Introduction
John Deere 8310R Row-Crop Tractor
The John Deere 8310R is a high-horsepower row-crop tractor produced between 2011 and 2013 at the John Deere facility in Waterloo, Iowa, USA. Designed for demanding agricultural operations, this model integrates advanced engine technology and robust hydraulic systems to support heavy-duty field work.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 9.0L 6-cylinder John Deere PowerTech PSX diesel engine featuring dual turbochargers and a 24-valve configuration. It delivers a rated power of 310 hp (231.2 kW) and a maximum power of 341 hp (254.3 kW). An optional Intelligent Power Management (IPM) system provides an additional 35 hp boost. The engine complies with Interim Tier IV / Stage IIIB emission standards using exhaust gas recirculation (EGR).
Transmission and Drivetrain
The 8310R offers two transmission choices: a 16-speed Automatic PowerShift transmission, which uses computer control to optimize gear selection based on load, or the John Deere AutoPowr Infinitely Variable Transmission (IVT) for seamless speed adjustment. The tractor is equipped with four-wheel drive, featuring front and rear differential locks for enhanced traction in field conditions.
Hydraulics and Hitch
Equipped with a closed-center, pressure-flow compensated hydraulic system, the tractor provides a total flow of 60 gpm (227.1 lpm). It supports 3 to 5 rear valves for implement control. The rear three-point hitch is a Category 4N/3 configuration with a lift capacity of up to 18,700 lbs (8482 kg) depending on the model year, ensuring compatibility with heavy implements.
Operator Environment
The machine features the CommandView II cab, which is provided as standard equipment and includes climate control (heating and air conditioning). Steering is managed through a hydrostatic power system, with an optional ActiveCommand Steering (ACS) system available to improve operator control and comfort during long working hours.
