INCREASE YOUR PRODUCTIVITY

Who says work has to be hard?We take great measures to ensurethat it’s not. John Deere engineers un-derstand that only comfortable, alertoperators can be productive. That’swhy we ensure that operator stationsare comfortable, logical environments.Ride in a CommandView cab andyou’ll discover peace and quiet, easyoperation, a smooth quality ride, unob-structed visibility, good air circulationand room to stretch. And the longeryou’re in the field, the more you’ll ap-preciate having these amenities.

This is no ordinary cab: it’s luxuryoffice space dedicated to keeping youand your operators more productiveover longer periods.

Memory-tilt steering column gives youthe right height, angle and distance todrive. And it remembers its last setting.

Position sensors signal the cylinders to adjustappropriately, compensating for changes in ter-

rain through both short and long strokes.

Constant velocity U-joints on the drive shaftprovide smooth transfer of power while moving

straight or in a full turn.

Massive hinge pins use a robust bearing system to ensure smooth operation and long

lasting performance.

Rugged outer planetary final drives use fourplanet pinions in each carrier. This provides the

exceptional strength to handle increased horsepower,dual-wheel capability and steering torque.

Upper and lower control arms are uniquelydesigned to reduce the pitch and dive of the

front of the tractor during braking and heavy traction.

OUTSTANDING COMMANDARM CONTROLS

Outstanding CommandARM controls –one of the most popular innovationsever put in a tractor is the John DeereCommandARM control module.Farmers around the globe have fondlycommented on how easy it is tooperate a tractor using CommandARMcontrols. They also add how quicklythey get used to the convenience ofhaving close controls.

You’ll be glad to know that the8020 Series tractors feature thismasterful convenience. True fingertiptractor control: Engine throttle, trans-mission shifter, hitch, hydraulics, PTO,IMS and automatic powershift sitvirtually in the palm of your hand. Ittakes considerably less effort toengage your finger than it does toreach across to some distant consolejust to shift the transmission orengage a tractor function. There’s lesseffort finding the controls, so you don’thave to take your eyes off your work.

Hydraulic controls are sized,shaped and spaced to optimisecomfort and control of multiplefunctions simultaneously with onehand.

The electro-hydraulic 3-point hitch controller.

The PTO switch deliverssmooth, modulated start-ups, regardless of theload. A special computercontrolled PTO brake en-sures smooth stops.

You can lift up to 9,700 kg with yourfingertip. Simply engage this quicklift toggle switch and you will raise(or lower) the 3-point hitch to theheight and depth that you pre-set.Headland turns are quick and simple.

The rotary type throttlelever gives you excellentcontrol of engine speed ad-justments.

Push-Button Productivity: Leading IMPLEMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

The John Deere exclusive ImplementManagement System is easy to set,easy to use. To programme IMS, pushthe “on” touch pad. With the tractormoving, press the “learn” touch pad.Engage the sequence button, 1 or 2on the CommandARM module andexecute your tractor commands.

You can programme the hydraulicremotes to extend, retract, float orcancel; raise the 3-point hitch; disen-gage and re-engage the PTO; shift up,shift down or resume the AutomaticPowerShift transmission. You can alsoengage or disengage the MFWD anddifferential lock.

Once the functions are learned,press the “save” touch pad. Now, thetractor will perform all these functionsat the push of a button.

1. In this example, the operator has pro-grammed the IMS sequence switch #1to raise the plough, disengage theMFWD, disengage the differential lockand downshift two gears. As he reach-es the end of the field, he pushes the#1 sequence button.

2. The operator executes his turn withminimal effort. He executes 5 com-mands with the push of a button.For tight turning angles, the driveshafts on both the IndependentLink Suspension and regularMFWD can be programmed todisengage with IMS.

3. After the turn, he pushes the #2IMS sequence switch. The tractorautomatically reverses all the com-mands completed previously: it lowersthe plough, re-engages the MFWD, re-engages the differential lock and shiftsup two gears. During a long day, IMS isa real fatigue fighter that can addhours to your productivity and helpminimise mistakes.

HITCHES AND DRAWBARS

15

With high transport speed, John Deere Active Seat and the exclusive John Deere Inde-pendent Link Suspension front axle, the 8020 Series tractor has all the transport abilityyou need in a versatile tractor. The wagon hitches shown above will keep your trailersand implement attached when at high speed. Two versions (standard and deluxe) areavailable to meet your requirements.

Optional Category 3 Quick coupler frameprovides fast hook-up and high reliabilityfor higher draft applications using the 3-point hitch.

A hydraulic pick-up hitch provides quickand easy hook-up of trailers and tankers.An exchangeable hook and drawbar pro-vides flexibility (option).

Sway blocks, standard mechanical or deluxe mechanical stabilisers, all feature infinitesway adjustment to perfectly match your implement and provide ultimate control whenrolling reversible ploughs for example.

