Introduction
John Deere 30A Orchard and Vineyard Tractor
The John Deere 30A is a specialized compact tractor designed for orchard and vineyard applications. Manufactured by Goldini in Italy, this model was produced between 2005 and 2010 to meet the requirements of narrow-row farming and specialized agricultural tasks.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a Lombardini 9LD 626/2 diesel engine. This 2-cylinder, air-cooled unit has a displacement of 1.2 liters (76.2 cubic inches) and produces 25 horsepower (18.6 kW) at a rated speed of 2800 RPM. It delivers a peak torque of 49.4 lb-ft (67.0 Nm) at 2000 RPM, providing consistent pulling power for implements in confined spaces.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The drivetrain features a mechanical transmission offering 6 forward and 3 reverse gears. Power is transferred through a mechanical dry disc clutch. The tractor is equipped with a four-wheel drive system, which enhances traction and stability when operating on uneven or soft terrain typical of orchards and vineyards.
Electrical and Safety Systems
The electrical system operates on 12 volts, utilizing an alternator for battery charging and an electric starter for reliable engine ignition. For operator protection, the machine is fitted with a two-post, mid-mount folding Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS), which allows for reduced clearance height when required.
Conclusion
The John Deere 30A serves as a reliable solution for specialized agricultural environments requiring a compact footprint and high maneuverability. Its combination of an air-cooled diesel engine and four-wheel drive capability makes it suitable for professional orchard and vineyard management.
