Southern Alberta Canada | We have a 9400 and an 8970, I think other than the transmission, axles and engines on smaller tractors they are totally redesigned. The newer series use load sensing hydraulics, John Deere finally gave up on that goofy steering system on the older series, cab, body and frame are completely different, I don't think the newer series were available with cable operated remotes were they?
The 8970 has allot of electrical bugs that the 9400 has not had yet.
The 8970 shares hydraulic oil with the axles whereas the 9400 shares transmission oil with the axles, both systems are haywire in my opinion but that being said they both work. The hydraulic reservoir is a little small on the 9400.
They both have that goofy rubber coupler at the back of the engine, I'm thinking of upgrading to Versatile type spring coupler the next time they fail.
I prefer the 9400 over the 8970 as it's a quite a bit nicer to service and operate but they both are decent quality tractors if you take care of them. | |
