A nice operating tractor. I like the additional splash of yellow paint work on the hood, takes me back to the 20 and 30 series in the two cylinder line of tractors. Thanks for posting.
Thank you for watching. Thank you to my local dealer Hutson for being right on it for ordering an 8RX a year in advance. This one was here 2 days after the John Deere intro where I got to do a test drive video and because it rained that day it took about 5 days for the ground to dry out. As soon as the ground was good it was in the field. Very quick turn around.
I'm glad you noted the torque rating because that's what really pulls the ripper through the ground. HP is the sexy number but torque is the real measure of an engine's power
bigtractorpower just a friendly FYI from an engineer... torque in this case is measured in ft*lbs. that’s a measure of a foot multiplied by pound. Not foot per lb.
I would have liked to see the wheeled version and the tracked version pulling side by side. I don't think the soil conditions were comparable. The wheeled tractor was dealing with a lot of red clumps.
How is the steering? with such a contact patch with the ground surface can you ever feel it want to get into a situation where it doesnt want to make a complete lock one direction or the other? can you ever feel any type of bump steer? The tie rod looks massive as it looks to be a solid bar of rectangle steel. Wish I had one in the living room lol.
Very nice looking tractor! Some nice features! Surprised that it would not come standard with a IVT trans, but the power-shift would be cheaper. I would really LOVE to see what this tractor would do in the Louisiana mud! It’s very, very wet here in Southern, Manitoba 🇨🇦 as well. I hear tracks are giving the farmers some head aches! During the day the tracks get all loaded up with mud and the mud freezes rock hard over night! So they have to knock it all out of there before driving otherwise you ripe a track and ect...
Buenos dias estimado bigtractorpower ,mi pregunta es ? como puedo adquirir esas tracciones para implementarlo a un tractor convencional grasias por su amable respuesta
I rewatched parts of the video and your point about tracks vs tires is better shown in the early part of the video where the tracked tractor is causing waves of upheaval of the ground through some very tough soil. It looked like a rolling earthquake. It looked pretty cool.
The 8RX turns very tight. I was impressed by that. Deere has not published a price on the 8RX yet but on 4wds a 9620R 4wd is $522,000 and a 9620RX on tracks is $628,000. Tracks are the way to go in tillage and are nice on grain carts. They do wear probably a little faster than tires.
Easy way to end up with 1 million dollars as a farmer....start out with 10 million dollars and then go get some nice gear. Looks like a fine machine here and thanks again for another quality show.
It caught a few and had to have shear bolts replaced. I just didn’t show it. I have a tillage video with my friend Billy on the way showing shear bolt replacement.
They will run a chain drag ahead of the planter to smooth the ridges but it just scuffs the surface. This is basically a low till/no till operation. Some farm’s here will subsoil and just plant.
It isn't often that John Deere comes out with a new kind of tractor before another manufacturer does. It will be something to see next Spring in Georgia when those 8RX tractors get to the dealers. Honestly I thought CaseIH would have came out with a fixed framed 4 track tractor first, since they have the Magnum Rowtrac on the market. But that is only on the rear axle. Great video bigtractorpower.
It is a nice tractor. It is interesting because Case IH previews a Magnatrac 4 track 7140 Magnum and a Quadtrac 9250 Steiger in 1992 at the Farm Progress Show. The first 9370 Quadtrac hit the market in 1997. The Magnatrac was held back and held back because they fought a 4 track Magnum would have too high of a price tag. I guess John Deere is willing to push the envelope and bet farmers want a 4 track fixed frame. It will be interesting if a red version finally comes to market now.
I have never seen a final tier 4 engine smoke that 8370R must be deleted because it rolled at bit of coal at the headland when the ripper went down.Our dealer recieved a pre production wheeled machine 2 days ago also.
