Overview

The John Deere 8370RT is a high-performance agricultural crawler tractor powered by a 9.0L 6-cylinder diesel engine producing 370 gross horsepower. Built in Waterloo, Iowa, it features an AutoPowr infinitely variable transmission and a robust hydraulic system with a 60 gpm pump flow and 15,000 lbs of rear lift capacity.

Ideal Applications

Heavy Tillage and Field Prep: With 370 gross horsepower and a Cat 4 drawbar, this crawler is engineered for demanding pull-behind implements requiring high power and traction.

Precision Implement Control: The closed-center load sensing hydraulics and 60 gpm pump flow allow for efficient operation of complex tools using 4 to 6 rear valves.

PTO-Driven Operations: An independent rear PTO providing 308 claimed horsepower makes this model suitable for high-capacity grain carts and large mowers.
