The John Deere exhaust filter is integrated into the engine design and electronics to provide a seamless operator experience. The engine control unit (ECU) and exhaust temperature management (ETM) system work together to continuously regenerate the exhaust filter using a natural cleaning process sometimes referred to as passive regeneration.
If natural filter cleaning cannot be achieved based on temperature, load, and speed, then particulate matter (PM) must be removed using an automatic cleaning process sometimes referred to as active regeneration. In most cases, filter cleaning does not impact machine operation or require operator involvement. Higher pressures created by our Final Tier 4 (FT4)/Stage IV high-pressure fuel system extend intervals between automatic cleanings.
How EGR works
EGR reduces the high temperatures where nitrogen oxide (NOx) compounds are formed in the engine cylinders by replacing excess oxygen with a prescribed amount of cooled exhaust gas.
Exhaust gases contain more carbon dioxide than oxygen. The EGR valve, in conjunction with the venturi and ECU, allows a controlled amount of exhaust gas to enter the intake manifold to mix with the incoming fresh air. Replacing excess oxygen with cooled exhaust gas leads to lower combustion temperatures, creating less NOx. In addition, EGR allows for advanced timing, leading to optimal performance of the engine, maximizing fuel economy.
Flow of exhaust during engine operation
Exhaust airflow enters into the EGR cooler from the exhaust manifold near the turbocharger.
Based on engine load, air temperatures, and rpm, the ECU opens or closes the EGR valve, allowing a measured percentage of exhaust gas to enter the intake manifold.
The gases mix with the rest of the incoming air from the turbocharger and aftercooler before entering the cylinders.
The following diagrams illustrate how air flows through the engine (PSS).
For added performance and efficiency, the engine passes the exhaust gases through an EGR cooler before it enters the engine.

The standard CommandView III cab offers unsurpassed visibility, operator comfort, control placement, and ride and sound quality.
Features:
ComfortCommand seat improves ride quality and helps to reduce operator fatigue
Features include:
John Deere 9 Family Tractors feature the CommandARM with integrated Generation 4 CommandCenter display. The control layout of the CommandARM utilizes a clean and efficient design which groups controls by function and builds upon John Deere’s history of intuitive and ergonomic control placement and operation. The design of the CommandARM allows for a 40-degree right seat swivel and adjustable positioning matching the operator’s preference.
Controls located on the CommandARM include:
Hydraulic controls utilize fingertip paddle pots for raise/lower and extend/retract functions.
Throttle
The throttle design incorporates buttons which control FieldCruise speed, and transmission eco settings.
Tractor function controls
Located just to the right of the throttle is the Auto-Trac activation button and four sequence controls for iTEC functions. Behind the iTEC sequence controls there are buttons which control the activation and deactivation of differential lock. Differential lock can also be activated by the foot switch on the cab floor.
Controls for radio, lights, rotary beacon (if equipped), hazard flashers, and HVAC system are located to the center-right on the CommandARM, along with power take-off (PTO) for rear PTO.
The Generation 4 CommandCenters features fast adjustment of tractor functions and controls and are integrated into the CommandARM to create a seamless control center.
The following functions can be adjusted and accessed using the CommandCenter display:
The Generation 4 CommandCenter systems have the capability of Remote Display Access (RDA). RDA allows improved communication between an offsite farm manager or dealer and the equipment operator. The user can view exactly what the operator sees on the GreenStar™ 3 2630 Display and Generation 4 CommandCenter from almost any internet-connected device. RDA is available on the 4600 and 4100 CommandCenter and allows for an increase in productivity with quicker problem resolution. By using RDA, the cost of operation will decrease due to reduced labor and travel costs, and maximum efficiency will increase profit.
Seat swivel
The design of the CommandARM allows for up to 40 degrees of right-hand seat swivel.
The e18 transmission delivers smooth shifting and intuitive controls in a reliable 18-speed PowerShift transmission. The e18 transmission with enhanced Efficiency Manager is standard equipment on all 9 Family Tractors.
The e18 has evolved from more than 50 years of John Deere PowerShift technology. With more automatic features, the e18 is easy to operate for all levels of operators and operations. It features three modes of operation, full AUTO, custom, and manual modes. Full AUTO and custom modes manage the engine and transmission to match the desired ground speed to the field conditions. These two modes are ideal for most conditions and take the guess work out of operation. Manual mode is perfect for operators looking to operate the e18 like a traditional PowerShift by bump shifting and managing the engine throttle to their liking.
