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
