John Deere 9 Series receives larger cab and more power
Customers can place their orders now with their dealers
John Deere’s Model Year 2022 9 Series tractors promise to offer more power, more technology, more connectivity and a comfier cab.
The new 9 Series lineup includes wheel 9R, two-track 9RT and four-track 9RX Tractors, covering six models altogether with power ranging from 390 to 640hp.
An all-new John Deere PowerTech™ 13.6-litre diesel engine powers models with 390 to 590 horsepower, while the larger 9R 640 and 9RX 640 are powered by a Cummins 15-litre engine.
To accommodate the added horsepower and ballast of the articulated 9 Series Tractors, several undercarriage, axle, and front-frame components have been strengthened and improved. This has increased the weight of the tractor and the maximum available ballast from 27,200 to 30,300 kg, to put the enhanced power of the new models to the ground.
Three two-track 9RT models range from 470 to 570hp and feature AirCushion™ walking beam suspension to improve ride quality. Two-track tractors provide a large footprint with less ground pressure and lower slip values compared to wheel tractors, making them ideal for straight-line pulling and broadacre tillage, John Deere explains.
The 9RX range features powerful four-track machines ranging from 490 to 640hp. Multiple track widths and tread spacings are available, allowing the tractors to be used in row-crop and broadacre applications where more traction and flotation is required.
Selected 9 Series Tractors can be ordered with hydraulic Intelligent Power Management (IPM) to deliver up to 50 extra horsepower depending on the selected gear. The performance boost comes in handy in heavier duty applications such as pulling equipment through tough terrain or over large hills.
The new 9 Series tractors also offer increased connectivity, John Deere said, which is a key consideration for plenty of modern operators nowadays such as the Haworths who recently purchased new MY22 9R tractors for this very reason.
The new models will come equipped from the factory with JDLink™ connectivity, plus an integrated StarFire™ GPS receiver, Generation 4 CommandCenter™ display, AutoTrac™ guidance and free access to the John Deere Operations Center, to help farmers harness the value of precision agriculture and data to transform their operations.
The new larger cab has been restyled to offer automotive-like interior and comfort and is available with a choice of Select, Premium or Ultimate cab packages. The Ultimate comfort and convenience package comes with a heated, ventilated massaging seat that swivels up to 25 degrees to the left and 40 degrees to the right, giving the benefit of improved operator visibility for long days in the cab.
The 9 Series Tractors are now available to order from John Deere dealerships nationwide. Speak to your local dealer for more information including estimated stock arrival times.
