John Deere 8370R

The John Deere 8370R is a high-powered row-crop tractor part of the venerable 8R series, that combines cutting-edge technology and robust performance for demanding agricultural tasks. Manufactured in Waterloo, Iowa, USA from 2014 to 2019, it's powered by a 9.0 L six-cylinder diesel engine by John Deere (PowerTech PSS, Serial No. RG6090U014981), designed with advanced features such as turbocharging, aftercooling, and an OHV valve configuration. It uses No. 2 Diesel fuel with DEF (32% aqueous urea solution). The engine offers a rated power output of 323.14 hp and a maximum power of 364.94 hp, with a peak torque of 1159 lb-ft at 1600 rpm and a torque rise of 43.6%. The tractor comes with two transmission options: an infinitely variable transmission (IVT) for a seamless range of speeds or an e23 full power shift transmission which provides 23 forward and 11 reverse gears (detailed gear speeds provided in test results) allowing operators to optimize the speed for various tasks. It supports a rear hitch with a significant lift capacity, ideal for heavy implements, and it's equipped with hydrostatic power steering and hydraulic wet disc brakes for smooth operations and safe stopping. The spacious CommandView III cab offers comfort and enhanced visibility, and it's compatible with front and rear PTO, promoting versatility in attachment support. With its substantial operating weight (40410 lb with ballast) and large fuel capacity, the 8370R stands as a capable and reliable machine, ready for long, demanding days on the farm. Additional details from the test results include hydraulic performance data (pump delivery rate of 84.2 GPM, hydraulic power of 98.7 HP at 2114 psi delivery pressure), sound levels, tire specifications, fuel efficiency at standard PTO speed (18.55 Hp.hr/gal), and DEF consumption (0.47 Gal/hr at maximum power).
