Improved Selection Control Valve (SCV) configurations
SCV stack SCV stack

Beginning with model year 2024, 7, 8 and 9 Series tractors will feature a new SCV stack to improve performance and aftermarket serviceability. The change will further enable customers to fine-tune hydraulic flow rates and more precisely adjust the flow. This change will make it easier and more affordable to customize an SCV stack by switching coupler sizes because previously it would’ve been done by changing an entire SCV slice.

Reactive steering provides an automotive-like experience
7R driving on roadway 7R driving on roadway

Is your 7R tractor the “Road Warrior” of your operation? If so, then Reactive Steering is for you.  Adopted from the automotive industry, Reactive Steering brings a balanced feeling to the steering wheel much like your automobile.

The load-reactive steering valve uses hydraulic inputs from both the left and right steering cylinders. When pressures increase on one side (during a turn, for instance) the valve provides feedback to the steering wheel to help assist the steering wheel back to center.

On straightaways, Reactive Steering reduces hand movements by helping the operator to maintain a center line.  During internal testing, hand movements are reduced by as much as 44 percent during straight line driving.

Do you find it challenging to navigate roundabouts, intersections, or curvy back roads? Then Reactive Steering is a game changer. As you rotate the steering wheel to complete your turn, simply relax your grip on the wheel and notice how the steering wheel of your 7R returns to center.

7R performing transport work 7R performing transport work

Relieve the stress from transport jobs like towing tankers, trailers, and dump wagons for long hours. Reactive steering provides a balanced, automotive feeling to your 7R. Have confidence that your operators can perform transport jobs day after day with less fatigue.

Taking your 7R off-road? No problem. Reactive Steering works great in the field too. However, if you prefer to operate with traditional steering, a toggle button on the display puts the steering mode into traditional hydraulic steering for that familiar feel in the field. Operators always have the option to enable or disable Reactive Steering from the display.

AutoTrac™ Integration

Reactive Steering is not available while AutoTrac is engaged.

When an operator engages AutoTrac, Reactive Steering is automatically disabled. Once AutoTrac is disengaged, the steering mode will resume the previous state that was selected by the operator.

In addition, Reactive Steering is disabled when the tractor is placed into reverse. Once the tractor is placed into forward direction, the steering mode will resume the previous state that was selected by the operator.

Visibility is more than just lighting. It’s mirrors where you need them, shades for the blinding late-fall and early-spring sun, wipers to help keep all the glass clear, and integrated camera capability. The 7 and 8 Series Tractors let you choose the visibility package that best suits your needs – Select, Premium, or Ultimate with 360-degree light-emitting diode (LED) lighting –so you and your operators can run with all-conditions confidence.

Maximize versatility with front hitch options that fit a variety of applications
7 Series with front hitch 7 Series with front hitch

The 7R Tractors offer two front hitch options to best fit a variety of applications.

Standard (non-ground-engaging) hitch option for applications including, but not limited to:

  • Front-mounted mowers, toppers, and snow blowers
  • Carrying front seed hoppers and plow packers
  • Carrying front ballast
  • Operating light-draft implements

Premium (ground-engaging) hitch option for applications including, but not limited to:

  • Operating primary tillage equipment and standard blades 

Premium hitches include a push bar and heavier lift arms:

  • Hitches with zero front auxiliary valves include one mid-mount valve.
  • Hitches with one front auxiliary valve include two mid-mount valves.
  • Hitches with two front auxiliary valves include three mid-mount valves.

To ensure adequate hydraulic availability, up to two selective control valves (SCVs) can be included with a front hitch.

Joystick control Joystick control
Paddle pot SCV Paddle pot SCV

Tractors equipped with a factory front hitch have the option of selecting a joystick control or paddle pot SCV controls. The joystick control is not compatible with the sixth rear electrohydraulic SCV because of the CommandARM™ controls space required for the front hitch joystick.
