John Deere just unveiled the new 8R540 and 8RX540 tractors—delivering up to 540 HP with the JD14 engine, autonomy‑ready tech, and the power of a 9 Series in the maneuverability of an 8 Series. They also introduced major planter upgrades, including ExactShot, an in‑furrow fertilizer system that targets nutrients directly onto the seed and can cut fertilizer use by up to 66%. More power. Smarter inputs. Bigger results. #JohnDeere #CommodityClassic2026 #8R540 #ExactShot #PrecisionAg | James River E
