ENGINE DETAIL
The John Deere 8310RT features a robust PowerTech PSX engine, offering 310hp rated power and up to 357hp with Intelligent Power Management (IPM), ideal for demanding agricultural tasks. Its dual turbocharging and optimal air filtration enhance efficiency while meeting Interim Tier IV emissions standards through exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), beneficial for environmentally-conscious operations. However, ensure proper maintenance, as oil change intervals of 250 to 500 hours, depending on the oil type, can impact operational downtime.