I have to say that thing is super impressive especially when you compared it to the tire tractor doing the same job tracks are definitely the way to go I just bet the price tag for that thing is going to be pretty steep
I've owned track machines and wheel, tracks are nice till its time to start replacing components, way to many moving parts to wear out....as compared to buying new tires.
U know guys I know what ur saying when I worked on the farm in California those 4010 4020 jd had the umbrella lol my face and lips sunburned alot but when I got in on the 4440 4840 jd I went to heaven lol and I'm wanting to operate the new stuff now
Just curious about your tract vers wheel while ripping... Wheel video showed huge clumps being pulled up and traction issue... Trac video showed no clods or ground lift.... To me it wasn't a true video statement.. Don't get me wrong I really enjoy your videos and watch regularly.. Just feel you miss advertised Trac to wheel in that video....
I used the 8370R clip to show how the tires struggle. You can see the 8RX running a few passes over from the 8R. The first 30 seconds of this video show the 8RX pulling into the pass right next to where the 8R had spun. You can see the 8RX glides right into the pass and keeps going with out effort.
@@bigtractorpower just didn't see the earth move like the wheel machine.. wheel machine was doing some serious deep ripping moving some dirt. Serious lift... Great video tho. Great to see you driving the tractor... You should see if you can do more from the driver's seat to give honest reviews...
In the first 30 seconds of the video where the 8RX takes off it makes that pass right next to where the 8370R ran. You can also see the 8RX a few passes over from the 8370R in that clip. They were in the same field conditions. The 8RX turn around was on the back of the field.
I could not say yet as a published price is not out yet but a 9620R is $522,000 and a 9620RX is $628,000. So I expect tracks on an 8RX will be higher than a wheeled 8R.
@@bigtractorpower Ok. Is there some suspension added to the wider stance? Or is it just a result of physics? I'm assuming it's the latter, but I don't quite understand what's causing it. 😊
It all depends on how wide the tracks are spaced. This tractor has a top recommended speed of 26 mph. I have not had a chance to see this one on the road.
Hey btp, first of all thanks for the great video. Next week starts the agritechnica in Hannover, one of the largest farm equipment shows in the world. I hope the 8rx is there. Well greetings from germany
“Massage feature”, my Uncles who farmed in the 50s, 60s, and 70s are rolling in their graves. They were lucky if they had an umbrella. I know these machines are fabulous, but in away I think it must leave the farmer a little detached from the land. I bet you can’t even smell the dirt turning over. I know it’s needed for today’s mega farms but in a way it’s a little sad.
I hear your point. I grew up in the 70’s and 80’s. When I was young it was common to still see Farmall M in a field with a pan seat. Many farms had 2wd open station tractors like 1066s and 4020s. I remember older remarking that in their day a cab was seen as an unnecessary item as the 1086 and 4440 with cabs were taking over. I think they kind of looked down on farmers who had a cab.
@@scruffy6151 our first tractor with a radio was an international 785xl, i was 11 when it came hame shiny n new and it's still on our place and im 48 now, i have a lot of fond memories of carting bales, turnips, barley, carrots etc in that old yoke lol
I don’t disagree with you. I am not trying to sell this tractor but just report on it. While the 8RX and 8R were not side by side you can see the 8RX just a few passes over. Also at the very beginning of the video you see the 8RX turn and take off across the field. That starting point was right next to the 8Rs pass shown in the video. You can see a little bit of a gap between the passes the .8RX in that first 30 seconds hits that red dirt with out hesitation. Observing wheeled and track tractors subsoiling for the past 18 years I say great confidence tracks win hands down in that application. If I get a chance to film tracks and wheels with the same implement side by side I will defiantly show it. For this video I want to give a visual example of the difference . The 8370R operator parked his tractor to go start combing soybeans down the road so that opportunity did not arise for this video.
