The John Deere 9RT puts high horsepower on two tracks for heavy tillage, large planters and air seeders. All three models run the 13.6 L JD14 engine and the e18 18-speed PowerShift transmission, with precision ag technology built in.
Koenig Equipment sells and supports 9RT tractors across Ohio and Indiana. Request a quote on any model and our team will help you spec tracks, hydraulics and the visibility package for your operation.

The three models share the same engine, transmission and track system. The step up is power and torque for bigger implements and tougher draft.
