DURABLE FRAME, AXLES AND
BRAKES
T9000s are built for the long haul with frame dimensions uniquely matched
to horsepower.
A large-capacity fuel tank is integral with the rear frame to keep
refueling to a minimum — and your productivity to a
maximum. A 1,138 litre fuel tank standard on large-frame
T9000 models, while a 758 litre tank is standard on small-
frame units.
T9000 Series tractors feature capacity-
matched frames based on horsepower. The
row-crop chassis (T9010 and T9020) gives
these tractors true 30-inch row capability.
There is also the larger chassis (T9030 and
T9040) and high-capacity chassis (T9050
and T9060 tractors) versions for heavy-duty
ag and commercial applications. The longer
wheelbase on all frames provides a more
comfortable ride, more balanced weight
distribution for more efficient drawbar pull,
and reduced power-hop.
A unique “center-pull” design allows
T9000 4WDs to deliver power where it
counts — at the drawbar. The drawbar is
mounted near the articulation point at the
center of the tractor, giving T9000 tractors a
better pull angle for more efficient pulling
power to tow wider/heaver implements.
Beefy axles and housings
Regardless of frame size, T9000 axles are
built to handle the rigours of high-torque
loads. Depending on model, bar axle size is
either 102 or 115mm. Massive axle housings
provide structural support, while precision-
ground spiral bevel gear sets offer strength,
durability and quiet operation. Planetary input
gears, bearings and final drives are lubricated
with pressurized, filtered and cooled oil.
Greater traction, braking power
Optional hydraulic differential locks —
one for each axle — lock the left and right
wheels together for improved
traction in slippery conditions. Hydraulically
activated wet disc brakes on front and rear
axles are cooled with filtered oil for better
stopping power than standard dry-type
driveline brakes. A positive, integrated,
spring-applied parking brake engages
automatically when the engine is turned off.
Here’s a closer look at the largest-diameter 4WD wheel tractor
bar axle in the industry — one with the strength and durability
to match the high horsepower and heavy load capability.
Differential locks have independent controls for front and rear
axles.
