.
The serrated feed accelerator wings have a smooth contoured back to provide fast yet gentle crop handling while also featuring serrated edges for positive crop movement in viney crops such as edible beans.
The updated feed accelerator wings are recommended in place of the optional smooth accelerator wear strips attachment because they help to provide excellent grain quality without compromising feeding performance in edible beans.
The fast, easy way to let the operator know the combine’s grain tank is full when harvesting on side hills.
Functionality:
An additional grain tank level indicator is available to help detect a full grain tank.
The beacon lights are also activated when the combine is in road transport mode.
Active Terrain Adjustment is a system that enhances grain quality and reduces grain loss when harvesting on ascending or descending hills. The feature automatically adjusts the combine’s sieve and chaffer openings and carefully controls the cleaning fan speed, stabilizing tailings levels and ensuring a clean grain tank sample.
Feature benefit:
Achieves same loss level as on level land conditions (on hills up to 10 degrees)
Tailings reductions by up to 35 percent on 8-12-degree inclines
Automatic settings adjustments on hills
Functionality:
Order Active Terrain Adjustment as a factory-installed option or as an attachment for field installation on model year 2016 machines and newer (PIN 785000 -). The feature can be used in both coarse and small grains in all terrain, but will excel especially on hills.
When the machine starts an uphill climb, Active Terrain Adjustment will slow the cleaning fan down and open the chaffer and sieve elements. As the machine descends a hill, the cleaning fan speed will increase and the chaffer and sieve elements will close to decrease grain loss and prevent shoe loading.
The large tool cabinet is available on model year 2019 and newer combines models.

ActiveYield delivers automatic yield calibrations to the operator without spending time manually performing yield calibrations.
Feature benefit:
Functionality:
ActiveYield eliminates time-consuming manual yield calibrations and replaces them with automated sensors that calibrate the machine by measuring the grain as the tank fills. This enables decisions to be made in real time without leaving the cab.
When the ActiveYield option is enabled and the Terrain Compensation Module (TCM) in the StarFire™ 3000 or StarFire 6000 Receiver has been calibrated, ActiveYield is ready to go to work. As grain is harvested and enters the tank, the three sensors within the grain tank collectively measure the grain as it piles over the cross auger covers. If all conditions are acceptable (header and separator on, grain is flowing, and machine level is within 4 degrees) load collection occurs from 900 through 3000 kg (2000 through 6600 lb).
Any pitch and roll of more than 4 degrees from center during load collection will cause the system to reject that load due to the grain pile shifting in the tank. A new calibration load starts once grain is below the sensors on the cross auger covers.
Stored calibration loads are replaced by new ones as the system continues to collect data. The system may be disabled at any time by accessing the moisture setup page and unchecking the ActiveYield box if manual yield calibration is desired.
ActiveYield is available for model year 2016 through model year 2019 S760, S770, S780, and S790 Combines and requires the 4600 CommandCenter™ Display, GreenStar™ 3 2630 Display, or GreenStar 3 CommandCenter. Additionally, a StarFire 3000 or 6000 Receiver must be installed on the combine with the TCM calibrated for ActiveYield to detect machine pitch correctly. Manual yield calibration is not required as each crop has a built-in default value.
Harvest Doc™ system yield data collected by an ActiveYield system is only compatible with the John Deere Operations Center. John Deere does not guarantee compatibility of ActiveYield collected documentation with John Deere APEX™ software or third-party software systems.
S680 and S690 Combines are equipped with manual-folding grain tank extensions and fewer covers in base equipment. Power-folding grain tank extensions/covers with a folding grain tank loading auger is available as optional equipment. The 400-bu manual-fold grain tank extension attachment allows for the conversion of power-folding covers to manual grain tank extensions.
