Introduction
John Deere 7260R Row-Crop Tractor
The John Deere 7260R is a high-horsepower row-crop tractor produced between 2011 and 2013 in Waterloo, Iowa, USA. Designed for demanding agricultural applications, this model belongs to the 7R series and is engineered to provide high levels of operational efficiency and precision farming capabilities.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 9.0-liter, 6-cylinder John Deere PowerTech PVX engine. This liquid-cooled unit features an electronic high-pressure common rail fuel system and a turbocharger with an aftercooler. It delivers a rated power of 260 hp (193.9 kW) and a maximum gross power of 286 hp (213.3 kW). Emission compliance is managed through exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) technology, meeting Tier 4A standards.

The drivetrain features a four-wheel drive system with a limited-slip front axle and a full-locking electrohydraulic rear differential lock, ensuring traction in varied field conditions.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system is a closed-center, pressure and flow compensated (PFC) design, delivering a standard pump flow of 43 gpm (162.8 lpm), with an optional capacity of 59 gpm (223.3 lpm). The rear PTO is independent and supports multiple speeds, including 540/540E/1000/1000E, to accommodate a wide variety of implements. An optional front PTO and front hitch are available to further increase the tractor's versatility.
