JOHN DEERE
Three-Cylinder Tractors

When One More or Less Was Just Right

Above: A JD380 Forklift with gasoline engine, working through the mud with a load of lumber. Note the massive counterweights on the rear of the tractor.

Right: The duties for this JD380 Forklift were a little easier… Gasoline engines were available for the JD380 through 1978.

Above: From primary tillage to haying chores, 830 Tractors could fill any job that needed 35 responsive horsepower, such as pulling the 1207 Mower Conditioner shown here.

Left: When equipped with turf tires and a six-foot center-mounted rotary mower, an 830 could make short work of mowing roadsides, cemeteries, golf courses, industrial sites — even the acreage of a current-day collector.

Above: Picking up after the mower is a JD302 Turf Tractor pulling a leaf-clippings rake and collection unit.

Right: For loading chores on firm ground, the JD301-A Turf Loader was an ideal unit.
