The DLG awarded the new eAutoPowr with the only gold medal at Agritechnica 2019.
MORE WITH LESS
The eAutoPowr™ transmission, available for the 370 and 410 models of 8R, 8RT and 8RX tractors features a straightforward design with less complex parts. We have replaced hydro modules with electrical components to achieve maximum performance, reliability, and comfort.
It features maintenance-free, liquid-cooled, brushless electric motor generators. The use of electric components over hydro modules simplifies design, increases efficiency, reduces wear parts, and extends transmission lifespan.
The eAutoPowr™ is the most versatile and powerful option in the 8 Series transmissions, blending AutoPowr™ efficiency with e23™ muscles. Seamless shifting with solid-state power electronics delivers instant torque for the smoothest ride, even in the most challenging applications.
Its electric start-off delivers immediate power and torque, enabling quicker, smoother direction changes and precise creeper speeds, thanks to its use of electric motors over hydro modules.
Featuring the CommandPRO™ interface identical to AutoPowr™, eAutoPowr™ offers all known CommandPRO comfort features and easy setup through the G5Plus CommandCenter™ display. Its electric motors reduce cabin noise by 23% compared to hydro modules.
eAutoPowr allows offboarding of up to 100 kW 480V AC for external consumers via an optional AEF outlet socket. This electric power can be used e.g. to power drive axles from implements. Electrically driven axles provide a significant increase in traction, a reduction of wheel slip and prevention of ballasting. This enables a higher area output by using much wider incorporation tools for lower application costs per hectare, paired with a higher soil protection.
“The noise in the Cab is more silent than we’re used to in our current 8R Series”
Christian Sommerlund, JSJ-Agro, Danmark
Professionals who already experienced eAutoPowr™ are thrilled. See for yourself.
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.
UNSTOPPABLE POWER
If minimum soil disturbance is a priority for you, there is no way around the 8RX. It’s ideal for difficult side-hill terrain and soil types. Plus you’ll benefit from maximum operating windows.
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.
Three dedicated 8R concepts ensure you’ll find the perfect match for your local conditions and individual farming practices.
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.
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.
