John Deere 4200
The John Deere 4200 is a utility tractor made from 1998 to 2001. It's a small but useful machine for farms and big yards. This tractor has a 2WD setup and power steering, making it easy to drive. Under the hood, there's a Yanmar diesel engine with three cylinders. It's not very powerful compared to other tractors, but it gets the job done with 26.3 hp. The engine is liquid-cooled and runs at a very high 2700 rpm. The tractor has a 9-speed forward and 3-speed reverse transmission. It also has a three-point hitch at the back that can lift up to 2198 lb, which is above average for its size. The tractor is 116.9 inches long, 53 inches wide, and 81 inches tall. It weighs 2425 lb, which is on the lighter side for tractors. This John Deere model comes with some handy features. It has a differential lock to help in slippery conditions. There's an option for a PTO (Power Take-Off) that runs at 540 rpm, good for using different tools. The tractor has a two-post ROPS for safety and wet disc brakes. It's a solid choice for small farms or large properties that need a reliable, compact tractor.
