Jump to Parts

The John Deere 1030 tractor, manufactured from 1973 to 1979, was a popular choice for farmers needing a reliable utility tractor. Powered by a 45 horsepower diesel engine, the 1030 provided ample power for various tasks. Its robust design and approximately 38 PTO horsepower made it well-suited for operating implements and contributing to the efficient running of small to medium-sized farms.

The John Deere 1030 was introduced in 1973 as part of the '30 series' of tractors. Production continued until 1979. It was offered in several configurations, including a row-crop version and a vineyard model. The 1030 was powered by a John Deere 3.164L (193.1 ci) 3-cylinder diesel engine, producing approximately 45 engine horsepower. Some models were equipped with a gasoline engine as well. The PTO horsepower was around 38. Transmission options included an 8-speed gear transmission, providing flexibility for different field conditions. The open center hydraulic system had a capacity of around 9 GPM, with optional remotes available. The 3-point hitch was a Category I, with a lift capacity around 2,646 lbs. Common applications included row crop work, hay baling, operating rotary cutters, and general farm duties. It was smaller and more economical than the larger models like the 2030, making it a great option for farmers with smaller fields.
