productivity-enhancing updates
and operator comfort and conven-
ience changes to its 8R and 8RT
Tractors for the 2019 model year.
Additionally, a steering circuit
change and recalibrated steering
sensitivity further enhance oper-
ator comfort and control. All 8RT
Series Tractors get a new steering
pump, changes to the loop-over-
ride circuit and new, in-cab steer-
ing sensitivity adjustment.
“These changes greatly improve
steering response and authority
on 8RT Series Tractors, when
working in heavy draft, soft field
conditions and in obstacle avoid-
ance maneuvers,” says Turner.
“Combined, they give the John
Deere 8RT the ability to turn under
load like no other 2-track tractor
in the industry.”