Reliable, powerful and easy on fuel. John Deere 8.1 L POWERTECHengines deliver high torque per-formance to as low as 1000 rpm.When you lug down, torque respondsinstantly, rising quickly to give you thelugging ability to pull you through thetoughest conditions and it doesn’ttaper off. It remains virtually constantto ensure that you get continuouspower to keep you going.

In addition, these muscular machines can generate an additional10% horsepower above and beyondrated power. That’s Extra Power ofnearly 30 horses when and where youneed it most.

What’s more, thanks to our newhigh pressure, common rail fuel system with electronic injection, theseengines meet emission certificationand produce more power than pre-vious models, without sacrificing fueleconomy.

A high-tech, high capacity turbochargerdelivers tremendous air flow to the engine tomaximise efficiency and improve torqueresponse at all engine speeds. Air-to-air after-cooling greatly improves heat exchange andextends engine life.

Heavy duty crankshaft is made from heat-treated, high carbon forged steel for greatstrength and durability. Designed-in torsionalstiffness and heavy, fully machined counterweights produce less vibration and morepower. Plus, a bearing design allows a thickerfilm of oil to reach and lubricate highly loadedareas.

Strong, heat tolerant pistons ensure longlasting reliability even while generatingtremendous power and torque. Plus, the pistonbowl optimises fuel mixing and combustionand helps reduce emissions. Powerful spray-jets ensure excellent lubrication and coolingfrom top to bottom.

The front frame is part of the chassis of thetractor. It supports the front of the tractor andalso acts as an oil reservoir for the engine.With the John Deere Independent LinkSuspension front axle it also combines with the

axle to create a centre of strength andperformance.

The heavy duty, single piece cylinder head,teamed with the large valve ports and domedcombustion chamber, delivers excellent airflow and high torque characteristics.

The specially designed intake manifold letsintake air go directly through the head with theleast resistance. This helps increase air to thecombustion chamber, improves fuel efficiencyand lowers emissions.

The split manifold exhaust expedites exhaustflow to the turbocharger, producing highervelocities, greater torque.

The high capacity water pump takes on the bigcooling demands of high power performancewith great efficiency. The large capacityradiator is positioned well in front of thetractor, away from engine heat and dust,ensuring that the 8020’s keep their cool underall conditions and reducing maintenancerequirements.

New high pressure common rail optimises fueldelivery to ensure faster response to loadvariations.

Automatic engine shutdown. Should anycritical tractor system such as engine oilpressure or coolant temperature reachunacceptable levels while the operator is outof the cab, the tractor shuts down. Ideal forstationary operations.

As the chart shows, John Deere POWERTECH engines are leading the way inperformance. Electronic engine control, pioneered by John Deere, offers theability to reshape engine torque curves to deliver constant power perform-ance across a broad range of engine speeds. Yet, the true test of strengthisn’t what the tractor can do at rated engine power but what it can do underload. And these 8020 Series tractors are bulging with strength. When you lugdown, these tractors can develop as much as 10% Extra Power. This extramuscle is what truly keeps you moving in tough fields and pulling up longhills in transport. And yet, with all this power, while maintaining low emissioncharacteristics, these engines are very fuel efficient. Consider an 8020 Seriestractor to do the big work on your farm.

The John Deere Automatic PowerShifttransmission offers efficiency, comfortableoperation and stepless constant power from2 km/h to 42 km/h with full automation.

Automatic PowerShift does more thanchange speeds for you. It thinks, evaluatesand adapts to the changing conditions andapplications of the tractor.

In a draft application the transmission se-lects the optimum forward speed to keep theengine operating at maximum power forhigher productivity and efficiency. During aPTO application the Automatic PowerShiftadapts to maintain engine speed andtherefore maintains PTO speed, keep-ing implements operating at the correctspeed for highest efficiency and effec-tiveness.

In transport the Automatic PowerShifttransmission teams with the superiortorque of the 8.1 l engine. Allowing en-gine speed to decrease by approximately16% before making a shift provideslower noise, lower fuel consumption andhigher comfort.

AUTOMATIC POWERSHIFT

A torsion damper eliminates torque spikesdue to engine firing frequency. Speciallyformulated rubber compound dampensresonance.

The long tooth gear design with high contactratios maintains strength and reliability, whilehelping reduce noise.

The high capacity, 4WD wet-disc clutch providesrugged, slip free per-formance. The large

disc and separator platesare oil cooled for long life

and outstanding service.

To ensure smooth performance, the majority of speed changes aresingle element shifts requiring only one clutch to engage a gear.

We route most of the oil lines internallyto help reduce the chance of leakage.

Should you ever lose engine power, you still have steering capability.An emergency, ground driven steering pump is integrated into thetransmission to provide full control.

