John Deere 3530 Tractor Parts

The John Deere 3530 was introduced in 1973 as part of the John Deere lineup of utility tractors, filling a need for a mid-sized tractor capable of handling diverse tasks. Production continued until 1979. The 3530 features a John Deere diesel engine, rated at 70 engine horsepower with a 276 cubic inch (4.5L) displacement. This model came standard with a gear transmission, offering 8 forward and 2 reverse speeds, providing a good range for different field conditions. The PTO is rated at 63 horsepower, available in both 540 RPM configurations. Its hydraulic system delivers approximately 18 GPM (gallons per minute), supporting two rear remotes for implement control. A Category II 3-point hitch provides compatibility with a wide range of implements. The 3530 was commonly used for row crop operations, hay baling, livestock management, and light tillage. Its relatively compact size and powerful engine distinguished it from smaller utility tractors while remaining more agile than larger row-crop models, offering a balance of power and maneuverability that many farmers appreciated.
