John Deere 7810 Troubleshooting

The John Deere 7810 is a 2WD or 4WD row-crop tractor from 7010 series. This model was manufactured between 1997 and 2003. The JD 7810 tractor is powered by 496 cubic (8.1 L) John Deere 6081T 6-cylinder turbocharged direct injection diesel engine. The engine has a cylinder bore of 4.56" (116 mm), piston stroke of 5.06" (129 mm), and rated power of 175 hp (130.5 kW).

The John Deere 7810 is fitted with three types of transmission: 16x16 PowrQuad partial powershift transmission, 20x20 AutoQuad planetary gears transmission, or PowerShift transmission with 19 forward and 7 reverse gears.

The maximum travel speed (forward/reverse): 23.6 mph (38 km/h). The closed center pressure/flow compensated hydraulic system includes a variable displacement axial piston pump with a rated capacity of 26 gpm (98.4 lpm). The main relief pressure is 200 bar (2900 psi). The 2WD models are equipped with 11.00x16 front tires and 18.4R38 rear tires. The 14.9R28 front tires and 18.4R38 rear tires are used for 4WD tractors. The wheel base is 114.4" (2900 mm) for 2-wheel drive models and 110.2" (2790 mm) for 4-wheel drive models.
