The John Deere 8335RT tractor is a part of the 8RT series of tracks that all have tracks instead of wheels. The JD 8335RT is very similar to the John Deere 8335R. This is mainly because they both have the same engine. This engine is the John Deere manufactured PowerTech PSX model. This engine has 4 valves per cylinder and 6 cylinders. The engine has a rated RPM of 2100 and is obviously powered by diesel. The engine has a dual turbochargers that use cooled exhaust gas recirculation. The engine has a total size of 9 liters and fires at a compression ratio of 16:1. The engine uses a full pressure lubrication system that has a capacity to hold up to 25 liters of oil.

The liquid cooled engine on the John Deere 8335RT has the choice of 2 different transmissions. One is a John Deere AutoPowr infinitely variable transmission that does not require constant gear changing, while the other is a JD PowerShift transmission that gives the tractor 16 gears for traveling forward and 4 for reversing. The great thing about JD 8335RT having tracks instead of tires means that it is able to execute zero radius turns with ease.

There are both advantages and disadvantages to the John Deere 8335RT when compared to the John Deere 8335R. The advantages are that it’s much more stable on inclines as well as having better traction over a wide variety of surfaces. However not everything about the JD 8335RT is rosy. One major drawback is that the tracks cause the tractor to vibrate fairly heavily when it’s traveling over very hard ground (such as asphalt or concrete). If you are after a larger model in the 8RT series, then take a look at the John Deere 8360RT, while the John Deere 8310RT is a smaller, less powerful model.
