The ILS system gets more power to the ground because the front tires maintain ground contact pressure. This improves field and transport ride plus increases ballasting flexibility and drastically decreases the tendency to power hop.
The ILS axle maintains minimum oil levels in the front differentials to assist in providing overall tractor operating efficiency.
John Deere ILS has three systems:
- A mechanical system
- A hydraulic system
- An electrical system
Mechanical system
The mechanical system is further broken down into the mechanical drive system and mechanical suspension system.
The mechanical drive system includes:
- A three-position switch is included on a MFWD clutch.
- The MFWD clutch has six clutch discs and separator plates that can transfer as much as 40 percent of the tractor power through to the front ILS axle.
- The front differential transfers power from the engine to the individual right and left driveshaft through a ring and pinion.
- A hydraulically engaged front differential lock containing eight clutch discs and eight separator plates works in conjunction with the rear differential lock to assist the tractor in tough, wet conditions with increased power transfer to all wheels.
- A right and left constant-velocity telescoping driveline provides smooth power transfer to the outboard hubs.
- On 8245R, 8270R, 8295R, and 8320R Tractors, the ILS driveshaft speed is 6:1. On 8345R, 8370R, and 8400R Tractors, the ILS driveshaft ratio is 8:1. By using an 8:1 ratio on higher horsepower tractors, power can get to the wheels while minimizing the torque the U-joint experiences.
The mechanical suspension system consists of large cast, upper- and lower-control arms with cast steering knuckles for durability and reliability.
- There is a high steering capacity, even with dual wheels – 25 percent increase over model year 2013
- High torque in all steering positions provides maximum transfer of power to the wheels under all conditions
- Fully independent suspension maintains optimum ground contact at all times
Hydraulic system
The hydraulic system consists of suspension cylinders, a control valve manifold, a front differential lock, and hydraulic accumulators.
- There is a high steering capacity through large steering cylinders.
- Responsive link arms maintain contact with the ground surface, giving maximum tractive performance under any condition.
- Accumulators dampen energy from bumps to produce a smooth ride for maximum operator comfort.
Electrical system
The electrical system contains position sensors, solenoids for the control valves, and a master controller for complete automatic control of the ILS system.
How does it work?
The mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical systems work together to maintain a level and vertically-centered position of the front differential case in relation to the outboard hubs and planetaries, independent of tractor weight or dynamic loading. The system’s ability to maintain a vertically centered position provides full suspension travel of 25.4 cm (10 in.). This translates to consistent soil contact for improved power to the ground as well as dampens the energy from bumps that cause a rough ride.
The tractor utilizes electronic and computer controls that monitor tractor functions and axle position. Based on those inputs, the electrical system automatically triggers hydraulic functions to raise, lower, or remain static.
The John Deere ILS uses a short/long A-arm design, which means the upper control arms are shorter than the lower control arms. During wheel movement, the upper control arm moves in a smaller arc than the lower control arm, and the difference in the two arcs creates a change in camber. The change in camber helps keep the inside and outside of the front tires perpendicular to the drive surface, a very important feature when optional front dual wheels are installed. This design provides anti-dive characteristics to naturally reduce the adverse effects of braking and acceleration.
The John Deere ILS front axle has been specifically designed to accommodate additional options, such as front 3-point hitches and front duals. To properly handle these options, large steering cylinders and knuckles provide up to twice the steering capacity of the standard MFWD beam axles so steering performance is maintained. A simple steering stop arrangement offers infinite adjustability for fine-tuning in any row spacing.
Braking system
With higher speeds and expected heavy towed implements and carts, front brakes are optional on 42-km/h (26-mph) ILS-equipped tractors and part of base equipment on 50-km/h (31-mph) ILS-equipped tractors. The braking system is applied proportionally between the front and rear axle brakes to effectively stop the tractor. There are no operator adjustments or requirements to operate the additional braking system.
