The 7R, 8R, and 8RT Series Tractors feature two lighting package options:

  • Standard 
  • Premium

The cab lighting pattern provides 330 degrees of coverage while the hood lighting provides the remaining 30 degrees for completely programmable 360-degree, stadium-style lighting. This ensures there are no dead zones or lighting adjustments needed. The lighting configurations are available to match various applications and ensure maximum around-the-clock productivity.

Bulb housings are large, allowing for optimum total lumens and available light. The standard lighting packages use 65-W halogen bulbs, whereas the premium lighting package uses light-emitting diode (LED) lights. In the premium lighting package, these tractors take advantage of the high-performing and efficient LED technology.

The low- and high-beam driving/work lights are adjustable. Please refer to the electrical section in the operator’s manual for complete details on adjusting lights.

The premium lighting package replaces all previous halogen and HID lights with LED lights. The only lights that are not LED are the low-beam driving lights, they remain halogen. This allows each LED light to work at a lower temperature and no one light works harder than any other. The uniformity in LED coverage allows only one type of light output surrounding the tractor.

 

The lighting pattern in the premium package provides industry-leading performance in nighttime visibility. LED bulbs provide maximum brightness and a true color output for excellent field definition that is easy on the operator's eyes.

 

The LED lights provide 40 percent greater coverage width and 10 percent more light coverage in the rear. LED lighting packages use 45 percent less amps than standard halogen lights and have an increased life expectancy over HID lights which leads to lower costs of ownership over the life of the tractor.

 

NOTE: Lighting packages may vary depending on region.

ACS overview

#

With ACS, John Deere has designed one of the most robust and full-encompassing steering system in the industry. Whether in the field or on the road, ACS reduces steering effort, which can result in reduced operator fatigue and can improve operator comfort.

 

There are four key features of the ACS system:

 

Dynamic road wheel offset:

  • A gyroscope senses tractor yaw and can automatically make small steering adjustments to provide unprecedented line-holding abilities. Drive down a bumpy road and experience how ACS makes it easier to keep the tractor straight, even over rough terrain.  ACS delivers the ultimate in comfort.
  • ACS works to prevent over-steering when a sudden obstacle causes the operator to make a quick steering reaction.

 

Variable ratio steering:

  • Approximately 3.5 turns lock-to-lock at in-field speeds for quick headland turns.
  • Approximately 5 turns lock-to-lock at transport speeds.

Elimination of steering slop and hand wheel drift:

  • Steering wheel drift and slop are eliminated with the ACS electronic control system.

 

Variable effort steering:

  • Steering wheel resistance automatically changes with ground speed to deliver light steering effort at slower speeds for less effort during headland turns, and higher steering wheel torque at transport speeds for better comfort.

 

A fail operational system

The ACS system is fail operational, which means steering is still functional in the event of any single-point failure. John Deere has gone to great lengths to help ensure the operator has the ability to steer the tractor if something goes wrong in the steering system.
 
For example, if the primary controller fails, a second controller takes over. If power from the alternator fails, the battery resumes control. If the engine quits running and is unable to supply hydraulic oil to the system, an electric-driven backup pump is used to supply the oil. There is a backup for ACS components.

ACS componentsACS components
#

The ACS system consists of several key components:

  1. Gyroscope: this is used to measure the yaw rate (turn rate) of the tractor during transport speeds.
  2. Road-wheel angle sensors: these sensors simply measure the steer angle of the tractor.
  3. Power supply module: this module distributes the power of the battery and alternator throughout the ACS system.
  4. Hand-wheel angle sensors and tactile feedback unit: this includes the steering wheel position sensors and a brake which can increase or decrease resistance dependent on speed. Lighter feedback is desired during normal field use, and slightly heavier feedback is desired during transport and while the tractor is cornering at high speeds.
  5. Controllers: two controllers are located in the back of the tractor and are the brains of the system.
  6. Control valves: also known as steering valves, control valves are used to steer the tractor.
  7. Electric-drive backup pump: this pump supplies oil to the steering system, brakes, and park (for towing) brake if there is no longer a sufficient oil supply to the steering and brakes.

The ILS system gets more power to the ground because the front tires maintain ground contact pressure. This improves field and transport ride plus increases ballasting flexibility and drastically decreases the tendency to power hop.

ILS cutawayILS cutaway

The ILS axle maintains minimum oil levels in the front differentials to assist in providing overall tractor operating efficiency.

 

John Deere ILS has three systems:

  • A mechanical system
  • A hydraulic system
  • An electrical system

 

Mechanical system 

The mechanical system is further broken down into the mechanical drive system and mechanical suspension system.

The mechanical drive system includes:

  • A three-position switch is included on a MFWD clutch.
  • The MFWD clutch has six clutch discs and separator plates that can transfer as much as 40 percent of the tractor power through to the front ILS axle.
  • The front differential transfers power from the engine to the individual right and left driveshaft through a ring and pinion.
  • A hydraulically engaged front differential lock containing eight clutch discs and eight separator plates works in conjunction with the rear differential lock to assist the tractor in tough, wet conditions with increased power transfer to all wheels.
  • A right and left constant-velocity telescoping driveline provides smooth power transfer to the outboard hubs.
  • On 8245R, 8270R, 8295R, and 8320R Tractors, the ILS driveshaft speed is 6:1. On 8345R, 8370R, and 8400R Tractors, the ILS driveshaft ratio is 8:1. By using an 8:1 ratio on higher horsepower tractors, power can get to the wheels while minimizing the torque the U-joint experiences.

