Add a level of security with this custom door lock handle. This kit replaces the factory-installed handle with a lock cylinder that is different from the ignition start switch and includes two matched keys. Additional keys must be made at a local locksmith.

This adapter allows users to connect an amp-style, three-socket connector to the John Deere-style power strip connection type. Use this adapter to quickly and easily connect amp-style power accessories to older, vintage tractors that do not have an amp-style outlet already in the cab without cutting wire harnesses. This adapter can be kept connected into the John Deere-style power strip if users are regularly moving a unique display between vintage and newer tractors in the fleet.

The nine-pin electrical connector is required to allow TouchSet™ depth control to be used with implements with this feature. The harness provides a position input to the tractor selective control valve (SCV) unit, enabling the TouchSet system.
 
This feature allows the operator to adjust height and depth of remote lift cylinders by using the TouchSet controls in the cab.

This adapter allows users to connect aftermarket displays to the universal amp power connector. The female three-socket connector has three flying leads that can be fused to the display harness. Once installed, the display harness will connect to the three-prong amp power adapter in the cab or to the RE67015 outlet adapter.

This kit allows any ISO-designed implement to transmit data to the tractor and back. It provides a controller area network (CAN) communication connection for front hitch ISOBUS implements.

The ISO cab implement CAN bus adapter is available to connect any ISO compliant implement or device to an 8R, 8RT, 9R, 9RT, and 9RX (including Scraper Special) Tractor. These connectors are commonly used for planter frame control boxes. 

 

Refer to the operator's manual, sections 16 (CommandCenter™) and 25 (Operator Station), for additional information on ISO implements.

 

NOTE: If the harness is not in use, unplug it from the ISO 11783 location or plug the four-pin connectors together on the harness. If neither of these are done, implement CAN communication errors occur.

The implement switch indicates to the CommandCenter™ system when the implement is raised or lowered, providing accurate data collection when using a performance monitor.

The model year 2020 and newer large tractors (with updated cab) have a low-profile, offset StarFire receiver integrated into the roof shell. However, there is a mounting bracket solution to add a StarFire 3000 (with deluxe shroud) or StarFire 6000 Receiver. This bracket connects to the center of the front roof near the wiper motor for an exceptional fit with a clean look. The 12-pin wiring harness on both the StarFire 3000 and StarFire 6000 are compatible with the base cab electrical connector.

These kits include an inverter module, wiring harness, and interior color-matched receptacle. The mounting location is at the left C-post interior above the storage compartment or refrigerator unit. This inverter allows an operator to utilize household powered items such as a laptop or power tool charger. The receptacle kits are specific for either type B (compatible with type A and B plugs) or type C style socket (compatible with type C plugs). An interior, color-matched, self-closing cover is included to keep the socket clean from debris when not in use. This same feature is found in Premium and Ultimate Comfort and Convenience packages. Software is not necessary for this update.

Increase visibility in the front, rear, or both areas of the tractor with a video camera system upgrade. If a Select or Premium Visibility package was ordered from the factory, producers can still upgrade to a front and/or rear video camera by simply purchasing the camera parts and mounting bezels.

 

The front camera mounts into the grill, and the rear camera mounts above the rear window in the roof assembly. These video cameras are a direct harness plug-in and do not require a software update. Video feed comes through the display on the CommandARM™ console.

The optional cold start package is recommended for tractors frequently started at or below -6°C (21.2°F).

 

The kit includes a factory-installed activation switch and ether valve with ether canister. A 120-V, high-wattage block heater and grounded cord are also included with the factory-installed option.

The engine ether kit is recommended for tractors frequently started in cold weather. This kit injects ether into the engine, allowing quick combustion in below-average temperatures.

IPM

NOTE: IPM is only available for Final Tier 4 (FT4)/Stage V engines, and not for Stage II and Tier 3/Stage IIIA engines.

 

This feature is for many typical farming operations that use the rear power take-off (PTO) in high-power applications or the tractor as a transport vehicle. Operators who are looking for more power in non-stationary PTO and transport applications will be interested in the IPM feature.

 

In high rear PTO power applications such as forage harvesters, rototillers, and beet or potato harvesting equipment or where heavy trailers, carts, or implements are moved to and from various locations, this feature provides significant additional capabilities. The solution improves productivity with more consistent ground speeds, quicker acceleration, and the ability to better hold desired transport speeds.

