R310 DISC MOWER Mowing FAQs
How wide does the John Deere R310 disc mower cut?
The John Deere R310 cuts a 10.17 ft swath with eight discs and 16 knives. The discs turn at 2,986 rpm, and each disc has two free-swinging knives with two cutting edges for longer use.
What tractor do I need for the John Deere R310 disc mower?
The R310 needs at least 55 PTO hp with a 540 rpm PTO and attaches to a Category 2 3-point hitch. It is quick-hitch compatible and weighs 1,570 lb.
Will the John Deere R310 fit tractors with wide tire spacing?
Yes. The lower hitch pins adjust left or right for an offset range of 4 in., and an optional long hitch pin available through Parts increases the offset to 8 in. for tractors with even wider tire spacing.
How does the John Deere R310 follow the ground?
A heavier flotation spring keeps even ground pressure along the full cutterbar, and the R310 has a cutting arc of +35 to -30 degrees. The hydraulic lift raises the cutterbar to transport without raising the tractor hitch and locks it in place automatically.
How is the John Deere R310 cutterbar protected?
Power reaches the discs through fully enclosed gears running in oil. If an object is struck, the disc drive shaft shears to reduce the chance of internal cutterbar damage, and disc quills are easy to remove from the top of the cutterbar for service. A heavy-duty driveline with overrunning clutch is standard.
