PowerTech PSS 13.5L (824 cu. in.) engine
John Deere has engineered the PowerTech PSS 13.5L (824 cu. in.) engine to meet the high expectations for fuel economy and performance that operators expect.
Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) is an exhaust filter option that reduces NOx emissions. SCR technology increases in cylinder combustion temperatures to reduce particulate matter (PM) output but as a result of these higher combustion temperatures, it increases the NOx (smog) emission levels. To keep the NOx levels within acceptable standards, a urea-based additive, sometimes referred to as AdBlue® system or diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) is added into the exhaust stream to low NOx emission downstream of the engine. The urea mixes with engine exhaust gases in the catalytic converter. The resulting reaction of adding urea (NH3) (or purified fertilizer) into the exhaust stream and passing through a catalyst transforms the NOx which results in harmless nitrogen gas and water vapor.
Series turbochargers
Series turbocharging delivers higher power density, improved low-speed torque, and improved high-altitude operation. By splitting the compression of the charge air between two turbochargers, both can operate at peak efficiency and at slower rotating speeds. This lowers stress on turbocharger components and improves durability.
Series turbocharging works when fresh air is drawn into the low-pressure turbocharger (fixed geometry), where air pressure is boosted. This pressurized or boosted air is then drawn into the high-pressure turbocharger (VGT or WGT), where air intake pressure is further raised. The high-pressure air is then routed to an air-to-air aftercooler, where the air is cooled and routed to the engine’s intake manifold.
Series turbochargers
The PowerTech PSS 13.5L (824 cu. in.) utilizes two turbochargers – a variable geometry turbocharger (VGT) and a fixed geometry turbocharger, providing the torque rise and engine responsiveness to meet varying load conditions.
Fresh air is first drawn into the low-pressure fixed geometry turbocharger and compressed to a higher pressure. The compressed air is then drawn into the high-pressure VGT where the air is further compressed. The compressed air is then routed to the charge air cooler, and then to the intake manifold. By splitting the work between two turbochargers, both can operate at peak efficiency and at a slower rotating speed.
VGT
The VGT is electronically controlled and hydraulically actuates the turbo vanes as required to maintain peak engine performance.
VGT vanes in exhaust flowThe turbocharger’s vanes are in the exhaust flow. The opening or closing of the vanes changes the outlet volume and airflow speed against the turbocharger impeller. When exhaust flow is low, the vanes are partially closed. This partial closure increases the pressure against the turbine blades to make the turbine spin faster and generate more boost pressure. The ability to keep the airflow flowing at optimum levels provides more consistent engine boost pressure and the ability to respond to load quickly across the entire engine rpm range. This system is without turbo lag as can be found on some engines. Boost pressure in the intake manifold is controlled at its optimum point for added fuel economy and performance regardless of rpm or load.
The overall benefits:
Air-to-air aftercooling
Air-to-air aftercooling lowers the intake manifold air temperature and provides more efficient cooling while reducing cylinder firing pressure and temperatures for greater engine reliability. Since low temperature air is denser, a higher volume of air flows into cylinders so the engine is capable of meeting the increasing horsepower demands.
Electronic unit injectorElectronic unit fuel injection system on the 13.5 L (824 cu. in.) engine provides the following benefits:
This engine control unit uses signal inputs from sensors and pre-programmed performance modeling to control critical engine functions such as fuel quantity, injection timing, air-to-fuel ratio, multiple fuel injections, amount of cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), and a host of other control parameters to deliver peak fuel economy and engine performance.
Each injector is controlled individually by the ECU. The ECU turns the injector on and off during each firing cycle to control the fuel delivery into each cylinder. The ECU can sense engine speed and load changes at a rate of 100 times per second and respond instantly to them. Load and speed sensing allows each cylinder’s fuel delivery rate to be adjusted independently at the individual injector. With each injection cycle, the ECU can make the following adjustments on the go:
This management system is connected to the transmission allowing the engine and transmission to respond simultaneously.
Cold weather and high altitude compensation are also precisely controlled for quality starts regardless of weather and proper power levels at high elevations.
Noise reduction
The injection system also contributes to the engine running at a decreased noise level by a process called pilot injection. The precise fuel injection capabilities allow a small amount of fuel to be injected early in the combustion process. This helps lessen the combustion knock that is commonly heard on many diesel engines. While the combustion noise reduction is most obvious at lower engine speed, pilot injection continues to function at any engine speed.
The electronic control unit monitors various sensor inputs from the tractor and automatically changes the sheave ratio to change the fan speed. Hydraulic oil pressure is directed to the pistons that push the top inner sheave out (A), to close the gap and create a larger working diameter.