 

This two-in-one tractor solution successfully operates in power-intensive PTO and transport applications without being disadvantaged by the extra costs of the next higher horsepower model.

 

This feature is available as a factory- or field-installed option.

Tractor applications

Rear PTO field applications

• Rear-mounted snow blowers
• Sugar beet harvesting
• Forage harvesters
• Potato harvesting
• Rotary cutters
• Mower conditioners
• Flail mowers
• Balers
• Soil stabilizing
• Power harrow
• Vegetable bed formers
• Muck spreaders

 

Transport applications

• Grain carts or wagons
• Slurry tanks
• Implement transport from field to field
• Pull-type sprayers
• Extensive operation in hills/roadways

 

This is not intended to be an inclusive list of all applications but shows the wide range of uses for additional engine horsepower.

Power available

IPM provides a controlled power boost of up to 26 engine kW (35 engine hp) to the tractor under the following operating conditions:

• Tractor moving and PTO under load
• Transport during acceleration

Power increase is not provided under draft applications or non-moving rear PTO applications.

How it works

There are specific operating parameters when IPM functions to boost engine power. It is the "intelligent" part of the system that provides seamless operation while adjusting the engine horsepower limits depending on how the tractor is being used. For engine horsepower boost activation, the tractor must be running an application that is using the full power capability of the tractor.

 

PTO activation

Power must be sensed going through the PTO by the tractor's electronic systems. The tractor must be moving at least 0.5 km/h (0.3 mph) and PTO consuming moderate power before power boost is enabled.

 

NOTE:  If the tractor is equipped with a front PTO, additional IPM power may transfer through the front PTO. However, IPM activation is only sensed through the rear PTO. Adequate load must be sensed on the rear PTO for IPM to activate (non-transport work).

Transport activation

When in transport applications, power transition is smooth. The engine will respond seamlessly as load changes, such as when going up and down hills. Additional power is available at a useful transport speed with minor differences between tractor models and transmissions.

 

The minimum ground speed is where additional power will begin to be applied, assuming the engine is already fully loaded. Ramp up to full additional power occurs as speed continues to increase. Full additional power occurs within a 3 mph (5 km/h) band.

 

Transport during acceleration: power boost increases from 23 km/h – 28 km/h (14.3 mph – 17.4 mph).

Transport during deceleration: power boost decrease from 23 km/h – 18 km/h (14.3 mph – 11.2 mph).

Power boost levels other than at rated rpm

Power boost is a function of engine speed per the following example:

IPM (shown in red in chart above versus standard power shown in blue) provides additional engine horsepower from rated engine speed down to 1600 rpm, which is peak engine torque.

Operator visibility and control of operation

All tractors have the power meter display function as base equipment. The operator can observe when full capabilities of the tractor are being utilized. This function graphically displays power utilization up to rated horsepower and power bulge.

 

The power meter can be found in the CommandCenter™ display. If the engine is off or has minimal load, the power meter will not fill in. The meter is similar in concept to a cellular phone's signal-strength meter. As the power increases, it will fill in bars in an icon. The display will also show the level of additional power being used. The long section represents up to the rated power. The smaller section represents power bulge and is an indicator of additional power available with IPM.

 

Via the CommandCenter, there is also the ability to enable or disable the function. The Operator's Manual provides simple details about navigating the engine screen.

 

If equipped with this option, IPM is automatically enabled each time the tractor is started. IPM can be turned off through the CommandCenter display.

Tractor compatibility with additional power

IPM has been thoroughly tested by John Deere engineers to be compatible with the base tractor equipment with no impact to reliability. John Deere provides IPM. Unapproved aftermarket devices that boost power without regard to engine, transmission, axles, and drawbar, or hitch capability.

 

This feature provides optimal utilization of tractor components. For example, with moving PTO operation, power splits through axles to move the tractor along the ground and turn the PTO shaft and implement. Adding power to this combined system does not overload either one individually. At transport speeds, axle torque load decreases significantly from levels seen at working field speeds. Adding IPM power at transport does not overload transmissions or axles.

 

Aftermarket devices are not selective when power increases are available. Great amounts of power increase may be promised with these devices. Large power changes are not compatible with base tractor equipment. The tractor’s systems are specifically designed to ensure durability of the total vehicle as power increases. Operating outside of the design capabilities of the tractor base equipment will have an impact on durability and reliability.