Pressurised oil maintains positivelubrication, even on steep hills and

uneven ground. The transmission gears do notrest in a pool of oil; rather, cooled and filtered oil

circulates through the transmission and clutch packs toensure optimum lubrication efficiency.

Large, inboard planetary final drivesspread the axle load evenly over threepoints, on individual gears and shafts.All gears are designed to provide plentyof strength and load surface area toeasily handle big performance.

The heavy duty casthitch assembly lets youlift and carry 9,700 kg onthe 8320, 8420 and 8520tractors and 8,400 kg on the8120 and 8220 tractors.

Cooled and filtered oil whisks away heatto keep the hydraulically actuated, self adjust-

ing, power wet disc brakes in excellent workingorder. A special friction material is applied to the

discs to reduce chatter and abrasion. The high capacitybrake valves are self equalising to ensure uniform braking for

both wheels. And because these are independent brakes, you can op-erate them together or separately.

The rear housing is a round casting to eliminate stress points. This increases strength for handling additional weight carrying capacity.Pressure lubrication ensures reliable performance and extra long life.

A 26.5 litre clean oil reservoir is located in the top portion of thepump-drive housing. It supplies oil to the tandem pump (chargeand main pump) located on the lower left side of the housing.For extra reliability, an outstanding configuration allows oil tolube the gear set even after shutdown. When the tractor isrestarted, lube oil is already on hand.

Power moves efficiently from the transmission, throughthe pump drive housing and on to the differential.

Industrial type pinion bearings with hardenedthrust washers on each end and a reinforcedcarrier assembly ensure long lasting, peak per-formance.

Shown above is our regular John Deere 4WD axle. Thewheels can caster up to 5° while the axle oscillates up to9° to tighten turns and maintain excellent ground contacton flat land or uneven terrain. Just like the John DeereIndependent Link Suspension front axle, this 4WD axle isproduced and designed by John Deere to deliver excellentcontrol, steering response and total tractor performance.

MFWD & AXLES

1. Integrated debris deflector keepsthings clean.

2. Specially designed kingpin to kingpincastings minimise joints and leakpoints.

3. Rugged axle housing and connectionsincrease strength and help eliminatejoint slip.

Maintaining power to ground, the highclearance 4WD axle provides excellentmanoeuvrability and performance.The integrated drive shaft which isprotected within the tractor chassis,requires no maintenance and has nouniversal joints to maintain.

Automatic or permanent 4WD engagement is accomplished with thehigh capacity 4WD clutch integratedinto the transmission.

Larger tyre capability and a newheavy duty final drive for the 8420model ensure the power is appliedwhere you need it, with effectivenessand reliability.

The robust axles are builtto match the high hitch-liftcapacities. The 8220, 8320and 8420 tractors feature a110 mm rear axle. A 120 mmaxle is standard on the 8420and 8520.

PTO engagementsare modulated for

smooth starts. Thishelps protect your implement

from high torque overloads. Special PTObrake ensures equally smooth, uniformstops.

John Deere4WD wheelrims and discsgreatly reduceroad lope, pro-mote fastertransportspeeds and improve ride quality.Wheels feature our tight fit hole systemwhich centres the wheels to the axle.Fixed centre welded 4WD wheels offerhigh comfort for dedicated transport op-erations that have no need for tread ad-justment offered by the multi positionwheels.

John Deere hy-draulically actuated,

self adjusting powerwet disc brakes provide

sure stopping power. They’reself equalising to ensure uniform per-formance and oil cooled for long life.

Two more reasons to consider anew John Deere 8020 Series tractor.When you command this much power,at the speeds these high performancetractors are capable of, you need asteering and braking system thatwon’t let you down. That’s why wededicate a separate 98 l/min hydraulicpump to serve these importantcomponents.

Brakes: Built-in ReliabilityJohn Deere 8020 Series tractors featurean electro-hydraulically engaged, torquesensitive PTO. Start ups are smooth andrelative to the implement being operat-ed. The wet disc clutch ensures years ofreliable service.

An optional 35 mm 1000/540 rpm reversiblePTO gives your new 8020 Series tractor addedversatility to operate smaller implements. Aspecial collar helps protect the lighter duty540 rpm PTO shaft from unexpected poweroverloads.

Take a look at this page and seejust how truly easy John Deeretractors are to service. Notice thatwe put sight glasses on most fluidcases. We made air, oil and fuel filtersreadily accessible. Our engineers posi-tioned grease nipples in easy to reachplaces (and wherever possible incor-porated convenient “lubed-for-life”bushings and bearings). We locatedfluid fill ports so you could reach themfrom the ground. And we designed inlong hours between service intervals.

Easy servicing is an instant advan-tage of buying a John Deere 8020tractor today. But what about yearsdown the road? What happens when,after several thousand hours of hard labour, you decide your tractorrequires more then simple routineattention?