As the next generation of PowerShift technology, the e18 delivers the strength to handle sudden, high-torque power loads while maintaining responsive, quick, and smooth shifts.
The CommandCenter is the central information system for tractors and allows the operator to program various settings tailored to a specific operation.
To access the tractor’s transmission settings, press the transmission shortcut button on the CommandCenter shortcut bar.
Operating modes
The e18 application settings employ three modes to take full advantage of the engine-transmission communication: Full AUTO mode, custom mode, and manual mode.
Full AUTO mode manages the tractor’s engine and transmission inputs to reach and maintain the desired ground speed set by the operator. This means the tractor will manage shifts and engine rpm to operate at the most efficient level possible. Operators have the ability to set the maximum forward and reverse speeds for their particular applications. In full AUTO mode the operator can adjust the desired ground speed in two ways, by conducting a traditional bump shift or by rotating the dial on the thumb wheel.
When shifting in full AUTO mode, the transmission shifts set speeds and does not always shift gears, meaning the transmission may not necessarily shift gears if it can reach the desired ground speed with a slightly higher or lower engine rpm. Efficiency Manager is automatically engaged while operating in full AUTO mode. As a result, shifting will not take the tractor out of Efficiency Manager in full AUTO mode.
Custom mode operates similar to full AUTO mode but allows operators to adjust operating parameters to meet a specific operation. It also has the ability to activate eco mode for a higher level of operation.
Eco allows two minimum engine speeds to be set. Operators can turn eco on and off by either pushing the eco button on the side of the throttle or by selecting eco in the transmission settings page of the CommandCenter controls. For example, operators may choose to turn eco on during transport to utilize a lower minimum engine speed and then turn eco off while operating in the field where a higher minimum engine speed is desired.
Efficiency Manager is automatically enabled in auto and custom modes. Efficiency Manager can be turned on in manual mode by selecting the set speed one or set speed two button on the CommandARM™ console. The set speed adjuster on the top of the single-lever gear selector allows the operator to dial in the desired ground speed to establish set speed one or two. Once engaged, Efficiency Manager will manage the engine rpm and gear selection to maintain the desired working speed. To reach the desired set speed, the throttle must be set to full engine rpm.
In the advanced settings page, operators can customize the auto shift engine speed droop as a percentage of the full engine speed. In addition, the load anticipation feature can be enabled for the hitch engagement, hydraulic engagement, or both.
Manual mode
Manual mode operates very similarly to a traditional PowerShift transmission with Efficiency Manager.
In manual mode the operator manages the engine and transmission inputs by controlling the shift lever and hand throttle.
Setting start-up gears
The 9 Family Tractors default to 7F and 2R at start up. However, these default start-up gears can be adjusted from 1-13F and 1-3R through the CommandCenter. Refer to the operator’s manual for additional information.

To help boost productivity, a field-installed kit with 3-point hitch controls can be purchased. If this option is selected, control buttons will be located on the 9 Family Tractor’s CommmandARM to access individual hitch settings. There are three buttons — set, lock, and load depth. There is also a rotary encoder that allows for finite movements of the hitch. The rotary encoder is detented, so it clicks for each movement. Additionally, hitch adjustment controls are located under the CommandARM for raise/lower rate.
Hitch load depth
The load depth feature is a useful tool designed to increase performance in tillage applications. Load depth adjustments allow the operator to make adjustments to hitch draft responsiveness.
Draft control helps maintain the operating depth in varying conditions, such as rolling terrain, and varying soil densities.
An additional feature with load depth control is the hitch slip option. Hitch slip uses wheel slip data to supplement the draft control system. If the wheels slip, the 3-point hitch lifts to allow the tractor wheels to maintain traction with the ground. Once the slip condition is no longer present, the hitch lowers to the required depth as determined by the hitch command and load depth settings.
Both of these hitch command options are easily programmable in the CommandCenter display by pressing the load depth shortcut key, followed by using the thumbwheel and confirm key to dial in the desired settings.
For added operator convenience, a 3-point hitch remote control switch is located on top of the left rear fender for 9R, 9RT, and 9RX Tractors. The external remote switches enable the operator to raise and lower the 3-point hitch from behind the tractor while hooking to implements.
