JOHN DEERE 5204 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The John Deere 5204 tractor, with its 50 hp 3-cylinder diesel engine, is optimized for efficient power delivery at a rated RPM of 2300, making it suitable for medium-duty agricultural tasks. Advantages include its direct injection fuel system for increased efficiency and a dry air cleaner that simplifies maintenance in dusty environments. However, the relatively low power-to-weight ratio may limit performance in heavy-load scenarios, making it less ideal for severe agricultural operations compared to higher horsepower models.

JOHN DEERE 5204 ENGINE
The John Deere 5204 features a robust 3-cylinder diesel engine, which is advantageous for fuel efficiency and torque delivery, especially during heavy-duty tasks. With a 16.4-gallon fuel tank, it supports extended operational periods without refueling, making it suitable for medium to large farming operations. However, while the 3-cylinder configuration provides good power, it may face challenges in extremely high-load applications compared to 4-cylinder counterparts.

TRANSMISSION
The John Deere 5204 tractor features a collar shift transmission with 8 forward and 4 reverse gears, allowing for efficient power management in varying terrains. The requirement to stop and engage the clutch for shifting may impede quick gear changes during operations, but ensures smoother transitions and reduces transmission wear. Ideal for applications where consistent torque and controlled speed are crucial, such as plowing or hauling.
| Type |

| Gears |
8 forward and 4 reverse |
| Description |
Four gears (1-4) in two ranges (A/B) plus reverse (R) range. Tractor must be stopped, and clutch used, to shift gear or range. |
MECHANICAL
The John Deere 5204 features a 4x2 2WD chassis, which enhances fuel efficiency and reduces complexity for smaller operations but may limit traction in wet or uneven terrain. Its power steering promotes ease of maneuverability, while the mechanical wet disc brakes provide reliable stopping power, though they require regular maintenance. The 8-speed collar shift transmission allows for versatile speed settings, ideal for various farm tasks, though it may not offer the smoothness of modern synchronized transmissions in demanding scenarios.

JOHN DEERE 5204 TIRES
The John Deere 5204 is equipped with Ag front tires (6.0x16/7.5x16) and rear tires (14.9x28), providing a balanced combination of traction and stability for various agricultural tasks. The larger rear tires enhance the tractor's ability to navigate rough terrains and carry heavier loads, while the front tire options improve maneuverability. However, potential challenges include limited tire options for specific soil types and potential for compaction in softer ground conditions.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The John Deere 5204's 76.8-inch wheelbase provides stability and maneuverability, making it suitable for various agricultural applications. With a total weight of 4023 lbs and a rear tire configuration of 14.9x28, it offers good traction in tilled or uneven terrain while minimizing soil compaction. However, the front tire size of 6.0x16 may limit its load-bearing capacity, potentially affecting performance during heavier front-end operations like loader work.