 

 

8R Tractors with a factory-installed front hitch do not have position sensing. Due to front hitch implements (like the 131 Mower-Conditioner) being further ahead of the 8R front axle, the front hitch should be operated in the float position. A front hitch chain-hook kit should be installed to control the hitch height position. This kit allows the front hitch to float in the event the suspension reaches its maximum travel.

This hitch is suitable for use under normal conditions including primary tillage equipment or lifting heavy implements. The ground-engaging version is designed for full clearance and does not limit the turning radius at any tread width setting.

 

The tractor frame includes the mounting points for the push bar, making field conversion possible. Link conversion is possible by removing two pins for each link. Install the push bar with four cap screws in the front, four in the mid-chassis, and tighten two large jam nuts where the push bar attaches to the push bar bracket. There are no ground clearance trade-offs with the addition of the push bar and heavy-duty links. Both versions of the front hitch are entirely compatible with the front power take-off (PTO).

 

The conversion kit to ground-engaging front hitch adds 117 kg (260 lb) of additional weight to the tractor.

Front weights provide additional ballast for the front axle

Cast Quik-Tatch suitcase weights (R127764) can be added to provide additional ballast for implements that exert heavy draft loads and require additional ballast or with hitch-mounted implements that require additional ballast to maintain steering control while transporting.

 

These weights are Quik-Tatch weights that require minimal effort to attach.

Pickup weights

Pickup weights are designed to add fast weight to the tractor. The following pickup weights can be mounted at the front.

 

Support (base weight):

• 900-kg (1948-lb) pickup weight
• 1150-kg (2535.3-lb) pickup weight

All pickup hitches can also be mounted at the rear in the 3-point hitch as a counter weight. To use the third mounting point, an additional center-link bracket is available.

 

1500-kg (3307-lb) and 1800-kg (3968.3-lb) pickup weights

 

The two weights differ only internally, therefore no external differences are visible.

 

The pickup weights can either be installed on the rear hitch or on the front hitch of the tractor using the center-link bracket. They cannot be mounted directly on the front base weight. A front hitch is required. The center-link bracket for installation is included.

The shape of the 1500-kg (3307-lb) and 1800-kg (3968.3-lb) pick-up weights allows for quick and safe mounting. This is ensured by an optimal alignment of the weight and the tractor along with a self-centering design.

 

Major benefits of the design:

• Easy and comfortable
• Less time is required
• Lower risk of injury

 

Due to the user-friendliness, an optimal ballasting of the tractor is guaranteed at any time.

 

The performance of the tractor is used to a greater extent, which leads to higher productivity and a reduction in fuel consumption.

The weights cannot be front installed in combination with Quik-Tatch front weights.

 

NOTE: Ballast should be limited by the lowest of either tire capacity or tractor capacity. The carrying capacity of each tire should not be exceeded. For more ballasting information refer to the Operator's Manual and ballast calculator.

This kit is for adding only the SCVs to tractors that are not front hitch ready from the factory.

 

The addition of these front SCVs are required for the use of front hydraulically-powered implement accessories such as a hitch, loader, snow blower, or other accessories. Additional kits (such as software, mounting brackets, and joysticks) may be necessary depending on the accessory and functionality desired.

This kit provides additional hydraulic valve control for operation of implements that do not require a front hitch.

 

It allows for the installation of a third mid-mounted SCV.

This attachment provides SCV hydraulic lines from the mid-valve to the front of the machine to control implement functions from the cab.

This attachment provides SCV hydraulic lines from the mid-valve to the front of the machine to control implement functions from the cab.

The auxiliary reservoir kit for the 7R Series Tractors holds 20 L (5.3 gal.) of oil, providing a total hydraulic oil capacity of 85 L (22.5 gal.). This additional volume helps ensure that the tractor has enough hydraulic oil for applications using large single-acting cylinders or needing large hydraulic oil flow in a short period of time. Examples of common applications benefiting from the kit are dump wagons, cane carts, and beet or potato harvesters run at lower engine rpm.

 

The reservoir is only available as a field-installed kit to meet the needs of specific applications and is not needed for ordinary hydraulic operations.

