Introduction
John Deere 9560RT Agricultural Crawler Tractor
The John Deere 9560RT is a high-horsepower agricultural crawler tractor manufactured in Waterloo, Iowa, between 2012 and 2014. It belongs to the 9R/9RT series, designed to provide high tractive effort for large-scale farming operations.
Engine and Powerplant
The tractor is powered by the John Deere PowerTech PSX engine, a 13.5-liter, liquid-cooled, 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel unit. It features 24 valves and an emission control system utilizing exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) to meet Interim Tier 4 standards. The engine delivers a rated gross power of 560 hp (417.6 kW) and a net power of 538 hp (401.2 kW), operating at a rated speed of 2100 RPM.
Transmission and Drive
Power is transmitted via a John Deere PowerShift transmission, offering 18 forward and 6 reverse gears. The system employs hydraulic wet disc clutches for gear engagement. The tractor utilizes a crawler drive system with 30-inch tracks, steered by a hydrostatic power differential, which allows for precise maneuverability despite the machine's size and weight.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system is a closed-center, pressure-flow compensated design, operating at a pressure of 2900 psi (200 bar). Standard pump flow is 48 gpm, with an optional high-flow configuration reaching 78 gpm. The rear hitch is a Category 4N/4 type with electronic draft sensing, capable of a 15,300 lbs (6940 kg) lift capacity. A Category 5 wide-swing drawbar is standard equipment.
Operator Environment
The 9560RT is equipped with the CommandView II cab as standard, which includes integrated air-conditioning. This environment is engineered to provide visibility and ergonomic control for long operational hours in heavy-duty agricultural settings.
Conclusion
The John Deere 9560RT is a specialized machine engineered for heavy-duty primary tillage and high-capacity traction tasks. Its crawler design and high hydraulic output make it well-suited for large-scale operations requiring consistent performance on difficult terrain.
