John Deere

In spring 2026, John Deere unveiled larger 8R and 8RX tractors than before, with deliveries in Europe starting in spring 2027. Among the models, the 8R was the largest conventional wheeled tractor on the market, and its sibling, the 8RX, was equipped with four tracks.

The new models featured 13.6-liter engines with rated outputs of 440, 490, and 540 horsepower. In the most powerful 8R 540, the engine produced a maximum power of 634 horsepower with intelligent power. The engine’s maximum speed was 1900 rpm.

The transmission was always the stepless eAutoPowr, where the hydrostatic unit in a traditional stepless transmission is replaced by an electric motor and generator. This solution improves energy efficiency by up to 8% compared to traditional hydrostatic stepless transmissions. Depending on the country, the 8R wheeled tractors could reach a maximum speed of 60 km/h, achieved at 1440 rpm.

Hydraulic flow was always 418 l/min. The lifting capacity of 11 tons was slightly less than that of smaller models. The hydraulic oil change interval was extended to 2000 hours. The power take-off could provide up to 548 hp output at best.

New technology included automatically axle-load adaptive front axle suspension, a 300 kW engine brake, and automatic centering Reactive Command steering. The 8RX models featured updated track systems. Their low-voltage design reduced track stress and extended their service life. The maximum track ground contact area was 4.87 m², which lowered ground pressure to as little as 0.4 kg/cm². Wheeled tractors were equipped with a single-line Central Tire Inflation System (CTIS) that could automatically adjust tire pressures regardless of speed and temperature.

In the large 9R models previously introduced, the CommandView 4 Plus cab was 15% larger in floor area and 20% larger in window area than in 8R models. The controls were reported to be fully digital. All models came standard with a StarFire 7500 receiver, G5Plus CommandCenter display, and JDLink connectivity. Driver-specific settings could be saved, wireless charging was available for phones, and doors featured a SoftClose system.

Tractors

John Deere 8R 440-540

At the beginning of 2024, John Deere introduced the most powerful series-production tractor on the market. The new 9RX 710, 770, and 830 models differed in many ways from the smaller 9RX models. Common features included four tracks, but the drive wheels were increased by 20 cm to 1.2 meters. The ground contact pressure (0.58 kg/cm²) was comparable to that of the smaller 9RX models.

In the smaller models, the frame structure was self-supporting, but the modular design of the larger models was primarily engineered for easy maintenance. The weight without additional ballast was 33,500 kg. The width was just under the 3-meter limit. The turning radius was reported as 19.6 meters. The 1,952-liter fuel tanks were located under the cab, unlike the smaller models where they were in the rear tank. Depending on ADR regulations, the fuel capacity in European countries was limited to 1,500 liters.

The engine was an 18-liter JD18X, previously used in the largest forage harvesters. In the most powerful model, the maximum power was 913 hp and torque 4,234 Nm. Stage V emissions compliance did not require urea injection or a particulate filter since emission requirements were more lenient for power classes above 762 horsepower than for smaller ones. However, EGR was necessary to reduce NOx emissions.

The base transmission was a fully mechanical e21 PowerShift with 24 forward and 11 reverse gears. In practice, only 21 gears were usable, with the rest used to support other gears and clutches depending on the load. Between gears 13 and 14, there was a slower-shifting main clutch. The maximum speed was 40 km/h. The hydraulics produced 424 l/min with two pumps and 636 l/min with three pumps. The hydraulic oil change interval was 4,000 hours.

The cab was called CommandView 4 Plus and was larger in size and glass area than before. The mechanical cab suspension was upgraded with three-level adjustability. Steering effort and steering ratio were adjusted according to driving speed, improving comfort in the field and drivability on the road. The cab came standard with a 12.8” display, instrument cluster on the A-pillar, and JD Precision Ag integration, such as adjustable application rates and optional section control.

John Deere 9RX 710-830

John Deere 6M, which has previously been one of Europe's most popular tractor series, improved its position for 2025 as the lineup expanded and the features approached those of the 6R series. For example, the engines and transmissions were now almost the same as in the 6R, and a 50 km/h speed option was also available.

In the smaller "short wheelbase" 6M 95-125 models, there was a low hood under which was a 4.5-liter EWS engine. These models featured a turbocharger with a wastegate, as well as a particulate filter, oxidation catalyst, and urea injection. The maximum power was about 10 hp higher than the model number, and there was approximately 15 hp of additional power. The basic transmission was a 24+24 PowrQuad Plus, where the main gears were selected with a lever. With the shifting automation, the same number of gears was called AutoQuad Plus, which was also available with a 50 km/h speed option. With robotic range shifts, the transmission was called CommandQuad Plus. A stepless AutoPowr transmission was also available in both 40 km/h and 50 km/h versions.

The lift capacity was 4350 kg, with an optional 5650 kg. The hydraulic system was standard with an 80 l/min pressure-compensated flow, and an optional 114 l/min load-sensing system was available at extra cost. The turning radius of these models was 8.7 meters. The external dimensions were exactly the same as comparable earlier models. The largest available rear tire size was 650/60R38. The cab was simpler than that of the 6R model but had the same noise level of 70 dB. The controls were standard on the side console except for the hydraulic joystick, which was mounted on the armrest. The instrument cluster was located on the front pillar. Optional extras for the 6M included, among others, a control armrest, 10.1″ or 12.8″ display, automatic steering, section control, mechanical cab suspension, hydropneumatic front suspension, and trailer brake valve.

