The 8000 series was replaced in 1999 by models with 10 more numbers. The engines had more power and torque. Compared to the nominal power ratings, 10% additional power was promised. By advertising the power figures in this way, an impressive 45% increase in torque was achieved. Among the new three-letter features, Automatic PowrShift (APS) automatically changed the powershift gear ratio based on factors such as engine speed and throttle position. The Implement Management System (IMS) was a memory system that could automate up to 12 consecutive operations, for example, at the headland. Hitch Slip Command (HSC) was a radar-based slip control system. The ComfortCommand seat had improved suspension and upholstery. The CommandARM armrest with its small control levers remained unchanged.

Hydraulic output was increased. The flow rates and flow times (1-19 seconds) set for each Selective Control Valve (SCV) section could be read from the TouchSet system’s digital display. The lift equipment now had oscillation damping. The tractor’s electro-hydraulics were developed to ensure smoother starts and braking. The new automatic power cut-off function aimed to prevent damage by detecting problems in the actuators, such as the alternator or pumps.

In other words, compared to its predecessor, the 8010 series offered many new fine features inside the old shells. Except for the increase in power, the technical specifications, including weights, remained the same.
