The threshing capacity of the 2016 John Deere T-series combines was promised to be 15% greater than before, mainly due to longer concaves, a larger sieve area, and increased threshing cylinders. The T-series had three threshing cylinders. The diameter of the separating cylinder located between the main threshing cylinder and the after-threshing cylinder was increased to 500 mm. The after-threshing cylinder had grown as much as 800 mm. The front rasp bar was 8 degrees wider than before.

The fan was redesigned, and its adjustment range was broader than before. The sieve was partly made of aluminum, and a 7-degree tilt of the sieve was standard. The rear axle was also updated for increased maneuverability, and the structure always allowed room for components required by a four-wheel drive model. Starting with model T560, a road speed of 40 km/h was now available. Track equipment was also available for the same models. The engines featured twin turbochargers, urea injection, exhaust gas recirculation, particulate filters, and oxidation catalysts.

For 2018, the rasp bar of the first threshing cylinder was changed to a three-piece design. The first two sections could be quickly replaced when harvesting special crops.
