Get up to 40 extra horsepower automatically, on demand. No buttons, no guesswork. Whether you're trying to get up to speed on the road while pulling large loads or maintaining ideal planting speeds, IPM is your tractor's built-in brains when you need built-up power. Feel the difference during transport and see the results in the field. The John Deere High Horsepower 8R and 8RX tractors take IPM to the next level. With optional Peak Power IPM, these tractors unlock an additional 40 horsepower from the rated engine speed of 1,900 RPMs all the way down to 1,700 RPMs where maximum power is produced. This boosts the 8R and 8RX 540 up to a game-changing 634 horsepower. Peak Power IPM helps unlock more power in more applications than ever never before. When hydraulic or electrical demands surge, Peak Power IPM kicks in to help replace the power being drawn away from the tractor by your implement. This additional power helps keep your tractor moving at its target speed, even when the tractor might already be running at its traditional maximum power output. It's not just more horsepower, it's smarter, responsive power that adapts to your toughest moments in the field. Harness the combination of muscle and smart technology with John Deere Peak Power Intelligent Power Management, available on the high-horsepower 8 Series tractors.
