The correct tyre pressure is crucial for optimising tractor performance and sustained soil health. The John Deere Central Tyre Inflation System (CTIS) lets you adjust it quickly, with push-button ease: Quickly and conveniently inflate & deflate from the cab – switch between field and transport mode.
UNSTOPPABLE POWER
The 8R Series is the perfect match if you need a versatile machine that excels in the field and delights on the road. The 8R is the best mix of pulling power, low cost of ownership and all-round performance.
The bold design of the 8R/RT/RX Series tractors announces what they’re all about: pulling power that stops for nothing and technology that moves modern farming forward.
Mastering the power of the 8R Series tractors is simple with the new CommandPRO joystick and its 11 reconfigurable buttons. It’s the ultimate driver interface for making every work day more comfortable and productive.
So much space, so little noise, such luxury. Pure passion for detail. Welcome to the new 8R cab, bigger and even more comfortable than ever.
Three dedicated 8R concepts ensure you’ll find the perfect match for your local conditions and individual farming practices.

2-track machines deliver the strongest straight-line pull, very efficient power transfer and high flotation. Destined for flat terrain and dry, loose soil.
If minimum soil disturbance is a priority for you, there is no way around the 8RX. It’s ideal for difficult hillside terrain and soil types. Plus you’ll benefit from maximum operating windows.
4.57 m² ground contact area are benchmark in this hp class. Even fully ballasted, the static ground pressure at the rear is as little as 36 kPa. Soil berming at the headland is almost not existent, although the turning radius is even smaller than on an 8R wheel tractor.
Riding an 8RX in the field almost feels likes floating thanks to the 4-track design as well as the tilting undercarriage, the suspended mid roller boogie mounting in the rear, and the advanced cab suspension that’s standard on an 8RX.
| TRACK SIZE | FLAT PLATE AREA | GROUND PRESSURE |
| 610 mm (24 in.), 610 mm (24 in.) rear |
4.03 m² | 49 kPa |
| 635 mm (25 in.), 762 mm (30 in.) rear |
4.57 m² | 44 kPa |
To calculate the pressure per cm² exerted to the soil by the machine, divide the machine weight by the total flat plate area (indicated in the picture).
All figures based on fully ballasted 8RX at 19,958 kg.
The 8R Series makes sophisticated agricultural technology easy to operate. Everything is within easy reach and the touchscreen CommandCenter™ with shortcuts and context-sensitive help makes navigation as easy as it gets.
