John Deere S790 Combine Financing and Leasing

Define the S790 and header package

Record the model year, serial number, engine hours and separator hours from the actual machine. Identify the feeder and crop setup, running gear, grain-unloading arrangement and residue-handling equipment. Do not use a newer S7 or X9 brochure as a specification for an S790.

John Deere includes the S790 in its S700 replacement-parts guide. Use the correct model and serial-specific manuals and dealer advice when checking service needs. A current product brochure is not a substitute for the maintenance history of the machine being sold.

The header has its own condition and value

List each header by model, serial number, crop purpose and price. Ask the dealer to confirm feeder, drive, electrical and control compatibility, including any adapter or software work. If a header trailer is included, identify it separately and check its condition and transport suitability.

Match the package to your crops, acreage and harvest window, then consider grain cart, transport and storage capacity. The broader combine harvester financing guide explains the whole-system budget when comparing models.

Inspect wear and fitted technology

Request an inspection covering the feederhouse, threshing and separation components, cleaning system, elevators, augers, unloading equipment and residue system. Include the header's own wear parts in the estimate. Compare recorded hours with service invoices and ask about major repairs, machine modifications and replacement displays.

Document the installed display, guidance receiver, yield-monitoring and any automation functions. Ask which activations, subscriptions and data-transfer arrangements are included. An S790 listing should not be valued as having every feature offered on every S700 model year.

Arrange the transaction early enough for harvest

A dealer should state pre-delivery repairs, written coverage and handover timing. In a private sale, verify ownership of both the combine and header and disclose any existing finance. For an auction, establish the payment deadline, premium, removal arrangements and available inspection evidence before bidding.

Ask who will complete repairs and crop/header setup after transport, and what service support is available locally. Keep delivery, acceptance and financing milestones separate. Approval does not guarantee the machine's readiness or replace a condition inspection.

Budget wear work and operating cash

Illustrative S790 purchase: a hypothetical CAD $320,000 combine, CAD $60,000 header and CAD $20,000 of service, transport and setup total CAD $400,000 before tax and fees. A sample CAD $85,000 contribution leaves CAD $315,000 to discuss if the complete scope qualifies. These numbers are not S790 market values or mandatory financing terms.

Retain cash for harvest labour, fuel and unexpected repairs. Show when grain-sale or custom-harvest receipts will be collected and ask whether the lender offers a suitable schedule. Any seasonal or deferred-payment provision must be agreed in the contract.
