John Deere presented new products and innovations at Casa John Deere 2026. The company focuses on automation, connectivity, and operational efficiency. The portfolio covers planting, spraying, and harvesting.

For large-scale operations, the package combines the new 8R tractor series with the 3100FT and DB transportable planters, as well as the 400R sprayer series. For smaller properties, the line includes the 5M tractor family, the 3041E tractor, and the 1025E sprayers. The package also incorporates the S4, which will become part of the line of intelligent combine harvesters launched in 2025.

8R Series Tractors

The company highlights high-horsepower tractors from the 8R series, launched in the United States in February (read more hereThe 440, 490, and 540 models deliver up to 634 hp, according to the company.

John Deere highlights the onboard technology that automatically delivers extra power during heavy-duty operations. The goal is to maintain a constant work pace under high load. The brand also points to a 13,6-liter engine focused on efficiency and an electric transmission, the EVT, capable of supplying power directly to the planter and eliminating the need for external generators.

This design brings the tractor closer to a mobile power center. It doesn't just pull the implement; it powers the system. The proposal responds to an agriculture where every hectare demands mechanical precision and electronic stability.

According to the company, the cab has been reconfigured for comfort and features precision systems to ensure connectivity and efficiency during long workdays. With this, John Deere positions the 8R series as a key component combining power, automation, and data integration in planting.

Other tractors

John Deere also showcased the 5M tractor line. The family includes four models, with 85, 95, 105, and 120 hp.

The new series uses a John Deere PowerTech four-cylinder electronic engine. According to the company, the engine delivers high performance, reliability, high torque, and quick responses for different agricultural operations and crops.

The 5M tractors feature two types of transmission, both developed specifically for this line. John Deere claims that the system increases efficiency and productivity in the field. The high lifting capacity also allows the use of heavier implements, which expands the machine's versatility.

The 3041E tractor is designed for producers seeking low operating costs and high performance, according to John Deere. Equipped with a turbo intercooler engine, the model combines a good power-to-torque ratio with balanced fuel consumption.

Its compact dimensions and reduced turning radius allow for agile operation in tight areas, reducing the need for maneuvering. Furthermore, compatibility with front loaders expands its applications in daily farm operations, making the 3041E a practical and complete solution for multiple operations, from soil preparation and spraying to general farm activities.

Seeding

The DB transportable planter reduces preparation time for transport by more than 90%. The system reaches a width of 3,2 m in about two hours. The solution allows for rapid movement between areas. According to the company, the solution cuts preparation time for transport between farms by more than 90%.

The 1200 FT line expands options for small and medium-sized farms. The machines operate with between 12 and 17 rows. The design ensures precision on uneven terrain and facilitates transport.

Spraying

In the spraying industry, the 430R, 440R, and 400R ND models, manufactured in Catalão, have undergone structural renovation. The 400R series features engines up to 300 hp and booms up to 40 m. The machines operate at speeds up to 40 km/h. The system reduces refueling time by 10%. Operational adjustments are reduced by up to 50%.

The 400R sprayer also incorporates automatic track width adjustment with memory, the CommandDrive, which automates and optimizes driving. And the JDLink Boost, a satellite connectivity solution for areas with low coverage. According to John Deere, CommandDrive can generate up to 7% fuel savings.

The See & Spray system applies pesticides only to weeds. The technology generates an average savings of 50%. The potential reaches 93%. The system increases the success rate by up to 18%.

In turn, the 1025E sprayer is an option for properties that require extreme stability, greater ramp capacity on sloping terrain, and ease of maneuverability in delicate crops. John Deere states that the model confirms that properties of different sizes can access high performance and input savings. 

Harvest

Manufactured in Horizontina, the CR corn platform comes in versions with 12 to 27 rows and integrates with recent John Deere harvesters, such as the S5, S7, and X9. According to John Deere, the platform automates the opening of the separating plates in real time. The system eliminates the need for constant manual adjustments and aims to ensure that the ears of corn are separated precisely and arrive intact at the harvester, adapting to variations in the field. The machine also automates the speed of the platform's rear axle, synchronizing its operation with the harvester's movement to maintain a constant flow of material.

In turn, the S4 combine harvester is another new product from John Deere. It expands the line of intelligent machines. The equipment caters to various crops. The machine improves grain quality and reduces losses (see more by clicking here).
