EVT transmission

Stepless transmissions are ideal for overall drivability and those wishing to complete work at precise speeds. Current stepless transmissions are better than ever, but current designs limit true potential. Replacing hydrostatic power with electric power unlocks the ability to monitor the exact load through each major drivetrain component, improves diagnostics, and increases reliability. The EVT transmission delivers efficient power to the ground that John Deere is known for, all with the familiar controls and drive strategy of the IVT. Available as optional equipment on 8R 410, 8RT 410, and 8RX 410 models.

• Improved acceleration between desired ground speeds compared to gearshift transmissions
• Precise infinite speed control from 0.05 to 50 km/h (0.03 to 31 mph)
• Efficient power transfer from the engine to the drawbar results in low fluid consumption while maintaining excellent pulling performance
• Use of electric drive components results in a noticeable reduction in drivetrain noise experienced by the operator compared to the traditional hydraulic motors
• Enhanced reliability with the utilization of proven electric components
• 55 percent reduction in diagnostics requiring tools or a technician for simple in-field troubleshooting

Ultimate Visibility package at night (shown on 8R)

Visibility is one of the most important attributes of the cab, but it is more than just lighting. In addition to lighting, John Deere visibility packages include mirrors, sunshades, wipers, and camera readiness. Some benefits of the visibility packages include:

• Three package levels to fit your needs – Select, Premium, or Ultimate
• Operate confidently with greater visibility
• Ultimate Visibility package with more light-emitting diode (LED) output and full 360-degree illumination
• Integrated camera capability

*Convenience lights illuminate the corners of the cab for easier entry and exit
**Starting with model year 2022, the Ultimate visibility package is camera ready.

8RX Tractor with cab suspension and air seat

8RX Tractors naturally offer excellent in-field ride due to the large footprint and independent movement of the undercarriage systems. A great ride is also enabled by the lack of power hop due to the track system. 8RX Tractors are equipped with a four-post cab suspension and air seat that is specifically designed for and only found on these models. This system reduces high-frequency vibrations typically associated with road transport and allows 8RX Tractors to strike an unmatched balance in ride quality in the field or on the road.

• Four-post cab suspension with and air seat offers an exceptional ride for operators spending time on the road.
• The cab suspension system specifically designed for 8RX Tractors is offered in base equipment.
• 8RX Tractors naturally ride well in the field due to the independent track systems and a large footprint.

ExactRate tractor tanks

The 8RX is the only tractor on the market that allows operators to carry fertilizer with factory-installed 3785.4-L (1000-gal.) ExactRate tractor tanks. Built-in wet seal solution pump (requires use of one SCV) easily transfers fluid from tractor to planter. Integrated valve compartment for simple tendering, front or rear fill options are available.

• One dealer supports the system from tractor to planter
• Simplified monitoring and control through Gen 4 CommandCenter™ display
• Entry/egress, visibility, and overall machine width un-compromised with fully integrated tanks
• Ground pressure reduced by 14 percent compared to third-party tanks on wheel tractors
• Built-in transfer pump, rinse, and agitation for applications beyond planting
