  • Increase ride comfort during all seasons with 8R suspension options

    8R Tractors offer a variety of suspension options to fit your specific field conditions or application. There are three options to choose from on 8R Tractors. An air seat with fixed cab offers a great balance of field and road comfort in an economical package. Cab suspension with an air seat reduces high-frequency vibrations typically associated with road transport. The ActiveSeat™ II equipment is typically chosen for field applications to reduce vertical movement and operator fatigue.

    • Air seat with fixed cab offers excellent ride quality in a variety of applications
    • Two-post cab suspension with an air seat offers exceptional ride for operators spending time on the road
    • ActiveSeat II greatly reduces vertical motion experienced in field applications
    • Choice of options is available on all 8R Tractors

     

    Independent-Link Suspension (ILS™) primarily helps deliver power to the ground by maintaining proper tire-to-ground contact through a fully independent system. In addition, ILS greatly improves ride over rough or uneven terrain and drastically decreases power hop.