 

The mechanical suspension system consists of large cast, upper- and lower-control arms with cast steering knuckles for durability and reliability.

  • There is a high steering capacity, even with dual wheels – 25 percent increase over model year 2013
  • High torque in all steering positions provides maximum transfer of power to the wheels under all conditions
  • Fully independent suspension maintains optimum ground contact at all times

 

Hydraulic system

The hydraulic system consists of suspension cylinders, a control valve manifold, a front differential lock, and hydraulic accumulators.

  • There is a high steering capacity through large steering cylinders.
  • Responsive link arms maintain contact with the ground surface, giving maximum tractive performance under any condition.
  • Accumulators dampen energy from bumps to produce a smooth ride for maximum operator comfort.

 

Electrical system 

The electrical system contains position sensors, solenoids for the control valves, and a master controller for complete automatic control of the ILS system.

 

How does it work? 

The mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical systems work together to maintain a level and vertically-centered position of the front differential case in relation to the outboard hubs and planetaries, independent of tractor weight or dynamic loading. The system's ability to maintain a vertically centered position provides full suspension travel of 25.4 cm (10 in.). This translates to consistent soil contact for improved power to the ground as well as dampens the energy from bumps that cause a rough ride.

 

The tractor utilizes electronic and computer controls that monitor tractor functions and axle position. Based on those inputs, the electrical system automatically triggers hydraulic functions to raise, lower, or remain static.

 

The John Deere ILS uses a short/long A-arm design, which means the upper control arms are shorter than the lower control arms. During wheel movement, the upper control arm moves in a smaller arc than the lower control arm, and the difference in the two arcs creates a change in camber. The change in camber helps keep the inside and outside of the front tires perpendicular to the drive surface, a very important feature when optional front dual wheels are installed. This design provides anti-dive characteristics to naturally reduce the adverse effects of braking and acceleration.

 

The John Deere ILS front axle has been specifically designed to accommodate additional options, such as front 3-point hitches and front duals. To properly handle these options, large steering cylinders and knuckles provide up to twice the steering capacity of the standard MFWD beam axles so steering performance is maintained. A simple steering stop arrangement offers infinite adjustability for fine-tuning in any row spacing.

 

Braking system 

With higher speeds and expected heavy towed implements and carts, front brakes are optional on 42-km/h (26-mph) ILS-equipped tractors and part of base equipment on 50-km/h (31-mph) ILS-equipped tractors. The braking system is applied proportionally between the front and rear axle brakes to effectively stop the tractor. There are no operator adjustments or requirements to operate the additional braking system.

 

Tire compatibility

For travel speeds of 50 km/h (31 mph), B-speed-rated tires that provide high-speed capabilities are required.

With the ability to have a six-step drop from rear to front tire, the 8R equipped with an ILS axle is able to have group 49 rear tires with group 43 fronts. This allows for the benefits of group 49 tires while maintain the turning radius allowed by group 43 front tires.

NOTE: The use of group 44 tires for front duals does not allow for some row crop spacings.

Front duals
8R Series Tractor with front duals8R Series Tractor with front duals
Narrow-diameter extension and hub attachmentNarrow-diameter extension and hub attachment

Front dual tires provide:

  • Ultimate flotation and compaction management
  • Increased load-carrying capacity
  • Easy installation or removal; no need to remove the inner tire
  • Bolt-on components versus studded flanges for superior flexibility for dual/no dual applications.
  • Narrow hub extensions to ensure superior crop clearance for row crop applications
  • A serviceability port has been added to eliminate the need to remove the front dual and hub in order to change the hub oil at the required service interval

 

Hitch application 

In hitch applications, it is important to maintain at least 50 percent of the ballasted front-axle weight (with implement raised) for steering control. Referring to the example below, the maximum ballasted weight of the front axle is 7756 kg (17,100 lb). If the tractor has a hitch-mounted implement, when the tractor is weighed with the hitch and implement fully raised, the front weight must be at least 3878 kg (8550 lb). The front axle capacity is directly proportional to the weight that can be carried on the hitch.

 

The MFWD axle has a front weight carrying capacity equal to the front tire carrying capacity. For example, in row-crop applications using the popular 480/70R34 (155 load index) front tires, the highest load rating is 3878 kg (8550 lb) per tire with a total of 7756 kg (17,100 lb) at maximum tire pressure. This means (depending on tire pressure and speed) there is as much as 3878 kg (8550 lb) available for support of rear implements in transport.

 

Maximum load carrying capacity of the axle is determined by the load carrying capacity of the tires and whether the tractor is equipped with singles or duals.

 

Additional ILS features: 

There is no on/off switch for ILS operation since the John Deere advanced electronic management system knows when to disengage ILS automatically. The electronic controller will activate a restricted mode of operation, when any of the following conditions are met:

  • Both brake pedals are pushed
  • The 3-point hitch raise/lower switch is activated
  • The tractor is placed in park
  • Wheel speed is less than 0.5 km/h (0.3 mph)
  • Tractor is correcting for an out-of-level condition

Based on the inputs received (speed, suspension displacement, braking and operator input to hitch and/or remote cylinders), the tractor determines when the system should be active or inactive, making operation simple and efficient.

