James 82D-4X4/2300: a heavy four-wheel-drive tractor unit, a four-cylinder diesel of 3,860 cc, a 13,500 kg permissible gross weight and 5,070 kg unladen weight, built in 1986

The 82D-4X4/2300 is a heavy, four-wheel-drive tractor unit built in 1986. Its four-cylinder diesel engine of 3,860 cc and four-wheel drive point to a machine built for heavy towed loads and varied, including unpaved, ground, well beyond the scale of an ordinary field tractor.

With a permissible gross weight of 13,500 kg and an unladen weight of 5,070 kg, the 82D-4X4/2300 sits in a weight class more usually seen on heavy tractor units used in forestry or construction-site logistics. Its width of 2,360 mm suits a wide, stable chassis for loads of this size.

Tractor units in this weight class with four-wheel drive are used where heavy trailers or fitted equipment must be moved over longer distances and across varied ground, such as in forestry or on construction sites. The large displacement per cylinder points to an engine built for high torque rather than high revs, exactly what heavy towing demands.

Buying a used, heavy four-wheel-drive tractor unit of this kind means paying the closest attention to the drive shafts, axle differentials and transfer gearbox, since these carry the greatest load under full pull. Given the high permissible gross weight, the braking system also deserves a thorough check. Parts for such a rare, heavy tractor unit are generally obtainable only through specialists.

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.
