Power and precision at Tillage Live 2017
Fuel efficiency, productivity and pulling performance are the key benefits of John Deere’s high-horsepower 7R, 8R and
9R Series tractors, which will be featured on the company’s working demonstration area at Tillage Live in Lincolnshire
in September.
he top of the range 9620RX
four-track tractor is making its
Tillage Live debut. It features a
620hp Stage IV 15-litre
Cummins QSX engine, an e18
transmission with Efficiency
Manager, articulated steering, cab suspension
and optional Active Command Steering (ACS)
for improved manoeuvrability in the field. Fully
integrated AutoTrac guidance and JDLink
Connect information management systems are
also available, and track widths are 76cm (30in)
as standard or 91cm (36in) as an option.
The 9RX range is designed to provide
superior power, durability and improved ride
quality, especially when handling large
implements. The large, robust undercarriage
features a positive-drive track system that
effectively delivers more power to the ground.
This is ideal for heavy draft applications such as
cultivating, ploughing, discing and ripping,
subsoiling and large-scale drilling applications.
John Deere’s 7310R tractor set a new total
fluid efficiency record of 258g/kWh for high
horsepower Stage IIIb and Stage IV tractors
after undergoing the demanding Powermix test
at the DLG test centre in Germany at the end of
2014. A similarly high level of performance
efficiency was also achieved by the same
tractor in the DLG’s Transportmix test.