A question BTP.. Do you have to manually have to operate the impempent even though you are using auto-guidence ? Sir you are a highly skilled 🚜 driver. Great video BTP. 👍👍
Yes you have to raise and lower the implement. I appreciate your complement. I do not have allot of tractor seat time. I enjoyed driving this 8RX and a 9RX on the same day. I still have lots to learn. It was fun.
It will most likely have a hefty price tag. A Fendt 1000 is a different class of tractor than an 8R. The Fendt is much larger but when you add 4 tracks the cost will most likely surpass larger wheeled machines.
I would imagine that it won't cost any more than a twin track, which based on JD's current lineup, model for model, carries about a $20k premium over wheels. Do these quads even require any different hardware(outside of the cosmetics of course, which it's nice to see a track row crop model styling designed around the tracks) over the wheel model, outside of what I assume is a different final drive than the wheel models? I would assume that the 4 axle tractors(non-twin tracks, which carry unique front frame hardware) just go down the production line, get the appropriate rear end for the drive method, then either get a set of wheels or a set of tracks, w/ or w/o axle tube extensions based on the ordered track width. But, outside of the track units and some cheap cosmetic parts, I don't see where else the cost would be. In comparison, the twin tracks carry unique hardware that the wheel and quad tracks won't. I guess without knowing the cost of the track units vs the cost of the twin track undercarriage, it's just difficult to say. Speaking of the AGCO 1000 tractor twins, I wonder if we'll see Deere take the 9RT model, and offer it with a set of wheels and quad tracks(as a fixed from like the 8RX), leaving them with a 9-series that features quad tracks and wheels with an articulating frame and twin tracks, quad tracks, and wheels with a fixed frame. Given that they already offer the 9RT twin track, it's not a big leap to add wheel and quad track models to it. I would imagine that the pending success of the AGCO 1000 twins will dictate this sort of thing in the future. ...and, WHEN THE HELL IS CHALLENGER GOING TO HAVE AN ARTICULATING QUAD TRACK?!?!?! They're THE 'track brand' - this drives me nuts!!! lol
@@RyTrapp0 Challenger and Claas seem to do just fine with their twin track to date, you'll be likely to see a Xerion 5000 as a quad than the challenger.
@@piperdoug428 Well it's certainly not that the twin track Challengers are lacking - I mean, a set of tracks receiving 600HP gets about any job done. It just never made an ounce of sense to offer a full track lineup, then add an articulating 4WD that's only available in wheeled form. It really undercuts the brand image when they originally sold the twin track concept as being capable of replacing an articulating 4WD - then release their own articulating 4WD, and only in wheeled form in spite of so many other brands offer the quad track option. It just seems like poor brand management honestly, if AGCO is going to offer so many brands and share product between so many brands, then they need to commit to differentiating them. If Challenger & Fendt are going to share products, then put the Challengers on tracks, or at least make them an option for all of the Challenger branded tractors - not only does this make sense for the brand, but there's also clearly plenty of demand for track options for damn near EVERYTHING(the aftermarket brands even offer them for self propelled sprayers, among everything else). Hell, half of these brands are offering aftermarket tracks as factory - might as well do the same for the Challenger brand.
Biggest flaw in the video.. no matter what is said everything has to be exactly the same , field , implement, speed conditions everything.. otherwise it’s not an accurate comparison.. and plowing through the same path . I noticed the wheeled tractor was pulling up large sections of compact soil and tripping shanks back . This bye far no real legitimate test .