NOTE: CommandQuad™ transmissions have 85 L (22.5 gal.) of takeout standard and do not require this kit.

This is a power beyond kit that can be used to assist with hooking up large equipment where multiple connections are required. The function is to supply oil to implements that have their own control valves for certain functions and do not need the controllability aspect that an SCV would give.

The implement single-lever lift-assist kit is designed to be used with implements needing a separate lever to be used for lift-assist wheels.

To assist in hooking up to large equipment requiring multiple connections, various auxiliary hydraulic couplers are available.

This kit includes:

• One load sense coupler
• Two power beyond pressure couplers
• One motor left-return coupler

 

The components of the kit are suitable for use with most planting and seeding equipment.

 

Hydraulic motor return couplers can be used as a coupler for return oil flow from hydraulic orbital motors and other devices to the tractor's low-pressure return port, labeled "R" on the tractor.

 

This connector is used specifically in the return oil from hydraulic components that require a leak-off line connection to the tractor. Components and implements that require this typically are larger, orbital motors that require a drain for seal protection.

 

The auxiliary sump coupler allows oil to return from the hydraulics motor at low pressures. This coupler is required for correct attachment to current-production seeding products with case drain lines. The connector in the sump port is not to be used to carry return flow from a function to the tractor.

 

The power beyond coupler provides live hydraulic power to equipment. It supplies oil pressure to implements when the engine is running. Any implement using power beyond must have a way to control oil flow. Use an independent control valves that is a pressure-and-flow-compensating (supplied separately) to control the oil flow rate from this coupler set.

For increased versatility, two 1000-rpm front PTO options are available from the factory for 7R and 8R Series Tractors equipped with the John Deere front hitch.

• Type 2, 1000-rpm (counterclockwise as seen from front), 35-mm (1 3/8-in.), 21-spline front PTO
• Type 3, 1000-rpm (counterclockwise as seen from front), 45-mm (1 ¾-in.) 20-spline front PTO (available through Parts only)

Front PTO features include:

• The ability to be incorporated with iTEC™ sequences
• Three choices of engagement modulation: auto, low, and high
• Integrated controls
• Cornerpost display indicators 
• Bolt-on shaft makes it easy to change shafts if necessary.
• Remote PTO engagement

7R specific features:

Intelligent Power Management (IPM)

IPM is compatible with 7R and 8R Series Tractors equipped with a front PTO option. The front PTO, rear PTO, or transport speeds can activate IPM on 7R Tractors. However, on 8R Tractors, IPM is only activated by the rear PTO or by transport speeds. For example:

• A front snow blower will not benefit from IPM on an 8R since the front PTO alone will not activate IPM.
• A triple-mounted mower-conditioner will benefit from IPM as high power levels are transmitted via the rear PTO. The front mower-conditioner will have 112 kW (150 hp) available to it on an 8R, which is adequate to operate these mowers in most crop conditions.
• See Intelligent Power Management for more information.

PTO disconnect on 7 Family Tractors

Disconnecting the PTO drive to the PTO box when not in use increases tractor efficiency by reducing:

• Power requirements, which saves nearly 70 percent of power required to run the PTO disengaged
• Wear on components of the PTO box; components are not moving when the PTO is disconnected

Refer to the Operator’s Manual for instructions on how to disconnect the PTO when not in operation.

Front PTO operation

Front PTO engagement is actuated through an engagement switch similar to the rear PTO located on the CommandARM™ controls.

• PTO clutch is electronically activated with automatic torque modulation.
  • PTO modulation is selectable through the CommandCenter™ display.
• To activate the PTO remotely, select the remote PTO enable button in Generation 4 CommandCenter display, push down and forward on the front PTO switch in the cab and use the remote control at the front of the tractor.

NOTE: For the 8R Series, if the tractor is equipped with a front PTO, additional IPM power will transfer through the front PTO. However, IPM activation is only sensed through the rear PTO. Adequate load must be sensed on the rear PTO in order for IPM to activate.

Some of these kits are equipped with AutoDetect functionality and others are not, depending on vintage of vehicle kit.
 
Always follow correct service intervals and perform required maintenance on the implement braking system by following the implement operator’s manual.

Overview

The hydraulic screen kit is available to protect the cooler from chaff and debris accumulation. Once the kit is installed, the rail system of the kit holds a mesh screen in place at the bottom of the machine. The screen can be easily removed/reinstalled by sliding it through the rails using the service handle.

