The John Deere 980 is a mounted field cultivator designed for pre-seeding soil preparation across large agricultural areas. John Deere manufactures a comprehensive range of farm equipment spanning tractors, harvesters, planters, and soil-working implements for grain and row-crop operations worldwide. This cultivator is engineered to create uniform seedbed conditions that promote seed germination and support crop yield.
The machine operates at a working width of 12.4 metres and is configured as a five-row, five-section implement fitted with a spring-tooth harrow. It requires a tractor with a minimum power output of 300 horsepower. The cultivator achieves a maximum working depth of 127 millimetres, with standard spacing between tines set at 152 millimetres. Each tine—or "foot"—measures 230 millimetres and is engineered to ensure complete coverage across the working zone. Individual tines exert a maximum ground pressure of up to 70 kilograms, and recommended operating speed ranges from 8 to 12 kilometres per hour. The implement features tandem wheels on both the main and outer sections, together with a reinforced drawbar to distribute loads effectively during operation.
A floating hitch system with self-adjusting copying wheels allows the cultivator to maintain consistent working depth across the full cutting width, ensuring even soil treatment and uniform load distribution on the tines. This design is suited to operations covering large acreages where heavy crop residues are present. The machine was imported from the United States and has undergone full pre-sale preparation. It has never been operated in Ukraine. The unit is priced at $21,000 and is located in Ukraine.
