John Deere 8310T Tractor Parts

The John Deere 8310T tracked tractor was introduced in 1998 as part of the John Deere 8010 series. This series aimed to deliver increased power and improved comfort for large-scale farming operations. The 8310T is powered by a John Deere 8.1L (496 cu in) six-cylinder diesel engine, producing approximately 215 engine horsepower. This robust engine, combined with a 185 PTO horsepower rating, made it well-suited for a variety of demanding tasks. The transmission options included a 16-speed PowerShift transmission, providing smooth and efficient gear changes. The hydraulic system offered a flow rate of around 29 GPM to power implements effectively. Its category III 3-point hitch and heavy-duty drawbar allows for tillage, planting, and harvesting operations. The tracked design sets the 8310T apart from wheeled tractors in the 8010 series, offering improved traction and reduced soil compaction, especially beneficial in challenging field conditions. It was a popular choice for row crop farming, large-scale tillage, and other heavy-duty agricultural applications. Distinguished by its undercarriage, the 8310T offered superior flotation and tractive effort compared to its wheeled counterparts, making it a favored option in areas with heavy or wet soils.
