John Deere’s record-breaking 8400R tractor makes its first appearance at Cereals 2017 in June this year. The 400hp 8400R tractor recently set world records for fuel efficiency (field and transport) and maximum drawbar performance at the DLG test station in Germany.

It beat its nearest competitors by almost 23% in drawbar performance and lowered the combined fluid consumption figure for field work to only 247g/kWh.

This translates into 6% higher pulling capacity and a reduction in fuel consumption of up to 2% compared with the previous top of the range 8370R model, enabling wider implements to be used to increase productivity and maximise total fluid efficiency.

Powered by a new John Deere 9-litre Stage IV compliant engine and featuring an e23 transmission with Efficiency Manager, the 8400R delivers up to 450hp with Intelligent Power Management (IPM). This tractor is also fitted as standard with JDLink telematics, including remote display access (RDA) and wireless data transfer (WDT) linked to the MyJohnDeere.com website portal.
