John Deere 2520

Last Updated: June 2024

Overview

The John Deere 2520 is a versatile machine that serves as both a row-crop and a compact utility tractor. It comes in two distinct configurations; one designed with a 4x2 2WD chassis, and the other with a 4x4 MFWD 4WD chassis. For steering, it relies on hydrostatic power, which may vary slightly between individual models. The tractor has several transmission options: an 8-speed Powershift, 8-speed Syncro-Range, and an infinite range hydrostatic transmission, catering to various operational needs. While engine details can be quite diverse, it ranges from a 3-cylinder Yanmar diesel engine to a 4-cylinder John Deere diesel or gasoline engine. Regardless, it features a liquid cooling system. Specific engine configurations have an oil capacity between 7 and 3.8 quarts and a rated power output up to 26.4 horsepower. The tractor is designed to offer practicality and manageability with tire options to match agricultural, lawn, turf, or industrial needs, giving it flexibility across a range of activities. The exact manufacturing start and end years are unspecified, but it's equipped with a standard three-point hitch in some configurations and has a lift capacity of around 1150.9 pounds. Extra features such as natural aspiration, ground clearance, front and rear treads, and alternator capacity highlight its functionality and design.
