John Deere is expanding its portfolio of Self-Propelled Forage Harvesters with the launch of the F8 and F9 Series.
Built for efficiency and packed with tech-forward features, these new machines are designed to boost productivity for livestock producers and custom harvesters. Here's what you need to know.
Designed For Optimal Forage Strategy
For operations focused on preserving nutritional value, the F8 and F9 models deliver. Refined kernel processing and enhanced crop flow support better material handling and feed value.
These harvesters are powered by the new JD18X and JD14 engines, delivering between 625 and 915 horsepower to meet the demands of various field sizes and crop types. The Dura Line™ components ensure consistent chop quality, while the re-engineered flow path improves throughput and efficiency.
Smarter, More Connected Harvesting
With precision built-in, the F8 and F9 Series offer improved performance and easier machine oversight.
An upgraded crop processing system helps meet the needs of high-performing herds. At the same time, JDLink™ connectivity enables wireless data sharing, remote diagnostics, and over-the-air software updates, keeping machines running smoothly from field to field.
Operator-Centered Enhancements
The new cab layout enhances comfort and visibility with a swivel seat that simplifies trailer-filling tasks. Improved lighting makes early morning and nighttime work safer and more efficient.
The integrated ProVision™ camera system provides operators with a clearer view of crop flow and machine activity, reducing errors and downtime. Compatibility with the latest XSeries crop headers adds flexibility across different forage conditions.
Built to Meet Diverse Needs
The F8 Series is tailored for farmers and smaller custom operators seeking reliable, high-performance harvesters without unnecessary bulk.
Meanwhile, the F9 Series is ideal for large-scale operations demanding maximum power and capacity. Both series support a range of headers and attachments, giving users the flexibility to tackle multiple forage crops efficiently.