Tire compatibility
For travel speeds of 50 km/h (31 mph) B-speed-rated tires that provide high-speed capabilities are required.
With the ability to have a six-step drop from rear to front tire, the 8R equipped with an ILS axle is able to have group 49 rear tires with group 43 fronts. This allows for the benefits of group 49 tires while maintain the turning radius allowed by group 43 front tires.
NOTE: The use of group 44 tires for front duals does not allow for some row crop spacings.
FRONT DUALS
Front dual tires provide:
- Ultimate flotation and compaction management
- Increased load-carrying capacity
- Easy installation or removal; no need to remove the inner tire
- Bolt-on components versus studded flanges for superior flexibility for dual/no dual applications.
- Narrow hub extensions to ensure superior crop clearance for row crop applications
- A serviceability port has been added to eliminate the need to remove the front dual and hub in order to change the hub oil at the required service interval
Hitch application
In hitch applications, it is important to maintain at least 50 percent of the ballasted front-axle weight (with implement raised) for steering control. Referring to the example below, the maximum ballasted weight of the front axle is 7756 kg (17,100 lb). If the tractor has a hitch-mounted implement, when you weigh the tractor with the hitch and implement fully raised, the front weight must be at least 3878 kg (8550 lb) The front axle capacity is directly proportional to the weight that can be carried on the hitch.
The MFWD axle has a front weight carrying capacity equal to the front tire carrying capacity. For example, in row-crop applications using the popular 480/70R34 (155 load index) front tires, the highest load rating is 3878 kg (8550 lb) per tire. A total of 7756 kg (17,100 lb) at maximum tire pressure. This means (depending on tire pressure and speed) there is as much as 3878 kg (8550 lb) available for support of rear implements in transport.
Maximum load carrying capacity of the axle is determined by the load carrying capacity of the tires and whether the tractor is equipped with singles or duals.
Additional ILS features:
There is no on/off switch for ILS operation since the John Deere advanced electronic management system knows when to disengage ILS automatically. The electronic controller will activate a restricted mode of operation, when any of the following conditions are met:
- Both brake pedals are pushed
- The 3-point hitch raise/lower switch is activated
- The tractor is placed in park
- Wheel speed is less than 0.5 km/h (0.3 mph)
- Tractor is correcting for an out-of-level condition
Based on the inputs received (speed, suspension displacement, braking and operator input to hitch and/or remote cylinders), the tractor determines when the system should be active or inactive, making operation simple and efficient.
MFWD COMMANDARM™ CONTROLS FOR ILS
Shortcut keys on the CommandARM enable the operator to engage or disengage MFWD on the go, even under full load without stopping or clutching. The switch can be placed in one of the following positions:
1. AUTO
2. On
3. Off (brake assist)
MODE 1 – AUTO
When this light-emitting diode (LED) light is lit, MFWD is on but automatically disengages when either of the following conditions are met:
- Either brake pedal is depressed and held to allow tighter turns
- Transporting at speeds above approximately 23.0 km/h (13.8 mph) to reduce tire wear; automatically engages when speed drops below 19.0 km/h (11.4 mph)
- When the front wheel turn angle meets an operator-defined point
As with the brake-assist position, when both brakes are depressed, the MFWD automatically engages (if not already on) to provide four-wheel braking.
MODE 2 – MFWD ON
When this LED light is lit, MFWD engages continuously.
Mode 3 MFWD off (brake assist)
When no LED lights are lit, the MFWD is off. This is also referred to as the brake-assist position. Even though the MFWD is disengaged, when both brakes are pressed at speeds above 5 km/h (3 mph), the MFWD engages to assist braking the tractor.
DIFFERENTIAL LOCK
The differential lock is another feature of the ILS axle. When the rear differential lock is engaged or disengaged, the front differential lock is also engaged or disengaged. This also includes a driveline shield.
If one wheel begins to slip, the differential lock can be engaged on the go and the axles are hydraulically locked together for maximum traction. There are two ways to engage the differential lock feature.
