e18 PowerShift transmission (PST) with Efficiency Manager feature
The e18™ transmission delivers smooth shifting and intuitive controls in a reliable 18-speed PST transmission. The e18 transmission with enhanced Efficiency Manager™ is standard equipment on all 9 Series Tractors.
Efficiency Manager is automatically enabled in auto and custom modes. Efficiency Manager can be turned on in manual mode by selecting the set speed one or set speed two button on the CommandARM™ console. The set speed adjuster on the top of the single-lever gear selector allows the operator to dial in the desired ground speed to establish set speed one or two. Once engaged, Efficiency Manager will manage the engine rpm and gear selection to maintain the desired working speed. To reach the desired set speed, the throttle must be set to full engine rpm.
JDLink services and Service ADVISOR diagnostic systems
JDLink™ is the John Deere telematics system designed for operators and managers who desire to take their operations to the next level of productivity and efficiency without leaving the office. Whether it is receiving an e-mail or text message, users can manage the operation in real-time without being in the cab. Using the power of JDLink can optimise productivity, increase uptime, and boost profits with JDLink information all accessible from a laptop, desktop, or mobile device.
Service ADVISOR™ diagnostics greatly assist in reducing service costs and downtime. It allows the John Deere service technician to readily extract vital information about tractor malfunctions through the Service ADVISOR data port. Diagnostic codes and controller area network (CAN) bus statistics stored by the tractor and visible in the CommandCenter™ display are used by service technicians to isolate, identify, and resolve problems.
Diagnostics and CAN bus statistics are not normally used by the operator. Access and use of trouble codes should only be done by a qualified, factory-trained John Deere service technician.
More power to the ground and implements
Designed specifically for heavy equipment usage, the John Deere HydraCushion suspension system combines with the four-wheel drive (4WD) axle components to deliver unsurpassed productivity gains. It reduces the possibility of power hop, thereby ensuring that the tractor will put more power to the ground, while giving the operator a more comfortable ride.
Fully independent 1000-rpm PTO is available as a factory or field-installed option. All tractors in the 9 family utilise an electro-hydraulic PTO-engagement switch to activate the optional 1,000 rpm PTO with 45 mm diameter shaft. This allows you to run the equipment longer per season, for example operating large grain trailers during the harvest season.
Tractors in the John Deere 9 family offer a wide range of hitch, PTO and drawbar options, combining incredible pulling power with versatility across a huge variety of applications. John Deere’s advanced hydraulic technology helps reduce the load on the engine and improves fuel efficiency, delivering high flow rates at lower rpm for low fuel consumption and a quieter ride.
General maintenance
Regular service and maintenance are essential to the performance, productivity, and longevity of all farm machinery.
All items in the daily service schedule can be performed without the use of tools:
- Engine oil, hydraulic oil, coolant level, and water separator can be conveniently accessed from ground level without having to open the hood. Engine oil can be checked by simply removing one small engine side panel.
Engine oil service point
- Engine can be easily accessed by simply raising the one-piece hood and removing two engine side panels for more periodic maintenance checks.
- Single-point latch mechanism ensures easy hood opening and closure.
Intelligent Power Management (IPM) to selective control valves (SCVs)
9620R and 9620RX Tractors will have the option of factory or field-installed seeding hydraulic IPM. IPM is an additional 25-50 engine horsepower unlocked via intelligent software monitoring hydraulic demand and engine power. Especially in high-demand air seeding applications, IPM can provide additional engine power to seed up and over large hills and through the tough spots.
The seeding hydraulic IPM package contains both software and hardware components designed to increase the performance of tractors operating implements that require continuous hydraulic power, specifically the John Deere 18.3-m (60-ft) 1895 Separate Fertiliser Placement Drill, 23.2-m (76-ft) 1870 Air Hoe Drill, and C850 Air Cart.
