The John Deere 9430T is almost exactly identical to the John Deere 9430, except for one crucial difference. Instead of having tractor tires, the JD 9430T has tracks. As you can probably guess, the main benefit of having tracks is that you will have better traction when pulling very heavy loads. The engine powering this tractor is the same as the engine on the regular JD 9430. It’s made in house by JD and produces 425 hp which is then transferred to the wheels via a PST (PowerShift Transmission giving the tractor 18 gears traveling forwards and 6 for reversing. The engine is kept cool thanks to a Vari-Cool fan system. This system adjusts the speed of the fan depending on the cooling requirements of the engine. So if the engine is really hot, the fan will be working double time, while if the engine is fairly cool, then the fan won’t be spinning quite as fast.

There are a number of useful attachments that are compatible with the John Deere 9430T tractor. These include a rotating beacon light that warns people of the presence of the tractor, warning lights and a radar that measures true ground speed. The 3 12 volt batteries used to start the engine are recharged via a 200 amp alternator.

The John Deere 9430T features the very useful FieldCruise technology that allows the operator to accurately control the speed of the tractor. The JD 9430T comes with either a 4N/3 or a 4/4N hitch that has a maximum lifting capacity of 7289 kg (16,070 lbs). The total weight of the machine is 19,504 kg (43,000 lbs) which is truly very big, making it one of the heaviest JD tractors. If you are looking for a bigger model than this one, then you may interested in checking out the John Deere 9530T which is both bigger and more powerful.
