Increase ride comfort during all seasons with 8RT suspension options

8RT Tractors naturally offer excellent in-field ride due to the large footprint and an AirCushion™ suspension system. A great ride is also enabled by the lack of power hop due to the track system. 8RT Tractors are equipped with a four-post cab suspension and air seat that is specifically designed for and only found on these models. This system reduces high-frequency vibrations typically associated with road transport and allows 8RT Tractors to strike an unmatched balance in ride quality in the field or on the road. Both the cab suspension and AirCushion suspension are in base equipment on all 8RT Tractors.

  • Four-post cab suspension with an air seat offers an exceptional ride for operators while on the road.
  • The cab suspension system specifically designed for 8RT Tractors is offered in base equipment.
  • 8RT Tractors naturally ride well in the field due to the independent track systems and a large footprint.
  • The AirCushion suspension system not only improves ride quality in the field but also allows the track systems to move freely and independently of the other, maximizing track-to-soil contact and improving overall traction.

All 8 Series Tractors come standard with an 85-cc (5.2-cu in.) hydraulic pump. This pump provides up to 227.1 L/min (60 gpm) hydraulic flow. A dual pump option featuring 85-cc and 35-cc (5.2-cu in. and 2.1-cu in.) displacement hydraulic pumps is available for all 8R and 8RX Tractors. The dual-pump system provides a hydraulic flow of 318 L/min (84 gpm), ideal for running at lower engine speeds. At the rear, up to six selective control valves (SCVs) are available with 1.9-cm (3/4-in.) options.

  • Single or dual pump options to fit specific producer applications
  • Up to 318 L/min (84 gpm) through the dual pump system on 8R and 8RX Tractors
