ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS

The John Deere 9RT 470 features a robust 13.6L PowerTech inline 6-cylinder diesel engine with wet-sleeve liners, providing enhanced durability and heat dissipation. Its dual turbocharging with an air-to-air aftercooler optimizes performance at a rated speed of 2100 rpm while adhering to the Final Tier 4 emission standards, making it environmentally compliant. However, the complexity of the emission after-treatment (DOC/SCR) may require more maintenance, posing a potential challenge for operators focused on cost-efficiency.

Displacement 13.6 L/827 cu in.

ENGINE PERFORMANCE

The John Deere 9RT 470 features a robust 470 hp engine with a substantial peak torque of 2169 Nm at 1600 rpm, making it well-suited for heavy-duty tasks like plowing or tilling in challenging soil conditions. The power boost capability of 10% allows for temporary increases in performance, beneficial during peak load scenarios. However, operators should be mindful of the PTO power rating of 329 hp, as it may limit performance when running multiple implements or high-draw attachments simultaneously.

Rated power 346 kW/470 hp
Rated PTO power (hp SAE) 245 kW/329 hp
Power boost 10 percent
Maximum engine power 380 kW/517 hp
Engine peak torque At 1600 rpm: 2169 Nm 1600 lb-ft
PTO torque rise 38 percent

TRANSMISSION

The John Deere 9RT 470 features the e18 18-speed PowerShift transmission with Efficiency Manager, allowing for smooth and efficient power delivery at speeds of up to 40 km/h (25 mph). This transmission provides optimal fuel efficiency and reduced operator fatigue during extended operation. However, it may require a learning curve for operators unfamiliar with multi-speed transmissions, especially in complex field scenarios.
