John Deere highlights the S4 combine harvester at the Show Rural.

John Deere is bringing to the Show Rural Coopavel 2026 a range of solutions geared towards the productive characteristics of the Southern region, with a focus on the S4 combine harvester, developed to operate efficiently in smaller areas, rugged terrain, and diversified crops.

According to the company, the S4 was designed to primarily serve small and medium-sized producers, the predominant profile in the South, and includes crops such as soybeans, corn, wheat, rice, oats, barley, and beans. The model is available in S4 300 and S4 400 versions.

“The S4 was born from listening to the needs of producers in the Southern region, who work in more rugged and often sloping areas. The machine combines operational simplicity, technology, and reduced losses,” says Horacio Meza, Sales Director of John Deere Brazil.

Operation on steep terrain and loss reduction

Among the combine harvester's distinguishing features is the Automatic Terrain Adjustment (ATA) system, which improves ground following and helps reduce losses in sloping areas. The machine was also designed to facilitate daily work in the field, with better access for inspections, greater visibility, and electronics prepared for future technologies.

The S4 comes standard with features such as Machine Sync, which allows synchronization between the combine harvester and trailer, autopilot, rear-view camera, and LED lighting for nighttime operations. The cab has received improvements in ergonomics, noise reduction, and digital control layout, aiming for greater operator comfort during long work shifts.

The grain tank features two viewing windows, a level sensor, and a new access structure, making it easier to monitor the operation.
