How to Drive New John Deere 8410RX Tractor and Corn Planter

hey guys today I'm gonna give you my point of view from inside the cab driving this brand new John Deere 8rx 410 horsepower model 84 10 Rx and pulling this 1770 16 row 40 foot wide 30 inch spacings brand new John Deere exact emerged planter [Music] I just went ahead and filled this thing full of seed so the first thing we're gonna do is get in start it up and head down the road to our next field all you got to do is give it a flick on the key and she fires up give it a second for the computers to load there we go all right this specific model here has got the e 23 transmission because this is a 410 horsepower model in the lower model the 370 they do make a command Pro which runs a lot like the ivt transmission it's got all the buttons and functions up on here I've never actually driven one but it's similar to the new stick on the new combines so I'll go ahead and put it in forward right now we're in 8th gear 900 rpm we'll get into a little bit more of that later we'll clear this so we can see our normal screen make sure we're good around us still got the planter folded up there which is the way we want it for transport mode down the road and as I'm speeding up I just clicked this forward to click through the gears I'm up in 12 gear now throttle control is right here so I can throttle back to slow down as I pull onto the road I'm going to turn on my beacon and my flashers make sure we're all clear and good to go this machine will go about 26 miles per hour down the road which is plenty fast enough on these narrow Township roads it's got 23 gears so I'm gonna turn in up here start slowing down I just click the stick back a little bit now I'm down into 20 second ear twenty first and I'll start throttling back a little bit before I make my turn in all right once we're in the field here we're into position we're gonna switch over we got to unfold the planter so we go over here and switch the modes so that we can unfold this has a manual or an easy fold option we're going to start the EZ fold and then we can just press and hold the number one cylinder down and it'll put the wing wheels down now it'll drop the the hitch and open up the wings on its own and the whole time I just hold number one hydraulic down and it cycles through on its own and does that we want to keep the planter in neutral here so that the planter can roll back and forth in case it's pulling on it at all that way it keeps things from binding we'll let it run all the way open here and then it should drop the hitch down to where it's level there it goes and now unfolding is complete so done switch over to plant mode it's gonna warn me to keep my SCV's in neutral here and I don't need the marker so I'm not gonna worry about any of that we're in plant mode now and so next things I'm gonna do is start everything up first off I'm going to turn my pto on the pto runs an alternator back there the silver thing you can see it moving around a little bit and then it runs our EPG which is our electric shut offs that turns each row off individually as it comes in to where you've planted before so if you've got boundary setup you can see here on my coverage map anytime it gets to a spot where you don't want it to be planting it will individually shut off each roll unit to control any overlap so that has turned on the pto is running it now we turn on our CCS which pressurizes the tanks they technically won't pressurize till we set it down but there's a little gauge in the middle of the tanks they're a little white gauge that will read out the pressure on the CCS which pressurizes the tanks so that it can blow the seed through those air lines and over to the individual roll units next we'll turn on our left side vacuum and our right side vacuum will move over here and look at the hydraulics so they are in continuous flow and it'll automatically regulate that vacuum pressure I'm going to go to seed star here and fill my brushes and my meters with seed before I start so that they kick in immediately once I get to where they're gonna turn on based on the coverage map now my auto track is here this is the on/off right here I've got the guidance line already set up I was in this field planting already so I just need to make sure my guidance is turned on flip it into gear and then I'm going to go to where we call F 1 on the e 23 transmission and then I can dial in my adjustment so I've got this set so that I'm going 5.6 miles per hour when I hit the head land or the end of the end row here and I'm gonna hit auto to lock on to my auto steer line and it's gonna use the implement guidance the guidance it's got on top of the tractor and the guidance that's got on the planter to line them up and make any Corrections I'm gonna push my number 1 I hit the wrong button okay number one is down throttle up and pretty soon here it'll kick in start planting so now it's planting it maintained as I came into my my field from the head land it kicked into plant it's gonna maintain 5.6 miles per hour as efficiently as it possibly can but I'm gonna bump that up because this planter is capable of running nine 10 11 miles an hour and still maintaining