Introduction
John Deere 2351 Utility Tractor
The John Deere 2351 is a utility tractor produced in Nigel, South Africa, between 1987 and 1993. It belongs to the 2000 series and was designed for general agricultural tasks, offering a balance of mechanical simplicity and operational versatility.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 3.9-liter (235.6 cubic inch) 4-cylinder diesel engine, which is liquid-cooled to maintain thermal efficiency. It delivers 73.7 hp (55.0 kW) at a rated speed of 2300 RPM. The engine configuration uses a bore and stroke of 98 x 127 mm, providing consistent power output for standard farm implements.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The 2351 model features a gear-type transmission providing 8 forward and 4 reverse gears. It is available in both two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive configurations, allowing the operator to select the appropriate traction level for specific field conditions. Steering is facilitated by a hydrostatic power system to reduce operator effort.
Hydraulics and PTO
Equipped with an independent rear power take-off (PTO), the tractor operates at a standard speed of 540 RPM. This independent system allows the operator to engage or disengage the PTO without affecting the tractor's movement, which is essential for efficient work with various driven attachments.
Electrical System and Operator Environment
The electrical system operates on 12 volts, supported by an alternator for battery charging. The operator station is of the open type, designed for visibility and ease of access. For safety, a two-post Roll-Gard Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) was available as an optional feature.
