John Deere is introducing three new, more-compact models to both its 6M and 6R Series tractor ranges. Built at Mannheim, the new 6MC and 6RC tractors have been designed specifically for medium-size arable, livestock and mixed farms.
The new 6090MC (90hp rated), 6100MC (100hp rated) and 6110MC (110hp rated) models are equipped with smooth, highly efficient PowrQuad Plus transmissions and Stage IIIB compliant 4.5-litre four-cylinder PowerTech PWX engines. Using field-proven technologies to meet the latest emissions standards, these fuel efficient diesel-only engines feature exhaust gas recirculation, a variable-geometry turbocharger and an exhaust filter. This last component includes a diesel oxidation catalyst and a diesel particulate filter.
The 6MC tractors feature a 2.4m wheelbase for stability and versatility, while an optional low-profile cab allows easy access to small buildings. The tractors’ durable full frame is specifically designed to accept front loaders such as the John Deere H310 or H340. These are available in non self-levelling, mechanical self-levelling and hydraulic self-levelling versions, with a wide variety of loader attachments.
With up to four mechanical spool valvess, the closed-centre pressure and flow-compensated hydraulic system provides quick response times and a lift capacity of up to 5,600kg. It’s available with a 65- or 80-lit/min capacity pump. These tractors also feature a fuel-efficient 540/540E/1,000rpm PTO plus a comfortable cab with 320-degree visibility and low noise levels.

John Deere’s 6110RC heads brand’s new compact offering of 6R tractors. |
John Deere’s 6090RC (90hp rated, 100hp with boost), 6100RC (100hp rated, 110hp boost) and 6110RC (110hp rated, 120hp boost) tractors represent the premium version of this new line of more-compact tractors. Supplied by a massive 205-litre fuel tank, the John Deere PowerTech PWX 4.5-litre Stage IIIB diesel-only engines are also equipped with Intelligent Power Management.
Operator comfort is enhanced by the tractors’ 2.4m wheelbase and triple-link suspension front axle, while tyre sizes of up to 600/65R38 help apply the available power to the ground. Increased levels of comfort as well as a higher degree of implement control through automation are provided by John Deere’s iTEC Basic, GreenStar and Isobus precision farming options.
The three powershift transmission choices, PowrQuad Plus, AutoQuad Plus and AutoQuad Plus EcoShift, provide smooth gear changes on the move, assisted by a standard declutch button. Thanks to the newly available EcoShift mode, engine rpm is automatically reduced when reaching high speeds. These reliable and efficient transmission options help to further reduce fuel consumption on these tractors.
Other features include a pressure- and flow-compensated hydraulic system providing up to 114 lit/min, with 37 lit/min available for implement operation, plus an optional ex-factory front PTO and front hitch with a lift capacity of 3,000kg.
John Deere’s new 6RC and 6MC Series tractors will be available from November 2013.
