With a name known throughout the industry, John Deere builds some of the most sought-after agricultural tractors, both in Europe and the US.
The US-based company dates as back as 1837 and has grown into a multi-billion branch that supplies agricultural equipment all over the globe.
John Deere builds not only the most efficient agricultural tractors out there, but also some of the biggest ones currently available on the market.
Here are the top 5 biggest John Deere tractors to date.
The John Deere 8R410 brings on one of the most spacious and well-equipped cabins of the brand, as part of a large row crop family tractor. Featuring a 121.3-inch wheelbase and a 261.3-inch overall length, the John Deere 8R 410 presses on the scale at 28,000lbs in its lightest configuration.
When ordered with the Ultimate Comfort and Convenience package, the tractor cabin brings along CommandARM console for integrated control of the hitch and auxiliary functions, automatic climate control, and a telescoping steering wheel that will remember the operator preferred position.
Released in 2010, the John Deere 8RT 410 dual-track tractor brings along the standard diesel 6-cylinder 410hp John Deere PowerTech 9-liter engine coupled to an e23 Powershift Transmission. Thanks to its technology, it allows the operator to switch gears on the run and while under load. As it takes away the need for clutching, the Powershift transmission takes full advantage of multi-disc clutches to shift through a range (from slow to fast).
The John Deere 8RT 410 comes standard with an 85cc-pump capable of 60gpm, which can be upgraded to an optional 85cc and 35cc dual pump with a flow boosted to 85gpm.
The base tractor weight is rated at 16,600kg or 34,400 lbs. considering 25-inch tracks.
Featuring a 13.5-kiter PowerTech John Deere engine, the 9470R Scraper Special brings 470hp to the field, all delivered through a standard 18-speed PowerShift transmission capable of speeds up to 40km/h.
The 6-cylinder diesel engine is rated for 2,100rpm and draws air through dual asymmetric turbochargers: one with fixed geometry and second with variable geometry and aftercooling.
At 41,950lbs base machine weight and 54,000lbs maximum ballast level, the John Deere 9470R Scraper Special Tractor comes third on the list.
In order to provide the utmost power and efficiency, John Deere replaced their in-house engine for a Cummins X15 15-liter diesel on the 9570RT Scraper Special. Coupled to the already-famous 18-speed PowerShift transmission, the 9570RT makes use of all its 570hp to tackle the fields in the US, Canada, Europe, and Australia.
Base dimensions of 19ft9” over 11ft4” over 11ft2” give out to a total operating weight of 45,000 lbs., making the 9570RT one of the biggest machines John Deere has to offer.
The epitome in power, performance, and size, the John Deere 9620RX is the biggest tractor offered to date by the US-based agricultural equipment company. Featuring a diesel Cummins QSX15, B20 diesel compatible engine, the 9620RX pushes an astounding 620hp to the wheels or track for a 25mph top speed.
At 54,000lb base weight and 62,000 lbs. maximum ballast level, the John Deere 9620RX is also the heaviest tractor currently offered by the brand.
When it comes to agriculture, more ballast and more power mean bigger implements can be used to optimize field processing. As seen above, John Deere comes to meet farmer's needs with some of the biggest and most powerful tractors to date.
