The John Deere 980 Cultivator is a pre-planting, field-mounted soil preparation machine designed for full-width cultivation. John Deere is a major manufacturer of agricultural equipment serving global farming operations across multiple scales and crop types. This cultivator is engineered to work with tractors in the 250–300 horsepower range and is built to handle demanding tillage work in varied soil conditions.
The machine features an 11-meter working width, making it suitable for medium to large-scale field operations. It is configured with three sections and five rows of tines, each with tandem wheels mounted on the main and outer frames for load distribution and stability. The implement is equipped with a tooth harrow system featuring five rows to further refine soil structure after tine action. Standard spacing between tines is 152 millimeters, and the harrow delivers adjustable downforce of up to 70 kilograms per tine. Maximum working depth is 127 millimeters. The recommended operating speed is 8–12.8 kilometers per hour.
This example was imported directly from the United States and has never been put to work in Ukraine. The frame is unwelded, straight, and free from tears. The original John Deere paint finish is in good condition. Tires are in serviceable condition. The hydraulic system is fully functional. The tines show only minor wear, and the mounting standards are in good condition with no play. All components are original factory-manufactured John Deere parts. The cultivator is mechanically ready for field deployment. Minor work may be needed in the form of hydraulic cylinder seal kits, replacement of some hydraulic hoses, and possible re-bushing of standard mounts. It is offered as-is in 2003 condition. New roller systems of Ukrainian manufacture can be fitted if desired.
