Introduction
John Deere 4100 Compact Utility Tractor
The John Deere 4100 is a compact utility tractor manufactured in Augusta, Georgia, USA, between 1998 and 2001. Designed for agricultural and landscaping applications, this machine serves as a versatile platform for property maintenance and light-duty field work.
Engine and Power
The tractor is powered by a Yanmar 3TNE74 diesel engine. This 1.0-liter, 3-cylinder liquid-cooled unit produces a gross power of 20 hp (14.9 kW) and a net power of 19 hp (14.2 kW). It utilizes an indirect injection fuel system and is equipped with a dry-type air cleaner.
Transmission and Drivetrain
Operators can choose between two transmission types: an 8-speed partially synchronized manual transmission or a 2-range hydrostatic transmission with cruise control. Both versions feature four-wheel drive and power steering. The manual transmission uses a mechanical dry disc clutch, while the hydrostatic version utilizes a hydraulic wet disc clutch.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system is an open-center design providing a total flow of 5.1 gpm (19.3 lpm) at a system pressure of 2418 psi (166.7 bar). The rear hitch is a Category I three-point linkage featuring position control, capable of lifting 930 lbs (421 kg) at 24 inches behind the lift point.
PTO and Maneuverability
The tractor includes an independent rear PTO operating at 540 rpm, and a mid-PTO option operating at 2100 rpm. Maneuverability is supported by a 58-inch wheelbase and differential wet disc brakes. A two-post ROPS structure is standard for operator safety.
Conclusion
The John Deere 4100 is a durable compact tractor suited for small-scale agricultural tasks, groundskeeping, and property management. Its choice of transmissions and hydraulic capabilities provide the necessary flexibility for various implement operations in residential or professional settings.
