ENGINE DETAIL
The John Deere G tractor features a robust 2-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with a displacement of 6.8L, providing an adequate power-to-weight ratio for agricultural tasks. With a low compression ratio of 4.2:1 and a rated RPM of 975, this tractor is engineered for torque delivery at low speeds, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications such as plowing or hauling. However, the hand crank starter may pose a challenge in cold weather conditions or for operators seeking more modern convenience.

JOHN DEERE G TRANSMISSION
The John Deere G tractor features a 4-speed gear transmission, which allows for versatile power management across varying terrain and tasks. This configuration enables operators to efficiently handle field operations while maintaining optimal engine performance, though it may limit speed options compared to models with more gears. Ideal for smaller farming operations or specialty crops, the 4-speed system is effective in applications requiring precise speed control.
MECHANICAL
The John Deere G tractor features a two-wheel drive system, which enhances maneuverability on flat terrains but may limit traction in loose or hilly conditions. Manual steering provides a direct driving experience but requires more physical effort, especially in tight turns. Ideal for small-scale farming tasks, its open operator station promotes comfort during operations but may expose the operator to environmental elements.

JOHN DEERE G TIRES
The John Deere G tractor features Ag front tires sized 24x5/6.00-16, which provide excellent maneuverability and stability for narrow row crop applications. The rear tires, measuring 51.5x7 / 12x38 (13.6), offer superior traction and weight distribution, essential for pulling and tillage tasks. A potential challenge may arise in softer soils, where wider rear tires could induce soil compaction, impacting crop health and yield.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The John Deere G tractor, weighing 5000 lbs (2268 kg), offers a robust stability for various agricultural tasks but may present challenges in maneuverability on soft ground due to its weight and larger tire sizes. The front tires (24x5) provide decent steering control, while the rear tires (51.5x7) facilitate traction and power delivery, advantageous for plowing or towing heavy implements. Overall, this configuration is suited for medium to large farms where heavy-duty tasks are commonplace, but operators should consider soil conditions to avoid compaction.
