The tractor is powered by a 2-cylinder, liquid-cooled diesel engine with a displacement of 72.1 cubic inches (1.2 liters). It produces 18 horsepower (13.4 kW) at a rated engine speed of 2500 RPM. The engine features a bore/stroke ratio of 92 mm by 89 mm, designed for consistent performance in light agricultural applications.

The drivetrain consists of a gear-type transmission offering six forward speeds and one reverse gear. Steering is managed manually, and the tractor is equipped with disc brakes for operational control. The machine has a shipping weight of 2750 lbs (1247 kg) and features an open operator station.

Power Take-Off and Hydraulics

The John Deere 100 includes a rear Power Take-Off (PTO) with dual speed capabilities of 540 and 1000 RPM. Additionally, it is equipped with a standard mid-mounted PTO operating at 1000 RPM. The rear hitch assembly supports category II/I implements, allowing for compatibility with a variety of agricultural attachments.
