Last Updated: June 2024

Overview

The John Deere 7220 is a versatile row-crop tractor that was part of the 7020 series, manufactured in Waterloo, Iowa, from 2003 to 2007. Designed to handle a variety of agricultural tasks, the 7220 is powered by a 5.9 L turbocharged six-cylinder diesel engine that delivers 110 hp. It is equipped with either a 16-speed partial power shift transmission or an Infinitely Variable Transmission (IVT) and offers a choice between 2WD and 4WD configurations. With a hydraulic wet disc brake system and a closed-center pressure-flow compensated (PFC) hydraulic system, the tractor is well-suited for demanding operations. Operators can enjoy a cabin designed for comfort which is standard with air-conditioning or choose an open station with two-post ROPS. The 7220 provides substantial lifting capacity with a Hitch Category II system and is compatible with a wide range of attachments, making it a reliable workhorse for farming needs.