- Manual differential lock – differential lock can be engaged manually using a switch on the floor or by manually depressing a button on the CommandARM console. When brakes are depressed, the differential lock will disengage
- Automatic differential lock – when in auto mode, differential lock is engaged when the tractor is driving forward. Differential lock will disengage when front wheel turn angle meets disengage wheel angle setting defined by the operator via the CommandCenter or when either brake pedal is depressed. Differential lock will automatically engage when brakes are released or front wheels are turned straight.
Additional equipment for use with ILS axle
- 3M front axle spacing kit:
Front axle static weight for the ILS axle shall not exceed 6759 kg (14,900 lb) using the 3M kit - H480 Front Loader
Refer to the material handling section for additional information.
ohn Deere 8R Series Tractors are utilized in numerous applications that place different demands on tires. As such, multiple tire offerings are available for 8R Series Tractors to accommodate a wide range of grower needs. Tire options provide variability in terms of ground clearance, tread width, and floatation to match different operating conditions.
John Deere sources 8R Series Tractor tires from the following major brands:
- Mitas® tires
- Firestone® tires
- Goodyear® tires
- Michelin® tires
- Trelleborg® tires
TIRE MATCHING (REARS AND FRONTS)
Front and rear tires for 8R Series Tractors are sized and combined under different group sizes based on tire rolling circumference. All front tire options for 8R Series Tractors are classified as group 42, 43, or 44, while all rear tires are classified as group 47, 48, or 49. The approximate overall diameters for each group are shown in the following table.
Group | Overall diameter |
42 | 1498 mm (59 in.) |
43 | 1600 mm (63 in.) |
44 | 1676 mm (66 in.) |
47 | 1955 mm (77 in.) |
48 | 2057 mm (81 in.) |
49 | 2172 mm (85.5 in.) |
For tractors with mechanical front-wheel drive (MFWD) or Independent-Link Suspension (ILS™) front axles, there typically needs to be five steps (or group size difference) between the front and rear tires to maintain proper tire overspeed between axles. This means the group 42 front tire needs to be matched with group 47 rear tire, and group 43 front tire needs to be matched with group 48 rear tire.
On 1500 MFWD axles, four-step combinations between front and rear tires are also acceptable (determined at the time of ordering the tractor). This means group 44 front tire can be matched with group 48 rear tire, or group 43 front tire can be matched with group 47 rear tire. Six step combinations are possible on tractors equipped with ILS, allowing group 43 front tires to be paired with group 49 rear tires in order to maintain narrower tread functionality with row crop width tire options.
Additionally, tires have a load index rating designed to report the load carrying capability of the tire.
GROUP 49 REAR TIRES
John Deere 8R Series Tractors are now approved for group 49 rear tires. Group 49 tires have a larger diameter and longer footprint, which results in greater traction in most field conditions compared to smaller group size tires of the same section width and basic design. Group 49 tires also provide a larger air volume than comparable smaller group sizes, which can help control power hop in some conditions.
NOTE:
- Front tread spacing for group 49 tires (group 44 fronts) has to be 1930 mm (76 in.) or wider based on tire size. For 762-mm (30-in.) tread spacings, tractors equipped with ILS may be equipped with group 49 rear tires and group 43 front tires.
- 710/75R42 (group 49) tires are available in singles only (see Configurator for complete offering)
- 480/95R50 (group 49) tires are available in duals only (see Configurator for complete offering)
- Operators will experience a decrease in turning radius with group 49 tires due to the larger-diameter group 44 front tires.
ROW WIDTH GUIDELINES
Multiple tire options are available for 8R Series Tractors to accommodate multiple applications or row widths. Refer to the minimum recommended row widths for tire options based on the row-width requirements in the following table.

