Tractors "John Deere" (John Deere) - Design and specifications. John Deere tractors - machines with huge productivity John Deere description
The modern John Deere catalog includes tractors of medium and high power. These are 6B and 6M, 8R, 9R, 9RX series. Equipped with diesel engines of our own production, with a capacity from 95 to 570 horse power, transmission of a verified design and reliable chassis, these agricultural tractors are indispensable helpers both in large agricultural holdings and in ordinary peasant farms.
A universal tractor is the first thing that any owner of a modern peasant farm needs. These are the multifunctional tractors capable of handling any agricultural work that John Deere is trying to produce. Optimal power for an economy of one size or another, unpretentiousness, ease of use - these are the main criteria by which, in addition to universality, this manufacturer is guided.
John Deere are four-wheel drive tractors with front axle disengagement to improve fuel efficiency. It should be noted that the three numbers located in the index of each tractor model indicate the maximum power of its engine (in horsepower). For example, 6095B, \u200b\u200b6110B and 6135B are 6B series John Deere tractors with diesel power of 95, 110 and 135 hp. respectively.
Proven that you don't have to be big to be great. This advertising motto is used to produce compact and maneuverable wheeled tractors “John Deere” of the 6B family. As of 2018, it includes three models: 6095V, 6110V and 6135V... All of them are equipped with a unified panoramic glass cab with excellent visibility, efficient heater and air conditioning; modern economical diesel engines of the "PowerTech" series: "PowerTech E" and "PowerTech M"
Tractors of the 6B series are offered to potential buyers in the "Standard" and "Premium" variants, they can be equipped with certain additional options, according to the wishes of the customer. All models are equipped with a spacious diesel fuel tank (220 liters), which ensures long-term operation without refueling.
There are various options for ballasting with additional loads of tractors of the 6B family, for their flexibility: it is necessary to improve the adhesion of the wheels to the ground - use ballast; improve fuel efficiency - work without it.
These tractors are distinguished by exceptional ease of maintenance, which is achieved by a special tilt system of the elements of the agricultural machine, to facilitate access to units and parts.
Diesel engines "PowerTech" for the 6B series - four-cylinder, in-line, working volume 4.5 liters, with wet sleeves and 2 valves in the head. These 110 and 135 horsepower PowerTech E engines are equipped with the Common Rail electronic injection system, and the 95-horsepower PowerTech M diesel engine for the John Deere-6095B tractor uses the "good old" injection pump - rotary mechanical high pressure fuel pump. 95% of the torque is achieved at 1100 rpm and maximum power at 1900 rpm.
PowerTech M PTO torque reserve is 24%, PTO power jump - 1.5%; in "PowerTech E" - 35 percent power reserve, 5% jump in PTO power. The cooling system is a fixed geometry turbocharger with an air-to-air cooler. The cylinder diameter is 106.5 mm; piston stroke - 127 mm.
Transmission options
Synchronized transmissions of tractors of the series have two rows of gears (high / low), which allows, if necessary, increase productivity up to 15%. For example, when working with heavy towed equipment. There is no loss of tractive effort at the moment of shifting.
There are two transmission options:
- "Top Shift" - 12 forward and 4 reverse gears;
- PowerReverser - 24 forward and 12 reverse gears.
The hydraulic system is modern and powerful, with the ability to install up to five selective control valves, a Power Beyond system and an engine return line kit. This provides a rear linkage lifting capacity of up to 5.4 tons, which is sufficient for the use of any trailed and attachments in this class.
With a short wheelbase, small turning / turning radius, powerful chassis, excellent stability, the 6B series tractors are excellent for work as a front loader. There are ready-made solutions for this: equipment for front loading "John Deere-562" and "John Deere-563".
The length of the wheelbase of the tractors is: 6095B - 2310 mm, 6110B and 6135B - 2560 mm. For greater maneuverability (for example, for use as a front loader), it is worth taking a tractor with a shortened wheelbase. And for a greater degree of grip with the ground - with an elongated one.
The total length / width / height of the 6B series tractors is, respectively: 6095B - 4235/2220/2730 mm, 6110B and 6135B - 4415/2220/2830 mm.
In order to provide the required track width, additional equipment is used in tractors of the 6B series - front and rear axle hub expanders. There is a power take-off shaft at the rear. This is a PTO for 540/1000 rpm, with 6.8 or 21 splines.
