Man oh man what a tractor, the extended length and width of those tracks really make it look like the beast that it is. While I'm a big Cummins fan in trucks, I for one am happy about Deere's decision to use their own 14L engine in 2023, while having a slightly smaller package, and retaining the same hp ratings, on a theoretical smaller amount of fuel. "Nothing Runs Like A Deere" 🦌👍🇺🇸
The myth smaller engines of the same hp as bigger engines burn less fuel is just that. A myth. I have a 9630 and and 865 and the Deere 13.5 will use just as much as the c18 and while the Deere is rated 5 HP more the cat will out pull it easily and the same less fuel.
@@MrTjulius I was thinking the same thing actually. Probably due to the smaller engine being operated close to its limits whilst the larger engine has a bit more in reserve and so isn't so stressed - probably a slightly lower engine speed to achieve the same output, acre wise, too.
First 640 I've got to see anywhere doing anything. Those big quads look so much better with the wide belts and the wide stance. Would be much more stable on hills too.
Really like the new JD 9R's. That wider stance is really nice as well. It's always good to hear from the operator. He's in it all day and can really tell you how the tractor performs. Awesome video Jason 😊👍🏻.
Idk for sure but with double cropping and other crops such as tobacco these farms have alot of revenue compared to northern farms. Plus they all seem to be multi generational farms. When you think how this country was settled it started in the east and moved west so it kinda makes sense they have some older very successful farms.
Another great video, Hmmm? blue grass, known over here in the UK as annual meadow grass and what a pain it can be, only takes a matter of a few weeks and it will make seeds for another growth
Can’t understand why Deere keeps going backwards with their articulated tractors. They had a good thing with the Cummins engine and they dumped it for the anemic new 13.6. My 9570R will out pull a 9R 640.
I'm pretty sure the John Deere 9RX 640 for model year 2022 went back to being powered by John Deere's own 13.6L engine according to the specs on John Deere's website, they apparently keep switching back and forth between that and Cummins engines (particularly the X15) every few years
The one in the video was delivered on in late March and has the QSX15 engine. I was surprised looking at Deere.com to see the 14L engine listed for all models. The 2022 models will stand out in the future. I suspect the reason the website shows the 2023 specs is all production is sold out this year.
Yes they have two. The other one was working at a different farm that day. I filmed at this farm back in 2015 when they had 9510Rs on Krause Dominators.
How deep is he pulling that 330? Doesn’t even look like an inch? I’ve got my 330 depth gauge set past C almost to D. Maybe I’m going to deep? 🤔 Only my second year with it.
I did not see the setting. I would guess 2 inches. The field is a river bottom. It was deep ripped in the fall and had NH3 applied in the spring. The 330 is just cutting up the annual blue grass and smoothing out the NH3 application.
@@garytanger965 I do not know. I have only ever seen a track tractor pulling a 60ft air seeder up a steep hill or running a ripper 18 inches deep on a compacted headland. The rest of the time tracks just sail across the field.
Did anyone notice the tractor driver turn the equipment around at 4:12 at a high rate of speed. Some farmers have to much money and not enough brain to slow down and take care of their equipment. Just sayin
This is not the only job this tractor does on the farm. It runs a Krause Dominator in the fall running 18 inches deep and 23ft wide. With this spring tillage pass the tractor runs faster than a lesser powered tractor getting more acres covered per day.
I don't care how quick you can make your money back there is no reason any vehicle on this planet should be priced that high it's unrealistic and it's bs
These are industrial machines just like CAT D11 bull dozer. They have big jobs to. Components, computers and emissions drive the price up and up. There are plenty of used machines out there that are a cheaper option.
@@joshuadixon4931 it may be a bigger and more expensive tractor but then farms that require these tractors are also bigger and you'll make more money from them.
Could be because the case is a little outdated now but there's rumours going around that case may come out with a new quadtrac very soon and some rumours suggest that there may be an 800hp version.
There are cons to working the headland first and then working it again when done. It fines up the dirt more which can lead to crusting issues after heavy rains. Also reduces water infiltration. Working it twice causes additional moisture loss, which can be problematic especially with shallower planted crops. 2nd pass also burns more fuel and causes more wear on the tillage implements.
For 800k before taxes, he better like that tractor. For the life of me, I cannot understand why people continue to buy John Deere. With their policy of not allowing the farmer to work/fix their own equipment and the huge cost incurred because of that. I would never buy a John Deere until they smarten up.
Clearly your another one of those who hasn't read about the right to repair act. Right to repair only has to do with electronics and nothing else. Deere has gave people the software to be able to scan codes and all that, the question is are they good enough to figure out the issue? The answer is probably not also Deere is not wrong especially with all the regulations to not allow just anyone to mess with the electronics on equipment. Deere has never said you can no fix your own equipment and that's the myth everyone is trying to push. Lastly don't think every other manufacturer wouldn't be on board and the car industry has been doing the same thing for years and no one says anything. Wonder why that is.
@@joegotz1971 Deere diehards are never going to change lol why fall back to less equipment? Less dealer support? Less manufactures support? Your logic makes no sense. We have been a Deere farm since the 40s and have 8 dealers with in an hour but only have one case dealer and one acgo dealer in the same distance and the next closest after that who knows.
@@chadjustice8560 The reason you buy JD is local dealerships and parts. In the 50’s and 60’s the majority farm equipment was Oliver for the potato farmers. They had a good dealer. Zeorian harvesting switched to new Holland because of field service and parts. I guess what ever is local they all break down. Mike Mitchell s switched to Fendt because of warranty.
Ahh .. wonder what happened to there 2 track tractor being superior to the Qaud. I guess if You can't beat em," join them.. resembles there claim of the rotor Combine being no good.. Look at em now..🤣🤣🤣
I think a 2 track of the same hp and torque would probably pull better than a 4 tracked tractor but a 4 tracked tractor have many advantages over a 2 track like steering for instance. Maybe John Deere haven't put the 2 track into production yet.
This is a river bottom field. The coloring of the surface is bleached looking from a light layer of sand left from winter flood waters. It is very good producing ground.
@@bigtractorpower I'm not an expert, but watched another BigTractorPower videos (best ag videos on the web, in my opinion) from the same area and the field was yielding 220 bu/acre corn... that's not what I'd call "poor soil".