Electrical
9-Pin Connector Implement Feedback – RE58827
The RE58827 9-pin electrical connector is required for TouchSetTM depth control to be used with implements with this feature. The harness provides a position input to the tractor selective control valve unit enabling the TouchSet system.
This feature allows the operator to adjust height and depth of remote lift cylinders by using the TouchSet controls in the cab.
Battery Disconnect, Wheel – BRE10243
Available as either a factory- or field-installed attachment, the battery disconnect switch is used to disconnect the batteries in preparation for 20-day to 90-day storage periods. The switch cuts the power to the entire tractor to aid in maintaining battery life.
An indicator light allows for safe and proper disconnect. The light will flash until it is safe to disconnect. This allows the diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) tank and lines to purge. (Final Tier 4 has an indicator light and Interim Tier 4 has no indicator light)

Front Implement CAN Communication Connector – RE344751
ISO Cab Implement CAN Bus Adapter – RE322780
The ISO cab implement controller area network (CAN) bus adapter is available to connect any ISO compliant implement or device to an 8R, 8RT, 9R, 9RT, 9RX (including Scraper Special) Series Tractor. These connectors are commonly used for planter frame control boxes.
Refer to the operator’s manual, sections 16 (CommandCenter™) and 25 (Operator Station), for additional information on ISO implements.
NOTE: If the harness is not in use, unplug it from the ISO 11783 location or plug the 4-pin connectors together on the harness. If neither of these are done, implement CAN communication errors will occur.
Implement Switch with 10 Ft. (3 m) Harness – RE21519
The implement switch indicates to the CommandCenter™ when the implement is raised or lowered, to provide accurate data collection when using a performance monitor.
Mounting Kit for Radar with Dual Beam Sensor, Wheel – BRE10137
In today’s agricultural environment, accuracy and precision are more important than ever. For something as basic as ground speed, operators need key information for precise control of various implements and the tractor. To support these needs, tractors can be ordered with a dual-beam radar unit as a factory- or field-installed option.
There are several key features that have changed from previous designs.
First, there are two horns for exit of the radio beam. This dual-beam design assures a powerful and accurate signal that will cut through interference that at times makes single-beam units inaccurate. (See 1 in the image above for beam locations.) Dual-beam output makes radar less susceptible to hard surface or tall/wavy grass interference.
Accuracy is aided by a heavy-gauge mounting bracket and rubber isolators that reduce chances that vibration can affect the radio signal.
Dual-beam radar has a fast update rate. When the tractor comes to a stop, accelerates, or varies speed, the indicated ground speed on the tractor display will closely match the actual ground speed. This is important for implements that use radar speed to control operation such as planters, seeders, fertilizer applicators, and sprayers.
In addition, the dual-beam radar does not require calibration to assure accuracy. Its self-calibrating ability is sure to save setup time by elimination of a special procedure that was required in the past.
The radar true ground speed sensor activates the following CommandCenterTM or performance monitor readouts:
- Percent slip
- Hitch slip command (if equipped)
Radar usage improves the accuracy of the following CommandCenter or performance monitor functions:
- Area covered
- Area/hour
- Distance and ground speed
Dual-beam units are compatible with controller area network (CAN) bus and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) bus electrical systems.

This additional volume helps ensure that the tractor has enough hydraulic oil for applications using large single-acting cylinders or needing large hydraulic oil flow in a short period of time.
The reservoir is available as a factory and field-installed kit to meet the needs of specific applications and is not needed for ordinary hydraulic operations.
Front Hitch Hydraulic Motor Return Kit – BRE10171
HYDRAULIC TRAILER BRAKE KIT – BRE10300
The 7R and 8R Series Tractors offer dual-line hydraulic trailer brakes, dual-line air trailer brakes, or dual-line air and dual-line hydraulic trailer brakes, which allow the tractor braking system to connect to implements with high-pressure air or hydraulic brakes. Both systems automatically balance the brake pressure of both the tractor and implement to provide comfortable braking performance.
