The John Deere 2720 tractor is part of the 2000 Twenty series, known for its versatility, durability, and advanced features. This compact utility tractor is designed for both professional landscapers and homeowners with significant property maintenance needs.
The John Deere 2720 is equipped with a Yanmar 3-cylinder diesel engine, providing 31.4 horsepower at 2,500 RPM. The engine is known for its efficiency, reliability, and smooth operation. It offers ample power for a variety of tasks, including mowing, tilling, and loader work.
The tractor features a hydrostatic transmission, which provides seamless and variable speed control without the need for clutching. This is particularly advantageous for operators who need to change speeds frequently or perform tasks that require precise control, such as loader work or maneuvering in tight spaces.
The John Deere comes with a powerful hydraulic system, offering a maximum lift capacity of 1,100 pounds at the 3-point hitch. This makes it suitable for a wide range of attachments, from backhoes to rotary cutters. The tractor is equipped with a mid and rear PTO (power take-off), which allows it to operate various implements like mowers, tillers, and snow blowers.
One of the key strengths of the John Deere is its compatibility with a wide range of John Deere and third-party attachments. This includes front loaders, backhoes, mid-mount mowers, and various 3-point hitch implements. The quick-attach systems make it easy to switch between different tasks, enhancing the tractor’s versatility.
Built with robust materials and high-quality components, the John Deere 2720 is designed to last. Routine maintenance is straightforward, with easy access to service points, which helps ensure the tractor remains in optimal condition with minimal downtime.
