Deere s hot new 9R and 9RT tractors replace the 9030 series range with eight models ranging from 360 to 560 hp. Five models are wheeled and three come with tracks. The upgrade marks the company s biggest introduction in the category since 2007, and according to John Deere, these new 9R/RT series tractors feature the latest improvements in power, hydraulics, hitch and PTO options, as well as cab comforts and controls.
Beside the cosmetic changes that customers will easily see, we ve made a lot of improvements to the 9 family of tractors that contribute significantly to overall productivity in the field, says Jerry Griffith, division marketing manager for John Deere Waterloo Works. We engineered these new 9R and 9RTs with operator comfort and ease in mind. We added more horsepower and more integrated technologies like AutoTrac and JDLink, and we ve equipped all ag models with high-flow hydraulics and PTO options.
