John Deere has announced the launch of the new 6M tractor. The company says this newer version provides farmers and ranchers numerous options on a versatile, dependable tractor.
With 18 different models, engine options from 95 to 250 horsepower, and five frame size options, the 6M tractor can be customized to fit the needs of farms and ranches. It allows farmers to focus on their work because it is fuel-efficient, configurable for numerous jobs, and easy to operate.
“This tractor is the workhorse for many farms and ranches,” said Dennis Ogle, marketing manager for the John Deere midsize tractor line. “The new 6M tractor is bigger, smarter, faster, and more efficient and customizable, making it the go-to tractor for many farms, including dairy and beef operations.”
The 6M tractor provides numerous ways to configure but still has the standard features that make it the workhorse of any farm or ranch. The 6M tractor has just the right size to perform many tasks on the farm with traditional mechanical transmission options or easy-to-use infinitely variable transmission options.
The shortest wheelbase with a sloped hood remains, providing excellent visibility and maneuverability. All 6M cabs also offer visibility around the tractor, making loader work, mowing, and baling easier to complete. In addition, the 6M tractor still has the high front or rear hitch lift capacity that is important for various jobs. Overall, a definite advantage is the service and support of the extensive John Deere dealer network.
“We know farmers and ranchers love simple and reliable tractors to get the important jobs done,” Ogle said. “The 6M tractor delivers with a proven history and more valuable options to cater to each owner’s needs.”
With five frame sizes and 18 models, farmers can work with their John Deere dealer to build the tractor that’s right for their farm.
- Horsepower and chassis: 18 models with five chassis options and horsepower ranging from 95 to 250 hp.
- Intelligent Power Management: Up to 20hp above a model’s rated horsepower in transport and nonstationary PTO applications. This allows the operator to conquer hills when transporting, thick windrows when baling, and more.
- Dual-tire configurations: Rear bar axles and dual-tire configurations are now available for ease of wheel spacing or when more flotation and traction are needed.
Infinitely variable transmission: The transmission option is available across all models and allows for stepless driving.
Higher speed with 50K transmission: Available across the full portfolio of 6M tractors, this feature helps transport speeds, leading to increased efficiency.
Cab package options: New options are available to increase operator comfort and improve productivity.
Scalable precision ag technology: More precision ag available on demand with updated cornerpost display and integrated connectivity.
“Whether you are putting up hay, moving bales, feeding, mowing roadsides, removing snow, or any other tasks, the 6M is the workhorse that can help complete the job,” Ogle said.
