Harvest season is a race against time—and John Deere knows it. That’s why they’ve rolled out the S7 800 Combine, a completely redesigned machine built from the ground up to help you work smarter, faster, and more comfortably in even the toughest field conditions.
Whether you’re harvesting corn, soybeans, wheat, rice, or canola, the S7 800 is engineered to increase capacity, reduce fuel use, and keep you comfortable all day long. Let’s take a closer look at what makes this new combine the most advanced S Series yet.
A Cab Designed for Long Harvest Days
First impressions matter—and the new X9-style cab makes a strong one. It’s larger and more comfortable than previous S Series models, with upgraded seating, better visibility, and a quiet, ergonomic design that reduces fatigue.
Inside, you’ll find the G5Plus CommandCenter display, which gives you a full-screen view of key harvest data and controls. It’s customizable, intuitive, and easy to use—even for newer operators. With programmable shortcuts and the ability to lock out certain settings, it gives you both control and peace of mind.
Need to keep going from sunup to sundown? The cab also includes creature comforts like an air-suspension seat, an integrated refrigerator, foot pegs for relaxed sitting, and optional leather trim. There’s even a folding instructor seat for training or ride-alongs.
Integrated Precision Technology That Works in the Background
The S7 800 isn’t just tough—it’s smart.
With built-in StarFire receiver, JDLink connectivity, and the G5 Advanced License, your combine becomes the hub of your harvest operation. You can send data wirelessly to the John Deere Operations Center, analyze yield maps, and make real-time decisions from your phone or computer.
The Combine Advisor package automatically adjusts machine settings to reduce grain loss and improve grain quality. Plus, with Machine Sync, your combine can “talk” to the grain cart tractor—automating speed and location for smoother unloading.
And thanks to AutoPath, your header stays full every pass by following the exact planter rows, even on curves or terraces. Less overlap, less stress, more efficiency.
Serious Power, Smarter Efficiency
At the heart of the S7 800 is the 13.6L John Deere PowerTech engine, delivering 10% more torque than its predecessor while using 10% less fuel. That’s a big deal when you’re running all day, every day.
You’ll notice the difference in tough crops, on hills, or in wet conditions. The engine responds quickly, keeps power steady under load, and helps you finish faster—without burning through your fuel budget.
Built to Handle High Volumes in Corn and Beans
In high-yield corn and soybeans, capacity is everything. The S7 800 delivers, starting with the TriStream rotor, which uses less energy to move crop material—cutting fuel use by up to 20%.
Spiral vanes and rifled elements inside the rotor help guide and pull crop through the threshing system smoothly, reducing blockages and increasing productivity.
On the cleaning side, the Dyna-Flo Plus cleaning shoe gets even more grain in the tank. Its unique pre-cleaning design and larger sieves (12% bigger than before) let you harvest 10% more corn per hour. That means fewer stops and more bushels before nightfall.

Small Grains? No Problem.
The S7 800 shines in tough small grains, thanks to a specialized combination of hardware built for these crops.
The variable-stream rotor is designed to handle tough straw and green crop without bogging down. You can even adjust the vanes electrically to reduce crop stress and improve straw quality.
Add Active Concave Isolation and a heavy-duty feeder house, and you’ve got the stability and throughput needed for high-yielding wheat, canola, barley and more. John Deere didn’t just tweak the old design—they created a new benchmark for tough-grain performance.
Fast, Clean, and Easy Residue Management
Residue control is easier and more flexible with the Advanced PowerCast tailboard and straw chopper. Adjust chopping and spreading settings right from the cab, and let Auto Swap compensate for headland winds automatically.
This lets you maintain consistent residue spread, which sets you up for better soil prep and planting next season. You can even adjust knife bank settings on-the-go to suit your current crop or engine load.
Ready for the Road—and the Mud
Moving between fields or getting across soft ground is a breeze with the S7 800’s ProDrive transmission and optional track system.
ProDrive gives you two speed ranges—harvest and transport—without needing to stop and shift. Just hit a button on the CommandARM and go. It also reduces engine RPMs on the road, saving even more fuel. If you’re facing muddy fields or hilly terrain, the two-speed 4WD system provides added traction and torque when you need it. Or go for the suspended track system for a smoother ride, better flotation, and less compaction. Plus, there’s no daily maintenance required.

Efficiency from the First Row to the Last
With a 14,100-liter grain tank and a fast 134 L/s unload rate, the S7 800 is made for high-volume operations. The folding auger saves storage space and improves maneuverability, while remote grain tank and auger controls from the cab make switching between functions fast and simple.
Every part of this combine is designed to keep you in the field longer and help you move more grain with less downtime.

Why the S7 800 Stands Out
The John Deere S7 800 Combine is more than just an upgrade—it’s a major leap forward for growers who demand more from every acre. With its powerful new engine, intelligent automation, and unmatched comfort, it’s clear that this machine was built with both productivity and operator experience in mind.
The S7 800 is built to keep up. It’s not just a combine. It’s your most reliable harvest partner yet.
