The John Deere 8R is the wheeled version of the 8 Series, built for planting, tillage, hauling and the long hours of a large row crop operation. Independent Link Suspension (ILS) keeps the tires in contact with the ground for better power delivery and a smoother ride, and every 8R comes with fully integrated precision ag technology.
Koenig Equipment sells and services 8R tractors across Ohio and Indiana. Request a quote and our team will help you choose the horsepower and transmission that fit your implements.
