John Deere has redesigned the steering system on 2024 versions of its 6R and 7R series tractors. There are also new integrated displays for all 6, 7, 8 and 9 series models.
The redesigned steering column and new steering wheel on 6R tractors is claimed to take driver comfort and on-the-road performance to the next level, and the new dampening system available on both Premium and Ultimate seats, is said to set new standards.
Larger cylinders (standard to all 7R models) provides a 50% increase in steering capacity on 2024 7R tractors. To enhance operator comfort during transport, the 7R features a new automotive type steering system. Known as reactive steering, and activated via a softkey on the CommandCenter, the system naturally recentres itself and improves line holding significantly. Two additional front brake discs further increase road performance, and all 7, 8 and 9 series tractors have a new high-resolution corner post display and a built-in StarFire 7000.
Other driver comfort improvement updates for next season include the new G5 CommandCenter displays. The G5Plus CommandCenter includes documentation, data sync, JDLink connectivity, variable rate application, section control and AutoTrac guidance as standard on all six-cylinder 6R, 7, 8 and 9 series tractors.
The 12.8-inch G5Plus CommandCenter is a third larger than the previous display, comes with 1080P high definition and a much faster processor for higher levels of precision.