Trailer brake settings are fully customizable by adjusting gain and pre-brake settings. Trailer brake gain will give customers the ability to adjust how aggressive the trailer brakes are as the tractor brake pedal is depressed. Pre-brake adjustment will allow operators to adjust when the brakes are initiated in reference to the tractor brake pedal being depressed. This along with AutoClutch™ system settings will help the operator achieve optimum braking performance of both tractor and implement. Operators will also be able to test the trailer brake park release while the tractor is still in park during connecting and pre-trip activities.

Hydraulic Trailer Brake, Wheel – RE336452
Hydraulic trailer brakes provide modulated braking of trailers equipped with hydraulic brakes for controlled braking.
- Connects directly to the tractor’s hydraulic system
- Does not require a separate oil reservoir
The hydraulic trailer-brake kit provides the necessary components required by the braking system to hook up to an implement with high-pressure hydraulic brakes. This is achieved by scaling the tractor brake pressure to a corresponding trailer brake pressure in order to try to balance the braking performance as close as possible. A field-installed option is available for hydraulic brakes.
Hydraulic trailer brakes are available as either a factory-installed or a field-installed option.
Low Stand-By Pressure Control Kit – BRE10122
The field-installed kit provides easy installation and operation of equipment using power beyond. After installing this kit, you will be able to manually adjust the standby pressure of the tractor to the application and electronically turn the load sense signal on or off from the cab.
Always turn the load sense signal off when starting the tractor. Turning the load sense signal off will keep the pump at low standby pressure while cranking the tractor.
As a further benefit, when the power-beyond application is not needed, the valve can be turned off, reducing power needed to operate the hydraulic pump and lowering fuel consumption.
- Solenoid
- Manual pressure adjustment
RESERVOIR KIT, ADDITIONAL OIL TAKEOUT – BRE10309
Lighting
Lights, Field Vision Xenon HID Rear Fender Light – RE269641
XENON HID LIGHTS IMPROVE NIGHTTIME VISIBILITY
John Deere has taken advantage of advanced lighting technology. This lighting provides the operator with industry-leading performance in nighttime visibility.
The important part of the system is the use of Xenon high-intensity discharge (HID) bulbs. These bulbs provide extreme brightness and a daylight color output for excellent definition of the field. The performance of this system allows the operator to easily view as much as 250 percent farther ahead, compared to previous tractors. A further benefit is there are no filaments in the HID bulb. Bulb life is increased by as much as 10 times vs. filament-style bulbs.
FRONT FIELDVISION LIGHTING
The front lighting package adds three high-intensity discharge (HID) lights to the front grille (see 1 in the image above). To further enhance all-around tractor lighting, there are two additional 65-W halogen work lights added to the left- and right-hand cab roof.
The center of the bulb has a semi-spot lens, and the outer light housings have a flood lens. In row-crop, the operator will notice there is a longer beam of light in the center for following marker furrows. The overall width of the lighting pattern for a non-row-crop operation will be obvious so tilled or seeded passes are easily identified. The inner, larger-diameter light assemblies are used for road transport and use conventional halogen 60-/55-W H4 bulbs. These larger light housings are also used in the base lighting system. With the dual-wattage H4 bulb, the operator will notice that there is a true automotive-style high/low function when operating in the road position.
The cab roof lights can be adjusted to aim to the side or rear of the tractor.
REAR FIELDVISION LIGHTING
The premium HID lighting package (code 1720) adds two adjustable-position HID lights on the rear fenders.
Unlike aftermarket lights where the operating ballast is integral, these lights use a smaller housing with remote-mounted ballast. The smaller housing decreases obstruction for a clear view looking out the rear window. Using the light’s wide-angle flood lens will make it much easier to monitor the widest or longest equipment available.
Lights, Two Roof-Mounted 65W Halogen Front Flood Lights – RE326320
Nighttime visibility can be improved on tractors with two roof-mounted front floodlights or two roof-mounted side floodlights.

