ENGINE DETAIL
The John Deere 5310, equipped with a turbocharged 2.9L diesel engine, delivers 64 hp at a low operating RPM of 1600-2400, making it ideal for tasks requiring consistent torque like plowing or tilling. It features a compression ratio of 17.8:1, which optimizes fuel efficiency but may require higher-quality diesel to prevent knocking under load. Regular coolant changes every 2000 hours and precise valve clearances (0.014 inches intake, 0.018 inches exhaust) are essential for maintaining engine performance and longevity.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The John Deere 5310 offers a versatile transmission system with options for 9-speed unsynchronized, 9-speed partially synchronized, and a 12-speed power shuttle, enhancing flexibility in various agricultural tasks. The unsynchronized option may present challenges during shifting under load, while the partially synchronized and power shuttle systems facilitate smoother operation, particularly in fieldwork scenarios requiring quick direction changes. Overall, the choice of transmission impacts productivity, with the power shuttle providing advantages in user-friendly operation and efficiency for demanding tasks.

TRANSMISSION 1
The John Deere 5310 tractor features a Collar Shift unsynchronized gear transmission with 9 forward and 3 reverse gears, allowing for versatility in various field tasks. A key advantage is its straightforward control mechanism with two levers, although the requirement to stop and use the dry disc clutch for shifting may hinder efficiency in fast-paced operations. With an oil capacity of 40 quarts, ensuring optimal lubrication is crucial for maintaining performance and longevity under heavy-duty applications.
| Transmission | CollarShift |
| Type | unsynchronized gear |
| Gears | 9 forward and 3 reverse |
| Clutch | dry disc |
| Oil capacity | 40 qts/37.9 L |
| Description | The Collar Shift transmission is controlled with two levers and the foot clutch. The right-hand lever selects one of three speeds (1-3) or reverse (R). The left-hand lever selects one of three ranges (A-C). The tractor must be stopped, and clutch used, to shift either speed or range. |
TRANSMISSION 2
The John Deere 5310 features a partially synchronized SyncShuttle transmission, providing smooth gear shifts across 9 forward and 3 reverse speeds, ideal for varied agricultural tasks. Its dry disc clutch system enhances durability, but requires the tractor to be stopped during range shifts, which may slow down operations in continuous work scenarios. The 40-quart oil capacity contributes to effective lubrication, supporting long-term reliability when properly maintained.
| Transmission | SyncShuttle |
| Type | partially synchronized |
| Gears | 9 forward and 3 reverse |
| Clutch | dry disc |
| Oil capacity | 40 qts/37.9 L |
| Description | Three speeds (1-3) plus reverse (R) in three ranges (A-C). Synchronized shifting, using the clutch, between the three forward speeds and reverse. Tractor must be stopped, and clutch used, to shift range. |
TRANSMISSION 3
The John Deere 5310's PowrReverser transmission offers a seamless direction change while in motion, enhancing operational efficiency. Its 12 forward and reverse gears, combined with a wet disc clutch, provide robust control but necessitate a complete stop for range changes, posing a potential challenge in dynamic work environments. An important operational note is that the clutch must be engaged prior to moving, which could slow initial engagements but adds reliability to the transmission system.
| Transmission | PowrReverser |
| Type | power shuttle |
| Gears | 12 forward and reverse |
| Clutch | wet disc |
| Oil capacity | 46 qts/43.5 L |
| Description | Four speeds (1-4) in three ranges (A-C) with forward-reverse shuttle lever. Direction changes may be done while moving using the left-hand shuttle lever. Speed changes are synchronized using the clutch. Tractor must be stopped, and clutch used, to shift ranges. At tractor start-up, clutch pedal must be cycled once before tractor will move. |

MECHANICAL
The John Deere 5310 tractor features a versatile drivetrain with optional 4WD for improved traction, making it suitable for various terrains but potentially increasing maintenance complexity. The hydraulic wet disc brakes provide reliable stopping power, enhancing safety during operation, while the choice of 9-speed unsynchronized or partially synchronized transmissions allows for flexible speed management tailored to specific tasks. The two-post ROPS offers essential overhead protection, though an optional cab could increase operator comfort and productivity in adverse weather conditions.
