The tractor featured a John Deere 3.9L (239 cu in) 4-cylinder diesel engine, producing around 66 engine horsepower and approximately 58 PTO horsepower. The engine was known for its durability and fuel efficiency. The transmission was typically a synchro-range transmission with 8 forward and 4 reverse gears, offering a good range of speeds for different tasks. The 1830 had a 540 RPM PTO.