MFWD CommandARM™ controls for ILS

Shortcut keys on the CommandARM enable the operator to engage or disengage MFWD on the go, even under full load, without stopping or clutching. The switch can be placed in one of the following positions:

1. AUTO
2. On
3. Off (brake assist)

Mode 1 - AUTO
AUTO lightAUTO light

When this light-emitting diode (LED) light is lit, MFWD is on but automatically disengages when either of the following conditions are met:

  • Either brake pedal is depressed and held to allow tighter turns
  • Transporting at speeds above approximately 23.0 km/h (13.8 mph) to reduce tire wear; automatically engages when speed drops below 19.0 km/h (11.4 mph)
  • When the front wheel turn angle meets an operator-defined point

As with the brake-assist position, when both brakes are depressed, the MFWD automatically engages (if not already on) to provide four-wheel braking.

Automatic MFWD angle adjustmentAutomatic MFWD angle adjustment
Mode 2 - MFWD on
MFWD lightMFWD light

When this LED light is lit, MFWD engages continuously.

 
Mode 3 MFWD off (brake assist)

When no LED lights are lit, the MFWD is off. This is also referred to as the brake-assist position. Even though the MFWD is disengaged, when both brakes are pressed at speeds above 5 km/h (3 mph), the MFWD engages to assist braking the tractor.

Differential lock

The differential lock is another feature of the ILS axle. When the rear differential lock is engaged or disengaged, the front differential lock is also engaged or disengaged. This also includes a driveline shield.

If one wheel begins to slip, the differential lock can be engaged on the go and the axles are hydraulically locked together for maximum traction. There are two ways to engage the differential lock feature.

  • Manual differential lock - differential lock can be engaged manually using a switch on the floor or by manually depressing a button on the CommandARM console. When brakes are depressed, the differential lock will disengage
  • Automatic differential lock - when in auto mode, differential lock is engaged when the tractor is driving forward. Differential lock will disengage when front wheel turn angle meets disengage wheel angle setting defined by the operator via the CommandCenter or when either brake pedal is depressed. Differential lock will automatically engage when brakes are released or front wheels are turned straight.

Operating the tractor at reduced engine rpm contributes to a quieter cab, reduced fuel usage, and maintains the vacuum while turning and raising the planter on end rows. At 1500 erpm with a 321 L/min (85 gpm) system there will be an available flow of 229 L/min (61 gpm). This is an improvement over an available 162 L/min (43-gpm) flow when operating with a 227 L/min (60 gpm) system at 1500 erpm.

 

The maximum flow through one selective control valve (SCV) with a standard coupler is 132 L/min (35 gpm). A 19.1-mm (3/4-in.) high-flow coupler allows for a maximum flow rate out of one SCV of 153 L/min (40.5 gpm).

 

The hydraulic system is a closed-center, power-on-demand system using a load-sensing pressure-flow compensated axial piston pump with full-flow charge and flow prioritization for steering and brakes.

 

The pump outlet pressure available on demand can range from 3000 kPa (435 psi) for track models and 4000 kPa (580 psi) for wheel models at low standby to 20,400 kPa (2958 psi) at high standby.

John Deere 8R Series Tractors are utilized in numerous applications that place different demands on tires. As such, multiple tire offerings are available for 8R Series Tractors to accommodate a wide range of grower needs. Tire options provide variability in terms of ground clearance, tread width, and floatation to match different operating conditions.

John Deere sources 8R Series Tractor tires from the following major brands:

  • Mitas® tires
  • Firestone® tires
  • Goodyear® tires
  • Michelin® tires
  • Trelleborg® tires

Front and rear tires for 8R Series Tractors are sized and combined under different group sizes based on tire  rolling circumference. All front tire options for 8R Series Tractors are classified as group 42, 43, or 44, while all rear tires are classified as group 47, 48, or 49. The approximate overall diameters for each group are shown in the following table.

GroupOverall diameter
421498 mm (59 in.)
431600 mm (63 in.)
441676 mm (66 in.)
471955 mm (77 in.)
482057 mm (81 in.)
492172 mm (85.5 in.) 

For tractors with mechanical front-wheel drive (MFWD) or Independent-Link Suspension (ILS™) front axles, there typically needs to be five steps (or group size difference) between the front and rear tires to maintain proper tire overspeed between axles. This means the group 42 front tire needs to be matched with group 47 rear tire, and group 43 front tire needs to be matched with group 48 rear tire. 

On 1500 MFWD axles, four-step combinations between front and rear tires are also acceptable (determined at the time of ordering the tractor). This means  group 44 front tire can be matched with  group 48 rear tire, or  group 43 front tire can be matched with  group 47 rear tire. Six step combinations are possible on tractors equipped with ILS, allowing group 43 front tires to be paired with group 49 rear tires in order to maintain narrower tread functionality with row crop width tire options.

Additionally, tires have a load index rating designed to report the load carrying capability of the tire.