I think I mention the price in the video. The price may not have been out when I posted this video. This 8RX was filmed three days after the public release in 2019. It is $628,000.
yes if you can afford one, track's are not cheap we know we have bought combines have are on tracks mmm we had a great offer on them and sold them could not get tracks for the harvest to wish we did this year the tracks we will have we had to know trouble to sell the new combines we got just have one lift we did destroy that one was our mistake how we pulled it out we are looking how to repair it as to structure repairs we need to do to this machine the other option is to part it out for parts and we have no problem doing this to machinery at all we do have used machinery parts for farm equipment

I totally agree on the looks. I mentioned the 20/30 series two cylinder look during my test drive video. It’s sharp.

Cool 8RX tractor!
Finally. So happy to see these bad boys in action. And a seat that massages... Flipping sweet! Good stuff.
I should have mentioned the seat is heated and air Conditioned as well. 😁
You're having all the fun, BTP. Thanks again very much!
Thank you for watching.
I'm not going to lie. These 4 track tractors look pretty cool out there in the field. Almost like science fiction.
It feels like what I would think a lunar vehicle would be like to drive on the moon. It’s smoother and tighter than a 9RX.
Excellent Jason
How smooth and effortless that machine looks
It really is. It’s a nice machine.
I would have liked to see the wheeled version and the tracked version pulling side by side. I don't think the soil conditions were comparable. The wheeled tractor was dealing with a lot of red clumps.
@Mgtow Farmer i have to agree different soil conditions and not weighted the same
You don’t weight wheeled tractors and track tractors the same
Crazy how much these tractors have changed. 👍
@Steven Arnold a silverado costs that much now lol
@Steven Arnold as much as 3 beautiful, large houses
I think you have the best job getting to drive all typs of farm equipment thank for showing it.
Great video

How is the steering? with such a contact patch with the ground surface can you ever feel it want to get into a situation where it doesnt want to make a complete lock one direction or the other? can you ever feel any type of bump steer?

The equipment is a big investment but when you stay ahead of the weather it pays for itself.
That is Awesome! Thanks for showing us one BTP!
Thank you for watching. I just got to film this 8RX on a strip till bar. Stay tuned for another tillage video.
Nice JD. Didn't see the ripper hit any rocks. Nice machine🚜👍
It caught a few and had to have shear bolts replaced. I just didn’t show it. I have a tillage video with my friend Billy on the way showing shear bolt replacement.
Is there another tillage pass before planting?
They will run a chain drag ahead of the planter to smooth the ridges but it just scuffs the surface. This is basically a low till/no till operation. Some farm’s here will subsoil and just plant.
Fantastic Fantastic video
Thank you for watching. .
Seems to be a impressive machine, looks way better then last 8r series.
Those LED side lights a 360 view?
How many will buy these instead of leasing?

It suits that job a treat. Nice combination with that 8RX
It is a very compact tillage set up compared to the 9620RX that was running with it.

Love all the cool videos !!
Thank you for watching.

It is a very nice set up and ride.
Ya sure is
You do an excellent job with all your videos! Focused on the equipment, and not just a "look at me!" type video like some of these other You Tubers.
Thank you for watching and your comment. I am an equipment fan. It’s fun to get out in the field to share these machines.
I've owned track machines and wheel, tracks are nice till its time to start replacing components, way to many moving parts to wear out....as compared to buying new tires.
True, but twin tracks, in my opinion, better than quad tracks but wheels are easiest to get parts for and tires.
Besides the front ballast can these track tractors be field weighted? Or is it not needed with the tracks?
I will have to ask. On two track models weight can be added to the drive wheels. On 4wds they can stack extra weight around the rear hitch.
👍👍. Can’t wait to see more in action in 2020
👍👍
VERY VERY NICE GOOD JOB 😍👏👏👏👏👏❤👍

Ultimate. It has every option except the grille camera.
@@bigtractorpower nice
That didn't look compacted as the 8370R. The ground wasn't hard like 8370R

