The largest and most technologically advanced combine harvester in the world makes its debut at the Great Yorkshire Show this week.

The state-of-the-art machine, is described as one of the star attractions at the show, which returns to the famous Harrogate Showground from Tuesday to Friday.

The John Deere X9 1100 combine harvester will be taking pride of place at the Ripon Farm Services stand at the showground.

Richard Simpson, commercial director of Ripon Farm Services, said: “We are immensely proud to be showcasing the splendid combine harvester at the Great Yorkshire Show this year. It is an absolutely amazing machine, stunning to look at and wonderful to drive, as well as being incredibly efficient.

“The X9 is the largest combine harvester ever to grace the Great Yorkshire Show.”

The flagship machine represents the next level of John Deere harvesting performance and can harvest wheat at an impressive 100 tonnes per hour, with less than one per cent grain loss.

The 35-year old Ripon Farm Services, one of the largest agricultural equipment dealers in the UK with 260 staff, will also be highlighting the qualities of other pioneering machines at the show including the x9’s stable mate the John Deere 8RX Tractor.
