John Deere 8230 Tractor Parts

The John Deere 8230 was part of the 8030 series tractors introduced in 2006, replacing the earlier 8020 series. Production ran until 2009. This model boasted a John Deere PowerTech 9.0L 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine, delivering approximately 200 engine horsepower and a peak of around 215 hp. Engine displacement was 548 cubic inches (9.0 liters). It came standard with a 16-speed PowerShift transmission, providing smooth and efficient gear changes. The PTO horsepower was rated at approximately 165 hp, offering both 540 and 1000 RPM options. The hydraulic system featured a closed-center, pressure-compensated (CCPC) design, providing a flow rate of around 40 GPM with optional high flow up to 56 GPM, and typically had 3-5 remote valves. The 3-point hitch was a Category III/IIIN, capable of lifting around 9,700 lbs. The 8230 found common applications in row crop farming, tillage, and livestock operations, often used for pulling planters, cultivators, and large tillage implements. Compared to the smaller models in the 8030 series, the 8230 offered increased power and hydraulic capacity, while the larger models, like the 8330 and 8430, provided even more power for the most demanding tasks.
