John Deere 8560 Tractor Parts

Introduced in 1985, the John Deere 8560 was a significant addition to John Deere's lineup of four-wheel drive tractors, offering substantial power and versatility for various agricultural applications. Production continued through 1994. The heart of the 8560 is a John Deere 6-cylinder diesel engine, producing a rated 235 horsepower with a displacement of 763 cubic inches (12.5 liters). This provided excellent torque and lugging ability. The 8560 was equipped with a 12-speed manual transmission with synchronized shifting. Its PTO delivered 190 horsepower, available at either 540 or 1000 RPM, allowing for compatibility with a wide range of implements. The hydraulic system offered a flow rate of approximately 30 GPM, with multiple remote valves available. The 3-point hitch was a Category III, providing a substantial lift capacity for attaching implements. This tractor was commonly used for row crop operations, hay production, livestock operations, and heavy tillage. Its four-wheel drive capability and powerful engine distinguished it from smaller two-wheel drive models in the John Deere lineup, making it a go-to choice for farmers needing to cover large acreages efficiently.