Group 49 rear tires
#
#

John Deere 8R Series Tractors are now approved for group 49 rear tires. Group 49 tires have a larger diameter and longer footprint, which results in greater traction in most field conditions compared to smaller group size tires of the same section width and basic design. Group 49 tires also provide a larger air volume than comparable smaller group sizes, which can help control power hop in some conditions.

NOTE:

  • Front tread spacing for group 49 tires (group 44 fronts) has to be 1930 mm (76 in.) or wider based on tire size. For 762-mm (30-in.) tread spacings, tractors equipped with ILS may be equipped with group 49 rear tires and group 43 front tires.
  • 710/75R42 (group 49) tires are available in singles only (see Configurator for complete offering)
  • 480/95R50 (group 49) tires are available in duals only (see Configurator for complete offering)
  • Operators will experience a decrease in turning radius with group 49 tires due to the larger-diameter group 44 front tires.
Row width guidelines

Multiple tire options are available for 8R Series Tractors to accommodate multiple applications or row widths. Refer to the minimum recommended row widths for tire options based on the row-width requirements in the following table.

45-mm (1-3/4-in.), 1000-rpm PTO45-mm (1-3/4-in.), 1000-rpm PTO

All 8R and 8RT Series Tractors come standard with a fully independent 45-mm (1-3/4-in.), 1000-rpm PTO. This 20-spline shaft is designed for high-power, heavy PTO loads that require full horsepower above 150 PTO hp.

The 8R Series Wheel Tractors offer additional mechanical and electrical speed-change PTO options to provide the versatility and flexibility needed to satisfy implement demands. An in-cab shiftable, eco version of the 45-mm (1-3/4-in.), 1000-rpm PTO is available, allowing full PTO rotations at decreased engine speeds.

Additionally, a 45-mm (1-3/4-in.), 1000-rpm PTO capable of 35 mm (1-3/8 in.), 540-rpm (6 spline)/1000-rpm (21 spline) can be ordered. To field convert to the 35-mm (1-3/8-in.) 540/1000-rpm PTO, a field kit is required (the required shaft is dependent on the hitch option).

NOTE: 540-rpm PTO options are not compatible with the Category 4 drawbar.

The PTO activation switch is located on the CommandARM™ controls. In addition, PTO engagement modulation is adjustable with settings located in the CommandCenter™ display. The PTO shaft can be slightly rotated or indexed to aid in PTO drive hookups. All PTO options feature internal lubrication with heavy-duty oil-cooled clutch plates. A PTO safety start system and seat-activated PTO warning is standard on all 8R and 8RT Series Tractors.

The following tables show when shaft kits are required for each PTO shaft based on the selected hitch option (drawbar, 3-point hitch, 80-mm ball/piton).

ActiveSeat and controlsActiveSeat and controls
#

John Deere’s ActiveSeat utilizes electrohydraulic technology in combination with air suspension, providing the operator with enhanced ride quality over standard air-suspension seats.

Operator movements are monitored in order to reduce vertical movement. An ActiveSeat suspension can isolate the operator from up to 90 percent of vertical movements typically seen in tractor applications.

The system uses a hydraulic cylinder that is connected to a control valve assembly. Electrohydraulic valves located in the control valve assembly automatically react to inputs from two sensors, a position sensor and an accelerometer. Inputs from these two sensors control oil flow from the tractor to the hydraulic cylinder to reduce the vertical movement of the operator.

ActiveSeat left armrestActiveSeat left armrest
#

The John Deere ActiveSeat has many of the same features of the ComfortCommand™ seat with the addition of a ride firmness switch. The ride firmness switch is located on the left-hand armrest and replaces the suspension shock-dampening seat attenuation lever on the front right-hand side of the ComfortCommand seat controls.
 
The ride firmness switch has three positions: plus, minus, and mid position. The three positions provide three different levels of seat performance:

  • The plus position provides the greatest degree of ride firmness. This position allows more of the tractor's inputs to be felt by the operator (slightly rougher ride).
  • The minus position provides the least degree of ride firmness, allowing minimal tractor inputs to reach the operator, resulting in maximum seat performance.
  • The mid position allows a balance between the plus (+) and minus (-) settings.

The ActiveSeat is also available as a heated leather seat for increased comfort and easier cleaning. For tractor applications where operating speed is not limited by the implement, the ActiveSeat can allow for faster field speeds and increased overall comfort and productivity. 

 

NOTE: The John Deere ActiveSeat is not available on track tractors.

Brakes

The 7R Series and 8R Series Tractors offer dual-line hydraulic trailer brakes, dual-line air trailer brakes, or dual-line air and dual-line hydraulic trailer brakes, which allow the tractor braking system to connect to implements with high-pressure air or hydraulic brakes. Both systems automatically balance the brake pressure of both the tractor and implement to provide comfortable braking performance.

Trailer brake settings are fully customizable by adjusting gain and pre-brake settings. Trailer brake gain will give customers the ability to adjust how aggressive the trailer brakes are as the tractor brake pedal is depressed. Pre-brake adjustment will allow operators to adjust when the brakes are initiated in reference to the tractor brake pedal being depressed. This along with AutoClutch™ system settings will help the operator achieve optimum braking performance of both tractor and implement. Operators will also be able to test the trailer brake park release while the tractor is still in park during connecting and pre-trip activities.

