Its ease of use and durability solidified its reputation as a dependable workhorse on the farm.
The John Deere 930 was introduced in 1973 as part of John Deere's lineup of utility tractors, filling a crucial need for a mid-sized, robust machine. Production continued until 1975. The 930 features a John Deere 3.9L (239 cu in) 3-cylinder diesel engine producing approximately 55 engine horsepower. This diesel engine provided a significant advantage in fuel efficiency and torque compared to gasoline alternatives. The tractor is equipped with a gear transmission, offering 8 forward and 2 reverse speeds. It delivers 46 PTO horsepower, available at 540 RPM.
