Connected Support technology

When you buy John Deere equipment, you expect reliability. You also know that problems can happen, and a product is only as good as the support behind it. That’s why John Deere equipment is prepared with technology that senses potential issues and can alert you and your dealer promptly—in the cab or anywhere you are.

John Deere Connected Support is a revolutionary change to support that leverages technology and the connectivity of JDLink™ telematics to prevent downtime and resolve problems faster. These tools decrease downtime by an average of 20 percent, enabling faster responses to unexpected problems and reducing technician trips to your machine. For some issues, unplanned downtime can even be prevented altogether through prediction of the issue.

With your permission, John Deere Connected Support:

Keeps you running by monitoring machine health and promptly alerting you and your dealer of issues
Saves time by remotely viewing in-cab displays, reducing trips to the machine
Reduces or even eliminates technician trips to a machine through remote diagnostic and remote software reprogramming capabilities
Connects experts with the information needed to respond to downtime faster and prevent it altogether

With more than a decade of experience leveraging connectivity to solve problems, no one else has the experience, tools, and knowledge to keep you running as John Deere and your John Deere dealer can. Connected Support is an in-base feature on all John Deere products with factory- or field-installed JDLink.

Maximizing uptime using connectivity and technology

Your needs and success are the focus of John Deere. John Deere makes it easy for you to benefit from having a connected tractor in your operation. All tractors come standard with JDLink™ telematics system and customers can turn on connectivity in the John Deere Operations Center™ application.

If you’re an advanced tech user, you’ll enjoy the benefits of a highly intelligent machine connected to a full suite of solutions on the most open platform in the industry. Advantages of a connected machine include:

StarFire 6000 Integrated Receiver eliminates all setup, installation, and global positioning system (GPS) calibrations
AutoTrac™ assisted steering guides the machine with accuracy in a variety of field conditions
Automation is an option with some applications
John Deere Connected Support™ is a proactive service approach to improve service efficiency and reduce machine downtime

Ultimate Visibility package at night (shown on 8R)

Visibility is one of the most important attributes of the cab, but it is more than just lighting. In addition to lighting, John Deere visibility packages include mirrors, sunshades, wipers, and camera readiness. Some benefits of the visibility packages include:

Three package levels to fit your needs – Select, Premium, or Ultimate
Operate confidently with greater visibility

8R Tractor with cab suspension and air seat

8R Tractors offer a variety of suspension options to fit your specific field conditions or application. There are three options to choose from on 8R Tractors. An air seat with fixed cab offers a great balance of field and road comfort in an economical package. Cab suspension with an air seat reduces high-frequency vibrations typically associated with road transport. The ActiveSeat™ II equipment is typically chosen for field applications to reduce vertical movement and operator fatigue.

Air seat with fixed cab offers excellent ride quality in a variety of applications
Two-post cab suspension with an air seat offers exceptional ride for operators spending time on the road
ActiveSeat II greatly reduces vertical motion experienced in field applications
Choice of options is available on all 8R Tractors

Independent-Link Suspension (ILS™) primarily helps deliver power to the ground by maintaining proper tire-to-ground contact through a fully independent system. In addition, ILS greatly improves ride over rough or uneven terrain and drastically decreases power hop.

ILS suspension system

8RX and 8R Tractors in the field

All 8 Series Tractors come standard with an 85-cc (5.2-cu in.) hydraulic pump. This pump provides up to 227.1 L/min (60 gpm) hydraulic flow. A dual pump option featuring 85-cc and 35-cc (5.2-cu in. and 2.1-cu in.) displacement hydraulic pumps is available for all 8R and 8RX Tractors. The dual-pump system provides a hydraulic flow of 318 L/min (84 gpm), ideal for running at lower engine speeds. At the rear, up to six selective control valves (SCVs) are available with 1.9-cm (3/4-in.) options.

Single or dual pump options to fit specific producer applications
Up to 318 L/min (84 gpm) through the dual pump system on 8R and 8RX Tractors
Options from four to six factory-installed SCVs
For maximum flow, 1.9-cm (3/4-in.) SCV couplers are available factory and field installed

A power beyond option is available on all models, and a high-capacity take-out oil reservoir (on 8R Tractors only) is also available for high-demand applications.
