John Deere 9030 Series - Manual (Page 10)

Greater traction. Greater
flotation. And now you also
get improved operator comfort
and faster operating speeds
with a new 9030T Series Track
Tractor. Choose from three
models ranging from 425 to 530
rated horsepower.
The revolutionary new
AirCushion Suspension
system isolates the track
undercarriage from the tractor
frame. This provides you with a
super-smooth ride and allows for
fast field and transport speeds.
Other enhancements include
a rugged single-piece frame, a
new track-alignment system, and
a new drive-wheel pattern that
helps reduce slippage and in-
crease track tension.
Plus, the wheelbase is
also five percent longer than
previous models.
All of these improvements
help improve ease of operation,
durability, and productivity.
A new 60-degree drive wheel
pattern (right) grips the track belt
more efficiently, reducing slippage
for better performance.
A new toolbox is built into the platform (left) for easy access and for storage of
tools, chains, or other equipment.
New track-alignment mechanism (right)
makes adjustments easier and improves belt tracking.
Two track-width
options are available
for 9030T Series Track
Tractors. Choose from a
30- or 36-inch-wide
belt. Severe-duty
versions are also avail-
able.
(1) New mid rollers are 1.25 inches wider than previous models to help
reduce slippage and increase belt tension.
(2) Twin nitrogen accumula-
tors and a larger tensioning cylinder increase track belt tension by 20
percent.
(3) New guide lugs are 36 percent larger than previous
models. These improvements help reduce track belt wear and improve
tractor performance on steep hillside applications.