Optional high-flow hydraulics are available on 9 Family Tractors by ordering code 3270. The high-flow hydraulic system provides an additional 215 L/min (57 gpm) of flow for a total of 435 L/min (115 gpm). This system is ideal for hydraulic fan motor demands. This system is recommended for agricultural implements with continuous flow requirements. When maximum hydraulic pump capacity is reached, multiple functions will continue to operate at the same proportional flow rate.
The 9 Family Ag High-Flow Tractors have two parallel hydraulic systems. The benefit of this system is that functions can be split between the two systems. Functions that require high flow and low pressure can be combined on one system (for example, air seeder fans, and planter motors). Functions that require high pressure and low-flow can be connected to the remaining system (for example, implement lift, fold, and constant down-pressure systems).
Following these guidelines allows the hydraulic system to run cooler as it prevents both hydraulic pumps from running at high pressure. In general, pumps forced to run at both high pressure and high flows generate much more heat than a pump running at a lower flow or lower pressure.
The system operates with two hydraulic pumps:
For applications requiring continuous high hydraulic flow or multiple 1.9-cm (3/4-in.) hydraulic connections, this SCV stack is designed to maximize efficiency of the hydraulic system while providing additional flow using 1.9-cm (3/4-in.) couplers. Arrangement of the 1.9-cm (3/4-in.) couplers are split between the tractor’s dual hydraulic pumps to even the hydraulic load on each pump. Increasing coupler size from 1.3 cm (1/2 in.) to 1.9 cm (3/4 in.) allows an additional 26.5 L/min (7 gpm) or 17 percent more hydraulic flow through each coupler and reduces backpressure for hydraulic functions such as dual fan motors associated with the Air Power™ 2 system equipped on John Deere C850 Air Carts. With three 1.9-cm (3/4-in.) couplers available, operators can connect to other high-demand functions such as raise/lower. The 1.9-cm (3/4-in.) couplers also allow higher fan motor speeds for high-rate applications and allow more power to the ground due to less restriction on the hydraulic system.
NOTE: This SCV configuration is available on all double-reduction) axle 9420R to 9570R Tractors with high-flow hydraulics and all 9RX Tractors with high-flow hydraulics. This eight-section SCV stack does not include hydraulic Intelligent Power Management (IPM) software.
Connections to 1.3-cm (1/2-in.) and 1.9-cm (3/4-in.) couplers are quick and simple for operators with a split SCV stack configuration at a comfortable connection height.
Regular service and maintenance are essential to the performance, productivity, and longevity of all farm machinery.
Maximum uptime is an important element of productivity.
All items in the daily service schedule can be performed without the use of tools:
NOTE: Always refer to the operator’s manual for complete maintenance and service recommendations.

Severe-duty water separator, if equipped
The severe-duty water separator can extend service intervals and helps to protect the tractor’s fuel system from damage associated with lower-quality fuel.
Simply open the drain valve on the bottom of the separator and drain accumulated water.
NOTE: Cummins® QSX 15 L (915.4-cu in.) engines cannot be equipped with a severe-duty water separator; however, the fuel filter has separating capabilities like the primary filter on John Deere Power System engines.
On the 9R and 9RX, the primary engine air filter is accessible from the left-hand platform for replacement annually or as operating conditions require. The filter is aspirated and extends filter life in dusty conditions by aspirating more than 95 percent of incoming dust. Aspirator suction is created by utilizing the air flow from the cooling fan.
On the 9RT, the primary engine air filter is located at ground level on right side of tractor.
The 9R and 9RX battery location is behind the left-hand step assembly. There are three bolts that secure the swinging step assembly that need to be removed to completely access the batteries. The 9RT top step of the platform conceals the tractor’s three 12-V batteries with 2775 CCA (925-CCA each). Tractors with the Cummins X15 engine will have four 12-V batteries in the same location as tractors equipped with John Deere Power System engines.
Although the batteries are maintenance free, conditions such as long periods of operation at high ambient temperatures and excessive engine cranking may require adding water.
On the 9R and 9RX, a battery boost terminal is located on the left-hand side of the engine for convenient and proper boost assisted starting.
The windshield washer bottle is optional on 9R and 9RX Tractors and is located on the left side of the tractor near the DEF fill point. On 9RT Tractors, it is located on the right-side frame.
Maintenance-free U-joint bearings require no servicing to reduce maintenance time.
