What the 4320 is used for
The 4320 was built for heavy tillage, large PTO implements, and demanding drawbar work. Its output filled the Deere lineup gap between the 4020 and the larger 4520/4620 models.
Closed-center hydraulics, up to three valves, an independent PTO, and a Category II hitch make it capable with substantial period equipment. It is physically large and powerful, so confirm that implement, transport, and storage needs match the tractor.
Why the John Deere 4320 stands out
Often described as a 4020 with turbocharged power, the 4320 also received engine and final-drive upgrades. Deere built 21,485, and it was available with open station, optional two-post ROPS/canopy, or optional cab equipment.
Buying a used John Deere 4320
Verify the serial plate at the rear of the transmission case and confirm whether the tractor is 2WD or the optional HFWD 4WD version. Test turbocharger condition, cold starting, clutch and all eight gears, hydraulic response and remote valves, PTO, wet brakes, steering, and final drives; also inspect cab or ROPS condition and avoid assuming optional equipment was factory-installed without documentation.