Awesome tractor more features than my jeep
It’s loaded up. I should have mentioned the seat is heated and air conditioned.
What's the projected price difference with a wheeled machine vs the track?
I could not say yet as a published price is not out yet but a 9620R is $522,000 and a 9620RX is $628,000. So I expect tracks on an 8RX will be higher than a wheeled 8R.
Can someone explain to me the purpose of spacing the tracks so far out from the tractor? 😊
The wider 129 inch stance creates a much smoother ride. When the tracks are set at a tight 76 inches you feel every bump in the field.
@@bigtractorpower Ok. Is there some suspension added to the wider stance? Or is it just a result of physics? I'm assuming it's the latter, but I don't quite understand what's causing it. 😊
The E23 is a 23 speed powershift, 23 forward gears, not sure how many reverse gears
I believe it has 11 reverse gears
Awesome! Been waiting on this video since the dealership test drive!! Keep up the good work!
Me too 😁👍👍. It got done I less thanks Week. Just had to let the ground dry up.
Along with all of the new technology comes a BIGGER price tag
Yes but it also will get a few more acres covered too.
Thing is a beast
👍👍
John deeere y zanello son los tractores mas poderosos..
If the price is right i bet they will sell real good. Thanks for the video sod buster
Nice piece of equipment I'll bet you can hold on to your checkbook whenever John Deere reveals the price.
Tracks no doubt increase the price. A John Deere 9620R is $522,000 and a 9620RX is $628,000.
Is it smoother ride on the road with 4 tracks vs 2?
It all depends on how wide the tracks are spaced. This tractor has a top recommended speed of 26 mph. I have not had a chance to see this one on the road.
Very impressive. Would love to see the 30" tracks!
That would be neat to see. I think that size track will be popular in Europe for heavy tillage.
Can’t wait for either Ertl or Spec cast comes out with model of the R8x tractor
Ertl has a 1/16, 1/32 and 1/64 8RX on the way. I will put a video on Toy Tractor Times UA-cam this week.
That does a good job with that ripper , looks like something on a outer space movie tho. , lol but I like it

I do like new 8R especially yellow stripe, old school👍hiding feature is servicing points/servicing schedules on fan cover.
Great video BTP you also did a great job running the new JD that is the basest JD
Thanks for watching.
The 8r and the 8rx are using 2 different rippers tho
Both 7 shank at 18 inches. One is a DMI and one a Deere. Similar set up accomplishing the same goal. Tires will struggle more than tracks.
I'm betting the ground doesn't care...

