New John Deere 8R Series Tractor


 newjohn  
John Deere bolsters its lineup of high-powered row-crop tractors with the introduction of its 8R Series Tractors. The lineup includes six wheeled models that range from 225 to 345 engine horsepower and three track models that range from 295 to 345 engine horsepower.

One of the hallmarks of an 8R Series Tractor is its next-generation John Deere CommandViewII Cab. Inside, operators will discover a roomy work environment that’s equipped with integrated, easy-to-use monitors and controls. Visibility is enhanced in all directions.

All 8R and 8RT models are powered with the proven 9.0L John Deere PowerTech Plus engine that meets current Tier III Emission Standards.

The 8RT Series Track Tractors are new from the ground up. Each 8RT Tractor is equipped with John Deere’s AirCushion Suspension System that was first made available on the company’s larger 9030T Series Track Tractors. And for the first time ever, John Deere makes its Infinitely Variable Transmission (IVT) available on 8RT Series Track Tractors. It’s standard on the 8345RT and optional on all other models. With an IVT, operators can use a single lever to smoothly shift from 0 to 24 mph, or any speed in between.