A sight glass for the transmission, hydraulic, and axle oil level is located at the back right side of the gudgeon, indicating proper oil levels, and an oil fill neck is located on the back right side of the gudgeon for the 9R and 9RX Series Tractor. The oil fill is located on the top of the common reservoir on the left side of the 9RT Series Tractor and a fill tube is located between the steps and engine of the tractor.
NOTE: The tractor should be off and parked on level ground with the hitch in the lowered position when checking the oil level.
NOTE: Oil level above the top mark on the sight glass can result in power loss and heat generation during transport applications.
Tractors with the 9.0L (549.2-cu in.) and 13.5L (823.2-cu in.) John Deere Power Systems engines feature a 500-hour change interval when using approved John Deere Plus-50™ II oil and a John Deere oil filter.
Tractors equipped with the Cummins QSX 15-L (915.4-cu in.) engine have a 400-hour engine oil and oil filter change interval.
See the tractor's operator's manual for oil change intervals and further details.
The electrical fuse and relay panel is located behind the operator’s seat and just below the cab's rear window. Simply lift up on the operator manual cover for access.
The diode module contains many of the diodes contained in the system:
Electrical system (smart load center)
The electrical system provides a full controller area network (CAN) bus based system on the tractor for improved tractor implement integration and flexibility. Incorporated with the system is a smart load center, which provides fewer fuses, fewer connectors, and simplified wiring for increased reliability.
The solid-state load center’s primary function is to control the majority of high-current loads, such as fender floodlights and the horn. This electronic circuitry will monitor loads and voltages to provide fast reaction time and the ability to alert the operator if a circuit overloads or if voltage is out of specification – for example, open circuit (undercurrent) or short circuit (overcurrent).
The cab fresh air filter is conveniently located beneath the left side of the cab for all 9 Family products:
Cab air recirculation filter
Cab air recirculation filter is located in the roof liner above the operator. 70 percent of the total air volume is recirculated with a blanket effect for enhanced operator comfort.
Cab air filters are not designed to filter out harmful chemicals. Follow the instructions in the implement operator’s manual and those given by the chemical manufacturer when using agricultural chemicals.
A convenient toolbox is located on the left-hand side of the front frame for tool storage and comes standard on all 9R, 9RT, and 9RX Series Tractors.
9R and 9RX Series Tractors have an additional storage box conveniently located on top the left-hand platform.
The 9RT has an additional toolbox conveniently located next to the left side of the batteries for additional storage.

Optional right-hand window wiper with washer fluid is available on standard and premium cabs. This option allows the operator to clean the window in dusty conditions from the comfort of the cab. The windshield wiper fluid tank is located on the operator platform near the front of the cab.
This optional cross-gate joystick replaces fingertip paddle pots for control of selective control valves (SCVs) and allows for programmable hydraulic functionality according to operator preference.
A ball-type drawbar is used when pulling the DN345 Drawn Dry Spreader. The ball-type drawbar minimizes hitch movement during field operation. The drawbar is equipped with a specially-designed 80-mm (3.1-in.) ball, helping to eliminate any fore-aft movement that creates unwanted jerking customary with a standard hitch pin. The Category 4 ball-type drawbar is approved for transport applications and not approved for draft applications. The ball-type drawbar can be interchanged with a factory drawbar in approximately 20 minutes.
The ball type drawbar is not compatible with 9RT and 9RX Series Tractors.
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.)

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.
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 display or performance monitor readouts:
Radar usage improves the accuracy of the following CommandCenter or performance monitor functions:
Dual-beam units are compatible with controller area network (CAN) bus and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) bus electrical systems.

The severe-duty water separator factory-installed option or field-installed kit is available for locations where fuel quality can at times be in question. This kit will extend service intervals and help protect the tractor fuel system from damage if the fuel contains more water than the base filtering equipment can handle on a continual basis.
The 60 micron constructed of stainless-steel filter element must be backflushed whenever the bowl is half full of water. The filter can be backflushed up to five times before the filter must be removed and cleaned. Filter element must be replaced when light is no longer visible through the filter. The replacement interval will vary depending on fuel quality.

It is recommend that the front axle reinforcement kit be installed on all tractors equipped with any type of front ballast.
IMPORTANT: The front frame weight bracket is not intended to be used for pushing other tractors or implements and should not be used for securing chains or cables as tow points.