Intelligent Power Management (IPM)
IPM is compatible with 7R and 8R Series Tractors equipped with a front PTO option. The front PTO, rear PTO, or transport speeds can activate IPM on 7R Tractors. However, on 8R Tractors, IPM is only activated by the rear PTO or by transport speeds. For example:
- A front snow blower will not benefit from IPM on an 8R since the front PTO alone will not activate IPM.
- A triple-mounted mower-conditioner will benefit from IPM as high power levels are transmitted via the rear PTO. The front mower-conditioner will have 150 hp available to it on an 8R, which is adequate to operate these mowers in most crop conditions.
- See Intelligent Power Management for more information
PTO DISCONNECT ON 7R SERIES TRACTORS
Disconnecting the PTO drive to the PTO box when not in use increases tractor efficiency by reducing:
- Power requirements, which saves nearly 70 percent of power required to run the PTO disengaged
- Wear on components of the PTO box; components are not moving when the PTO is disconnected
Refer to the operator’s manual for instructions on how to disconnect the PTO when not in operation.
FRONT PTO OPERATION
Front PTO engagement is actuated through an engagement switch similar to the rear PTO located on the CommandARM™ controls.
- PTO clutch is electronically activated with automatic torque modulation.
- PTO modulation is selectable through the CommandCenter™ console and display.
- To activate the PTO remotely, select the remote PTO enable button in Generation 4 CommandCenter display, push down and forward on the FPTO switch in the cab and use the remote control at the front of the tractor.
NOTE: For the 8R Series, if the tractor is equipped with a front PTO, additional IPM power will transfer through the front PTO. However, IPM activation is only sensed through the rear PTO. Adequate load must be sensed on the rear PTO in order for IPM to activate.

Intelligent Power Management (IPM)
IPM is compatible with 7R and 8R Series Tractors equipped with a front PTO option. The front PTO, rear PTO, or transport speeds can activate IPM on 7R Tractors. However, on 8R Tractors, IPM is only activated by the rear PTO or by transport speeds. For example:
- A front snow blower will not benefit from IPM on an 8R since the front PTO alone will not activate IPM.
- A triple-mounted mower-conditioner will benefit from IPM as high power levels are transmitted via the rear PTO. The front mower-conditioner will have 150 hp available to it on an 8R, which is adequate to operate these mowers in most crop conditions.
- See Intelligent Power Management for more information
PTO DISCONNECT ON 7R SERIES TRACTORS
Disconnecting the PTO drive to the PTO box when not in use increases tractor efficiency by reducing:
- Power requirements, which saves nearly 70 percent of power required to run the PTO disengaged
- Wear on components of the PTO box; components are not moving when the PTO is disconnected
Refer to the operator’s manual for instructions on how to disconnect the PTO when not in operation.
FRONT PTO OPERATION
Front PTO engagement is actuated through an engagement switch similar to the rear PTO located on the CommandARM™ controls.
- PTO clutch is electronically activated with automatic torque modulation.
- PTO modulation is selectable through the CommandCenter™ console and display.
- To activate the PTO remotely, select the remote PTO enable button in Generation 4 CommandCenter display, push down and forward on the FPTO switch in the cab and use the remote control at the front of the tractor.
NOTE: For the 8R Series, if the tractor is equipped with a front PTO, additional IPM power will transfer through the front PTO. However, IPM activation is only sensed through the rear PTO. Adequate load must be sensed on the rear PTO in order for IPM to activate.

IPM
NOTE: IPM is only available for Tier 3/Stage IIIA, Interim Tier 4/Stage IIIB, Final Tier 4/Stage IV engines, and not for Stage II engines.
This feature is for many typical farming operations that use the rear power take-off (PTO) in high-power applications or the tractor as a transport vehicle. Operators who are looking for more power in non-stationary PTO and transport applications will be interested in the IPM feature.
