John Deere 9RX 4-Track Tractor

A new addition to the John Deere  9 Family Tractors will be available for model year 2016. The John Deere  9RX Tractor Track Tractors will be added to the 9R/9RT Wheel and 2-Track Tractors currently available, providing John Deere with the broadest lineup of high-horsepower tractors in the industry.

The John Deere  9RX Tractor will use the same sealed cartridge mid-roller design that has been proven on John Deere 2-Track tractors for the last 20 years. The John Deere  9RX Tractor undercarriage features a large diameter 1004-mm (39.5-in.) drive sprocket, optimally placed idlers and mid rollers, and a field-tested and proven track tensioning and alignment system. All of these features are designed to deliver optimal traction and power to the ground in challenging field conditions and provide track belt longevity and reliability that is second to none.

The John Deere 9RX Series uses a cab suspension system that features a parallel plane four-bar linkage to control cab movement and isolate the cab and the operator from impacts and vibration. The John Deere 9RX cab offers an industry-leading 100-mm (4-in.) of vertical travel (+50-mm/-50-mm [+2-in./-2-in.]) from center.

The Camoplast Duradrive 3500 and 6500 Series Tracks are the glue sticking the 9RX power to the ground. The 3500 and 6500 Tracks are the positive drive versions of the Durabuilt 4500 and 6500 Series Tracks used on the friction drive undercarriage of the John Deere 9RT Series Tractors. Positive drive tracks use drive lugs that mesh with the drive sprocket to effectively transfer the power through the tracks in high-horsepower, high-torque applications. These tracks offer optimal performance in puncture resistance, load-bearing performance, and the industry’s largest drive lugs, and largest number of drive lugs – 5.9, engaged to deliver exceptional performance.

The John Deere 9RX Tractor undercarriages will be on fixed spacing at 2218-mm (87-in.) center belt to center belt, and available in 762-mm (30-in.) and 914-mm (36-in.) widths.

Ballast

The John Deere 9RX Series Tractors is optimally ballasted from the factory and does not require additional ballast to achieve maximum levels of tractive performance. Therefore, the ballast calculator for the model year 2016 John Deere  9R/9RT Series Tractors does not include any ballast information for the 9RX Series. The maximum weight of a 9RX Series Tractor is approximately 28,123 kg (62,000 lb).
