John Deere 4000 Tractor Parts
4000 parts and accessories
The John Deere 4000 was a popular utility tractor produced from 1969 to 1972, known for its reliability and versatility on the farm. Powered by a robust diesel engine producing approximately 59 horsepower and offering around 53 PTO horsepower, it was a workhorse for various agricultural tasks. Farmers appreciated its maneuverability and capable hydraulics, making it ideal for haying, livestock operations, and general farm work.
The John Deere 4000 was introduced in 1969 as part of the New Generation tractor lineup, replacing older models and offering improved performance and operator comfort. Production continued through 1972. The heart of the 4000 is a John Deere 3.9L (239 ci) 4-cylinder diesel engine, producing around 59 engine horsepower. These models also came with the option of gasoline engines. This was paired with either an 8-speed Syncro Range transmission offering synchronized shifting for ease of use, or the optional Powr-Shift transmission. The PTO delivered approximately 53 horsepower at 540 RPM, enabling efficient operation of implements. Hydraulic capacity was sufficient for operating loaders and other hydraulic equipment, with typically around 16 GPM flow rate. The tractor featured a Category II 3-point hitch, allowing for the use of a wide variety of implements. The John Deere 4000 was commonly used for row crop work, hay production, livestock feeding, and light tillage operations. What distinguishes the 4000 from other models in the John Deere lineup of the time is its balance of power, size, and versatility, filling a crucial gap between smaller utility tractors and larger row crop machines.
