ENGINE

The John Deere 3046R, powered by a Yanmar 3TNV86CHT-MJTV engine, provides a robust 44.7 hp and 33.9 hp at the PTO, ideal for medium-duty tasks in agricultural or light construction applications. Its turbocharged, intercooled, and Final Tier 4 compliant design enhances fuel efficiency while meeting stringent emissions standards, although maintenance may be more complex due to the common rail direct injection system. With a liquid-cooled, pressurized lubrication system and a torque output of 112.3 Nm, it ensures reliable performance under various load conditions, but operators should monitor the fuel capacity closely, especially in long operational periods.

TRANSMISSION

The John Deere 3046R features a three-range, infinitely variable eHydro transmission, providing seamless power delivery and operator comfort in varied agricultural tasks. The wet disk brakes enhance safety and require less maintenance than traditional systems, while the hydrostatic power steering allows for precise maneuverability, crucial in tight spaces or delicate operations. With an axle capacity of 1450 kg (front) and 1850 kg (rear), this tractor is well-suited for handling moderate loads, making it ideal for small to medium-sized farms or landscaping applications.