The hoods looks better than the older one
It has nice modern styling.
Agreed it looks amazing
@@NexLevelBacon and worth every penny of $600,000.
Nice tractor, but just think of all the electronics and computers needed to run that thing. I'll keep my sound-gard era tractors lol
Dude you keep quoting wheelbase variations.. They are track variations. The thing doesn't get longer...
The axle can be extended from 88 to 120 inches to fit narrow 20 inch rows to 30 inch rows. 18, 24 and 30 inch tracks are available.
A question BTP..
Do you have to manually have to operate the impempent even though you are using auto-guidence ?
Sir you are a highly skilled 🚜 driver.
Great video BTP. 👍👍
ROBERT Daly yes
Yes you have to raise and lower the implement.
I appreciate your complement. I do not have allot of tractor seat time. I enjoyed driving this 8RX and a 9RX on the same day. I still have lots to learn. It was fun.
I can imagine it will be the most expensive fixed body on the market, probably out price the 1050 Fendt
It will most likely have a hefty price tag. A Fendt 1000 is a different class of tractor than an 8R. The Fendt is much larger but when you add 4 tracks the cost will most likely surpass larger wheeled machines.
I would imagine that it won't cost any more than a twin track, which based on JD's current lineup, model for model, carries about a $20k premium over wheels. Do these quads even require any different hardware(outside of the cosmetics of course, which it's nice to see a track row crop model styling designed around the tracks) over the wheel model, outside of what I assume is a different final drive than the wheel models? I would assume that the 4 axle tractors(non-twin tracks, which carry unique front frame hardware) just go down the production line, get the appropriate rear end for the drive method, then either get a set of wheels or a set of tracks, w/ or w/o axle tube extensions based on the ordered track width. But, outside of the track units and some cheap cosmetic parts, I don't see where else the cost would be. In comparison, the twin tracks carry unique hardware that the wheel and quad tracks won't.
I guess without knowing the cost of the track units vs the cost of the twin track undercarriage, it's just difficult to say.
Speaking of the AGCO 1000 tractor twins, I wonder if we'll see Deere take the 9RT model, and offer it with a set of wheels and quad tracks(as a fixed from like the 8RX), leaving them with a 9-series that features quad tracks and wheels with an articulating frame and twin tracks, quad tracks, and wheels with a fixed frame. Given that they already offer the 9RT twin track, it's not a big leap to add wheel and quad track models to it. I would imagine that the pending success of the AGCO 1000 twins will dictate this sort of thing in the future.
...and, WHEN THE HELL IS CHALLENGER GOING TO HAVE AN ARTICULATING QUAD TRACK?!?!?! They're THE 'track brand' - this drives me nuts!!! lol
@@RyTrapp0 Challenger and Claas seem to do just fine with their twin track to date, you'll be likely to see a Xerion 5000 as a quad than the challenger.
@@piperdoug428 Well it's certainly not that the twin track Challengers are lacking - I mean, a set of tracks receiving 600HP gets about any job done. It just never made an ounce of sense to offer a full track lineup, then add an articulating 4WD that's only available in wheeled form. It really undercuts the brand image when they originally sold the twin track concept as being capable of replacing an articulating 4WD - then release their own articulating 4WD, and only in wheeled form in spite of so many other brands offer the quad track option.
It just seems like poor brand management honestly, if AGCO is going to offer so many brands and share product between so many brands, then they need to commit to differentiating them. If Challenger & Fendt are going to share products, then put the Challengers on tracks, or at least make them an option for all of the Challenger branded tractors - not only does this make sense for the brand, but there's also clearly plenty of demand for track options for damn near EVERYTHING(the aftermarket brands even offer them for self propelled sprayers, among everything else). Hell, half of these brands are offering aftermarket tracks as factory - might as well do the same for the Challenger brand.
Biggest flaw in the video.. no matter what is said everything has to be exactly the same , field , implement, speed conditions everything.. otherwise it’s not an accurate comparison.. and plowing through the same path . I noticed the wheeled tractor was pulling up large sections of compact soil and tripping shanks back . This bye far no real legitimate test .
I don’t disagree with you. I am not trying to sell this tractor but just report on it. While the 8RX and 8R were not side by side you can see the 8RX just a few passes over. Also at the very beginning of the video you see the 8RX turn and take off across the field. That starting point was right next to the 8Rs pass shown in the video. You can see a little bit of a gap between the passes the .8RX in that first 30 seconds hits that red dirt with out hesitation. Observing wheeled and track tractors subsoiling for the past 18 years I say great confidence tracks win hands down in that application. If I get a chance to film tracks and wheels with the same implement side by side I will defiantly show it. For this video I want to give a visual example of the difference . The 8370R operator parked his tractor to go start combing soybeans down the road so that opportunity did not arise for this video.
Toolbar doesnt look level..... Needs tilted forward a bit.
That’s a BEEFY BOI 👀😱
It’s a solid machine.
Price
I think I mention the price in the video. The price may not have been out when I posted this video. This 8RX was filmed three days after the public release in 2019. It is $628,000.
yes if you can afford one, track's are not cheap we know we have bought combines have are on tracks mmm we had a great offer on them and sold them could not get tracks for the harvest to wish we did this year the tracks we will have we had to know trouble to sell the new combines we got just have one lift we did destroy that one was our mistake how we pulled it out we are looking how to repair it as to structure repairs we need to do to this machine the other option is to part it out for parts and we have no problem doing this to machinery at all
we do have used machinery parts for farm equipment
Looks like a Case IH rowtrac.
Tea Bag ya but 900 times better😂
3:50 16.5” too
I wish I could subsoil my garden like that .
Deere offers a 1 row subsoiler 😁
U can spin that black thing on ur throttle to go faster
👍
John Deere has let me down, by moving some of it's operation to Mexico.
From the side shots it looks like the tractor has slippage because the hubs spin much faster than ground speed. Nice set up for sure.
That JD IVT transmission sure does whine a lot.
They do, but theyre sure nice for alot of jobs. I think id rather use powershift for tillage but that's about the only job
The back of it looks weird for some reason
The back looks some what like an 8RT. It does look docent.
Taking a look at the wrinkly thing(8r)
Now big tractor power is gunna trade his international in on an 8rx lol
I like the 8RX but I will stick with V8 Power.
yea that was not very good match up at all