accuracy so I'm gonna go nine miles an hour here because I got a few root clumps to kick out of the way and I'm just more comfortable at 9:00 than I am at 10:00 things are moving you can see our CCS pressure gauge came up our roll cleaners are doing the job they're supposed to they're kicking the residue out of the way we've got to go I'm gonna split these pages flop the screens and come over here and make sure everything looks good so my cingulate right now at 9 miles an hour is ninety nine point four ninety nine five and here's my singulated doubles and skips everything above the line is planting a double or too many seeds which means sometimes it'll plant two seeds at once you don't want that you have you want every seed singulated and perfectly spaced anything below the line means it picked up a skip which means it missed a seed in the sequence so that is planting ninety nine and a half roughly percent perfect right now at nine miles an hour at one hundred and thirty thousand seeds per acre so that bars right here anything above the line is excess of 130 thousand anything below is a reduction of one hundred and thirty thousand but one hundred and thirty thousand is perfect that's right where I want it so it's doing a really good job there and this also shows every single individual roll gauge wheels here I can watch my ground contact to make sure that each row is maintaining consistent ground contact so that it's riding smooth and maintaining a consistent seed depth there you can see Jim back there he's running the roller that levels that field out after I come by to make it a lot nicer for planting I can switch over here I can look at the individual down force on the rows and over here I'm running my connect mobile app which is showing basically just a nice color map for me to look at to see the individual rows how they're singulated and how they're applying downforce I can go through I can look at my seed spacing coefficients coefficient coefficient see of variation I believe that's how you say it variation of cope whatever target population which is all the same here you can look at the actual population planted which I don't have narrowed down very much mostly what I watch on here is the actual applied downforce and my cingulate on this side that's the basics of what we're doing here what we can get into is we can set up we can set up the turn automation on the ends so we've got a boundary laid out in the field and once it gets to the end it'll do everything for me it'll turn the tractor it'll lift up the planter it'll set the planter down it'll grab my guidance line when I go back into it it'll do everything right now I'm going to slow down pick up number one hydraulic and turn you can drag the brakes a little that was kind of a an old-school thing we did that in the old tractors I'm still kind of used to that but I try not to do it because you don't need to this thing turns really sharp and set the planner down you can see it doesn't tear the end rows up too much jim's caught up to us so he's gonna follow us he's not always that close but the other thing I did was grab my guidance line so you can see I'm directly on line with my guidance line I am zero inches off right there if you get off that'll turn red and show you how far off you are right now I'm zeroed so that is good all good things we've got our vacuum gauges here right now I've got them set at 15 pounds they'll do their best to regulate right at 15 pounds it's not like the old ones where you've got to chase that and adjust that as the soil I've got a rock there slow down a little take the pressure off okay so as I was saying the vacuum before as a hydraulic oil warms up and cools down you'll have to kind of chase it with this system it's not like that this system will regulate roughly 15 pounds to maintain your consistent population so now you can see I've got an inlet here for a drain tile I'm coming up on I'm gonna straddle it and watch that I'm gonna slow down so that when I get to it with my planter I can stop and raise I'm gonna just miss it with that tire and I can set right down so we'll have a skip there which is good because we want to be able to see that with the sprayer in the combine the roller as we come through anyway now I'll dial my speed back up and just to show you guys here we'll see if we'll do it I'll dial it up to 10 miles an hour and see if this thing will automatically shift down on the hill here so the transmission is also automatic it was already in a low gear so it's gonna maintain that low gear once I get over the hill our rpms will slow down because it won't be pulling as hard to try and get uphill so it'll slow down and still maintain 10 miles an hour because going uphill takes more horsepower than it does to go on flat or downhill so I'll stick stick with me here there it shifted it shifted on its own so we're running less rpm and it'll do it again once we once we get moving up here basically the transmission is all automatic it's going to maintain the best efficiency it possibly can you can go into the settings here there at downshifted so now we're running a few hundred rpm less than what we were climbing up that hill