Introduction
John Deere 8370RT Agricultural Crawler Tractor
The John Deere 8370RT is a high-performance agricultural crawler tractor manufactured in Waterloo, Iowa, between 2014 and 2019. Designed for heavy-duty field operations, this machine combines high-capacity power delivery with the specific traction advantages of a tracked drive system.
Engine and Emissions
The tractor is powered by the John Deere PowerTech PSS 9.0 L, a 6-cylinder liquid-cooled engine. It produces a rated gross power of 370 hp (275.9 kW). The engine utilizes dual variable geometry turbochargers to optimize torque and efficiency. It complies with Tier 4B emission standards through the use of Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR) technology.
Transmission and Drive
The 8370RT is equipped with the John Deere AutoPowr transmission, which is an infinitely variable transmission (IVT). This system allows for seamless speed adjustments and infinite forward and reverse ratios, facilitating precise operation under varying load conditions. The tractor features a four-wheel drive configuration adapted for its tracked undercarriage.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system is a closed-center, load-sensing, pressure-flow compensated design. It provides a standard pump flow of 60 gpm (227.1 lpm), with an optional 42 gpm configuration available. The tractor supports 4 to 6 rear SCVs. The independent rear PTO operates at 1000 rpm, and an optional independent front PTO is also available to accommodate specialized front-mounted implements.
Hitch and Operator Environment
The rear hitch is a Category IVN/III system with a standard lift capacity of 15,000 lbs (6,804 kg), which can be increased to 20,000 lbs (9,072 kg) with the optional heavy-duty setup. The operator works within the CommandView III cab, which is standard-equipped with air conditioning to ensure comfort during extended operating hours.
Conclusion
The John Deere 8370RT is a specialized machine engineered for large-scale farming applications requiring high drawbar pull and ground flotation. Its combination of an infinitely variable transmission, robust hydraulic capacity, and high-horsepower engine makes it suitable for heavy primary tillage and intensive draft work.
