So I got some time with the S770 at the dealer lot last week. First off, cab feels a lot nicer than what I'm used to, that new seat and layout, it's way less crammed and everything in there makes sense. All the switches and multi-handle right where I want 'em, except the throttle setup could be better, not a fan of the three-step deal. Still, the overall comfort's up a notch and you can feel that right away.

As for the wiring, John Deere really stepped up. Way better routing compared to some Case machines I’ve run, and less headache chasing shorts. The rest of it is just kinda typical updates-better cab entrance, clean grain elevator is the old style but that’s whatever for me. I do notice a lot of belts around the rear and not in love with that for long-term maintenance, but nothing shocking. All in all, solid improvements but there’s still room for little tweaks here and there.

Got to try out the S770 recently. The engine has solid power, and it handles full loads effortlessly. I appreciate the sizable cab with a good view, but I found the control layout to be a bit overwhelming initially. It's a reliable machine, but it takes a moment to familiarize yourself with all its functionalities.

I've had some seat time in the S770 lately. The active yield thing is really handy-calibrating's basically a non-issue now. Makes setup way faster, especially if you're always moving fields. The automation side is cool, sure, but sometimes feels like I could just crank some stuff myself and save the fuss, maybe I'm old school. Ergonomics are solid, the seat swivels just right when watching the auger, you don't have to twist up like before. Some of the electronics can feel like too much tech if you're just wanting to get going and not fiddle. Reliability's been spot on so far, no hiccups mechanically. Service and parts still cost you though-JD never surprises there.

This combine was an interesting setup. I tried it on a few fields, and while the cab enhancements impressed me, the maintenance accessibility left a bit to be desired. Performance-wise, it handles decently.

After spending a season running the S770, here's my two cents. It's a solid performer, no doubt. It managed our 16-row heads without issue, adapting well to rolling terrains. However, when comparing it to higher-class combines, there are noticeable differences, such as slightly lower cleaning capacity and unloading speed. Still, it balances these with advantages like manageable fuel consumption and sufficient power for most practical operations. I'd suggest looking closely at your operation scale before committing.

So I've put in some long hours with this S770, mostly corn (central IL). The auto-adjust system's cool, but sometimes wish it let me do a bit more myself-old habits die hard I guess. Camera on the grain elevator is handy, does help check for splits and trash. Controls are better than the last rig I used, pretty easy to figure it all out in one night. Ride's decent and noise in the cab wasn't too bad, though seat could be softer if I'm picky. Not super happy with the cost for all the shiny new stuff, but I doubt that's changing. No breakdowns yet, crossing fingers.

Used the S770 in the last harvest season. That auto-adjust feature really saves a ton of time; it’s quick and responsive. The addition of the camera is a thoughtful touch, giving a real-time view of the grain flow that’s unexpectedly useful-helps improve process quality. Cost of maintenance appears average-not overly high but manageable. Wish it had slightly better interface controls, but all in all, it does the job pretty well.

I've been using the John Deere S770 for a couple of harvest seasons now, and I'm quite impressed. The Combine Advisor package is a real game-changer. It automates adjustments to keep grain cleanliness and losses at optimal levels. The integrated cameras give real-time feedback on tailings and clean grain, which has been so helpful. The ergonomics of the control setup make long days less taxing, though occasionally the responsiveness of some automation does lag slightly behind changing field conditions. Overall, it's made operations more efficient for me.

Just wrapped up my first season with the S770, and here's my take. The Gen 4 command center is pretty user-friendly, and being able to run an extended monitor is a nice touch. The automate features like Active Terrain Adjustment work great on varying land, but setup can take some tweaking. The seat adjustments and swivel definitely reduce strain during operation. However, I did notice that Auto Maintain occasionally requires manual intervention to optimize settings fully. For the investment, it performs well.

So, I ran this model recently. The CVT feature is a plus, though I felt some of the adjustments could use tweaking. The wiring layout seems well-organized and gives a good impression. Overall, reliable and gets the job done.
