John Deere 2510
The John Deere 2510 is a row crop tractor made from 1965 to 1968. It's a 2WD tractor with power steering, making it easy to handle in the fields. The tractor has a partially synchronized transmission with 8 forward gears and 2 reverse gears, giving farmers good control over their speed. Under the hood, the 2510 has a John Deere gasoline engine with 4 cylinders. The engine is naturally aspirated and liquid-cooled, which helps keep it running smoothly. While its displacement is below average at 180.4 ci, it has a very high rated RPM of 2500. This tractor weighs 6200 lb, which is on the lighter side for its class. It comes with a three-point hitch at the back and an independent rear PTO that runs at 540 rpm. Farmers can also add a John Deere 48 loader and a front PTO if they need more versatility.