Tractor weight (without ballasting weights): 6095V - 4200 kg, 6110V - 4290 kg and 6135V - 4520 kg. Maximum permissible weight: 6095V - 6200 kg, 6110V - 6800 kg and 6135V - 8000 kg.
Tire size (in brackets - their diameter in centimeters): 6095В - 320 / 85R24 (117) front axle, 420 / 85R34 (160) rear axle; 6110V and 6135V - 380 / 85R24 (128) front axle, 420 / 85R38 (170) rear axle.
Since 2012, the company has been actively promoting another series of compact universal wheeled tractors. They are distinguished by richer and more versatile equipment than tractors of the 6B series, and, of course, an extended power range. Other features of these tractors include a unique full-frame design, TLS independent suspension, high-performance hydraulic system, and a wide range of transmissions. Tractors of the 6M series are produced in the German division of the John Deere corporation - at the John Deere plant in Mannheim.

Axles and suspension
TLS (Triple Link Suspension) independent suspension provides optimum traction and performance in the field. It provides up to 7 percent more effort than a rigid axle tractor. The TLS suspension automatically adapts to changing load and traction conditions.
The front differential of the front axle is self-locking, the locking of the rear axle is activated by an electro-hydraulic drive. The rear axle is flanged.
6M series tractors are equipped with a high-performance hydraulic systemrear linkage with the same geometry as the Premium R Series tractors and delivering the same impressive horsepower and lift capacity. The hydraulic system of the 6M family tractors is equipped with progressive pressure and flow compensation (PFC) and operates at a capacity of up to 114 liters per minute. With the appropriate load. As soon as the need for such a powerful flow disappears, the hydraulic system returns to the most optimal operating mode. This contributes to the efficient use of diesel fuel and the productivity of the implements, as well as the response of the steering system.
Up to four rear selective check valves are provided. It is also possible to install a simpler and cheaper hydraulic system - with pressure compensation (PC), with a constant flow of 80 l / min.
The tractors of this series, like the next two, already belong to the class of high-power energy-intensive tractors. These are universal row-crop wheeled tractors, which are designed to perform energy-intensive technological operations in crop production, fodder production, care for row crops, as well as for a full range of transport and loading operations.
In addition, they can be used in both wheel (R) and crawler (RT) versions - with the installation of the appropriate additional equipment. John Deere 8RT Series Crawler Tractors deliver even greater productivity gains. It is possible to start earlier and finish later in fields with very wet and viscous soil, or on steep slopes. 8RT tractors provide enhanced performance and comfort equal to that of the 8R, with minimal compaction of the top fertile soil layer.
Tractors in this series include independent front axle suspension (ILS) with ActiveSeat, cab suspension and advanced ActiveCommand Steering (ACS) steering system. The 8R / 8RT tractors are equipped with the quietest cab in their class, with a noise level of only 69 dB.
On russian market five 8R tractor models presented - 8295 R, 8320 R, 8335 R, 8345 R, 8370 R... And also - three crawler models (8RT) - 8320 RT, 8345RT, 8370RT... The assembly of several models of the 8R family is organized at the John Deere plant in Russia (Domodedovo).

The power rating of any of the engine modifications can be seen in the factory index of each model: 8270R - 270 horsepower, and so on. The capacity of the tank for diesel fuel is: in wheeled tractors 8R - 681 liters, on tracked tractors 8RТ - 758 liters.
Transmission. Bridges
There are several transmission options for potential buyers to choose from. This is a 16-speed "PowerShift" transmission; more "advanced" 23-speed transmission "E23"; continuously variable transmission "AutoPowr".
Automatic transmission control mode is used in transport and field work, and allows you to reduce fuel consumption, increase flexibility, productivity and reduce overloading of the power unit. Programming is carried out for the maximum gear corresponding to the working speed of the agricultural machine, or the transport speed. When the load on the tractor changes or when the engine speed decreases, the gears are automatically switched within the programmed range.
Tractors of the 8R series are equipped with a front driving axle "MFWD-1500", which is hinged to the tractor frame. This drive axle can be fitted with dual front wheels. The rear axle on 8R-series machines can have an axle for the installation of single rear wheels - 2438 mm long; and an axle for the installation of double rear wheels - its length is 3002 mm. The axle diameter is 120 mm.
