Engine

The John Deere 5405 Crdi tractor engine is a powerful and efficient machine designed for optimal performance. Manufactured by John Deere, the engine boasts a 3-cylinder, 4-stroke design, incorporating turbocharging and liquid cooling systems. It operates on common rail direct injection technology, ensuring precise fuel delivery and improved fuel efficiency. With a maximum torque of 211 Nm at the rated speed and a horsepower of 62 at the flywheel, this engine delivers exceptional power. Its bore*stroke measures 106.5*110 mm, resulting in an exact displacement of 2939.71 CC. The engine’s rated RPM is 2100, while the tachometer indicates a maximum engine RPM of 3000. Although specific data regarding SFC (Specific Fuel Consumption) is unavailable, this engine is known for its economical fuel usage. It has an idle RPM range of 850 -50/+25 and a maximum idle RPM of 2200 +50/-25. The compression ratio stands at 16.9:1, further enhancing its performance. The working RPM range spans from 900 to 2100, ensuring optimal operational efficiency. Valve clearances are set at 0.36 mm for the inlet valve and 0.46 mm for the exhaust valve, both measured in cold conditions. The John Deere 5405 Crdi tractor engine is a reliable and capable powerhouse, suitable for various agricultural applications.

Transmission

This tractor is equipped with a dual clutch system, with each clutch having a diameter of 280 mm. The transmission options include a standard 9F + 3R configuration, which can be enhanced with an optional creeper for added versatility. Another optional transmission is the 12F + 4R, offering even more gears for specific needs. The clutch paddle free play is set between 25 to 28 mm, ensuring smooth engagement. Overall, the transmission type is Syncshuttle, providing efficient and reliable performance.

Power reverser is the another option in the tractor’s transmission and gear speed for that is here:

Hydraulics

Tyre size & pressure according to conditions

When it comes to the John Deere tractor’s tires, proper inflation is essential for optimal performance in various conditions. The front tires, such as the 6.50*20 with 8PR and F2 thread or the 11.2*24 with 8PR and R1 thread, require different pressures depending on the load. Without heavy loads, a pressure of 20 psi is recommended, while with ballast or heavy equipment, the pressure should be set at 12 psi for the 6.5020 tire and 26 psi for the 11.2*24 tire. On the other hand, the rear tire, specifically the 16.9*30 with 12 PR and R1 thread, should be inflated to 14 psi without heavy loads and 19 psi with ballast or heavy equipment. Following these recommended tire sizes and pressures according to the conditions ensures optimal traction, stability, and longevity for the John Deere tractor, allowing farmers to work efficiently and effectively in diverse farming environments.

Water ballasting

To avoid wheel slippage you can add extra cast weigh to the tractor (each plate of 48 kg) to rear wheels.

However, water ballasting is the another best way to avoid wheel slippage but before doing water ballasting there are some point on which you should pay attention:

• There should be 75% water in each tyre and 25% air which best ratio to avoid abnormal pull & push in tyres and provides tractor good traction.
• In case of extreme cold situation (temperature less than 0°C) mix Calcium carbide in water in such a way that there should be 400 gram of CC in 1 liter of water which will decrease freezing point of water. Here is a table to better understand about water ballasting.
