This leads to getting more done in a shorter time window while also maximizing your agronomic advantage.<br><br>*Based on a customer test in Northwest Iowa comparing an 8R 410 with a 10,000 gallon GEA tanker to an 8R 540 with a 14 row 35 foot width 14,500 gallon Nuhn tanker with a 3,000 gpm power take-off (PTO) driven solution pump. Both ran at similar engine loads and application rates. The 8R 540 covered 39.4 acres \/ hour vs. the 8R 410 which covered 26.5 acres \/ hour. This means the 8R 540 was 49 percent more productive which equates to 30 percent less time in the field.&nbsp;<\/p><br \/><br \/><br \/><\/p>\n<p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1046\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"6\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1046\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\"><p>Stay grounded<\/p>\n<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1046\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"6\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1046\"><p><\/p>\n<p><br \/><div class=\"seccion-images\"><\/div>\n  <p>With even larger implements being pulled behind the 8R 440-540 tractors the central tire inflation system (CTIS) is becoming even more valuable for customers. For example, when pulling a DB90 there can be a difference of 20 psi between the suggested transport tire pressures and field tire pressures.* What makes this so impactful is that studies** show a tractor planting with 20 psi less in their tires can see a boost of 4.5 bushels per acre. Because of this CTIS allows customers to maximize the profitability of every acre they cover.<br><br>*Pressures are based off the suggested rear tire PSI for an 8R 540 with duals hooked up to a DB90 while in transport which is 26.1 psi vs a suggested field psi for that setup of 5.8 psi.<br><br>** Practical Traction Knowledge: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ntstiresupply.com\/ptk-shared\/lower-tire-pressure-higher-yields-results-from-a-three-year-research-study\">Lower Tire Pressure, Higher Yields: Results from a Three-Year Research Study | PTK<\/a><\/p><br \/><br \/><br \/><\/p>\n<p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1047\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"7\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1047\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\"><p>Customize your drive<\/p>\n<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1047\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"7\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1047\"><p><\/p>\n<p><br \/><div class=\"seccion-images\">\n   <div>\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/salesmanual.deere.com\/customer\/sales\/salesmanual\/images\/NA\/tractors\/features_attachment\/8_series\/r4k088459_8r_540_cab_300x450.jpg\" alt=\"Customized your drive\"><span class=\"caption\">Customized your drive<\/span>\n   <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n  <p>Experience the most personalized workday yet with the latest enhancements to your John Deere operator experience, featuring customizable options designed to boost efficiency and in-cab comfort.