Dual-beam radar emission horns Dual-beam radar emission horns
Dual-beam radar (tracks tractor shown)Dual-beam radar (tracks tractor shown)
Shield for dual radar beamShield for dual radar beam

In today’s agricultural environment, accuracy and precision are more important than ever. For something as basic as ground speed, operators need key information for precise control of various implements and the tractor. To support these needs, tractors can be ordered with a dual-beam radar unit as a factory- or field-installed option.

 

There are several key features that have changed from previous designs.

 

First, there are two horns for exit of the radio beam. This dual-beam design assures a powerful and accurate signal that will cut through interference that at times makes single-beam units inaccurate. (See 1 in the image above for beam locations.) Dual-beam output makes radar less susceptible to hard surface or tall/wavy grass interference.

 

Accuracy is aided by a heavy-gauge mounting bracket and rubber isolators that reduce chances that vibration can affect the radio signal.

 

Dual-beam radar has a fast update rate. When the tractor comes to a stop, accelerates, or varies speed, the indicated ground speed on the tractor display will closely match the actual ground speed. This is important for implements that use radar speed to control operation such as planters, seeders, fertilizer applicators, and sprayers.

In addition, the dual-beam radar does not require calibration to assure accuracy. Its self-calibrating ability is sure to save setup time by elimination of a special procedure that was required in the past.

 

The radar true ground speed sensor activates the following CommandCenterTM display or performance monitor readouts:

  • Percent slip
  • Hitch slip command (if equipped)


Radar usage improves the accuracy of the following CommandCenter or performance monitor functions:

  • Area covered
  • Area/hour
  • Distance and ground speed

Dual-beam units are compatible with controller area network (CAN) bus and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) bus electrical systems.

Engine

Fuel/Water Separator Kit, Severe Duty - BRE10220

IPM

NOTE: IPM is only available for Tier 3/Stage IIIA, Interim Tier 4/Stage IIIB, Final Tier 4/Stage V engines, and not for Stage II engines.

 

This feature is for many typical farming operations that use the rear power take-off (PTO) in high-power applications or the tractor as a transport vehicle. Operators who are looking for more power in non-stationary PTO and transport applications will be interested in the IPM feature.

 

In high rear PTO power applications such as forage harvesters, rototillers, and beet or potato harvesting equipment or where heavy trailers, carts, or implements are moved to and from various locations, this feature provides significant additional capabilities. The solution improves productivity with more consistent ground speeds, quicker acceleration, and the ability to better hold desired transport speeds.

 

This two-in-one tractor solution successfully operates in power-intensive PTO and transport applications at reasonable low fuel consumption without being disadvantaged by the higher weight, the bigger proportions, and the extra costs of the next higher horsepower model.

 

This feature is available as a factory- or field-installed option.

Tractor applications
8R Tractor in transport8R Tractor in transport

Rear PTO field applications

  • Rear-mounted snow blowers
  • Sugar beet harvesting
  • Forage harvesters
  • Potato harvesting
  • Rotary cutters
  • Mower conditioners
  • Flail mowers
  • Balers
  • Soil stabilizing
  • Power harrow
  • Vegetable bed formers
  • Muck spreaders

 

Transport applications

  • Grain carts or wagons
  • Slurry tanks
  • Implement transport from field to field
  • Pull-type sprayers
  • Extensive operation in hills/roadways

 

This is not intended to be an inclusive list of all applications but shows the wide range of uses for additional engine horsepower.

Power available

IPM provides engine power increase in levels proportional to the size of the tractor. IPM provides a controlled power boost of up to 26 kW (35 engine hp) to the tractor under the following operating conditions:

  • Tractor moving and PTO under load
  • Transport during acceleration
  • Transport during deceleration

Power increase is not provided under draft applications or non-loaded rear PTO applications. Power increase is only provided when required.

How it works

There are specific operating parameters when IPM functions to boost engine power. It is the "intelligent" part of the system that provides seamless operation while adjusting the engine horsepower depending on how the tractor is being used. For engine horsepower boost activation, the tractor must already be running an application that is using the full power capability of the tractor.

 

PTO activation

Power must be sensed going through the PTO drive clutch by the tractor's electronic systems. The tractor must be moving at least 0.5 km/h (0.3 mph) and PTO consuming moderate power before power boost engages. The speeds shown above, assume lowest possible gear or speed setting and the engine running at 2100 rpm.

 

NOTE:  If the tractor is equipped with a front PTO, additional IPM power will transfer through the front PTO. However, IPM activation is only sensed through the rear PTO. Adequate load must be sensed on the rear PTO in order for IPM to activate.

Transport activation

 

When in transport applications, power transition is smooth. The engine will respond seamlessly as load changes, such as when going up and down hills. Additional power is available at a useful working speed with minor differences between tractor models and transmissions.

 

The minimum ground speed is where additional power will begin to be applied, assuming the engine is already fully loaded. Ramp up to full additional power occurs as speed continues to increase. Full additional power occurs within a 3 mph (5 km/h) band.

 

Transport during acceleration: power boost occurs in steps through the range from 23 km/h – 28 km/h (14.3 mph – 17.4 mph).