The bottom sheave (B) responds by compressing the coil spring, widening the gap between the two sheave halves, and creating a smaller working diameter to increase the fan speed.
To slow the fan, the valve opens, allowing oil to leave the piston, widening the upper sheave halves.
Automatic shutdown function
This feature monitors engine coolant temperature, engine oil pressure, and transmission oil pressures while the transmission is in the park position, and the operator is out of the seat. If any of the systems reach undesirable levels, the tractor will shut down, to help prevent further tractor damage.

9R cooling packageThe Vari-Cool fan drive system precisely controls the speed of the fan in relation to the cooling requirements to maximize efficiency of the engine. The Vari-Cool system is efficient for two primary reasons:
Vari-Cool is integrated into the hood design
The Vari-Cool system is an integrated part of the hood design. Intake and outflow of air from the coolers is diverted to key openings in the hood structure. The design allows for airflow dispersion that lessens dust and crop kick-up by discharging the airflow away from the cab.
How Vari-Cool works
This electrohydraulic system uses variable speed drives. Actual fan speed is determined by the ratio differences of the top fan drive sheave to the bottom sheave.

Efficiency Manager thumbwheel
Efficiency Manager switchWhat is it?
Efficiency Manager allows for IVT™-like operation on the 18-speed PowerShift transmission. With Efficiency Manager engaged, the operator no longer has to manage the engine revolutions per minutes (rpm) and gear selection for the most efficient level of operation possible. Efficiency Manager does that automatically by shifting up and throttling back depending on the load on the tractor.
How does it work?
With the tractor sitting still, in neutral, or once the tractor is in motion, the operator simply pushes either the F1 or F2 switch on the CommandARM™ to activate the feature. Once Efficiency Manager is activated, the operator can set and adjust the desired ground speed by using the thumbwheel on the shift lever. An icon and the desired ground speed will appear on the corner post display once Efficiency Manager is activated.
The operator can program two ground speeds by pushing either the F1 or F2 switch. The F1 setting will typically be set for field work while the F2 setting will be used for field/road transport. F1 can be set at any speed from 2 mph (3.2 km/h) to 12.6 (20.3 km/h) mph, and F2 can be set at any speed from 2 mph (3.2 km/h) to 25 mph (40 km/h).
Can it be managed by the operator?
By navigating through the CommandCenter™, the operator can adjust the rpm shift points while operating in custom mode. The operator can set it to automatic or custom. In automatic mode, the tractor will predict the optimum shift points under load to maintain the highest level of performance and operation. Custom mode allows the operator to adjust how high or low he/she would like the engine rpm to pull down before shifting under load. See the operator’s manual for more information.
Operation example:
If a customer is operating a 9R, equipped with the 18-speed PowerShift transmission, on a grain cart he/she could set F1 to the same speed as the combine for an unload, on the go scenario. Once the combine is empty and the 9R operator is ready to unload the grain from the cart onto the truck, he/she could push the F2 switch (already set at a higher transport speed) to get them to the truck quicker.
NOTE: Efficiency Manager is not recommended during for use during high draft load applications. We do not recommend the use of EM during the cut cycle in scraper applications. Efficiency Manager is recommended during the transport cycle of scraper applications.

Hitch controls
Field-installed 3–point hitch controls under armrest on CommandARMTo help boost productivity, a field-installed kit with 3-point hitch controls can be purchased. If this option is selected, control buttons will be located on the 9 Family Tractor’s CommmandARM to access individual hitch settings. There are three buttons — set, lock, and load depth. There is also a rotary encoder that allows for finite movements of the hitch. The rotary encoder is detented, so it clicks for each movement. Additionally, hitch adjustment controls are located under the CommandARM for raise/lower rate.
Hitch load depth
The load depth feature is a useful tool designed to increase performance in tillage applications. Load depth adjustments allow the operator to make adjustments to hitch draft responsiveness.
Draft control helps maintain the operating depth in varying conditions, such as rolling terrain, and varying soil densities.
An additional feature with load depth control is the hitch slip option. Hitch slip uses wheel slip data to supplement the draft control system. If the wheels slip, the 3-point hitch lifts to allow the tractor wheels to maintain traction with the ground. Once the slip condition is no longer present, the hitch lowers to the required depth as determined by the hitch command and load depth settings.
Both of these hitch command options are easily programmable in the CommandCenter display by pressing the load depth shortcut key, followed by using the thumbwheel and confirm key to dial in the desired settings.
