- [Narrator] When you think about growing a crop,
there's a lot that can go wrong,
from extreme weather that keeps you
from getting your crop in,
to growing conditions that put pressure on each plant.
Our 8 Series tractors can help you gain
an advantage in this area.

More and more farmers are recognizing the agronomic benefits
of applying nitrogen at planting
but doing it hasn't been easy, until now.
RX tractors eliminate the ping points
of well fit tanks, third party hardware
and homemade plumbing.
- Our customers were really relying
on aftermarket solutions
and now you've got a one stop shop.
- Everything turn key ready to go,
fully supported from your Deere dealer, warrantied,
all those things that customers
were missing out on previously,
this system really keys in on that.
(gentle music)
- [Narrator] Whether fertilizing at planting
or applying high rates of liquid crop protection products
and other applications,
the RX increases your capacity to save time
and cover more acres per day.
- Now, John Deere is able to integrate 1000 gallons
of fertilizer capacity into the brand new 8RX machine form
and it's done in such a way
that the vehicle gets no wider
and it allows the customer
to be able to buy a John Deere solution
through a John Deere dealership.
- [Narrator] Carried on four tracks,
the 8RX increases footprint
up to 39% over a wheel track,
integrated agitation, rinse and transfer pump is included.
The 8RX is part of the industry's
first factory installed tractor and planner solution
for applying liquid fertilizer.
With 1000 gallons on the tractor
and another 600 on the planter,
you get 1600 gallons in total capacity.
The planters exact rate fluid transfer system
means quicker setup and no host pinching.
And best of all, it's all factory installed
and supported by one dealer.
Tracks evenly distribute the weight of the tanks
across a larger footprint and reduce the amount
of pressure on the ground.
These illustrations show how ground pressure distributed
by tires is decreased with tracks.
Ground pressure is less than 15 psi
when tracks are used on the tractor and planter.
- You have the ability to protect soil health
while still carrying this heavy machinery.
- [Narrator] Tracks also let you maintain a transport speed
of 20 miles per hour.

All 8 Series tractors come standard
with integrated technology.
Starting with a JDLink Connection,
the integrated StarFire 6000 receiver
and the Generation 4 CommandCenter display.
The display comes preloaded
with productivity boosting features like AutoTrac
and will stream your field and machine data
to the John Deere Operation Center.
While planting, you can view seed
and fertilizer placement data on the Operation Center
from your office desk or on the go.
- All that data is gonna be exported off
into the operation center,
so that's going to enable our growers
to look at what they did in the field
but then after the season, they'll be able
to look at that data and make some better decisions
for how to improve the next year and years after that.
- [Narrator] The 8 Series also give you a choice
in lighting packages to help you work well
into the nights when the weather is right.
Go with 360 degrees of LED lighting on both the tractor
and the planter, and multiple tractor cameras assist
when backing up to attach implements.
Compromised tire pressure is the thing
of the past on 8R wheeled tractors.
- The John Deere CTIS or Central Tire Inflation System
that's really allowing customers to continually monitor
and adjust their tire pressure
with just a push of a button.
- [Narrator] A simple button press deflates the tires
to increase their footprint by nearly 25%
with a reduction of three psi and ground pressure,
giving you two to 4% less slip.
This helps you increase your field speed
while reducing soil compaction and smearing.
Back on the road, a simple button press inflates the tires
to optimal pressure for reduced tire wear,
increased fluid efficiency
or to carry heavy mounted implements
to match tire pressure requirements for your implement.
The system includes a unique coupler
that can deliver air to the tractor
from a compressor that's mounted on the implement
or to send air to implements with a Tire Inflation System.

With these updates, the John Deere 8 Series tractors
continue to help you gain ground in your operation.
- Anytime we can make a customer's job easier
or make them more productive or ultimately more profitable,
that's success for us.
- [Narrator] And whether you're using tracks
or the new Central Tire Inflation System,
you can get more traction and less compaction.
