The John Deere 8360R is a robust, high-powered 4WD row-crop tractor from the renowned 8R series, designed and built by John Deere in Waterloo, Iowa, during 2011-2013. It features an infinitely variable transmission with four mechanical ranges and automatic shifting. The liquid-cooled, inline 6-cylinder PowerTech PSX engine is dual turbocharged with turbo boost and runs on No. 2 Diesel fuel. Rated at 360 hp, it achieved a maximum power output of 355.36 hp at 1800 rpm during independent testing. Key specifications include a bore of 4.661 in, stroke of 5.354 in, and operating weights of 28,220 lb without ballast or 40,030 lb with ballast. The hydraulic system delivers a maximum force of 18,326 lb at the hitch points and a pump delivery rate of 64.2 GPM at minimum pressure and rated engine speed. Additional notable features are the exhaust system with a regenerative particulate filter and active cleaning, as well as options like ActiveCommand Steering and Intelligent Power Management. The tractor achieved a maximum torque of 1139 lb-ft at 1600 rpm with a torque rise of 41.2%. The PTO power output was 346.28 HP at 1001 rpm and 2000 engine rpm. The rear tires used were Six 480/80R50;***;12(85) / Four 480/80R50;***;12(85). The sound level at no load was 71.0 dB(A).
