The John Deere 9RX tractor, which was launched last year at Farm Progress Show, was a big hit at the recent Commodity Classic.
The new tractors are being delivered to customers in time for planting season and John Deere Senior Marketing Representative Kevin Lowe says one feature farmers appreciate is the undercarriage, since it is 20% larger than the nearest competitor. That means less heat and friction and that will help with things like belt life.
The 9RX also has a wheel, 2 track, and 4 track option. “The main advantage of the four track machine, depending on their operation, they’re going to have less compaction PSI with that machine versus a traditional wheel machine. That machine also allows our guys to turn under load, get out to the field quicker, because we know they have those very short window where they need to get out there,” Lowe said.
