John Deere 300

The John Deere 300 is an industrial tractor that was produced from 1965 to 1973, featuring a 4x2 2WD chassis configuration. It was equipped with both manual and optional power steering, as well as hydraulic wet disc brakes, ensuring control and safety during operations. The model featured two engine options; a 2.5 L three-cylinder diesel and a 2.2 L three-cylinder gasoline engine, with a corresponding displacement of 152.0 cu·in and 135.0 cu·in, respectively. With a power output of 43 HP at 2500 RPM, the tractor offers performance suitable for industrial tasks. This tractor is well suited for various tasks with a constant-mesh transmission that provides 8 forward and 4 reverse gears, supporting work speeds and maneuverability. The cooling system capacity is adequate at 11 US quarts, maintaining optimal engine temperature. Its open operator station caters to ease of access and operations, although it may lack the comfort of modern cabs. The availability of multiple PTO configurations (live and transmission) adds utility for a range of implements. The production years indicate a model that likely plays a role in legacy operations, suitable for collectors or farms with continued use for such equipment.
