John Deere 9RX Autonomous
Revealed at CES 2025, the John Deere 9RX Autonomous represents the second generation of John Deere's autonomy platform, built on the 830-horsepower 9RX 830 tracked tractor — one of the most powerful row-crop tractors in production. Sixteen cameras provide 360-degree perception around the machine, using computer-vision technology derived from See & Spray to continuously monitor the operating environment and detect obstacles in real time. The system is initially targeted at large-scale tillage applications where the risk profile is well-understood and GPS field boundaries are already established. John Deere is positioning the platform to address the skilled-operator labour shortage facing large grain farms. Pricing has not been announced by the manufacturer; the system is expected to be available through John Deere's authorised dealer network when it enters commercial availability.