In high rear PTO power applications such as forage harvesters, rototillers, and beet or potato harvesting equipment or where heavy trailers, carts, or implements are moved to and from various locations, this feature provides significant additional capabilities. The solution improves productivity with more consistent ground speeds, quicker acceleration, and the ability to better hold desired transport speeds.
This two-in-one tractor solution successfully operates in power-intensive PTO and transport applications at reasonable low fuel consumption without being disadvantaged by the higher weight, the bigger proportions, and the extra costs of the next higher horsepower model.
This feature is available as a factory- or field-installed option.
TRACTOR APPLICATIONS
Rear PTO field applications
- Rear-mounted snow blowers
- Sugar beet harvesting
- Forage harvesters
- Potato harvesting
- Rotary cutters
- Mower conditioners
- Flail mowers
- Balers
- Soil stabilizing
- Power harrow
- Vegetable bed formers
- Muck spreaders
Transport applications
- Grain carts or wagons
- Slurry tanks
- Implement transport from field to field
- Pull-type sprayers
- Extensive operation in hills/roadways
This is not intended to be an inclusive list of all applications but shows the wide range of uses for additional engine horsepower.
POWER AVAILABLE
IPM provides engine power increase in levels proportional to the size of the tractor. IPM provides a controlled power boost of up to 26 kW (35 engine hp) to tractor under the following operating conditions:
- Tractor moving and PTO under load
- Transport during acceleration
- Transport during deceleration
Power increase is not provided under draft applications or non-loaded rear PTO applications. Power increase is only provided when required.
HOW IT WORKS
There are specific operating parameters when IPM functions to boost engine power. It is the “intelligent” part of the system that provides seamless operation while adjusting the engine horsepower depending on how the tractor is being used. For engine horsepower boost activation, the tractor must already be running an application that is using the full power capability of the tractor.
PTO activation
Power must be sensed going through the PTO drive clutch by the tractor’s electronic systems. The tractor must be moving at least 0.5 km/h (0.3 mph) and PTO consuming moderate power before power boost engages. The speeds shown above, assume lowest possible gear or speed setting and the engine running at 2100 rpm.
NOTE: If the tractor is equipped with a front PTO, additional IPM power will transfer through the front PTO. However, IPM activation is only sensed through the rear PTO. Adequate load must be sensed on the rear PTO in order for IPM to activate.
Transport activation
When in transport applications, power transition is smooth. The engine will respond seamlessly as load changes, such as when going up and down hills. Additional power is available at a useful working speed with minor differences between tractor models and transmissions.
The minimum ground speed is where additional power will begin to be applied, assuming the engine is already fully loaded. Ramp up to full additional power occurs as speed continues to increase. Full additional power occurs within a 3 mph (5 km/h) band.
Transport during acceleration: power boost occurs in steps through the range from 23 km/h – 28 km/h (14.3 mph – 17.4 mph).
Transport during deceleration: power boost ramps down in equal steps in the range from 23 km/h – 18 km/h (14.3 mph – 11.2 mph).
POWER BOOST LEVELS OTHER THAN AT RATED RPM
Some operators will run the tractor at full loads and/or run transmissions in auto mode in transport. This means that the engine most likely will not be operating at rated rpm. As the engine is loaded, it will eventually drop off of rated rpm and use the power bulge as rpm slows. This is the way every John Deere PowerTech™ Plus engine operates when it is loaded to maximum power and torque.
IPM (shown in purple in chart above versus standard power shown in blue) provides additional engine horsepower from rated engine speed down to approximately 1600 rpm (shown on the x-axis in image above, with power kilowatt shown in the y-axis), which is peak engine torque.
Horsepower levels are increased above base equipment power bulge values.
If the PTO is engaged and the engine rpm stays near rated speed of 2100 rpm, the full additional power potential for the tractor model will be available for use to handle additional load from the implement or changing terrain.
