CAN U DRIVE TRACKS ON THE ROAD

[balmesh]

Well, I ploughed with 5 furrows and a 90hp tracklayer (Marshall) 40 years ago. Progress?

[farmerspackman]

You have to remember that 345 is the engine horsepower and not PTO power. The 8 345 R would be roughly the same as the older 8530, around 275hp on the pto, give or take a little

this john deere come from usa

[TheTerraGlobe]

Every John Deere tractor after the 7th series (in particular 7530 model) imported in Europe comes only from USA. That's what I know. :)

great movie!

[Bobassa0903]

I don't like tractors with tracks as much as tractors with wheels. They just don't seem to do the job as well...

[tractorboy8420]

this europion? or american.. i am stil confused by the model nomber i get that its the new 40 seiries but 45?

[HaylockMedia]

Built in USA to Euro spec. Its part of the new 8r series

[tractorboy8420]

so not in the U.s. just built tthere?

[balquhidder]

not 40 series. jd now numbers there tractors by engine horsepower. hence, 345 engine hp, the 8 stands for 8000 series. the 8225 RT is 225 engine hp and so on...

[tractorboy8420]

were the hell have i been?! i cant beleve i missed this! makes me feel knda dumb..... well thanks for the input!

[tractorboy8420]

yeah i have been seeing that.. thanks

[JD6920inBerschweiler]

john deere made a new number system

the 8 is the type series

and the 345 is the power of the engine

[Toddney72]

@JD6920inBerschweiler Thanks for that bit of information. Is this only relevant on the new 8 series John Deere's?

[ureonmyhitlist]

@JD6920inBerschweiler Isn't 345 HP a little much for a 7 bottom plow?

[RBfarming]

8 = Range

345 = Power in hp

R = Specification (A-Z scale - R = quite high)

T = Tracked

[07lthorne]

@tractorboy8420

I'm pretty sure that the last 3 numbers indicate how much horsepower. So 345hp in this case. But I could be wrong.

[Scraman500]

@tractorboy8420 8345RT 8=Frame Size, 345=Engine Horsepower, R=model and T=tracks we have 5 in North Dakota

[NMSchultz1]

@tractorboy8420 they arent the 40's series john deere is changed it to 8r and 8rt the last three numbers is the horsepower

[toplineboy]
