Introduction
John Deere 2345F Orchard and Vineyard Tractor
The John Deere 2345F is a specialized tractor designed for orchard and vineyard applications, produced between 1987 and 1990. Manufactured by Goldoni in Italy, this model represents a specific segment of compact, high-maneuverability machinery intended for narrow-row cultivation and specialized agricultural tasks.
Engine and Powerplant
The tractor is powered by a 2.9-liter, 3-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine manufactured by John Deere. It produces 66 horsepower (49.3 kW) at a rated speed of 2300 RPM. The engine features a liquid-cooling system and generates a maximum torque of 180.7 lb-ft at 1500 RPM, providing the necessary pull for orchard implements.

The 2345F is equipped with a synchronized transmission offering 8 forward and 4 reverse gears. An optional 16-speed creeper transmission is available for operations requiring precise, slow-speed control. The machine can be configured in either two-wheel or four-wheel drive, featuring a mechanical rear differential lock to assist with traction in uneven or loose terrain.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system utilizes an open-center design with a standard pump flow of 8.7 gpm (32.9 lpm), with an optional upgrade to 17.4 gpm (65.9 lpm). It includes three rear valves and three mid valves for implement control. The Category IIN/I rear hitch incorporates top-link draft sensing and provides a lift capacity of 3197 lbs (1450 kg) at 24 inches behind the lift point.
Dimensions and Operator Station
Designed for tight spaces, the tractor features a wheelbase of 72.2 inches and a width of 51.7 inches. Ground clearance varies based on configuration, ranging from 9.5 to 17.7 inches depending on the tire setup. The operator station is equipped with a two-post mid-mount folding ROPS as standard, with a quick-mount cab option available for increased operator protection.