 

Benefits

• Minimizes chaff introduction to hydraulic cooler fins
• Reduces cleaning time for cooling components
• Increases the efficiency of the cooler over time (assuming buildup of material is removed from the screen)

The undercarriage crop shield kit is used to protect the undercarriage when working in crops where undercarriage damage is a concern such as in sugar cane or cotton. The undercarriage crop shield protects the transmission and wiring harness on the bottom side of the tractor.

The kit contains four shields and appropriate hardware to install between the front and rear axles and below the fuel tank. The shields are mounted on the bottom side of the chassis (transmission housing casting and oil pan) using existing tapped hole locations.

In today’s agricultural environment, accuracy and precision are more important than ever. For something as basic as ground speed, operators need key information for precise control of various implements and the tractor. To support these needs, tractors can be ordered with a dual-beam radar unit as a factory- or field-installed option.

 

There are several key features that have changed from previous designs.

 

First, there are two horns for exit of the radio beam. This dual-beam design assures a powerful and accurate signal that will cut through interference that at times makes single-beam units inaccurate (see 1 in the image above for beam locations). Dual-beam output makes radar less susceptible to hard surface or tall/wavy grass interference.

 

Accuracy is aided by a heavy-gauge mounting bracket and rubber isolators that reduce chances that vibration can affect the radio signal.

 

Dual-beam radar has a fast update rate. When the tractor comes to a stop, accelerates, or varies speed, the indicated ground speed on the tractor display will closely match the actual ground speed. This is important for implements that use radar speed to control operation such as planters, seeders, fertilizer applicators, and sprayers.

 

In addition, the dual-beam radar does not require calibration to assure accuracy. Its self-calibrating ability is sure to save setup time by elimination of a special procedure that was required in the past.

 

The radar true ground speed sensor activates the following CommandCenter™ display or performance monitor readouts:

• Percent slip
• Hitch slip command (if equipped)

Radar usage improves the accuracy of the following CommandCenter display or performance monitor functions:

• Area covered
• Area/hour
• Distance and ground speed

Dual-beam units are compatible with controller area network (CAN) bus and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) bus electrical systems.

• 1150-kg (2535.3-lb) pickup weight

All pickup hitches can also be mounted at the rear in the 3-point hitch as a counter weight. To use the third mounting point, an additional center-link bracket is available.

 

1500-kg (3307-lb) and 1800-kg (3968.3-lb) pickup weights

 

The two weights differ only internally, therefore no external differences are visible.

 

The pickup weights can either be installed on the rear hitch or on the front hitch of the tractor using the center-link bracket. They cannot be mounted directly on the front base weight. A front hitch is required. The center-link bracket for installation is included.

The shape of the 1500-kg (3307-lb) and 1800-kg (3968.3-lb) pick-up weights allows for quick and safe mounting. This is ensured by an optimal alignment of the weight and the tractor along with a self-centering design.

 

Major benefits of the design:

• Easy and comfortable
• Less time is required
• Lower risk of injury

 

Due to the user-friendliness, an optimal ballasting of the tractor is guaranteed at any time.

 

The performance of the tractor is used to a greater extent, which leads to higher productivity and a reduction in fuel consumption.

The weights cannot be front installed in combination with Quik-Tatch front weights.

 

NOTE: Ballast should be limited by the lowest of either tire capacity or tractor capacity. The carrying capacity of each tire should not be exceeded. For more ballasting information refer to the Operator's Manual and ballast calculator.

Front weights provide additional ballast for the front axle

Cast Quik-Tatch suitcase weights (R127764) can be added to provide additional ballast for implements that exert heavy draft loads and require additional ballast or with hitch-mounted implements that require additional ballast to maintain steering control while transporting.

 

These weights are Quik-Tatch weights that require minimal effort to attach.

Pickup weights

Pickup weights are designed to add fast weight to the tractor. The following pickup weights can be mounted at the front.

 

Support (base weight):

• 900-kg (1948-lb) pickup weight
• 1150-kg (2535.3-lb) pickup weight

All pickup hitches can also be mounted at the rear in the 3-point hitch as a counter weight. To use the third mounting point, an additional center-link bracket is available.
