8R 280 TRACTOR

7, 8 and 9 Series tractors offer a SCV stack aimed at improving performance and aftermarket serviceability. These valves further enable customers to fine-tune hydraulic flow rates and make it easier and more affordable to customize an SCV stack. Now you can switch coupler sizes without having to change an entire SCV slice.

Visibility is more than just lighting. It’s mirrors where you need them, shades for the blinding late-fall and early-spring sun, wipers to help keep all the glass clear, and integrated camera capability. The 7 and 8 Series Tractors let you choose the visibility package that best suits your needs – Select, Premium, or Ultimate with 360-degree light-emitting diode (LED) lighting –so you and your operators can run with all-conditions confidence.

8R Tractors offer a variety of suspension options to fit your specific field conditions or application. There are three options to choose from on 8R Tractors. An air seat with fixed cab offers a great balance of field and road comfort in an economical package. An adjustable cab suspension with an air seat reduces high-frequency vibrations typically associated with road transport and features three levels of firmness that can be easily adjusted on the fly. The ActiveSeat™ II equipment is typically chosen for field applications to reduce vertical movement and operator fatigue.

• Air seat with fixed cab offers excellent ride quality in a variety of applications
• Two-post cab suspension with an air seat offers exceptional ride for operators spending time on the road
• ActiveSeat II greatly reduces vertical motion experienced in field applications
• Choice of options is available on all 8R Tractors

Independent-Link Suspension (ILS™) primarily helps deliver power to the ground by maintaining proper tire-to-ground contact through a fully independent system. In addition, ILS greatly improves ride over rough or uneven terrain and drastically decreases power hop.

All 8 Series Tractors come standard with an 85-cc (5.2-cu in.) hydraulic pump. This pump provides up to 227 L/min (60 gpm) hydraulic flow. A dual pump option featuring 85-cc and 35-cc (5.2-cu in. and 2.1-cu in.) displacement hydraulic pumps is available for all 8R and 8RX Tractors. The dual-pump system provides a hydraulic flow of 318 L/min (84 gpm), ideal for running at lower engine speeds. At the rear, up to six selective control valves (SCVs) are available.

• Single or dual pump options to fit specific producer applications
• Up to 318 L/min (84 gpm) through the dual pump system on 8R and 8RX Tractors
• Options from four to six factory-installed SCVs
• For maximum flow, 1.9-cm (3/4-in.) SCV couplers are available through field installed

A power beyond option is available on all models, and a high-capacity take-out oil reservoir (on 8R Tractors only) is also available for high-demand applications.
