John Deere 2305
The John Deere 2305 is a small but mighty utility tractor, perfect for tasks around farms and large properties. It's a sub-compact model with four-wheel drive, making it easy to maneuver in tight spaces. This tractor was made from 2006 to 2011, so it's a newer model with modern features. The 2305 has a Yanmar diesel engine with three cylinders. It can produce 24 horsepower, which is on the lower end for tractors but plenty for its size. The engine runs at a very high 3000 rpm, giving it good power for its small frame. This tractor has a hydrostatic transmission, which means it's smooth and easy to operate with infinite forward and reverse speeds. It has a Category I Limited hitch in the back that can lift up to 1433 pounds, which is about average for its size. The tractor also has a power take-off (PTO) that can run at 540 rpm, useful for powering attachments.
