Technology

About

The John Deere eAutoPowr is a revolutionary electromechanical transmission technology designed for high-performance tractors, particularly the 8R Series. It replaces traditional hydraulic components with electric motor-generators, offering seamless shifting and reduced noise levels. This transmission provides infinitely variable speed control, enhancing the tractor's efficiency and ride comfort. The eAutoPowr is designed to be highly durable and reliable, with over 100,000 test hours ensuring its robustness. The eAutoPowr technology also allows for electric off-boarding, providing up to 100 kW of power for external implements. This feature, combined with partnerships like Joskin's electric axle drive, enables increased traction and reduced soil compaction by using lighter tractors for larger loads. It enhances productivity by allowing wider tools and reducing wheel slip, which improves forage quality and yield. The transmission's maintenance-free design simplifies its operation and reduces diagnostic needs, making it a significant advancement in large-scale farming technology.
