TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The John Deere 8335RT is equipped with a 16-speed full power shift infinitely variable transmission (IVT) that enhances operational efficiency by allowing seamless speed adjustments without compromising power delivery. This transmission provides improved fuel economy and reduced wear on driveline components due to its ability to optimize engine speed across varied load conditions. However, operators may face a learning curve to fully exploit the transmission's capabilities, especially in complex field scenarios where rapid speed adjustments are necessary.

TRANSMISSION 1

The John Deere 8335RT features a John Deere Automatic PowerShift transmission, offering 16 forward and 4 reverse gears for optimal torque and speed management. This full power shift system enhances operator efficiency by minimizing the need for manual gear selection, particularly advantageous in diverse field conditions. However, the complexity of the system may pose maintenance challenges and require specialized knowledge for diagnostics.