Transport during deceleration: power boost ramps down in equal steps in the range from 23 km/h – 18 km/h (14.3 mph – 11.2 mph).

Power boost levels other than at rated rpm

Some operators will run the tractor at full loads and/or run transmissions in auto mode in transport. This means that the engine most likely will not be operating at rated rpm. As the engine is loaded, it will eventually drop off of rated rpm and use the power bulge as rpm slows. This is the way every John Deere PowerTech™ Plus engine operates when it is loaded to maximum power and torque.

Usable rpm range of operation (8345R shown)Usable rpm range of operation (8345R shown)

IPM (shown in purple in chart above versus standard power shown in blue) provides additional engine horsepower from rated engine speed down to approximately 1600 rpm (shown on the x-axis in image above, with power kilowatt shown in the y-axis), which is peak engine torque.

 

Horsepower levels are increased above base equipment power bulge values.

 

If the PTO is engaged and the engine rpm stays near rated speed of 2100 rpm, the full additional power potential for the tractor model will be available for use to handle additional load from the implement or changing terrain.

 

If the PTO is not in use and in transport operation and the rpm has dropped off of rated speed, usable additional power boost of IPM will taper off as rpm decreases. The chart above (with 8345R Tractor power curves) shows the relationship of how much additional usable horsepower is available in the operating range. All tractors operate in a similar manner with this feature.

Operator visibility and control of operation
Engine power displayEngine power display

All tractors have the power meter display function as base equipment. The operator can observe when full capabilities of the tractor are being utilized. This function graphically displays power utilization up to rated horsepower and power bulge.

 

The power meter can be found in the CommandCenter™ display. If the engine is off or has minimal load, the power meter will not fill in. The meter is similar in concept to a cellular phone's signal-strength meter. As the power increases, it will fill in bars in an icon. The display will also show the level of additional power being used. The long section represents up to the rated power. The smaller section represents power bulge and is an indicator of additional power available with IPM.

 

Via the CommandCenter, there is also the ability to enable or disable the function. The operator's manual provides simple details about navigating the engine screen.

 

IPM is automatically enabled each time the tractor is started.

Tractor compatibility with additional power

IPM has been thoroughly tested by John Deere engineers to be compatible with the base tractor equipment with no impact to reliability. John Deere provides IPM as opposed to unapproved aftermarket devices that boost power without regard to engine, transmission, axles, and drawbar, or hitch capability.

 

This feature provides optimal utilization of tractor components. For example, with PTO operation, power goes through axles to move the tractor along the ground and turn the PTO shaft and implement. Adding power to both of these systems does not overload either one individually. At transport speeds, drive train torque load decreases significantly from levels seen at low field speeds. Adding power at transport does not overload transmissions or axles.

 

Aftermarket devices are not selective when power increases are available. Great amounts of power increase are promised with these devices. Large power changes are not compatible with base tractor equipment. To note, base tractor equipment changes as power increases. Larger parts, like hitches, drawbars, tire size, drive train components, axle diameters, and engine calibrations for emission performance and cooling, ensure durability of the total vehicle as power increases. Operating outside of the design capabilities of the tractor base equipment will have an impact on durability and reliability.

Hydraulic Pump

The auxiliary reservoir kit for the model year 2014 and newer 8R Series Wheel Tractors holds 50 L (13.2 gal.) of oil, providing a total hydraulic oil capacity of 90 L (23.8 gal.). This additional volume helps ensure that the tractor has enough hydraulic oil for applications using large single-acting cylinders or needing large hydraulic oil flow in a short period of time.

The reservoir is available as a factory- and field-installed kit to meet the needs of specific applications and is not needed for ordinary hydraulic operations.

Hydraulic Selective Control Valves (Scvs)

Auxiliary sump coupler

The sump coupler kit allows oil to return from the hydraulics motor at low pressures. This coupler is required for correct attachment to current-production seeding products with case drain lines. The connector in the sump port is not to be used to carry return flow from a function to the tractor.

This coupler is required for correct attachment to current-production seeding products with case drain lines.

Hydraulic motor return couplers

The hydraulic motor return couplers can be used as couplers for return oil flow, from hydraulic orbital motors and other devices to the tractor's low-pressure return port, labeled R on the tractor.

 

Use of this connector specifically in the return to sump port position is for hydraulic components that require a leak-off line connection to the tractor. Components and implements that require this typically are larger orbital motors that require a drain for seal protection. The connector in the sump port is not to be used to carry return flow from a function to the tractor.

Power beyond couplers

Power beyond provides live hydraulic power to equipment. This kit supplies oil pressure to implements when the engine is running.

 

Any implement using power beyond must have a way to control oil flow. Use an independent control valve that is pressure-and-flow compensating (supplied separately) to control the oil flow rate from this coupler set. Power-beyond functions require a load-sense signal to regulate pump pressure, therefore, a load-sense hydraulic line is used. Certain equipment may require modification.

Auxiliary hitch lift assistAuxiliary hitch lift assist

Lift assist wheels are often used with heavy 3-point-hitch-mounted implements. The hitch auxiliary raise kit provides hydraulic power for use with the lift assist wheels. Turning and transport are made easier using this feature.