The powerful hydraulic system is equipped with six rear selective control valves (SCVs) and ample lifting capacity to handle all kinds of work. The volume of the selected oil is 90 liters.
The hydraulic system of the 8R family tractors is based on the principle of a load-sensing system - based on a variable pump. The main hydraulic pump with a capacity of 161 l / min provides a high rate of transfer of the oil flow to external consumers. To work with dump trailers and agricultural vehicles equipped with hydraulic drives, which require ultra-high efficiency from the tractor hydraulic system, a pump with an increased productivity of 227 liters per minute is installed (this is an additional option).
To work with agricultural machines and accessories with active working bodies, the 8R tractor is equipped with a rear power take-off shaft with a revolving shank with a diameter of 35 mm and the number of splines 6 and 21. And also with a shank with a diameter of 45 mm with the number of splines 20. The rear PTO has standard operating modes at 540 or 1000 rpm. The use of one or another PTO shank is selected depending on the required power consumed by the agricultural machine. For example, 6-spline shank is used for machines up to 75 hp, 21-spline shank - up to 150 hp. and 20 splined shank - over 150 horsepower.
A series of powerful, energy-rich tractors John Deere 9R / 9RТ was also introduced to the market in 2012, like the previous ones, as part of the renewal and systematization of the company's products. It replaced the previous 9030 series, produced since 2007. This family includes four wheel models ( 9420 R, 9470 R, 9520 R, 9570 R), and three tracked versions ( 9470 RT, 9520RT, 9570RT).
Compared to the previous series, the 9R / 9RТ tractors have been upgraded in terms of engine power, hydraulics, linkage and PTO; with a more comfortable cab and improved controls.

The fuel tank holds, depending on the version of the tractor, 1,173, 1,514 or 1,324 liters of diesel fuel.
Tractors of this series are equipped as standard with an 18-speed E18 transmission with an "Efficiency Manager", plus six reverse gears.
The Efficiency Manager system allows the operator to precisely control the speed (on all models - up to 40 km / h), allowing it to be set for field or transport operations, for which it is enough to simply change the speed using the wheel on the gear lever. There are three control modes available: fully automatic, semi-automatic and manual.
If the operator wishes to switch to manual control, the automatic PowerShift feature can be disabled using the CommandCenter touchscreen display or the lever on the CommandARM console.
John Deere 9R / 9RT Series tractors provide the power you need to tackle any task, even the toughest. Up to eight Selective Control Valves (SCVs) are available, providing astonishing 435 l / min flow rates to drive wide-reach planters at reduced engine speeds.
The maximum flow of the hydraulic pump is 220 liters as standard, 435 liters as an option. Controlling the hydraulic system is convenient and simple thanks to the intuitive controls on the display, using the keys on the CommandARM console or optionally the joystick. All models are optionally equipped with a PTO shaft with a rotation speed of 1000 rpm.

Deere & Company is a multinational engineering corporation headquartered in Moline, Illinois, USA. Produces agricultural, industrial, logging tractors, trailed and attached equipment for them; harvesters; construction, landscape gardening, snow removal equipment. As for agricultural machinery, it is the largest manufacturer in the world.
The company was named after its founder (in 1837, an American blacksmith and inventor opened his business in Moline, and in the future - an industrialist - John Deere). During the 19th and early 20th centuries, Deere & Company produced steel plows, cultivators, seeders and other agricultural equipment.
The first John Deere tractor was assembled in 1918, after the purchase of the Waterloo Tractor Plant by the firm. Soon it was tractors for agriculture that for a long time, one might say "forever", became the main specialization of the corporation. The traditional green and yellow colors of the Deer technique have long been well known throughout the world.
The company has old ties with our country. The first delivery of John Deere agricultural equipment to Russia was carried out back in 1880. The specialists of the company have established trade and with new Russia: in the period 1923-1932, the RSFSR purchased several thousand tractors of this brand annually. In our time, assembly plants for tractors and combines "John Deere" were opened in the Moscow and Orenburg regions, and the chairman of the board of directors and executive director of the company Samuel Allen in 2010 personally met with Vladimir Putin.
Not only assembly plants, but also full-cycle factories belonging to Deer & Company operate all over the world: in the USA and Canada, European countries, India and, of course, China. "North American distribution center" "Deere & Company", which is located in Rock Island, Illinois, this gigantic warehouse of products, stretches over an area of \u200b\u200b246 thousand square meters and is located on the 4th list of the largest buildings and structures on the planet (by their area directly on earth).
