ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS
The John Deere 8RT 370 features a robust 9.0 L PowerTech PSS engine designed for high efficiency and performance, particularly with dual turbocharging for enhanced torque and power at lower RPMs. Its advanced emission control system, including DOC, DPF, and SCR, ensures compliance with Final Tier 4 regulations, minimizing environmental impact while maintaining operating efficiency. A key advantage is its B20 diesel compatibility, providing flexibility in fuel choices, although this may require careful monitoring of fuel quality for optimal performance.

ENGINE PERFORMANCE
The John Deere 8RT 370 tractor features a robust 272 kW (370 hp) rated power with a significant power boost potential of 10%, allowing it to achieve up to 299 kW (407 hp) during demanding tasks. With a PTO power of 231 kW (310 hp) and a notable PTO torque rise of 40%, it excels in high-load operations, making it ideal for heavy-duty implements. The engine peak torque of 1732 Nm at 1600 rpm provides excellent pulling power, essential for challenging agricultural conditions or large-scale farming operations, although careful consideration of this power output is necessary to prevent overstressing the drivetrain.

TRANSMISSION
The John Deere 8RT 370 tractor features a standard e23 PowerShift transmission with Efficiency Manager, enabling smooth power transitions at a maximum speed of 40 km/h (24.9 mph), optimizing fuel consumption during operation. An optional AutoPowr IVT offers seamless variable control from 0.05 to 42 km/h (0.03-26 mph), providing enhanced precision for varied field conditions. The choice of transmission directly impacts productivity; while e23 offers robust performance for standard tasks, AutoPowr is ideal for demanding applications requiring fine speed adjustments.
