Introduction

John Deere 8370R Row-Crop Tractor

The John Deere 8370R is a high-horsepower row-crop tractor produced between 2014 and 2019 at the Waterloo, Iowa, facility. This machine is engineered for heavy-duty agricultural operations, offering advanced drivetrain options and high-capacity hydraulic performance.

Engine and Performance

The tractor is powered by the 9.0-liter John Deere PowerTech PSS six-cylinder diesel engine. This unit features a turbocharged and aftercooled induction system with electronic high-pressure common rail fuel injection. It delivers a rated power of 370 hp (275.9 kW) at 2100 RPM, with a maximum power output of 407 hp (303.5 kW). Emission compliance is managed through selective catalytic reduction (SCR) to meet Tier 4 standards.

Transmission and Drivetrain

Two transmission configurations were available for this model: the John Deere AutoPowr Infinitely Variable Transmission (IVT) for seamless speed adjustment, and the John Deere e23 full powershift transmission, which provides 23 forward and 11 reverse gears. Both options transfer power to a standard four-wheel-drive system featuring inboard planetary final drives and hydraulic differential locks.

Hydraulics and PTO

The hydraulic system utilizes a closed-center, load-sensing, pressure-flow compensated pump. Standard pump flow is 60 gpm (227.1 lpm), with an optional capacity of up to 85 gpm (321.7 lpm). Rear power take-off (PTO) is independent, with a standard 1000 RPM (1.75-inch shaft) configuration. An optional independent front PTO and front hitch are available to increase the tractor's versatility with front-mounted implements.

Operator Environment

The 8370R is equipped with the CommandView III cab as standard, which includes air-conditioning and integrated technology suites. The tractor is factory-ready for AutoTrac precision farming systems and includes JDLink and ServiceADVISOR Remote capabilities for fleet management and diagnostic support.

Conclusion

The John Deere 8370R serves as a high-performance solution for large-scale row-crop farming. Its combination of high-torque engine output, versatile transmission options, and advanced hydraulic capacity makes it suitable for demanding tasks requiring both heavy draft work and precision implement control.