Hmmm. I live in Kentucky so that is where I film many farm machines. Do you tell other ag UA-camrs to leave their farm and go film some where else?

@@bigtractorpower I always did them first and last, except if there were no washouts .Plus we never lifted the implements all the way up, just enough to turn around and not dig into the ground.
@@StubProductions There is a lot of added stress on the wheels and axles when the implement bounces around. The bigger the bounce the more stress it puts on the axles.
Amazing how fast the planting season is upon us. Seems like harvesting was just yesterday. Thanks for the nice videos, and explaining them.

Another great video !! That is my favorite tractor to date with the wide tracks & wide spacing !!
It’s a monster machine 👍👍
I never realized how many very very successful farms are in Kentucky. Its seems like they all have new or newer equipment and farm alot.
Your not gonna change my mind on JDs but they are right up there with the best i must say. Im a red man by heart MF/ Case/NZ.
freaking beast, and that ground looked like a desert, rock solid
It's sandy river bottoms. Nothing is rock solid down there.
Another great video from BTP. Thanks a lot
This was a nice one to film.
Love those wide tracks!!
They ride very smoothly.
That is just one good looking tractor right there
I like that tillage setup and wide tracks.
That is one BIG tractor Holy Cow 👍👍👍👍👍💯💯
With that beast costing over $800k. I'd be using that jump seat as a Uber between fields. Lol!
*NO PROBLEM WITH SOARING PRICES IN KENTUCKY!* absolutely!
What's not to love!
Awesome video again. I really enjoy watching them. That is one big tractor. See you in the next video.
Thank you for watching. I have many more spring videos on the way.
Please show the implement more when you're in the cab!!
Deere gave their 9Rs all new engines for 2023
Yes they did. It will make the 2022 9RX 640 stand out in the future.
This video is absolutely perfect. Congratulations because is the best way to learn about the machinery farm. 😎👍

