Introduction
John Deere 8245R Row-Crop Tractor
The John Deere 8245R is a high-horsepower row-crop tractor produced between 2014 and 2019 at the Waterloo, Iowa, facility. This model is engineered to provide substantial traction and hydraulic capacity for heavy-duty agricultural operations.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 9.0-liter, 6-cylinder John Deere PowerTech PSS engine. This liquid-cooled, turbocharged, and aftercooled diesel engine utilizes an electronic high-pressure common rail fuel system and selective catalyst reduction for Tier 4B emission compliance. It delivers a gross rated power of 245 hp (182.7 kW) at a rated speed of 2100 RPM, with a maximum power output of 270 hp (201.3 kW).
Transmission and Drivetrain
Operators can choose between two transmission configurations: the 16-forward and 4-reverse John Deere PowerShift, or the infinitely variable John Deere AutoPowr (IVT) transmission. The tractor features a four-wheel-drive system with inboard planetary final drives and hydraulic wet disc brakes. Front axle options include the 1300 or 1500 MFWD models, as well as the ILS (Independent Link Suspension) system for enhanced field performance.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system is a closed-center, load-sensing, pressure-flow compensated design. It features a standard pump flow of 60 gpm (227.1 lpm), with an optional 85 gpm configuration. The tractor is equipped with 4 to 6 rear selective control valves (SCVs). Regarding power take-off, it includes an independent rear PTO with 1000 RPM capacity, and offers an optional independent front PTO for increased implement versatility.
Operator Environment and Dimensions
The 8245R comes standard with the CommandView III cab, which includes air conditioning and integration for AutoTrac, JDLink, and ServiceADVISOR Remote. The tractor has a wheelbase of 121.3 inches (308 cm) and is typically configured with 380/80R38 front tires and 480/80R50 rear tires. The hitch system supports Category III/IIIN rear hitches with a lift capacity of 14,000 lbs, and optional front hitch configurations are available.
Conclusion
The John Deere 8245R is designed for large-scale farming enterprises requiring a balance of power, sophisticated electronic management, and high-capacity hydraulic performance. It is well-suited for heavy tillage, planting, and transport applications.
