The 8RX isn't what you think it is!

The John Deere 8RX has been something of an internet sensation over the last few months and I got the chance to get my mitts on one. This isn't so much a review as an overview as this machine isn't hitting customers until mid Summer. Here are some of the points that didn't make it into the video that are still worth a read


- 21T (up to 24T with Ballast - Front only) with 4.5m2 footprint and 7psi ground pressure
- Better turning than RT, turns like a wheel tractor
- Larger footprint than the RT
- Don't need an H license in the UK unlike the RT
- 70cm Ground clearance
- Rigid axle, no suspension but the tracks to have lateral levelling to compensate
- 20cm front track lift, no weight on front idler for better turning
- 8RX Backend is the biggest casting that John Deere Make in Agriculture
- 4 point Cab suspension
- front/rear camera
- 10.5m turning circle
- Officially 40k speed but in testing it does get to 44k
