Axle choices

Put more power to the ground. You can with a new 8030 Series Tractor equipped with MFWD and exclusive front Independent Link Suspension (ILS).
Independent research* proves ILS with front duals can boost productivity by 10 percent in primary and secondary tillage applications. That means you can finish more acres in less time. Another benefit of ILS is that it can reduce wear and tear on your tractor and can lower your ownership costs throughout the life of the machine. ILS is standard equipment on the 8430 and 8530 - optional on other 8030 Series Wheeled Tractors. ILS puts more power to the ground and lets you work more acres per day with enhanced operator comfort. You get an industry best 10 inches of suspension travel that provides a super-smooth ride. This helps decrease wear and tear on your tractor and puts more tractor power to the ground. It's exclusive John Deere technology that helps you work at faster speeds with less operator fatigue.

John Deere mechanical front wheel drive (MFWD) is standard on the 8230 and 8330. It's optional on the 8130 and 8430. John Deere MFWD gives you more drawbar pulling power in all operating conditions for higher levels of productivity. Plus, MFWD provides increased traction with lower tractor ballast. This minimizes soil compaction and helps increase fuel efficiency. The 5° caster angle of the MFWD axle lets you make tight turns, even with narrow 60 inch tread spacing's. A high pivot point axle mounting allows the front axle to oscillate 9° before contacting the axle stops. This helps the wheels maintain better ground contact. MFWD has electro hydraulic, automatic engagement, or you can also manually engage or disengage the MFWD on the go if needed.

Multiple axle choices ensure you get just the right tractor to best match your equipment.

The large MFWD axle housing provides strength and stiffness. Two tow eyes are mounted to the axle front for easy access.

The 2-Wheel-Drive 8130 features adjustable tread options from 60 to 88 inches wide depending on tire size.