John Deere 6M 95 – 6M 125

The 2020 John Deere 8R series was available in three versions: wheeled tractor, with two tracks (8RT), and with four tracks (8RX). The advantages of the 8RX version included better maneuverability, improved track self-cleaning, and better stability on side slopes. The Stage 5-compliant 9.0-liter engines had slightly more torque than before. The three smallest models had only one turbo instead of two as previously. The basic transmission in the smallest models (only 8R) was a 16+5 full powershift. For the first time in the previous series, the e23 transmission (23+12 powershift) was available for all models; it featured 10 speeds in the 5–16 km/h range and a top speed of 50 km/h. Except for the largest model, a stepless AutoPowr transmission was also offered.

The cab had undergone updates compared to previous model years. The 8R series was available in four trim levels. The Premium model, in addition to the cheapest Select, featured e23 transmission, LED work lights, heated mirrors, improved sound system, pneumatic lumbar support, and a cooler compartment. The Ultimate model had a dual hydraulic pump, 5 hydraulic valves, a 10.4" display, camera equipment, and a seat with leather upholstery, heating, ventilation, massage, and electric adjustment. The Signature trim focused on an RTK receiver and connectivity packages.

The American 7R series was gradually updated – the most recent entirely new model line had been introduced in 2011. The most significant features in the 2020 lineup were a new cab and Stage V engines. The smallest model now had a maximum output of 290 hp, whereas previously the smallest was rated at 249 horsepower. Correspondingly, at the top end, there was 373 hp instead of 352 hp. The engines in the two smallest models were 6.8 liters, while the others were 9.0 liters. The full powershift e23 transmission was now standard in all models. It had 23 forward gears and 11 reverse gears. Each gear was 15% faster than the previous one. The speed of 40 km/h was reached at 1520 rpm. The gear automation covered all gears and adjusted the gear selection according to the most economical RPM range for use. An optional stepless AutoPowr transmission was available.

The cab was larger and quieter than before. As an accessory, the new CommandPRO joystick was available for AutoPowr models. The tractor price included a 5-year JDLink telematics subscription, for example for remote maintenance purposes. A new innovation was the EZ Ballast, a 1.7-ton additional weight attached under the engine, which could be attached or removed in seconds without leaving the cab. Front axle suspension and electrically adjustable mirrors were standard, but for example cab suspension, LED work lights, and recording of engine data were optional extras or included in packages.

John Deere 7R 250-350

The 6M series introduced for the year 2025 moved even more firmly into the large category. Instead of the previous two, the lineup included four power classes of models equipped with a "large frame." These also weighed a ton more than their predecessors. The models 230 and 250, equipped with an "extra-large frame," were unprecedented in the 6M series. The differences between these models and the corresponding 6R models were very small. The three largest models shared the feature of having PSS engines equipped with both variable geometry and fixed geometry turbos, and they were only available with a continuously variable transmission. The three largest came standard with a stepless AutoPowr transmission. When equipped with a mechanical transmission, there were 20+20 gears. At their most advanced, with robotized range shifts, the transmission was the CommandQuad Plus version.

The controls were simpler than those in the 6R series, and the cab frame was different. The instrument cluster was located on the A-pillar. Optional extras for the 6M included, among others, a control armrest, a 10.1″ or 12.8″ display, automatic steering, section control, mechanical cab suspension, hydropneumatic front suspension, and a trailer brake valve. The two largest models featured a 100% front axle lock, and from model 180 upwards, it was available as an option. At the rear, up to four hydraulic sections could be installed.

John Deere 6M 180 – 6M 250

Here is the English translation of the provided Finnish text:

---

For the year 2025, the JD 6M series introduced "Small frame" four-cylinder models equipped with a 4.5-liter PSS engine featuring both variable geometry and fixed geometry turbochargers in series with EGR. The models with a "medium frame" were equipped with a 6-cylinder PVS engine with a single variable geometry turbocharger. All models had a particulate filter, oxidation catalyst, and urea injection. Additional power of 20 hp was available in PTO use and at highway speeds. The highest power models of both frame sizes were available only with the stepless AutoPowr transmission. The four-cylinder models equipped with a traditional transmission had 24+24 gears with a 4-speed splitter, and the 6-cylinder models, as before, had 20+20 gears.

The load-sensing hydraulic system's output was 114…155 l/min. The 130 and 140 models came standard with an 80 l/min pressure-compensated system. Up to three electronic hydraulic valves were available as an option, and up to four valve blocks could be installed at the rear.

The 6MH 155 was a special version equipped with a high ground clearance of 760 mm, featuring 320/90R50 wheels at both front and rear and a maximum speed of 30 km/h. The 6-cylinder models had an additional weight of over one ton compared to their predecessors.

The cab was simpler from the frame outward than the 6R models, but the noise level was only 70 dB. The instrument cluster was located on the front pillar. Optional equipment for the 6M included a control armrest, a 10.1" or 12.8" display, automatic steering, block automation, mechanical cab suspension, hydropneumatic front suspension, and a trailer brake valve.

More from this manufacturer

The 520 and 620, equipped with yellow stripes, were introduced in the summer of 1956. At this point, John Deere had made the decision to discontinue 2-cylinder engines, but the development of a new engine series still took several years. Therefore, the 520 and 620 still had 2-cylinder gasoline engines. In the 520, only the compression ratio, and consequently the power, had been increased. The 620 had a new engine block and an improved engine design in many respects. The PTO clutch was now, as standard, a separate unit. The new seat suspension was adjustable according to the driver's weight. The 620 model was now equipped with a three-point hitch with a draft control system.
The 520 was available only as a row-crop version. The 620 had a parallel model equipped with a standard front axle.
