NEW
FOR ’B6
Now there’s an all-purpose tractor
with the power and size of the classic
4020... the 95-hp 3150
Some 21 years since its introduction,
the classic John Deere 4020 still main
tains its lofty position as the best all
purpose, under 100-hp tractor to ever
turn a furrow.
But farming today may require even
more. More fuel efficiency, more
lugging power and state-of-the-art
operator comfort. With these demands
in mind, John Deere introduces the
new all-purpose 3150 Tractor with
Caster/Action™ MFWD.
The new 3150 and 4020 are the same
horsepower and have almost the same
dimensions. But a 6-cylinder, 359-
cubic-inch, naturally aspirated engine
allows the 3150 to produce 95* PTO hp
from less fuel. In fact, factory tests
indicate the 3150 Tractor is about 5
percent more fuel efficient than the
4020.
And while the 3150 develops the same
horsepower as the 4020, it actually has
more torque reserve than the classic.
It’s better able to handle varying loads
in the field and forms a perfect team
with the 16-speed TSS (top-shaft-
synchronized) Hi-Lo transmission

TSS has twice as many speeds as the
4020 and hydraulic Hi-Lo lets you
better utilize them. The Hi-Lo gives
you a no-clutch, power shift on-the-go
under load within each gear. And
synchronized shifting allows you to
shift on the go with light or medium
loads.
The 4020 was nimble in the field, but
didn’t come with front-wheel drive as
standard equipment. The new 3150
features Caster/Action MFWD for
terrific traction. And even with MFWD
the 3150 has the agility to “turn on a
dime.” Like its predecessor, the 3150 is
the right size to swing in and out of tight
places. And it does! The main reason
it’s such a good handling tractor is the
patented pivot-axis of Caster/Action.
The steering knuckle is tilted to the
rear for an exclusive 12-degree caster
angle. This lets the top part of the
inside wheel lean away from the
tractor during a turn while the lower
part angles under the frame. There’s
more wheel clearance so you can turn
tighter almost as tight as a 4020.
