Introduction

John Deere 2305 Sub-Compact Utility Tractor

The John Deere 2305 is a sub-compact utility tractor manufactured in Augusta, Georgia, between 2005 and 2010. Designed for versatility in property maintenance and small-scale agricultural tasks, it features a robust chassis and a liquid-cooled diesel engine.

Engine and Performance

The tractor is powered by a 1.1-liter, 3-cylinder liquid-cooled engine. It delivers a gross rated power of 24.1 hp (18.0 kW) at 3000 RPM. With a peak torque of 41.7 lb-ft at 3000 RPM, it provides sufficient power for light tillage and mowing applications. The engine utilizes a dual dry element air cleaner to ensure longevity in dusty operating conditions.

Transmission and Drive

The 2305 is equipped with a two-range hydrostatic transmission, operated via two foot pedals for forward and reverse motion. This setup allows for infinite speed control within each range. It features a standard four-wheel drive system for enhanced traction, supported by wet disc brakes and power steering for improved maneuverability.

Hydraulics and PTO

The hydraulic system is of an open-center type with a total pump flow of 5.2 gpm (19.7 lpm) and a system pressure of 1987 psi. It includes two valves for implement control. The tractor provides an independent 540 RPM rear PTO and a 2100 RPM mid-PTO, allowing for the concurrent use of various mid-mount mowers and rear-mounted implements.

Hitch and Dimensions

The rear hitch is a Category I limited three-point hitch, capable of lifting 1433 lbs (650 kg) at the ends, or 681 lbs (308 kg) at a distance of 24 inches from the lift points. With a wheelbase of 57.1 inches and a total width of 44.9 inches, the machine is designed to navigate confined spaces effectively.

Conclusion

The John Deere 2305 serves as a capable sub-compact tractor for homeowners and landscaping professionals. Its combination of hydrostatic transmission, four-wheel drive, and dual independent PTOs makes it a reliable choice for varied tasks, including mowing, light grading, and general utility work.
