John Deere has hardly been discouraging the rumour mill with regard to the launch of its latest range of tractors – the 6M series, which has just been officially revealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The series now offers 17 models in total, 10 of which provide 150hp or more, while the smallest, model in the range, the 95, weighs in with 105hp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company has taken a good long look at this sector of the market which, in Europe at least, accounts for the major part of the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new range can be considered a form of consolidation, bringing mid power sector under one umbrella, leaving the smaller hobby farm tractors and the larger muscle machines to specific designations of their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6M frame size <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

John Deere has also helped simplify choice by dividing the series into frame size, as well as just power output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the rapid increase in power density of engines the actual power output may not be as critical as to whether a tractor will fit into a shed or not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

150hp is now available in a tractor that is of the same size as a 100hp model of a decade ago, but it may not actually be required to perform the function intended, elevating the size of a tractor to equal importance as that of its power is welcome move by manufacturers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To underline this new direction in explaining the model line up to the market the latest additions include the high-horsepower 4-cylinder 6M 150 and the upgraded 6M 145 with six cylinders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 6M 150 provides five extra horsepower from two fewer cylinders than the 6M 145 and is 18.5cm shorter, yet there will still be a demand for a stable six cylinder tractor at this rating, so Deere provided one in the new line up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two engines, 17 power ratings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All tractors are equipped with a 4.5 or 6.8L engine, and all models offer an additional 20hp above the rated power, with Intelligent Power Management (IPM) system in transport or PTO applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A broad range of transmission choices, from the well-proven and still popular mechanical PowrQuad<\/a> Plus to the stepless AutoPowr technology, ensuring that the tractors will meet the needs of all customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new 6M tractors come with with a rear-hitch lift capacity of between 5.7t to 9.9t, depending on model, the pressure and flow-compensated hydraulic system delivers from 114 to 195L\/minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new series offers a broad portfolio of axles and tyre options, including flange and rack-and-pinion axles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These options are said to enhance versatility and productivity and contribute to reduced soil compaction.<\/p>\n\n\n
