The 9RX, the world’s largest production tractor, will be a key draw to John Deere’s stand at Cereals today. Visitors will get chance to take a look at the 913hp 9RX 830, flagship of the company’s new articulated range.
The E21 powershift box features 21 gears that can be shifted manually or automatically, and the power is transferred to the tracks to drive the machine which can have a maximum ballasted weight of 38.1t.
Deere says ground pressure is as low as 0.58kg per cm² – comparable to the three smaller models in the line-up. The G5 Plus screen is standard, with the option of double the viewing area with an extended monitor. A new corner post display has also been fitted.
The isolated subframe suspension has been borrowed from the 8RX which significantly reduces the noise and high-frequency vibrations typically associated with road transport.
R962i sprayer
John Deere will also showcase its See & Spray spot spraying technology as well as the new Individual Nozzle Control (INC) Pro upgrade on the flagship R962i trailed sprayer.
INC Pro technology improves application accuracy and reduces chemical usage, saving the operator money. It is designed to take the stress out of maintaining a constant speed during conventional applications by using pulse width modulation technology to deliver a consistent application rate at constant pressure, producing the same size droplets, whatever the speed of the sprayer.