If the PTO is not in use and in transport operation, and the rpm has dropped off of rated speed, usable additional power boost of IPM will taper off as rpm decreases. The chart above (with 8345R Tractor power curves) shows the relationship of how much additional usable horsepower is available in the operating range. All tractors operate in a similar manner with this feature.
OPERATOR VISIBILITY AND CONTROL OF OPERATION
All tractors have the power meter display function as base equipment. The operator can observe when full capabilities of the tractor are being utilized. This function graphically displays power utilization up to rated horsepower and power bulge.
The power meter can be found in the CommandCenter™ display. If the engine is off or has minimal load, the power meter will not fill in. The meter is similar in concept to a cellular phone’s signal-strength meter. As the power increases, it will fill in bars in an icon. The display will also show the level of additional power being used. The long section represents up to the rated power. The smaller section represents power bulge and is an indicator of additional power available with IPM.
Via the CommandCenter, there is also the ability to enable or disable the function. The operator’s manual provides simple details about navigating the engine screen.
IPM is automatically enabled each time the tractor is started.
TRACTOR COMPATIBILITY WITH ADDITIONAL POWER
IPM has been thoroughly tested by John Deere engineers to be compatible with the base tractor equipment with no impact to reliability. John Deere provides IPM as opposed to unapproved aftermarket devices that boost power without regard to engine, transmission, axles, and drawbar, or hitch capability.
This feature provides optimal utilization of tractor components. For example, with PTO operation, power goes through axles to move the tractor along the ground and turn the PTO shaft and implement. Adding power to both of these systems does not overload either one individually. At transport speeds, drive train torque load decreases significantly from levels seen at low field speeds. Adding power at transport does not overload transmissions or axles.
Aftermarket devices are not selective when power increases are available. Great amounts of power increase are promised with these devices. Large power changes are not compatible with base tractor equipment. To note, base tractor equipment changes as power increases. Larger parts, like hitches, drawbars, tire size, drive train components, axle diameters, and engine calibrations for emission performance and cooling, ensure durability of the total vehicle as power increases. Operating outside of the design capabilities of the tractor base equipment will have an impact on durability and reliability.

Weights
Front Weight – R127764
FRONT WEIGHTS PROVIDE ADDITIONAL BALLAST FOR THE FRONT AXLE.
Cast Quik-Tatch suitcase weights (R127764) can be added to provide additional ballast for implements that exert heavy draft loads and require additional ballast or with hitch-mounted implements that require additional ballast to maintain steering control while transporting.
These weights are Quik-Tatch weights that require minimal effort to attach.
PICK-UP WEIGHTS
Pick-up weights are design to add fast weight to the tractor. Following pick-up weights can be mounted at the front.
Support (base weight):
- Pick-up weight 900 kg
- Pick-up weight 1150 kg
All pick-up hitches can be mounted also at the rear in the 3-point hitch as a counter weight.
To use the third mounting point, an additional center-link bracket is available.
1500 kg and 1800 kg pick-up weights
The two weights differ only internally, therefore no external differences are visible.
The pick-up weights can either be installed on the rear hitch or on the front hitch of the tractor using the center-link bracket. They cannot be mounted directly on the front base weight. A front hitch is required. The center-link bracket for installation is included.
The new shape of the 1500 kg and 1800 kg pick-up weights allows a quick and safe mounting.
This is ensured by an optimal alignment of the weight and the tractor along with a self-centering design.
Major benefits of the new design:
- Easy and comfortable
- Less time is required
- Lower risk of injury
Due to the user-friendliness, an optimal ballasting of the tractor is guaranteed at any time.
The performance of the tractor is used to a greater extent, which leads to higher productivity and a reduction in fuel consumption.
The weights cannot be front installed in combination with Quik-Tatch front weights.
NOTE: Ballast should be limited by the lowest of either tire capacity or tractor capacity. The carrying capacity of each tire should not be exceeded. For more ballasting information refer to the operator’s manual and ballast calculator.