3-point hitch switch on fender of 9RFor added operator convenience, a 3-point hitch remote control switch is located on top of the left rear fender for 9R, 9RT, and 9RX Tractors. The external remote switches enable the operator to raise and lower the 3-point hitch from behind the tractor while hooking to implements.
Selective control valve (SCV) stackOptional high-flow hydraulics are available on 9 Family Tractors by ordering code 3270. The high-flow hydraulic system provides an additional 215 L/min (57 gpm) of flow for a total of 435 L/min (115 gpm). This system is ideal for hydraulic fan motor demands. This system is recommended for agricultural implements with continuous flow requirements. When maximum hydraulic pump capacity is reached, multiple functions will continue to operate at the same proportional flow rate.
The 9 Family Ag High-Flow Tractors have two parallel hydraulic systems. The benefit of this system is that functions can be split between the two systems. Functions that require high flow and low pressure can be combined on one system (for example, air seeder fans, and planter motors). Functions that require high pressure and low-flow can be connected to the remaining system (for example, implement lift, fold, and constant down-pressure systems).
Following these guidelines allows the hydraulic system to run cooler as it prevents both hydraulic pumps from running at high pressure. In general, pumps forced to run at both high pressure and high flows generate much more heat than a pump running at a lower flow or lower pressure.
The system operates with two hydraulic pumps:
Five 1.3-cm (1/2-in.) couplers (A) and three 1.9-cm (3/4-in.) couplers (B)For applications requiring continuous high hydraulic flow or multiple 1.9-cm (3/4-in.) hydraulic connections, this SCV stack is designed to maximize efficiency of the hydraulic system while providing additional flow using 1.9-cm (3/4-in.) couplers. Arrangement of the 1.9-cm (3/4-in.) couplers are split between the tractor’s dual hydraulic pumps to even the hydraulic load on each pump. Increasing coupler size from 1.3 cm (1/2 in.) to 1.9 cm (3/4 in.) allows an additional 26.5 L/min (7 gpm) or 17 percent more hydraulic flow through each coupler and reduces backpressure for hydraulic functions such as dual fan motors associated with the Air Power™ 2 system equipped on John Deere C850 Air Carts. With three 1.9-cm (3/4-in.) couplers available, operators can connect to other high-demand functions such as raise/lower. The 1.9-cm (3/4-in.) couplers also allow higher fan motor speeds for high-rate applications and allow more power to the ground due to less restriction on the hydraulic system.
NOTE: This SCV configuration is available on all double-reduction) axle 9420R to 9570R Tractors with high-flow hydraulics and all 9RX Tractors with high-flow hydraulics. This eight-section SCV stack does not include hydraulic Intelligent Power Management (IPM) software.
SCV couplersConnections to 1.3-cm (1/2-in.) and 1.9-cm (3/4-in.) couplers are quick and simple for operators with a split SCV stack configuration at a comfortable connection height.

The e18 transmission delivers smooth shifting and intuitive controls in a reliable 18-speed PowerShift transmission. The e18 transmission with enhanced Efficiency Manager is standard equipment on all 9 Family Tractors.
The e18 has evolved from more than 50 years of John Deere PowerShift technology. With more automatic features, the e18 is easy to operate for all levels of operators and operations. It features three modes of operation, full AUTO, custom, and manual modes. Full AUTO and custom modes manage the engine and transmission to match the desired ground speed to the field conditions. These two modes are ideal for most conditions and take the guess work out of operation. Manual mode is perfect for operators looking to operate the e18 like a traditional PowerShift by bump shifting and managing the engine throttle to their liking.
As the next generation of PowerShift technology, the e18 delivers the strength to handle sudden, high-torque power loads while maintaining responsive, quick, and smooth shifts.
Shift lever and hand throttle
254-mm (10-in.) Generation 4 CommandCenterThe CommandCenter is the central information system for tractors and allows the operator to program various settings tailored to a specific operation.
To access the tractor’s transmission settings, press the transmission shortcut button on the CommandCenter shortcut bar.
CommandCenter transmission shortcut buttonOperating modes
The e18 application settings employ three modes to take full advantage of the engine-transmission communication: Full AUTO mode, custom mode, and manual mode.
Full AUTO main pageFull AUTO mode manages the tractor’s engine and transmission inputs to reach and maintain the desired ground speed set by the operator. This means the tractor will manage shifts and engine rpm to operate at the most efficient level possible. Operators have the ability to set the maximum forward and reverse speeds for their particular applications. In full AUTO mode the operator can adjust the desired ground speed in two ways, by conducting a traditional bump shift or by rotating the dial on the thumb wheel.
