A walkthrough of John Deere's 8R, 8RT, and 8RX tractors, covering their horsepower ranges, suspension systems, comfort packages, and visibility options. The presenter details the technological features and configurations available across the three models.
We took a great tractor and made it even better with added comfort, increased visibility and enhanced controls. To help you get more done, there are three comfort and convenience packages to choose from. They start with the mechanical seat and go all the way up to a heated and ventilated leather seat. With the massage feature, you can add cab suspension or on the top two packages, the redesigned Active Seat 2, which reduces most of the vertical movement of the operator. It now uses an electric motor for quicker response. You can also add front axle suspension to improve ride quality and help deliver power to the ground. In addition to three comfort and convenience packages, we're offering three visibility packages. Choices include halogen or LED lights and convenience lights along the roofline. There are also a number of camera and mirror options. If you want the highest level of all packages, comfort and convenience, visibility, and your choice of cab or seat suspension, you can simply choose the Signature Edition. It includes a decal of John Deere's signature to indicate that your tractor has the best features that John Deere offers.
