The John Deere 7310R has the power to impress in its tractor class
The new John Deere 7310R makes a strong appearance in the highest performance class of the tractor world above 300 hp. Since fewer performance losses mean greater efficiency and greater towing force, John Deere is able to boast an impressive total efficiency of 95%. Ultimately, the tractors have developed into high-tech agricultural machines that not only offer a cockpit ideal for daily use, but also a computer-supported workstation for the farmer. The 310 hp (max. 340 hp IPM) produced effortlessly by the 9-litre engine provides excellent torque transmission with low fuel consumption in the field. WIKING has managed to faithfully miniaturise the heavy-duty tractor with 11 tonne tare weight. This naturally includes the striking transparency of the cab, which in the original provides a better, more convenient view of the attachments. And there is naturally also an opportunity to have a glimpse of the CommandARM operating console that, in combination with the display, is the tractor’s most important control element. Just as striking is the new light system as, in comparison to the halogen headlamps, the LED work lights will in future achieve a 40% greater field of vision to the side and 10% greater illumination to the rear.
Diverse moveable functions imitate the everyday
The front and rear tyres have a strong, agricultural profile, and the wheels can be exchanged as required. This allows a glimpse of the detailed wheel rim design. The entire lower assembly of the tractor itself is made of metal, as are the engine hood and frame around the engine. The prominent lamps of the engine hood and those around the cab roof and on the rear are inserted. The radiator grille is formed of a separate plastic part. The rear fender is metal, while the front fender is plastic. A glance inside the cockpit provides plenty of scale delight. The same can be said of the highly detailed John Deere engine, hidden away under the foldable engine hood. And of course, the two all-round lights on the cab and the StarFire navigation system on the front of the cab are also part of the 1:32 miniature. The exhaust, rear mirror, ladder and steps, as well as the front weight round off the overall impression. The highly detailed front swing axle also accounts for the mobility of the John Deere 7310R. Naturally, the front axle can be steered, it being connected to the steering movement of the steering wheel in the cockpit. The lower link and top link are moveable front and back. As are the exterior mirrors, as well as the height-adjustable rear coupling. Anyone who wants to check this out in detail simply has to open the left cab door and the rear window to the same angle as the original.
