John Deere: 1026R Tractor

The 1026R Tractor features a hydrostatic transmission.

• Fluid under pressure transmits engine power to the drive wheels through a hydraulic pump and motor
• The hydrostatic drive unit functions both as a clutch and transmission
• Twin Touch^TM foot controls allow selecting both speed and direction of travel with a touch of the toe. Ideally suited for jobs where productivity is a must, such as loader or mower applications.
• Infinite ground speeds, even at full throttle, to match the job
• No clutching for fast direction changes
• Faster, easier, and more precise to operate than competitive tractors with treadle pedal design (toe-heel)
• Provides high torque for start up
• Reduces power train shock loads
• Large foot pedals were designed for operator comfort and allow for convenient operation of the tractor
• Transmission has two speeds – high and low range.
• The range lever is located next to the seat, conveniently within reach of the operator
• Lo range allows performing tougher tasks at higher speeds than competitive tractors equipped with a three-range transmission (that is, lo range on 3-speed transaxle is slower than lo range on a 2-speed transaxle)

Durability features include:

• Large forged one-piece trunnion shaft with larger support bearings that reduce vibration and noise.
• Innovative transaxle combines an HST transmission, gear reduction axle, and clutch.
• Pressure side filtration allows using a finer mesh filter (10 micron) than suction filtration systems used on many competitive tractors.
• One pump to supply charge pressure and implement flow. A flow divider splits the flow to various circuits throughout the tractor.
• The transaxle has an oil cooler which provides improved hydraulic cooling performance.

Powerful Interim Tier 4 (IT4)-compliant diesel engine and standard dual mid-selective control valve (SCV)
