The engine that provides the JD 8260R is a 260 hp PUX POWERTECH engine. This 6-cylinder diesel engine uses double turbochargers that use air-Aire after cooling and engine also recirculates exhaust gases. Motor overheating is avoided thanks to a liquid cooling system that has capacity for up to 41 liters of water. The engine works with a compression ratio of 16: 1. Starting the engine into very cold winter days is quite easy thanks to the option of a cold weather boot kit that includes a motor block heater and a transmission fluid heater.
The power reaches the wheels of the John Deere 8260R through a selection of 2 transmissions: one of them is a Powershift automatic gearshift box of JD that provides the tractor 16 gears forward and 4 marches for the reverse. This provides the JD 8260R for a maximum speed of 42. 2 km/h. The second option is probably the easiest to use. It is an infinitely variable transmission that provides infinite marches to go back and forth. With this transmission, it reaches a maximum speed of 50 km/h.
