John Deere 3046R Compact Tractor

Building, mowing, digging, tilling – sunrise to sunset – it’s all in a day’s work. That’s what the 3046R Compact Utility Tractor was made for, premium in every aspect … and literally from ground up.

The 3046R has a new 44.7hp powerful Yanmar 1.6-litre, three-cylinder TNV Series diesel engine that complies with the current requirements for Stage 5 emission standards. It also features a high torque reserve, providing plenty of power under heavy loads.

The 3046R has the latest engine technologies to improve fuel economy, control and accuracy, while also reducing environmental impact as well as operating costs. It features a common rail system (CRS) and an electronic control unit (ECU), which continuously monitors engine conditions and adjusts fuel delivery to ensure optimum performance.

The engine’s new after-treatment system consists of a diesel particulate filter (DPF) and diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), similar to that used successfully on John Deere’s larger agricultural tractors. This operates automatically to produce lower levels of exhaust emissions
and reduced noise levels.

The R series compact tractors are equipped with a new eThrottle function integrated into the established eHydro transmission. This feature is designed make the tractor quieter and more comfortable to use, as well as more fuel efficient. With the simple push of a button, engine speed is conveniently linked to the foot pedal position so that engine rpm and tractor speed can both be increased as the pedal is depressed.

Other advanced technology features on John Deere compact tractors include LoadMatch, MotionMatch and SpeedMatch operating modes for
maximum versatility in a wide range of tractor applications, plus a choice of AutoConnect drive-over rotary mower decks.
