Row-Crop Tractors
These traditional large farm tractors are used to prepare fields and assist in the row crop planting process. With between 100 and 360 hp, these tractors move easily through the fields, making crop preparation and planting a bit simpler.
By 1934, John Deere created the John Deere Model A tractor, the company’s first true row-crop tractor with an adjustable wheel tread. This was then followed closely by the Model B tractor. These John Deere tractor models were innovative enough to stay in production for almost 20 years. When the 1980s began, Deere focused more on fuel efficiency. The 50 Series was a big shift. This led up to the tractor technologies and designs we see in today’s market.
Let’s take a look at the milestones in between:
- 1958: In this year, the Model 730 was introduced. This model was John Deere’s largest row-crop tractor ever at that time.
- 1960: When the 4010 was introduced, it became available with three different agricultural configurations in export and industrial versions.
- 1963: The John Deere 4020 was introduced. The 20 Series had improved field performance as well as operator comfort. This vehicle’s most innovative feature was its Power Shift transmission, which allowed for movement between gears without needing to use a clutch.
- 1969: The 4520, which was the first turbo diesel tractor model, was introduced by Deere.
- 1971: John Deere introduced the 4620, which was the industry’s first intercooled turbo diesel model.
- 1972: John Deere’s Generation II tractors were introduced. They featured innovative comfort and styling, and the new innovative design improved visibility for operators.
- 1978: Deere introduced the 4840. This vehicle featured a 466 cubic-inch engine as well as 180.63 horsepower, making it more powerful than the 4630 model.
