I think Deere has 400hp in their 8R series and their 9R is +800 hp. The 9R is center pivot steer

Cases new quad track is 715 but I think the new Deere 9rx is 800 something

 

[GreenEnvy]

JD 9RX at 830 horsepower. The high horsepower 9RX series are a bigger frame and much more operating weight and not just a 620 hp tractor with a bigger engine like what Case did to get the 715.

715 is a bit bigger than the 620. Frame is longer and tracks are bigger assemblies. Not as big as the large 9RX though.

Not according to the CIH website and tractor data. The both have the same wheelbase. Plus the max allowable operating weight for a 715 is actually a few thousands pounds lower than the base weight on just the JD 9RX 710. The 715 is just a jacked up 620 or 645 with slightly longer tracks. We saw the comparisons between the two tractors when the 9RXs came out.

I can't hardly fathom needing that much power in a farm tractor when you can pull 40-60 foot with 4-500HP and how can you turn around in small fields. We have a few BTO's that are working thousands of acres with 20 foot or slightly bigger chisel plows and keep up with the combine picking 12 rows at a time. 3 of them I know of get everything done by end of December. they all get planted in fine style time wise and just keep working at it . 2 of them have a couple Trains for hauling grain out of the field and one has 3 hopper trailers and a set of trains. They haul about 1500-2000 bushel per load. One of them went by the hose yesterday with the hopper train and was probably full up with at least the 2000 in it. We will be loading a train today a couple times and put 2022 bushel was one of the scale tickets he handed me the other day when he loaded here. 56+ 15or16 moisture off the field corn.

Those green things are called copy tracks, not quad tracks.

Fathom this. 75 to 100ft drills with 1,000+ bushel carts are becoming normal around here. Those need these 700+ hp tractors and the weight. I run out hp and traction with our 60ft drill and 650 bu cart in our hills with a 520 hp tractor. Also I seed fields small as 9 acres with that drill. It’s not a problem.

[Absent Minded Farmer]

Whatever came of that? There was all sorts of news about it early on & then nothing. Did BB just produce the one new one?

And what does it cost to feed them ponies.

What does it cost to feed the kids when the good planting weather in the spring suddenly turns wet for six weeks?

We had a 8960. Huge improvement over the Versatile 976 it replaced.

 

[Bruce from Can.]

800 -900 hp tractors , growing the same $180-$200/ton corn at least price wise that we grew 50 years ago with tractors 100hp and less. And harvesting back then with combine that cost less than 100grand. And we could buy and pay for the equipment. Hard to see how we have made what we call progress

Buying, right now with the used market heading down leases are not very attractive.

Keep in mind that if you spend enough money with them, Mother Deere will knock better than 25% off that list price.
