The John Deere 1640-4X4/2280 is a tractor belonging to the group of agricultural utility vehicles, manufactured in 1984. As a model within this series, it represents a specific configuration within the manufacturer's product portfolio. Its classification as a tractor defines its primary application areas in soil cultivation and transport. The production year marks the time of manufacture, with the technical equipment tailored to the requirements of that period.

The machine is equipped with a four-cylinder engine with a displacement of 3,920 cm³, delivering an output of 63 kW. This power level enables the towing of medium-sized mounted implements and the handling of typical field tasks. The unladen weight of 3,130 kg ensures stable stability, while the permissible gross weight of 4,600 kg defines the maximum operational limit. With a length of 3,600 mm and a width of 2,370 mm, the tractor falls within a range that remains manageable both in the field and on paved roads. The eight available gears provide a basic gear ratio spread for varying speed requirements during driving.

Based on the available data, a direct comparison with other models in the series is lacking to determine an exact ranking. Therefore, the focus is on the typical application areas of this machine group. Tractors of this size are particularly suitable for farms requiring a combination of field work and light transport. The four forward gears and four reverse gears allow for flexible adaptation to various working speeds. The all-wheel-drive design supports traction on uneven terrain, thereby expanding operational possibilities in daily practice.

John Deere – other models: 2000 to 7000-series tractors alongside Gator utility vehicles, 6.2 to 186 kW, one- to six-cylinder engines

This collective page gathers John Deere vehicles outside the named series and combines two very different vehicle types: classic farm tractors from the 2000 to 7000 series (2130, 3050, 4650, 6810, 7430, 7930) and the small Gator utility vehicles (Gator TX, Gator HPX, Gator XUV 550 to XUV 865M), designed as off-road transporters rather than tractors. Both vehicle types end up on the same collective page because neither was assigned to its own named range.

The register lists 58 versions from 6.2 to 186 kW with one- to six-cylinder engines of 286 to 7,640 cm³. Unladen weights range from 430 to 10,000 kg and gross weights from 740 to 13,450 kg – the lower end matching the light Gator vehicles, the upper end the large four-wheel-drive tractors.

John Deere ranks among the largest farm equipment makers worldwide; while the tractor ranges form the core of the agricultural business, the Gator models cover a separate market for transport and estate tasks around the farm as off-road utility vehicles.

On the farm tractors, the transmission, hydraulic pump and, on 4X4 models, the front axle are the first checks. On the Gator vehicles, the drive belt (CVT), brakes and frame corrosion are the typical wear points. Spares for both vehicle types flow through the John Deere dealer network, one of the densest service structures in the industry.

What to check before buying

  • Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
  • Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
  • Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
  • Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
  • Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
