JOHN DEERE 2850 POWER

Engine 86hp / 64.1kW

ENGINE DETAIL

The John Deere 2850 features a 3.9L turbocharged diesel engine with an optimal power rating of 86hp at 2300 RPM and substantial torque of 232.3 lb-ft at 1500 RPM, making it well-suited for agricultural applications requiring consistent power delivery during heavy loads. The wet weight is manageable, allowing for improved maneuverability on varied terrains, but the dry air cleaner may necessitate regular maintenance in dusty environments to ensure optimal performance. Overall, this tractor strikes a balance between power and efficiency, though its turbocharged setup may pose challenges like increased maintenance complexity compared to naturally aspirated engines.

JOHN DEERE 2850 ENGINE

The John Deere 2850 is powered by a reliable 3.9L 4-cylinder diesel engine, offering robust torque and fuel efficiency, ideal for moderate agricultural tasks. With a standard fuel tank capacity of 22.2 gallons, operators can opt for an additional fuel tank, extending capacity to 35.9 gallons, which significantly enhances operational time without frequent refueling—a crucial advantage for extensive fieldwork. However, keep in mind that the tractor's weight and size may challenge maneuverability in tight spaces, so it's best suited for more open agricultural settings.
