More power, additional technologies, reduced operating costs, and more acres covered in less time are among the benefits John Deere says you can expect from its newly introduced model year 2022 9 Series tractors. The lineup’s 9R wheel, 9RT two-track, and 9RX four-track variants feature a larger, updated cab with automotive-like features and other inclusions that make all-day operation comfortable. The largest 9R 640 and 9RX 640 models use a Cummins 15-liter diesel engine; the others leverage an all-new Deere powerplant.

"Farmers will appreciate the added low-end torque and lugging ability of the all-new John Deere PowerTech 13.6-liter diesel engine,” says Ryan Jardon, Deere product marketing manager. “This engine powers models with 390 to 590 horsepower and runs with 50% less engine noise. It’s also easier to perform routine maintenance on.”

The “Perfect” Performance Boost

Six 9R models from 390 to 640 horsepower (290 to 477 kilowatts) are available with various tire options and a HydraCushion suspension option. HydraCushion reduces tractor bounce, enhances ride quality, and lessens potential for in-field powerhop, putting more power to the ground. Three 9RT models available from 470 to 570 HP (350 to 425 kW) include an AirCushion walking beam suspension. Four 9RX models from 490 (365 kW) to 640 HP, meanwhile, mark the industry’s highest horsepower levels in a four-track tractor, Deere says. There are also a number of track-width and tread-spacing options available.

Buyers can order the 9RT 570 and 9R/9RX 590 and 640 models with hydraulic Intelligent Power Management (IPM), which provides up to 50 extra horsepower (37 kW) depending on the gear. “It's the perfect performance boost when pulling equipment through tough terrain or over large hills, or with high hydraulic demands, such as air-seeding rigs,” Jardon says.
