John Deere 8370 RT

Engineering Excellence of the Tracked Tractor

At the core of the John Deere 8370 RT lies the 9-liter PowerTech PSS engine with dual-turbochargers. This architecture is engineered for stable torque under heavy-duty conditions, such as deep ripping or operating large-scale seeding complexes. The combination of an intercooler, Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR), and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) allows the engine to meet stringent emissions standards without sacrificing raw power delivery.

Undercarriage: Contact and Load Distribution

The standout feature of the 8370 RT is the patented AirCushion track system. Unlike rigid frames, the mid-rollers operate independently, absorbing shocks from uneven terrain. This provides two practical advantages: higher operational speeds in the field without losing control, and reduced vibration stress on electronic components and the drivetrain, effectively extending the machine's service life.

Intelligent Power Transfer

The AutoPowr transmission provides a continuously variable transmission (CVT) experience, ensuring no power interruption during operation. In the field, the system automatically selects the optimal gear ratio based on soil resistance. The mechanical power split effectively transfers torque to the tracks, minimizing friction losses. Additionally, the engine RPM management during transport significantly optimizes fuel consumption during field-to-field transit.

Hydraulics and Precision Control

The Pressure-and-Flow Compensated (PFC) hydraulic system delivers up to 227 liters per minute, which is critical for modern implements requiring continuous oil flow for vacuum fans or seeding control systems. All management is centralized through the CommandCenter terminal, allowing for millimeter-precise adjustments of hitch parameters, which prevents slippage and ensures consistent working depth across the entire field.