Flush face case drain couplerFlush face case drain coupler

For installing tractor case drain for vacuum motors. A motor seal drain kit (return to sump) protects the motor and shaft seal by allowing motor housing pressure to return back to hydraulic reservoir free of any back pressure. Handles up to 3 U.S. gallons per minute.

 

NOTE: All vacuum planters built after 1 May 2004 have hydraulic case drain vacuum motors. These motors have a flush-face case drain hose tip on the return oil line that must be routed to the tractor's sump/case drain port. The tractor requires a case drain coupler be installed in this port to accept the return hose. 

 

This kit is required for operation of 1910 Commodity Air Cart and 1990 CCSTM hydraulically-driven fan.

Low standby pressure kitLow standby pressure kit

The field-installed kit provides easy installation and operation of equipment using power beyond. After installing this kit, you will be able to manually adjust the standby pressure of the tractor to the application and electronically turn the load sense signal on or off from the cab.

Always turn the load sense signal off when starting the tractor. Turning the load sense signal off will keep the pump at low standby pressure while cranking the tractor.

As a further benefit, when the power-beyond application is not needed, the valve can be turned off, reducing power needed to operate the hydraulic pump and lowering fuel consumption.

Lighting

Xenon HID lights improve nighttime visibility
HID lights HID lights

John Deere has taken advantage of advanced lighting technology. This lighting provides the operator with industry-leading performance in nighttime visibility.

The important part of the system is the use of Xenon high-intensity discharge (HID) bulbs. These bulbs provide extreme brightness and a daylight color output for excellent definition of the field. The performance of this system allows the operator to easily view as much as 250 percent farther ahead, compared to previous tractors. A further benefit is there are no filaments in the HID bulb. Bulb life is increased by as much as 10 times vs. filament-style bulbs.

Standard lightingStandard lighting
FieldVision lightingFieldVision lighting
Front FieldVision lighting
Front HID locationsFront HID locations
Roof lighting locationRoof lighting location

The front lighting package adds three high-intensity discharge (HID) lights to the front grille (see 1 in the image above). To further enhance all-around tractor lighting, there are two additional 65-W halogen work lights added to the left- and right-hand cab roof.

 

The center of the bulb has a semi-spot lens, and the outer light housings have a flood lens. In row-crop, the operator will notice there is a longer beam of light in the center for following marker furrows. The overall width of the lighting pattern for a non-row-crop operation will be obvious so tilled or seeded passes are easily identified. The inner, larger-diameter light assemblies are used for road transport and use conventional halogen 60-/55-W H4 bulbs. These larger light housings are also used in the base lighting system. With the dual-wattage H4 bulb, the operator will notice that there is a true automotive-style high/low function when operating in the road position.

 

The cab roof lights can be adjusted to aim to the side or rear of the tractor.

Rear FieldVision lighting
Rear FieldVision HID lightingRear FieldVision HID lighting

The premium HID lighting package (code 1720) adds two adjustable-position HID lights on the rear fenders.

 

Unlike aftermarket lights where the operating ballast is integral, these lights use a smaller housing with remote-mounted ballast.  The smaller housing decreases obstruction for a clear view looking out the rear window.  Using the light’s wide-angle flood lens will make it much easier to monitor the widest or longest equipment available.

Front roof-mounted floodlightsFront roof-mounted floodlights
Side roof-mounted floodlightsSide roof-mounted floodlights

Nighttime visibility can be improved on tractors with two roof-mounted front floodlights or two roof-mounted side floodlights.

For additional transport visibility, install a rotary beacon light.

Option code 9779 on the 7030 Series Large-Frame Tractors includes the rotary beacon light. The light features a fully-adjustable, double-clamp design that provides a more rigid vertical support stem.

 

Rotary beacon lights can be installed for additional transport visibility and commercial or governmental applications. The rotating, high-intensity light rests securely within an amber-colored lens.

Rear fender LED light kitRear fender LED light kit

Eliminate the need for replacing bulbs with this pedestal-mounted LED light. The light is more like natural sunlight compared to traditional incandescent technology. The included connector harness makes this lighting upgrade a true plug-and-play solution for a quick and simple installation. The kit includes all necessary materials (including hardware) for one single light upgrade/replacement. For upgrading/replacing both rear fender lights, order two kits.

35-mm (1.375-in.) PTO shaft shown35-mm (1.375-in.) PTO shaft shown

The PTO shaft and conversion kits are for driving rear rotary-driven implements.

35-mm (1-3/8-in.), 540-/1000-rpm PTO with built-in overload protection
35-mm (1-3/8-in.), 1000/540 PTO and torque-limiting collar35-mm (1-3/8-in.), 1000/540 PTO and torque-limiting collar

This bolt-on 35-mm (1-3/8-in.), 1000-rpm and 35-mm (1-3/8-in.), 540-rpm PTO unit is designed with built-in overload protection by using a torque-limiting collar that slides over the PTO shaft.

Ordering this kit provides all three shaft sizes shipped with the tractor. The 45-mm (1-3/4-in.), 1000-rpm PTO comes installed on the tractor, with a 35-mm (1-3/8-in.), 1000/540 PTO unit placed in the cab. This PTO kit provides complete implement versatility for high-horsepower tractors.

