John Deere Launches 6R Series Tractors with More Versatility and Power
New 105, 115 and 125 engine HP models have more comfort, power, features
The new 6R Series Tractors are designed to be a do-it-all utility tractor.
OLATHE, Kansas (February 6, 2012) –John Deere is expanding its
lineup of 6R Series Tractors with three new highly-versatile models
perfect for the farm or ranch. The three new models include the 6105R
with 105 engine horsepower; 6115R with 115 engine horsepower; and the
6125R with 125 engine horsepower—all in a premium package that replaces
the 6030 Premium Tractors.
According to Scott Hessel, product marketing manager with John Deere,
the new 6R Series Tractors are designed to be a do-it-all utility
tractor with the versatility, power and comfort never before seen in a
tractor in this horsepower range.
"We've made the cab 20 percent larger and added the GreenStar 3
Command Center with touchscreen display," says Hessel. "We've also
included Triple Link and Adaptive Hydraulic Cab suspension to make the
new 6R models the most comfortable and easy-to-operate tractors in their
class. In addition, we've increased the hydraulic lift capacity by 20
percent and added new 50K (31 mph) transmission options that give this
spacious utility tractor the functions of a much larger machine."
All three 6R models come standard with John Deere 4.5L PowerTech PVX
Interim Tier 4 diesel engines with Intelligent Power Management that
provides an additional 20 hp during transport and non-stationary PTO
applications. Transmission options include a 24-speed AutoQuad Plus ECO
Transmission (standard), or 16-speed PowerQuad Plus (optional), or IVT
Transmissions (optional). IVT and AutoQuad Plus configurations are
available with up to 50K (31 mph) transport speed.
The compact design of the new tractors, combined with the power,
comfort and control features, make these 6R models a perfect match with
new H-Series Loaders and hundreds of other John Deere and Frontier
attachments. The tractors also come with Cat. 2/3N lift capacity, Cat.
2drawbar, three lighting package options and two-wheel drive and
mechanical front-wheel drive configurations.
"The new 6R Series Tractors have row-crop tractor features with
utility tractor functionality and versatility, which makes them ideal
for almost any farm, livestock operation, or property maintenance job,"
Hessel adds. "These 105 to 125 horsepower models expand our lineup of
the 6R Series that we introduced in 2011 and give customers a wider
range of tractors to choose from based on their needs."
The new John Deere 6105R, 6115R and 6125R Tractors will be available at
local John Deere dealers starting later this summer.
