John Deere 2020

Last Updated: June 2024

Overview

The John Deere 2020 is a versatile row-crop tractor, well-suited for various agricultural tasks. Manufactured between 1965 and 1971 in Dubuque, Iowa, USA, and Mexico, it features a choice of two engines: a four-cylinder, liquid-cooled, 180.4 cubic-inch gasoline engine, or a 201.8 cubic-inch diesel engine with similar specifications. The 2020 model promotes operator comfort with an open operator station and ensures ease of maneuverability with power-assisted steering and differential hydraulic wet disc brakes. This tractor's 8-speed gear (unsynchronized gear with dry disc clutch) or optional 16-speed (two-speed power shift) or 8-speed power shuttle transmissions allow for efficient operation and a good range of speeds. Its rear three-point hitch (category II) aids in compatibility with a wide array of implements. With a solid design and varied transmission options, the John Deere 2020 remains a reliable choice for modern-day farming needs.