you can go in here and go to machine settings you can go to transmission and you can get yourself lost here switching between manual custom or full auto you do all kinds of stuff here you can individually turn on and off individual lights if that's the way you want it I prefer to just at night when I hit the work button here everything comes on it's as bright as possible which is really great in in this machine you've got your system management here to manage everything that isn't directly connected to the machine and then you've got different applications here what I'm gonna hope to do later is go in set up some boundaries around this field once I've got a coverage map and I've got all my end rows done I'll set up a new boundary and hopefully set up the turn automation for you guys so you can see that but you can see here I'm running 10 miles an hour 1700 rpm 99.3% cingulate on my ground contacts good my row cleaners maintaining themselves we're just gonna try not to have a high-speed collision here with Jim in the roller all right so I'm gonna slow down as I hit my head lands here click number one up crank it around make sure we're off the property line make sure we're staying tight to where we were before once we're close hit the auto steer line number one cylinder down and I probably ended up I did I ended up with a little gap there I didn't hit down soon enough I am not gonna worry about that little gap I'm gonna pick my speed back up as Jim goes around the swamp there and we'll go back up to ten miles per hour and that's uh that's a full round little over around as we control the planter as we go here we'll continue to show you guys some stuff but everything once I'm turn around it's all automatic my job is to make sure that everything here and here looks good and here you'd like to use that map which I do a lot so making sure everything's running right essentially honestly we're kind of like a an airplane here this thing is auto piloting itself it knows what it's supposed to do I'm here to make sure that it's able to do it all my other controls it's a little cold in here I'm gonna turn my control my heat up a little bit here turn the fan down oh I also have a gentle breeze coming up from below out of my seat that's got a heated seat and a vented seat also I've got a massaging seat it's not all bad over here I've got the refrigerator turned on everything's nice and cold in here speaking to that it's just about lunchtime I've got my pegs here I'll call them Harley pegs but these are pretty nice especially I really like this you can swivel to the side you can look in front of you you can look behind you hello hey hey the 95/60 waking up 3:30 noise oh if I'm going not pulling hard then it doesn't make any noise so it's not the boat a little bit if I go like it sounds like a gas engine to the lifter going it's like a flatter sound it it's like you know what race car songs are gonna come to me taking I do so it's not a hydraulic whine it's in the engine yeah or hopefully it's in a fan or something up there yeah it's my home do you want me to run over there but Tim's coming out okay it's not through your code that's the weird part usually it'll throw a code at you yeah and they're not doing it I mean not even don't even have the bigger in the ground is doing last year it's got a little pressure it's not the crunch in unequipped does it do it at idle ever no man so your oil pressure should be lowest at idle so you almost wouldn't think it'd be a lifter but people do they even have lifters I suppose they don't have hydraulic lifters like a like a racecar I guess is what I'm thinking of yeah they don't have that it was just in ninth year now it's getting easier they push back to 7 Philip I see so anything kim was gonna come all the way is it a transmission thing you think I don't think though I don't really know I don't think it is how long until you're caught up over there um not long let's see here if I look at my coverage map two and a half rounds okay because I didn't I don't think I've got the end good side at all well I've got I know I've got some long runs to the west of here yet that I've got to catch up on oh yeah I think you do yeah yeah well that doesn't sound good but we've got a mechanic coming out to take a look at it right now there really isn't anything that I can probably do so I'm gonna keep the planter moving because this is objective number one to get as much of this going as we can speaking of that I got a speed back up we'll get as much of this as we can done because we've only got about 350 acres left and there's rain coming tomorrow so we're gonna keep moving try to finish up there's a big one ten miles per hour ninety nine and a half percent cingulate 100% gauge wheel contact everything's beautiful I hope you guys enjoyed that thank you again for watching reminder to myself that this is all here because you guys watch these videos I appreciate that so much fun watching me run these machines and also just a heads up I do plan on doing a full complete review on the 8410 Rx to let you guys know exactly just what I think of it from a farmer's perspective alright thank you guys again Milenio farmer out [Music]