When shifting in full AUTO mode, the transmission shifts set speeds and does not always shift gears, meaning the transmission may not necessarily shift gears if it can reach the desired ground speed with a slightly higher or lower engine rpm. Efficiency Manager is automatically engaged while operating in full AUTO mode. As a result, shifting will not take the tractor out of Efficiency Manager in full AUTO mode.
e18 custom transmission pageCustom mode operates similar to full AUTO mode but allows operators to adjust operating parameters to meet a specific operation. It also has the ability to activate eco mode for a higher level of operation.
Eco button
Display screenEco allows two minimum engine speeds to be set. Operators can turn eco on and off by either pushing the eco button on the side of the throttle or by selecting eco in the transmission settings page of the CommandCenter controls. For example, operators may choose to turn eco on during transport to utilize a lower minimum engine speed and then turn eco off while operating in the field where a higher minimum engine speed is desired.
Set speed buttons and set speed adjusterEfficiency Manager is automatically enabled in auto and custom modes. Efficiency Manager can be turned on in manual mode by selecting the set speed one or set speed two button on the CommandARM™ console. The set speed adjuster on the top of the single-lever gear selector allows the operator to dial in the desired ground speed to establish set speed one or two. Once engaged, Efficiency Manager will manage the engine rpm and gear selection to maintain the desired working speed. To reach the desired set speed, the throttle must be set to full engine rpm.
Custom settings pageIn the advanced settings page, operators can customize the auto shift engine speed droop as a percentage of the full engine speed. In addition, the load anticipation feature can be enabled for the hitch engagement, hydraulic engagement, or both.
Manual mode
Manual mode operates very similarly to a traditional PowerShift transmission with Efficiency Manager.
In manual mode the operator manages the engine and transmission inputs by controlling the shift lever and hand throttle.
Manual mode page
e18 operationSetting start-up gears
The 9 Family Tractors default to 7F and 2R at start up. However, these default start-up gears can be adjusted from 1-13F and 1-3R through the CommandCenter. Refer to the operator’s manual for additional information.

ISO 11783 location in R-Series Tractor cab
RE322780 ISO cab implement CAN bus adapterThe ISO cab implement controller area network (CAN) bus adapter is available to connect any ISO compliant implement or device to an 8R, 8RT, 9R, 9RT, 9RX (including Scraper Special) Series Tractor. These connectors are commonly used for planter frame control boxes.
Refer to the operator's manual, sections 16 (CommandCenter™) and 25 (Operator Station), for additional information on ISO implements.
NOTE: If the harness is not in use, unplug it from the ISO 11783 location or plug the 4-pin connectors together on the harness. If neither of these are done, implement CAN communication errors will occur.
Dual-beam radar emission horns 
Dual-beam radar (tracks tractor shown)
Shield for dual radar beamIn today’s agricultural environment, accuracy and precision are more important than ever. For something as basic as ground speed, operators need key information for precise control of various implements and the tractor. To support these needs, tractors can be ordered with a dual-beam radar unit as a factory- or field-installed option.
There are several key features that have changed from previous designs.
First, there are two horns for exit of the radio beam. This dual-beam design assures a powerful and accurate signal that will cut through interference that at times makes single-beam units inaccurate. (See 1 in the image above for beam locations.) Dual-beam output makes radar less susceptible to hard surface or tall/wavy grass interference.
Accuracy is aided by a heavy-gauge mounting bracket and rubber isolators that reduce chances that vibration can affect the radio signal.
Dual-beam radar has a fast update rate. When the tractor comes to a stop, accelerates, or varies speed, the indicated ground speed on the tractor display will closely match the actual ground speed. This is important for implements that use radar speed to control operation such as planters, seeders, fertilizer applicators, and sprayers.
In addition, the dual-beam radar does not require calibration to assure accuracy. Its self-calibrating ability is sure to save setup time by elimination of a special procedure that was required in the past.
The radar true ground speed sensor activates the following CommandCenterTM display or performance monitor readouts:
Radar usage improves the accuracy of the following CommandCenter or performance monitor functions:
Dual-beam units are compatible with controller area network (CAN) bus and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) bus electrical systems.

Idler weightsFront idler weights allow for increased ballasting opportunities on 9030 Series Track Tractors. Front idler weights allow for more weight to be distributed across the front idlers to help offset weight that is on the rear of the tractor.
For implements that require high hydraulic flow, 19-mm (3/4-in.) couplers are available in two configurations.
