20.12.2011 John Deere Scraper Special Series Tractors

John Deere launched 9R/9RT scraper special series tractors, three track models — the 9460RT, 9510RT and 9560RT and three wheeled models — 9460R, 9510R, 9560R, ranging from 460 to 560 horsepower. Deere's 9460RT, 9510RT and 9560RT are equipped with four-ply 30-inch-wide rubber tracks designed for soft, low-friction and uneven ground, as well as resistance to high side loads. Their internal construction includes a heavy-duty main cable for optimized puncture resistance. All 9RT scraper tractors have an air-cushioned suspension system that isolates the entire front chassis when operating on uneven terrain for speed and comfort.

A new cab design for the John Deere 9R/9RT scraper tractors features a 10-percent increase in overall cab volume, seven percent more glass area and four times the storage area over previous models. The Powershift transmission with "Efficiency Manager" has a thumb wheel located on the transmission lever, offering pinpoint ground-speed control by allowing the operator to set speeds for transport or when the operator is not in the cut loading dirt. For improved serviceability, the 9R wheel tractor now has two hydraulic oil filters, instead of one. This enhancement increases the service interval from 750 hours to 1,500 hours.
