John Deere 7290R

Last Updated: July 2024

Overview

The John Deere 7290R is a high-powered, row-crop tractor engineered to meet the needs of modern agriculture. With a turbocharged diesel engine featuring two turbochargers and an air-to-air aftercooler, it boasts exceptional performance and reliability. The liquid-cooled, 548 ci PowerTech PVX inline 6-cylinder engine with 24 valves provides a rated power of 290 hp and can achieve up to 323 hp, with independent test results showing a maximum power of 280.06 hp at 1751 rpm. Equipped with both full power shift and IVT options, operators can select a transmission that optimizes efficiency for various applications. The transmission features infinitely variable speeds with two mechanical ranges and automatic shifting, with nominal travel speeds of 0-25.0 mph forward and 0-12.4 mph reverse. Featuring a 4WD system complemented by Triple-Link Suspension on the MFWD front axle, the 7290R delivers impressive maneuverability and comfort in the field. This tractor, with its hydrostatic power steering and large agricultural tires, is designed to manage the demands of large-scale farming with reduced soil compaction and improved traction. The fully enclosed cab provides a comfortable operator environment suitable for long workdays. Emission controls such as SCR, DEF treatment, and a particulate filter contribute to reduced environmental impact, making the 7290R a responsive choice for eco-conscious users. Independent test results provide detailed information on weights, fuel consumption, travel speeds, torque, hydraulic performance, and drawbar performance.
