Introduction
John Deere 3155 Utility Tractor
The John Deere 3155 is a utility tractor manufactured in Mannheim, Germany, between 1988 and 1992. Designed for versatile agricultural operations, this model integrates a 105 hp powertrain within a robust chassis intended for demanding field work.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a liquid-cooled, 6-cylinder John Deere diesel engine with a displacement of 359 cubic inches (5.9 liters). It operates at a rated speed of 2400 RPM and features a compression ratio of 17.8:1. Air intake is managed by a dual paper element filtration system, and the cooling system holds 17.0 liters of coolant.
Transmission and Drivetrain
Two transmission configurations were available: a partially synchronized Top-Shaft-Synchronized (TSS) unit offering 8 forward and 4 reverse gears, and a TSS Hi-Lo partial power shift version providing 16 forward and 8 reverse gears. The Hi-Lo variant allows for gear changes under load without the use of the clutch. The machine is equipped with four-wheel drive and power steering to ensure maneuverability.
Hydraulics and PTO
The 3155 utilizes a closed-center hydraulic system with a pump flow capacity of 22 gpm (83.3 lpm), supporting 2 or 3 valves. The rear hitch is a Category II type with a lift capacity of 6,308 lbs (2,861 kg). The independent rear PTO supports both 540 and 1000 RPM speeds, facilitating the operation of various implements.
Operator Environment and Mechanical Features
The tractor features hydraulic wet disc brakes for consistent stopping power. The standard configuration includes a two-post ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structure), with the Sound-Gard cab available as an optional upgrade for enhanced operator comfort. The wheelbase measures 101.7 inches.
Conclusion
The John Deere 3155 is a reliable utility tractor suited for medium-to-large scale farming tasks. Its combination of a high-torque 6-cylinder engine, flexible transmission options, and substantial hydraulic capacity makes it a versatile tool for varied agricultural applications.
