For the year 1989, the 60 series of chassis-controlled models was introduced: 8560/235 hp, 8760/300 hp, and 8960/370 hp. The 8960 switched to a Cummins 14-liter engine, which featured an air-to-water type intercooling. The smallest model's 7.6-liter engine had undergone updates, including improvements to the combustion chambers, pistons, camshaft, and fuel supply. The standard gearbox was a 12-speed Syncro. PowrSync was the same gearbox equipped with a 2-speed high/low range. The most advanced transmission was a new 12+2-speed full Powershift.

The frame structure of the 60 series was completely new. The two smaller models had grown to the same size as the largest model; length had increased by one meter. The longer wheelbase allowed for a 20-degree tighter turning angle. The lifting device was considerably more powerful than before. The cab was still called Sound-Gard, but the windshield was one piece, and the doors had been moved to the sides. The IntelliTrack monitoring system provided even more information about the tractor’s operations.