The front ballast bracket is optional from the factory using order code 8955. In some applications and conditions, it is beneficial to add additional front ballast to offset loads and/or gain additional traction. This kit creates provision to add up to 36 suitcase weights (R127764).
Adding weight to the front of the machine may also require the installation of front axle reinforcement kit factory order code 8041, or field installed BRE10198.
On machines equipped with tow cables, this kit may interfere and require adjustment or additional parts for the tow cable to mount correctly to the front of the machine. Reference the part catalog for additional information.
For implements that require high hydraulic flow, 19-mm (3/4-in.) couplers are available in two configurations.
A single 19-mm (3/4-in.) selective control valve (SCV) coupler is available as a field-installed attachment for dual-pump, 435-L/min (115-gpm) hydraulic systems.
Hydraulic Intelligent Power Management (IPM) with three 19-mm (3/4-in.) and five 12.7-mm (1/2-in.) SCV couplers are available as a factory- or field-installed attachment on 9620R and 9620RX Tractors equipped with dual-pump, 435-L/min (115-gpm) hydraulic systems.
Additional 140-L/min (37-gpm) standard flow SCVs with 1.3-cm (1/2-in.) couplers can be field-installed for those who need to control additional hydraulic functions. Kits include ISO lever-assisted breakaway couplers and armrest control lever.
Reference the table below for kit options to add a fifth, sixth, or seventh and eighth SCV.
1.9-cm (¾-in.) SCV coupler kit
For greater versatility, producers can replace one 140-L/min (37-gpm) standard flow SCV and 1.3-cm (½-in.) coupler with this 170-L/min (44.9-gpm) high-flow SCV and 1.9-cm (¾-in.) coupler.
1.9-cm (¾-in.) coupler adapter conversion
The conversion design is exclusive to John Deere and converts the couplers on a standard flow SCV from 1.3-cm (½-in.) couplers to 1.9-cm (¾-in.) couplers (with a maximum of 140 L/min [37 gpm]). This kit is ideal for operators with:
This conversion is an economical solution to improve the transfer of hydraulic horsepower from the tractor to the implement.
The seeding hydraulic IPM kit adds three 1.9-cm (¾-in.) hydraulic couplers with 170-L/min (44.9-gpm) high-flow SCVs onto the rear of the machine to supplement the additional hydraulic power and flow consumed by systems running dual fan motors such as the Air Power™ 2 system equipped on John Deere C850 Air Carts.

A field installed hydraulic accumulator kit is used in applications where implements require large volumes of flowing oil for productivity. Such activities include air seeding, scraper applications or implements with multiple or large hydraulic cylinders. This attachment kit will assist the hydraulic system to maintain adequate hydraulic flow under normal operating conditions.
Lift assist wheels are often used with heavy 3-point-hitch-mounted implements. The hitch auxiliary raise kit provides hydraulic power for use with the lift assist wheels. Turning and transport are made easier using this feature.
Attaching implement hydraulic hoses to locations on the tractor other than into an SCV has always been a challenge to know what kits are required for compatibility. Getting them installed in a timely manner can at times be confusing and time consuming.
To assist in making hookup to large planters, seeders, and harvesting equipment where multiple connections are required, there are now factory-installed auxiliary hydraulic couplers on wheel tractors.
For applications requiring low return oil back pressure (10 psi or less), the sump coupler kit allows oil to return directly to reservoir (differential case) from hydraulic motor, bypassing the remote coupler and SCV. When connecting motor case or seal return hose to coupler, make sure hose end and coupler are clean.
This coupler is required for correct attachment to current-production seeding products with case drain lines.
The hydraulic motor return couplers can be used as a coupler for return oil flow, from hydraulic orbital motors and other devices, to the tractor's low-pressure return port, labeled ''R'' on the tractor.
Use of this connector specifically in the return to sump port position is for hydraulic components that require a ''leak-off line'' connection to the tractor. Components and implements that require this typically are larger orbital motors that require a drain for seal protection. The connector in the sump port is not to be used to carry return flow from a function to the tractor.
Power beyond provides live hydraulic power to equipment. This kit supplies oil pressure to implements when the engine is running.
Any implement using power beyond must have a way to control oil flow. Use an independent control valve that is pressure and flow compensating (supplied separately) to control the oil flow rate from this coupler set.
The auxiliary hydraulic optional equipment includes the following:
A - Power beyond couplers
B - Hydraulic motor return couplers
C - Motor seal drain kit
D - Load sense coupler