Front PTOFront PTO

For increased versatility, two 1000-rpm front PTO options are available from the factory for 7R and 8R Series Tractors equipped with the John Deere front hitch.

  • Type 2, 1000-rpm (counterclockwise as seen from front), 35-mm (1 3/8-in.), 21-spline front PTO
  • Type 3, 1000-rpm (counterclockwise as seen from front), 45-mm (1 3/4-in.), 20-spline front PTO

Front PTO features include:

  • The ability to be incorporated with iTEC™ sequences
  • Three choices of engagement modulation: auto, low, and high
  • Integrated controls
  • Cornerpost display indicators 
  • Bolt-on shaft makes it easy to change shafts if necessary.
  • Remote PTO engagement

7R-specific features:

  • 130 kW (175 hp)
  • Integrated with all transmissions
  • PTO disconnect for efficiency
  • Requires TLS front axle

 

8R-specific features:

  • 112 kW (150 hp)
  • Integrated with the infinitely variable transmission (IVT™)
  • Requires Independent-Link Suspension (ILS™) with front brakes


Intelligent Power Management (IPM)

IPM is compatible with 7R and 8R Series Tractors equipped with a front PTO option. The front PTO, rear PTO, or transport speeds can activate IPM on 7R Tractors. However, on 8R Tractors, IPM is only activated by the rear PTO or by transport speeds. For example:

  • A front snow blower will not benefit from IPM on an 8R since the front PTO alone will not activate IPM.
  • A triple-mounted mower-conditioner will benefit from IPM as high power levels are transmitted via the rear PTO. The front mower-conditioner will have 150 hp available to it on an 8R, which is adequate to operate these mowers in most crop conditions.
  • See Intelligent Power Management for more information
PTO disconnect on 7R Series Tractors

Disconnecting the PTO drive to the PTO box when not in use increases tractor efficiency by reducing:

  • Power requirements, which saves nearly 70 percent of power required to run the PTO disengaged
  • Wear on components of the PTO box; components are not moving when the PTO is disconnected

Refer to the operator’s manual for instructions on how to disconnect the PTO when not in operation.

Front PTO operation

70-kg (154-lb) weight 

BRE10026 features a 70-kg (154-lb) starter weight. The starter weight and guide lugs provide improved installation and removal of the 900-kg (1984-lb) weight. This weight can be used individually on the outside of the steel, dual rims on rack-and-pinion axles, or on the outside of the double-flat, single-taper wheel hub. For the approved cast hubs, can also be used with the inner cast weights as well.

 

NOTE: Use on the outer side of approved cast hubs will limit dual tire and spacing capability.

 

900-kg (1984-lb) weight   

Individual R341378 900-kg (1984-lb) weights ordered through Parts. The 70-kg (154-lb) starter weight is required for installation, and provides guide lugs for improved installation and removal of the 900-kg (1984-lb) weight. 900-kg (1984-lb) weight ballast option is compatible with steel, dual wheels with rim diameters of 106.7, 116.8 cm, or 127 cm (42 in., 46 in., 50 in., or 54 in.). This allows the weights to be added to only the outer rear dual on a rack-and-pinion axle and double-flat axle with single-taper hub.

 

NOTE: This weight option is not compatible with 96.5-cm or 137.2-cm (38-in. or 54-in.) wheels.

 

For operators requiring additional ballast or additional traction on the rear axle

72-kg (159-lb), 205-kg (452-lb), 625-kg (1378-lb), and 970-kg (2138-lb) cast rear-wheel weights are available for the 7R and 8R Series Tractors. The attaching hardware for all rear-wheel weight options may be ordered through parts.

 

The range of rear-wheel weights can provide the proper amount of rear axle ballast for a variety of applications. The addition of this ballast will increase traction on the rear axle of the tractor. These weights can also be used to counterbalance the effect of adding additional weight on the front axle in the form of a front weight support, front hitch, front spray tanks, and front-end loaders.

 

72-kg (159-lb) starter weight

The 72-kg (159-lb) cast rear-wheel weight is offered individually as attachment R167153. This weight can be used either as an inner or outer rear-wheel weight. The 72-kg (159-lb) weight can be used by itself or as a starter weight for the 205-kg (452-lb) rear-wheel weights.

 

205-kg (452-lb) weight

The 205-kg (452-lb) cast rear-wheel weight is offered individually as attachment R07782. The 72-kg (159-lb) starter weight (R167153) must be installed prior to the 205-kg (452-lb) weight on rear steel wheels. This practice is optional on cast wheels; however, most weight packages will be configured this way.

Wheelspacers

#

Front dual wheel extensions allows the ability to run front dual wheels (four tires on the front axle) at fixed spacing ideal for row crop applications using the 1500 or Independent-Link Suspension (ILS™) front axle (group 47-49 tires). Never install front duals on a 1300 mechanical front-wheel drive (MFWD) axle.

 

When either of these kits are installed, the front wheel base (outer to outer wheel) grows to 289.6 cm (114 in.), leaving both the front right and left wheel sets on 76.2-cm (30-in.) centers.

 

Refer to the operator’s manual: Front wheels, tires, and treads section and reference the stories on installing dual hub extensions. Installation instructions from the online library may also be used for reference.
