Use less fuel per hour. Get more hours on every tank. Save thousands of dollars every year.

The John Deere 8430 set the record as the most fuel-efficient1 row-crop tractor ever tested at the Nebraska Tractor Test Lab (NTTL).

Additional Nebraska tests continue to prove John Deere 8030 Series Tractors are more fuel-efficient, deliver more hours per tank of fuel, and require fewer fill-ups per year when compared to similar Case IH Magnum and New Holland T8000 Series Tractors.

Using test results at 75 percent of pull at maximum power, which are considered good overall indicators of performance during typical heavy fieldwork, the NTTL reported the John Deere 8430 is 23 percent more fuel-efficient than the Case IH Magnum 305,2 and the New Holland T8040/TG 305.3

What impact does that have on your bottom line? The John Deere 8430 can use 3 gallons less per hour than the New Holland or Case tractors. Say you put 700 hours a year on your tractor and spend $3.50 for a gallon of diesel. You could save $6,590 in fuel with the John Deere 8430 over the New Holland, and $7,374 over the Case IH tractors. After five years of ownership, the John Deere 8430 could save you $32,952 over the New Holland, and $36,872 over the Case IH!.

Here's one more advantage: the time you spend in the field versus the time you spend filling the fuel tank. With the John Deere 8430, you can stay in the field 3 hours longer on a single tank4 of fuel than you would with the Case or New Holland tractors. That means your John Deere 8430 could pull a 36-foot field cultivator at 6.5 mph and cover about 65 more acres on a single tank of fuel than the Case or New Holland tractors. And using the 700-hours-a-year theory, you'd fill up 10 times less with the John Deere 8430 than the Case or New Holland tractors.

Twenty-three percent better fuel efficiency! Three gallons less per hour! Three hours more to the tank! That's savings you can add to your bottom line. And that's what makes John Deere tractors the tractors you want.
