John Deere combine harvesters – other models: from the 1450 CWS through the STS to the WTS range from East Moline and Zweibrücken, six-cylinders of 133 to 328 kW
This page gathers the John Deere combine harvesters the register could not assign to a named range – from the older 1450 CWS and 1550 CWS to the STS and WTS combines of the 9500 to 9800 series. John Deere builds its combines in East Moline, Illinois, and, for the European market, in Zweibrücken, Germany. The STS technology introduced in 1999 replaced the classic straw walkers with a single rotor (Single Tine Separator) for threshing and separation; WTS marks the version with wider track undercarriage for softer ground.

The register lists here 11 versions with 133 to 328.1 kW from six-cylinders of 6,800.6 to 13,501.3 cm³, fitted among others with the PowerTech engines 6068H and 6081H, at rated speeds of 2,200 to 2,400 rpm.
The STS range was among the best-selling big combines of Europe and North America for over two decades, and its rotor technology became the basis of the later S and T series; the WTS versions additionally opened up wet and sloping ground. In Europe John Deere sold the STS combines through a dealer network reaching both large arable farms and contracting businesses.
On used combines, the condition of the threshing and separating rotor, sieves and chopper, header mounting and hydraulics count, on WTS models additionally the track undercarriage, plus operating hours and service history; parts run through the Deere network.
