John Deere 955 Features

Engine

Do you want to know how the JD 955 tractor is able to carry out such a sizable quantity of work? It accomplishes this with a potent 33-horsepower Yanmar 3TN84RJ diesel engine.

A liquid cooling system and a four-stroke design with three cylinders keep the engine from overheating and breaking down.

Transmission And Underpinnings

The John Deere 955’s chassis is set up as a 44 MFWD 4WD. It has a Sundstrand series 17 transmission model and employs a hydrostatic transmission technique.

What about its control over direction? You will have a lot of control over the motorcycle thanks to its hydraulic power steering.

The differential hydraulic wet disc brake on this car, in contrast, keeps an eye on this control.

Tires

One of the many disadvantages of owning a big tractor like this one is the tires.

They are frequently too big and difficult, causing your tractor to mark your field all over. The tires support the tractor, which is 907 kg in weight.
