sold in last yearGeneral overview
John Deere 400 is a rotary tiller attachment from John Deere designed for cultivated row-crop work. It is intended for crust-busting and weed control in moderate residue conditions, not heavy-residue tillage. The model requires 397 kW (540 hp) at the PTO and has a 9,140 mm (30 ft) working width.
Depth control is managed through 3-point hitch height and leveling, gauge wheels, and spring tension/down-pressure on hoe arms where equipped. Those features support uniform tillage depth across broad field passes and help the John Deere 400 maintain consistent soil engagement in prepared row-crop fields over time for repeated soil-conditioning work.
