John Deere 7710 Troubleshooting
The
John Deere 7710 row-crop tractor was manufactured from 1997 to 2003. The JD 7710
tractor is powered by John Deere 6081T 4-stroke 6-cylinder direct injection
turbocharged diesel engine with a maximum output power of 155 hp (115.6 kW) and
708 Nm (522 lb-ft) of peak torque at 1400 rev/min.
The John Deere 7710 is fitted with a 3 types of transmission. 1st type:
16x16 PowrQuad partial powershift transmission. 2nd type: 19x7
PowerShift transmission. 3rd type: 20x20 AutoQuad transmission. Maximum
travel speed (forward/reverse): 23.6 mph (38 km/h).
The closed-center, pressure and flow compensated hydraulic system used a
variable displacement axial-piston pump with a flow of 26 gal/min (98.4
l/min). The hydraulic pressure is 200 bar (2900 psi). The 2-wheel drive
models are equipped with 11.0x16 front tires and 18.4x38 rear tires. The
14.9x28 front tires and 18.4x38 rear tires are used for tractors with
4-wheel drive. The wheel base is 114.4" (2900 mm) for 4x2 (2WD) models
and 110.2" (2790 mm) for 4x4 (4WD) models.