Tractors "John Deere-8430" were produced from 2005 to 2009, as part of the 8030th series of energy-rich universal row-crop tractors. This series included four models: 8230 - 250 hp; 8330 - 280 HP; 8340 - 305 HP and 8530 - 330 hp. Currently, they have been replaced by a new generation of powerful "Deer" tractors - the 8R series. It includes heavy tractors of the 8270R, 8295R, 8320R, 8335R, 8345R, 8370R models, also differing in engine power, and their tracked versions of the RT.

The design of the John Deere-8430 tractor provides for two types of gearboxes: Automatic Power Shift - an automatic step-by-step manual transmission; "Auto Power" is an automatic infinitely variable hydrostatic-mechanical gearbox. Both transmission options allow the operator to move away smoothly and reach maximum speed without using the clutch at all.
The first version, a 16-speed transmission, was developed by John Deere specialists on the basis of the Power Shift system that appeared in 1994. With built-in electronics and closed-loop gear shifting, gear shifting is smooth.
This gearbox has sufficient strength to function under sharp and high-torque loads, while maintaining the speed of response to the control action and the reliability of gear shifting. With a decrease in engine power or changes in the load on the tractor, gear shifting occurs in automatic mode, within the selected range. In total - 16 forward and 5 reverse gears.
The infinitely variable Auto Power transmission, unlike the first version of the gearbox, was not included in the standard configuration of the John Deere-8430 tractor and was offered as an additional option. The operator only needs to select the required speed in the range from 0 to 42 km / h. (1.8 - 17 km / h - for reverse). Gear changes are easy and smooth.
There is a special “Power Zero” function designed to keep the tractor in place in the event of braking on a slope. This version of the gearbox has a positive effect on the throughput of the machine, due to its instant response to changing loads. It operates in four modes - manual, PTO, high traction and low traction control, economical transport mode. However, this transmission is very expensive and complex in design.
Tractors "John Deere-8430" are equipped with an independent lever-articulated suspension "ILS", automatically adjustable. The independent ILS front axle suspension maximizes power transfer to the ground for consistently high performance, even when working on very uneven terrain. Suspension system - hydro-pneumatic, constant action, automatic leveling, automatic load compensation and active traction geometry efforts for three-point attachments.
The rear axle on the 8030 series can have an axle with a length of 2438 mm. For the installation of single rear wheels on the rear axle of the tractor, an axle of 2438 mm is provided, and for the installation of double wheels - an axle with a length of 3002 mm.
The front steering axle is also the driving axle. Torque is supplied to front-wheel drive at all gearbox speeds in the following three modes:
- forced connection;
- automatic - when changing the parameters of the roadway;
- braking optimization - activated when both brake pedals are depressed.
Used tires in sizes "800/70 R38" and "600/70 R30".
The brakes on this tractor are multi-disc. They work separately on the rear wheels, and are mounted on the shaft axis between the differential and the final drive of the bead. They are hydraulically controlled, duplication is via a mechanical drive.
The hydraulic system of the John Deere 8430 tractors is equipped with a load sensing system based on a variable pump. Thanks to a new hydraulic pump with a capacity of 161 l / min, a high rate of transfer of oil flows to the equipment is ensured. Hydraulics type - closed center, PFC.

About John Deere
John Deere is a major American manufacturer and supplier of special purpose vehicles. The company has almost two centuries of history.
Of course, John Gere did not create a tractor immediately (in historical sources, the spelling of the surname "Gere" is sometimes found). His firm began in 1837, when Illinois blacksmith John Deere, in response to complaints from farmers about not having a good plow for heavy prairie soil, forged his own, which did an excellent job. A year later, the blacksmith became an industrialist and began his production. In 1842 he had already made a hundred plows.
By 1948, Deer formed a partnership and moved to Mississippi. There, his plant soon doubled its production. In 1876 the company registered its own trademark.
Since then, John Deere has come a long and difficult way from a local manufacturer of harrows and plows to a major global developer and seller of special equipment for various purposes.
Interesting: the demonstration of the John Deere tractor to NS Khrushchev during his visit to the United States stimulated the development of his own machine in the USSR.
