New pivot bushing design

Overview

The HSD Series features a new cast pivot design, as well as an increased frame tube size. This results in the field finish and residue management you’re used to, now backed by a three-year frame warranty.

Benefits

• Three-year warranty on frame components
• Larger, individually serviceable cast pivot joints at hitch, wing, and rear attachment frames increase uptime
  • Bushing can be serviced by removing 12 bolts and replacing pivot bushing
• Larger frame tubes increase life of frame and weight per blade

Autonomous 8R 410 and 2660VT in the field

Technology should be simple to maximize full potential, autonomy shouldn’t be different. With autonomous farming solutions on the horizon, many customers are wondering what they should do to ensure the tillage equipment they are purchasing today will be READY to operate autonomously.

Autonomy Ready includes known and available integrated components, allowing customers to save time and money when adding the fully autonomous tillage solution hardware. The components included from the factory are:

• Implement lights
• Receiver mast
• Implement receiver harness

Please reference the chart below for model availability.

Universal StarFire™ 7500 receiver will need to be purchased separately for autonomous tillage operation.

As John Deere continues to develop the fully autonomous solution, additional requirements will be required. For the most up to date information on autonomy and additional key enablers, please visit the John Deere Autonomous Tillage Launch Center or John Deere Autonomy homepage. For more information on Autonomy Ready Large Tractors, please visit the Large Tractor Sales Manual.

Additional details

HSD Series machine

The HSD Series gives operators the ability to cover acres quickly, increasing their productivity. This two-season tool can operate up to 22.5 km/h (14 mph) in field.

This tool is available in seven configurations from 7.70 m to 13.79 m (25 ft to 45 ft). The HSD Series requires 34.25 kW/m (15 hp/ft), but in certain hilly, soft, or wet conditions it may require an additional 25 percent engine horsepower to maintain operating speeds at preferred working depth.

HSD Series models

*NOTE: Minimum overlap of 15.2 cm (6 in.).

Individually mounted blades

Rubber torsion elements

HSD Series features individually mounted blades. These blades, supported by rubber torsion elements, can travel up to 22.9 cm (9 in.) while passing over an obstruction, like a rock. This allows the rest of the tool to remain engaged and continue working, allowing for better ground contour.

Keep the tool engaged while passing over obstructions

To also follow ground contour, wings flex to stay engaged on hilly or terraced ground.

Wings follow the ground contour

Blades are also easy to replace. Rather than having to remove an entire gang, just replace an individual blade.
