John Deere’s 7310R tractor has set a new fluid efficiency record for high-horsepower Stage IIIB and Stage IV tractors in the demanding Powermix test at Germany’s DLG test centre.
With an average of only 258g/kWh total fluid consumption (249g diesel and 9g AdBlue) across all the Powermix field cycles, the 7310R has now set a standard that will help customers to significantly reduce their operating costs.
Farmers and contractors carrying out a high level of road transport applications will benefit from the 7310R’s performance, as also reflected in the recently published DLG Transportmix test. Measurements taken at the DLG test centre recorded a fluid consumption of only 462g/kWh, compared to an average of 605g/kWh for all the Stage IIIB and Stage IV machines tested so far in this horsepower segment.
According to John Deere, the 7310R’s test results reflect that excellent fluid efficiency is the result of several factors, based on optimised engine technology that combines a diesel exhaust filter, series turbochargers, selective catalytic reduction and a higher fuel injection pressure to achieve Stage IV compliant combustion quality.
Complemented by the new e23 transmission offering 23 forward and 11 reverse speeds, this makes John Deere 7R Series tractors among the most efficient in the industry.
