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.
