Implement Compatibility
Versatility & Capability
From mowing hay to feeding cattle, from preparing fields to planting them, from in the field to on the road, the 7R Tractors can do it all. Impressive hitch-lift capacity, hydraulic flow, SCVs, an integrated front hitch and PTO, and ballasting options let you quickly change from loader work to heavy-duty field work and everything in between.
Integrated front 3-point hitch and PTO
Integrated front hitch and PTO make the 7R Tractors an impressive performer in front-implement applications. The integrated and compact style maintains full maneuverability even with large front tires.
Rear 3-point hitch-lift capacity
Designed with strength and versatility, the rear 3-point hitch has a lift capacity of 15,200 pounds (6,894 kg) and up to 17,300 pounds (7,847 kg) on select models.
Hydraulic capacity
43 gpm/59 gpm (162 lpm/223 lpm) more hydraulic output than models from other manufacturers means you can easily pull implements requiring greater hydraulic demand.
Electrohydraulic SCVs
Get up to six SCVs at the rear of the tractor, based on how you configure the tractor. You can choose between 43- and 59-U.S. gpm flow to suit your needs. The closed-center, pressure-and-flow compensated system provides ample flow, even at lower engine rpm, so you can gear up, throttle back, and still be productive. SCV controls are located on the CommandARM™ and offer adjustable flow rates and timed detents.
Drawbar
Clearly see the drawbar while sitting in the operator’s seat – so you can easily back up and connect to an implement. A Category 3 drawbar with 6,000-pound (2,700 kg) maximum vertical-load capacity comes standard. Or, select the optional 10,000-pound (4,536 kg) vertical-load capacity Cat 4 HD drawbar with 11,000-pound (4,989 kg) capacity for use with grain carts and slurry wagons.
Tire Options
Choose from a wide selection of tires to fit a variety of row-crop, broadacre, and transport applications, including an expanded lineup of Group 48 duals, and Group 49 tire options. Group 49s have a larger diameter and longer footprint for improved traction and reduced compaction when compared to smaller tires of the same section-width and design.
PTO Options
7R Tractors offers two different economy three-speed options with electronic shifting from the CommandCenter™ Display. Choose the 540/540E/1000 or the 540E/1000/1000E option to match your implements and applications. When running in the economy mode, the tractor will produce rated PTO speeds at 1730 engine rpm. The 540- and 1000-rpm speeds allow for standard PTO operations for higher-power requirements within the constant power range. The 540E and 1000E option is good for any application that does not use full tractor power but needs a 540- or 1000-rpm output.
1,000-rpm PTO
An independent, 1 3/4-inch (45 mm) 1000-rpm PTO is available if your operation calls for full-horsepower heavy-PTO applications, such as grain carts, rotovators, and silage choppers. PTO controls are located on the CommandARM™ Console for convenient operation.
540/1,000-rpm PTO
Need the full-horsepower, heavy PTO and also a 1 3/8-in (35 mm) 540/1000-rpm PTO for use with augers, manure spreaders and rotary cutters? This manual, two-speed PTO option has a longer, easier-to-reach external shift lever.
PTO Speed Options
The 7R offers two different economy three-speed options with electronic shifting from the CommandCenter™ Display.
Choose the 540/540E/1000 or the 540E/1000/1000E option to match your implements and applications. When running in the economy mode, the tractor will produce rated PTO speeds at 1730 engine rpm. The 540- and 1000-rpm speeds allow for standard PTO operations for higher-power requirements within the constant power range. The 540E and 1000E option is good for any application that does not use full tractor power but needs a 540- or 1000-rpm output. The 7R Tractors also offer a choice of mechanical or electrical speed-change power take-off (PTO) options to provide the versatility and flexibility needed to satisfy implement demands at this power level. The PTO activation switch is located on the CommandARM™. In addition, PTO engagement modulation is adjustable with the settings located in the CommandCenter™.
1300 Series MFWD Front Axle
This reliable, robust, and durable axle has a high-capacity wet clutch and four-pinion, limited-slip differential that automatically transmits torque to the wheel to assist the tractor in tough or wet conditions. The 1300 Series MFWD axle comes in base on the 7R 210, 7R 230, 7R 250, 7R 270, 7R 290, 7R 310, 7R 330 and the 7R 350.
Triple Link Suspension (TLS™) Plus
The optional TLS Plus is a fully integrated, self-leveling front suspension system available on the 1300 Series MFWD axle. TLS Plus improves traction by keeping the front wheels in contact with the ground and lets you increase field speeds.
Bumps and jolts are absorbed by the system so you can work in comfort. TLS Plus also gives you impressive versatility in farmyards and feed yards as it automatically adjusts to front-end loads for steady performance. TLS Plus is available with a hydraulic differential lock and wet-disk brakes for serious pulling power and heavy-load transport needs. TLS Plus with hydraulic differential lock and wet-disk brakes is standard on the 7R 350.
In the Generation 4 CommandCenter™, the operator is able to select maximum pressure to accommodate for the transfer of heavy loads with minimal front axle movement. When the rear differential lock is engaged or disengaged, the front differential lock is also engaged or disengaged. If one wheel begins to slip, the differential lock can be engaged on-the-go and the axles are hydraulically locked together for maximum traction.
700M Loader
Connect the 700M Loader to your 7R Tractor and turn your tractor into the ultimate versatility machine. Load silage. Move round bales. Clean your feedlots. And more. The 700M is built with the added strength befitting the largest loader in our ag lineup, with mounting frames that are integrated into the tractor frame for a durable connection between the loader and the tractor. Oil lines are routed through the boom arms to protect them from damage. And a mechanical self-leveling linkage helps ensure the load remains at the same angle to the ground.
Your John Deere dealer has plenty of Frontier attachments for the 700M– from buckets to pallet forks and everything in between.
Loader controls are easy to learn – either use the SCV controls on the CommandARM™ Console or equip your tractor with a joystick and tailor control to your task. You can even equip your tractor with a left-hand reverser so you can change direction with your left hand while you keep your right hand on the loader controls for jolt-free loader work.
Go from feeding to mowing in tight places in minimal time. The 700M Loader uses single-point hydraulic and electrical connections, which makes parking the loader fast and easy – without tools, and with virtually no oil loss. The hood guard (standard with loader-ready package) helps protect the hood and grill from falling debris.
31-mph (50 km/h) Transport Option
The 31-mph (50 km/h) option lets you move at faster speeds to haul more throughout the day. It’s available on tractors equipped with the e23™ Transmission or the Infinitely Variable Transmission (IVT™). These tractors also require Triple-Link Suspension (TLS™) Plus with a 1300 Series MFWD axle and brakes, trailer brakes (air or hydraulic), front fenders, and B-speed rated front and rear tires. Row-crop duals are available with 31-mph (50 km/h) transmissions.
