The John Deere 2130/2180 is a tractor produced in 1979. It belongs to the category of agricultural tractors and was developed by the well-known manufacturer John Deere. This model represents a specific product group within the company's portfolio, tailored to the requirements of agricultural practices at the time. The design follows the typical characteristics of this vehicle class, with a focus on transmitting drive power to the wheels.
The technical equipment includes a four-cylinder engine with a displacement of 3,910 cm³, delivering an output of 55 kW. This engine configuration enables the operation of mounted implements and the handling of field work of medium intensity. The curb weight of 3,340 kg ensures stable stability, while the gross vehicle weight rating of 4,500 kg defines the maximum load capacity. The dimensions of 3,650 mm in length and 2,370 mm in width determine maneuverability in the field and transportability on the road. The eight available gears provide a speed gradation relevant for various working speeds during soil cultivation or transport.
In the classification of the series, the tractor occupies a defined position. The next smaller model offers lower output, while the next larger model is equipped with higher performance data. The range between these models illustrates the gradation within the series. This size class is suitable for work requiring moderate traction. The combination of weight and power allows for use in typical farm and field operations without being oversized. The number of gears supports adaptation to different soil conditions and speed requirements in daily operation.
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.
