Introducing The John Deere 2660VT And John Deere 2680H

Sep 27, 2018

Let’s take a closer look at the John Deere 2660VT and 2680H to discover their value on the field.

John Deere 2660VT Variable-Intensity Tillage Tool

The John Deere 2660VT Variable-Intensity Tillage Tool is available in six models with working widths from 20 to 50 feet, in three- and five-section configurations. Operators have the choice of tire options to suit specific needs, including radial, bias or high-floatation tires. Other choices include Walk-Over™ tandem wheels which can provide excellent stability and floatation or stabilizer wheel options which are available based on configuration.

Front-mounted active-hydraulic depth control castering wheels on outer winds come standard on all five-section configurations. The John Deere 2660VT also has compact transport dimensions to help you move between fields with ease, enhancing productivity each day. The three-section models are under 14 feet high, and the five-section models fold to less than 15.5-feet wide. In addition, the John Deere 2660VT also features the two-part ProFinish Leveling system which effectively reduces clods and pin residue.

John Deere 2680H High-Performance Disk

The John Deere 2680H High-Performance Disk can be used for tillage throughout both the fall and the spring. With a capability of traveling at speeds up to 14 miles per hour, this machine can cover more ground in a shorter amount of time. Ultimately, this results in more productivity efficiency for operators.

The disk has individual 20-inch smooth or notched disk blades mounted on a rubber torsion suspension system. This allows the blades to follow the contours of the ground for an overall smoother ride. The blades, which have 10-inch spacing for maximum residue flow, are angled 17 degrees on the front rank and 14 degrees on the rear rank for aggressive horizontal soil movement.The John Deere 2680H High-Performance Disk has an easy-to-manage depth control system, along with greaseless bushings and bearings that increase uptime and reduce the need for frequent maintenance.

Fifteen different models are available from an eight-foot model to drawn models of up to 45-feet wide. The goal is to match customers’ acreage size and horsepower requirements.

Video: Is China Buying US Soybeans + USDA Nov 14th Crop Report could be “Game Changing”

After a week of a U.S./China trade truce, markets/trade is skeptical that we have not seen a signed agreement nor heard much from China or seen any details. There are rumors that China is buying soybean futures & not the physical. Trust in Trump?
12 MMT of U.S. soybean purchases by China by year-end is better than 0 but we all need to give it more time and give it a chance to unfold. China did lower the tariffs on Ag and is buying U.S. wheat and sorghum.
U.S. supreme court could rule against Trumps tariffs, but the Trump administration does have a plan B.
U.S. government shutdown is now the longest in history at 38 days.
But despite a U.S. government shutdown we will be getting a USDA November crop report next Friday and it could be “game changing.” If the USDA provides a bullish surprise with lower U.S. corn and soybean yields and ending stocks that are lower than expected both corn and soybean futures will break out above their ceilings at $4.35/bu and $11.35/bu respectively.
The funds continued their selling in live and feeder cattle futures on continued fears that the Trump administration want to lower U.S. beef prices. The fundamentals have not changed, only market psychology has.
Stocks markets continue to worry about a weak U.S. job market, but you can blame ChatGPT for that. In the future, we will have a more efficient, productive and growing economy with a higher unemployment rate until we have more skilled AI workers.
After 34 new record highs in the S & P 500 and 124 new records in the NASDAQ in 2025 we are back to a correction and investor profit taking as AI valuations may have gotten too stretched near-term ahead of NVDA’s 3rd quarter earnings announcement on Nov. 19th. But this is not an AI bubble.
75% of Tesla shareholders approved a $1 trillion pay package for Elon Musk!
It has rained in South America in the last 7 days, but both the American and European models agree that Central Brazil remains dry in the next 14-days!