It is very nice. We should see 4 by this fall on the 87” setting in Christian County.
Still powershift gearbox on that thing. Hopefully it's improved version then it was on RX620 cos these were laggy and slow.
Farmer: gimmee that WIDE track
Dealer: um… you want wide tracks or wide stance
Farmer: (big smile) Yes!
😁👍👍👍👍
How can a farmer afford almost 800 000 dollars tractor? How many acres does a farm need to justify that price?
we don't have a calculator that big on our farm. they might be growing other high value crops like tobacco
Idk for sure but with double cropping and other crops such as tobacco these farms have alot of revenue compared to northern farms. Plus they all seem to be multi generational farms. When you think how this country was settled it started in the east and moved west so it kinda makes sense they have some older very successful farms.
I enjoy that there's a tractor and 2 implements from 3 different manufacturers 🤣
You’re the best!

That's one impressive machine💪😁
Great video👍
That’s what we need On the Palouse. Would be nice if it came in under a half mill. How are the def issues?
Run a case quad track 620 w a ktec 1233 absolutely love the rig
That is very cool.
i wonder when deere will make a 10r series
Cool video as always & sweet tractor

I wonder what year you are in
Do they have to worry about the tracks getting hot going down the road.
Never been a problem for us on the 2 tracks. Farthest we road is 15 miles one way though.
Any reason why it would need to do 25mph?
Road transport speed. In the field they run 5-10 mph.
Jason, does this farm have more than one of these 9RX640's? Looking forward to seeing a 640 with the John Deere JD14X engine, just for comparison.
Yes they have two. The other one was working at a different farm that day. I filmed at this farm back in 2015 when they had 9510Rs on Krause Dominators.
Jason has the Garnett's got any of their 9RX640's yet?
So far a 9R 440 arrived at the dealer last week.
@@bigtractorpower ok, I appreciate the reply.
What the torque numbers?
2890nm which is a little less than case and over 200nm less than the fendt 1167.
How deep is he pulling that 330? Doesn’t even look like an inch? I’ve got my 330 depth gauge set past C almost to D. Maybe I’m going to deep? 🤔 Only my second year with it.

Cool video. Is the 640 not a 15.1 cummins instead of a 14.9?
It is listed as a 14.9 L QSX15 is the sales brochure.
@@bigtractorpower interesting I thought the 620 was a 15.1 and that's the same engine
@@saxovtr1234 power bump
It would be better if they located the muffler away from the cab to reduce noise.
From all my years of playing Farming Simulator I'm annoyed that there's no front weight lol
Im glad JD is going away from the Cummins engines (even though I love them), cool to see brands using their own power units
does it really need that much horsepower for that job? I don't think so. I think that they can do the same job with half the horsepower

Ground like this should be worked deeply and tourned around.
In the fall they worked the field 18 inches deep. It is a river bottom so there is allot of sand on the surface giving it a bleached look.
That’s on big rig.

This field is on a river bottom. It sits under 10fr of water for 4 months a year.
@@bigtractorpower it looks very dry and dusty...

Is everyone starting to run JD instead of Reds up in Kentucky.
Could be because the case is a little outdated now but there's rumours going around that case may come out with a new quadtrac very soon and some rumours suggest that there may be an 800hp version.
Another video where the guy is turning on the unworked headland and the implement is bouncing like crazy.. Why don't they work the headlands first
There are cons to working the headland first and then working it again when done. It fines up the dirt more which can lead to crusting issues after heavy rains. Also reduces water infiltration.
Working it twice causes additional moisture loss, which can be problematic especially with shallower planted crops. 2nd pass also burns more fuel and causes more wear on the tillage implements.
Imagine the ukrainian farmers using this JD to pull Russian tanks, the can pull 5 of them in one go
Mostly German brand tractors in Ukraine, but they do have giants machines like N America. They're massive grain exporters
