John Deere Unveils Model Year 2025 Equipment at 2024 Commodity Classic

The 2024 Commodity Classic in Houston, TX, proved to be an exciting one for John Deere fans. The company announced its 2025 model year additions for the agricultural sector, officially overtaking the competition in available horsepower. Two Castongia Tractor employees were in attendance to get the first look at the 9RX tractor, S7 Series combine, and See and Spray™ technology on Hagie sprayers. 

New 9RX High Horsepower Tractor

In the world of articulated tractors, a new leader has emerged. The 2025 John Deere 9RX High Horsepower models offer the latest in technology and power. The new 18-liter engine meets emissions standards while omitting the diesel particulate filter (DPF) and the need for diesel exhaust fluid (DEF). The exhaust-gas recirculation technology allows this to be an option, resulting in time and cost savings for farmers at this scale. 

The largest model clocks in at a whopping 830 horsepower, which is ideal for large acreage and heavy fieldwork. When we move from the engine to the cab, operators will find increased comfortability with 15% more floor space and 20% more right-side visibility.

These beastly machines have an advanced technology package that includes the G5 Display and the StarFire 7500 receiver. Packages can be upgraded to include the G5 Advanced technology with SF-RTK for optimal connectivity and precision capabilities.

New S7 Series Combines

Although the High Horsepower 9RX stole the show for many, John Deere also announced a new lineup of combine harvesters featuring many similarities to the renowned X9, especially when looking at the in-cab design. 

The S7 Series is available as an S7 600, 700, 800, or 900 model. The lower-level models boast a 9L engine and the two higher-level models feature a 13.6L engine. The S7 900 has a max 617 horsepower while the S7 600 has max 382 horses. 

If you’re a technology enthusiast, you’ll notice that the Ultimate Technology package includes Predictive Ground Speed Automation, which utilizes cab-mounted cameras to detect the upcoming crop volume to adjust the combine’s ground speed before entering those crop areas. This adaptive technology will assist operators with machine adjustments to maintain the highest possible crop yield, feed rates, and overall efficiency. 

These two product releases only scratch the surface of what will be available from John Deere in 2025.
