John Deere 8770 Tractor Parts
8770 parts and accessories
The John Deere 8770, manufactured from 1992 to 1994, was a powerful articulated four-wheel drive tractor known for its robust performance. Powered by a 250 horsepower John Deere diesel engine and boasting a PTO horsepower of around 215, the 8770 quickly became a favorite among farmers needing reliable power for demanding tillage operations and large-scale planting.
The John Deere 8770 was introduced in 1992 as part of the '70 Series' of four-wheel drive tractors, replacing earlier models and offering improved features and performance. Production continued until 1994. It features a John Deere 6-cylinder diesel engine, rated at approximately 250 horsepower with a displacement of 7.6 liters (466 cubic inches). These models came equipped with a 12-speed manual powershift transmission, providing a good range of speeds for various field operations. The PTO horsepower is rated around 215 HP at 1000 RPM. Hydraulic capacity is around 40 GPM with typically 3 or 4 remote valves. While it doesn't have a 3-point hitch from the factory, aftermarket conversions are sometimes fitted. The 8770 was primarily used for heavy tillage such as plowing, disking, and cultivating large fields, as well as pulling large planters and air seeders. Compared to smaller models in the John Deere lineup, the 8770 offered significantly more power and pulling capacity, making it suitable for large-acreage farms.
