The John Deere 9630 tractor is not like any other John Deere machine. It is a colossus. It makes just about any other tractor made by John Deere look like a wimp. Let’s start with the engine… It’s a 543 hp diesel engine made by John Deere. That’s right, 543 hp! The engine uses a variable geometry turbocharger to increase power. The displacement of this engine is 13. 5 liters. As you can imagine, an engine of this size consumes a lot of fuel, so it is good that the fuel tank holds 1, 325 liters of diesel. This model began production in 2007 and is manufactured at JD’s Waterloo, Iowa plant.
The entire tractor is built on an articulated 4×4 chassis that provides control and maneuverability. The John Deere 9630 can choose between 2 transmissions. The first is a PowrShift transmission that provides the tractor with 18 forward gears and 6 when in reverse. The other transmission is a PowrSync gearbox that gives the JD 9630 24 forward speeds and 6 reverse speeds. The hydraulic system you’ll find on the JD 9630 is a closed flow and pressure compensating system which, as you can imagine, requires a huge amount of hydraulic fluid to function at full capacity.
The tractor’s wheelbase is 3. 5 m (137. 5 in), which means its minimum turning radius is quite high at 4. 45 m (14. 6 ft). The weight of the tractor without ballast is 16, 914 kg. When fitted with double wheels, but without ballast, the weight increases to 17, 980 kg. As this tractor is so large and obviously very expensive, many of the figures and stats mentioned above can vary for the simple fact that when you are ordering this new tractor, you are given a ton of customization options, from the engine to thehitch controls and more.
