In the autumn of 1981, the Sekura cabins were replaced with the American model SG2 cabins. Noise levels dropped below 80 decibels. The front axle of the four-wheel-drive models was replaced with a significantly more agile ZF axle, where the wheels tilted as much as 22 degrees. At the same time, a limited-slip differential became standard.

In 1983, a cheaper X-E model range was introduced alongside it, which was not brought to Finland. Instead, basic models were sold in Finland, featuring smaller-than-normal tires, an 8+4 transmission, and only 540 rpm PTO.

In 1984, a 112-horsepower 3640 was introduced at the top of the lineup. In many respects, it was more robust than other models. For example, the lifting capacity was increased to 5800 kg, using two auxiliary cylinders, as indicated by John Deere in the uppermost position. The 330 mm clutch disc was ceramic.
