Total Planting Solution
The high-horsepower 8R and 8RX Tractors combine power, technology, and maneuverability, allowing you to plant 1,200 acres (485.62 hectares) each day.3
The JD14 13.6L engine, paired with Peak Power Intelligent Power Management, provides the strength to tackle changing conditions without losing speed. Pull heavier, wider implements and reduce passes, eliminating up to 30% of pinch rows.4 Enjoy seamless HD data transfer monitored via the G5Plus Display and 14-hour run times with the next-gen CommandARM™, so you can spend more time planting and less time stressing.
Precision Technology
Improve control, connectivity, and efficiency. Embrace the future of farming today with Autonomy Ready capabilities. The G5Plus Display gives you a user-friendly interface for seamless management of your equipment. With Machine Sync Ready capabilities, you can coordinate multiple machines for optimized productivity.
Tight Turns. Tailored Steering.
With a narrow, fixed frame, the high-horsepower 8R & 8RX Tractors were designed to turn on a dime. Reactive Command Steering (RCS) gives you a customized steering experience, allows for tighter turn at the end of the rows and helps operators stay centered down the middle of the road while transporting.
In-Cab Comfort & Experience
Experience a refreshed in‑cab environment with new features like our CommandX™ Pro transmission control handle – delivering our most advanced option to our updated drive strategy – alongside a new convenience display and integrated wireless phone charger. Together, they bring you cutting‑edge technology and customizable options so you can run the tractor the way you like.

2Compared to a Model Year 2026 8RX 410.
3Based on internal testing of an 8R 490 with Peak Power IPM pulling a DB90 at 12.5 mph (20.1 km/h) over 12.3 hours with 80% efficiency.
4Comparison is based on planting a square 80 acre field planted with a 24R row 1775 on an 8R 410 vs. a 36 row DB90 on an 8R 440 both with row crop duals at 30 in. (76.2 cm) spacing. It would take 32 passes with the 8R 410 vs. 21 passes with the 8R 440. That is 11 passes less or a reduction of 34% in pinch rows caused by the tractor tires in the field.