A single 19-mm (3/4-in.) selective control valve (SCV) coupler is available as a field-installed attachment for dual-pump, 435-L/min (115-gpm) hydraulic systems.
19-mm (3/4-in.) couplerHydraulic Intelligent Power Management (IPM) with three 19-mm (3/4-in.) and five 12.7-mm (1/2-in.) SCV couplers are available as a factory- or field-installed attachment on 9620R and 9620RX Tractors equipped with dual-pump, 435-L/min (115-gpm) hydraulic systems.
Color-coded SCVs
SCV kit for high-flow hydraulic systemsAdd the functionality of two additional rear SCV controls for high-flow hydraulic systems. This kit allows the tractor to be configured with up to eight SCVs (two stacks of four SCV blocks). Also order parts are required to configure the operator station with touch controls as well as software.
Five remote SCVsThe field-installed electronic SCV kits are made available for tractors needing additional SCVs. These kits provide metered flow rates and timed detents with pressure and load sense compensation. The additional SCV(s) can also be integrated into the Headland Management System.
The field-installed kit includes International Organization for Standardization (ISO) lever-assisted breakaway couplers and armrest control lever.
Auxiliary hitch lift assist kit
Auxiliary hitch lift assistLift assist wheels are often used with heavy 3-point-hitch-mounted implements. The hitch auxiliary raise kit provides hydraulic power for use with the lift assist wheels. Turning and transport are made easier using this feature.
48-gpm SCV stack on a 9020 Series Tractor
78-gpm SCV stack on a 9020 Series TractorAttaching implement hydraulic hoses to locations on the tractor other than into an SCV has always been a challenge to know what kits are required for compatibility. Getting them installed in a timely manner can at times be confusing and time consuming.
To assist in making hookup to large planters, seeders, and harvesting equipment where multiple connections are required, there are now factory-installed auxiliary hydraulic couplers on wheel tractors.
For applications requiring low return oil back pressure (10 psi or less), the sump coupler kit allows oil to return directly to reservoir (differential case) from hydraulic motor, bypassing the remote coupler and SCV. When connecting motor case or seal return hose to coupler, make sure hose end and coupler are clean.
This coupler is required for correct attachment to current-production seeding products with case drain lines.
The hydraulic motor return couplers can be used as a coupler for return oil flow, from hydraulic orbital motors and other devices, to the tractor's low-pressure return port, labeled ''R'' on the tractor.
Use of this connector specifically in the return to sump port position is for hydraulic components that require a ''leak-off line'' connection to the tractor. Components and implements that require this typically are larger orbital motors that require a drain for seal protection. The connector in the sump port is not to be used to carry return flow from a function to the tractor.
Power beyond provides live hydraulic power to equipment. This kit supplies oil pressure to implements when the engine is running.
Any implement using power beyond must have a way to control oil flow. Use an independent control valve that is pressure and flow compensating (supplied separately) to control the oil flow rate from this coupler set.
The auxiliary hydraulic optional equipment includes the following:
A - Power beyond couplers
B - Hydraulic motor return couplers
C - Motor seal drain kit
D - Load sense coupler

Getting them installed in a timely manner can at times be confusing and time consuming.
To assist in making hookup to large planters, seeders, and harvesting equipment where multiple connections are required, there are now factory-installed auxiliary hydraulic couplers on wheel tractors.
For applications requiring low return oil back pressure (10 psi or less), the sump coupler kit allows oil to return directly to reservoir (differential case) from hydraulic motor, bypassing the remote coupler and SCV. When connecting motor case or seal return hose to coupler, make sure hose end and coupler are clean.
This coupler is required for correct attachment to current-production seeding products with case drain lines.
The hydraulic motor return couplers can be used as a coupler for return oil flow, from hydraulic orbital motors and other devices, to the tractor's low-pressure return port, labeled ''R'' on the tractor.
Use of this connector specifically in the return to sump port position is for hydraulic components that require a ''leak-off line'' connection to the tractor. Components and implements that require this typically are larger orbital motors that require a drain for seal protection. The connector in the sump port is not to be used to carry return flow from a function to the tractor.
Power beyond provides live hydraulic power to equipment. This kit supplies oil pressure to implements when the engine is running.
Any implement using power beyond must have a way to control oil flow. Use an independent control valve that is pressure and flow compensating (supplied separately) to control the oil flow rate from this coupler set.
The auxiliary hydraulic optional equipment includes the following:
A - Power beyond couplers
B - Hydraulic motor return couplers
C - Motor seal drain kit
D - Load sense coupler
