2009-12-09

John Deere’s new 8R Series tractors and top-of-the-range 7950 self-propelled forage harvester will be featured at LAMMA 2010 for the first time at a UK show, alongside the new 5080M and 5090M tractors. The company will also be launching its new PowerGard maintenance and protection programme for tractors.

8320RT

Both a wheeled 8R and a tracked 8RT tractor will be on display at Newark in January, following their public launch at Agritechnica. With horsepower ratings from 245 to 345hp, increasing to 380hp with intelligent power management, the range includes the industry’s first ever tracked models with an infinitely variable transmission. Features include a new, spacious CommandView II cab, and a new AirCushion suspension system on the tracked machines.

Increased power and capacity is offered by the new 812hp 7950 self-propelled forage harvester, a true contractor’s machine that features an intelligent engine/speed management system on the ‘i’ specification model. This technology helps operators to maximise their performance both in the field and on the road.

This forager can be equipped with a choice of three different headers for maximum versatility. These include a newly designed heavy-duty 600C pick-up for grass harvesting; a new 12-row Kemper Champion 390 Plus header with a working width of 9m, which can harvest both maize and wholecrop; and a CRL coppice header for harvesting short-rotation coppice for biofuels.

5090M

The new 5M Series general purpose tractors feature a 4.5 litre Tier III PowerTech M diesel engine with rated power from 70 to 100hp and a choice of three transmission options. They are particularly suitable for diet feeding, mowing, baling, fertiliser spreading and transport, and can be equipped with matching John Deere front loaders for a variety of materials handling applications.

These new machines will be shown alongside the latest John Deere i-Series combines and sprayers, a new season 854 variable chamber round baler and both the XUV and HPX 4x4 Gator utility vehicles.
