Available from February 2010 in both Premium and Standard versions, John Deere’s new 6534 tractor marries a four-cylinder engine to a six-cylinder chassis for more power and improved fuel economy.
This model replaces the 120hp six-cylinder 6530 tractor, and is rated at 125hp, rising to 145hp with Intelligent Power Management (IPM), which generates extra engine power for non-stationary PTO and transport applications.
The 6534 tractor retains all the other main specifications of the 6530 model, including a large 250-litre fuel tank and a lift capacity of 6,748kg.
The design provides excellent power density and a better power to weight ratio, with the long 2.65m wheelbase allowing a maximum permissible weight of 9,500kg. The 6534 can also be matched with high-capacity front loaders from the John Deere 3 Series range, lifting more than 2,000kg to more than 4m.
This new tractor also retains John Deere’s proven full-frame concept, modular transmission and lifelong components such as the Perma Clutch 2. A 24/24 PowrQuad Plus 40km/hr transmission is standard, while AutoQuad Plus or AutoPowr 40 or 50km/hr transmissions are optionally available.
The Tier 3 high-pressure common-rail (HPCR) PowerTech Plus diesel engine on the Premium model is equipped with a variable geometry turbocharger and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) for better fuel efficiency and engine responsiveness.
The Standard engine has the same HPCR fuel injection system, but without VGT, EGR and IPM. This engine delivers 20% constant power and a 5% power bulge when required.
The cab is rated at 70.6dBA, the quietest on the market, and features optional hydraulic cab suspension. For an easier reach from the steering wheel, the left hand reverser is integrated into the dashboard. To provide the driver with a perfect view of the instrument panel from any position, the whole dashboard can be moved telescopically.
The CommandCenter on the right hand control console is a combination of information centre and set-up monitor in one large, full colour display. For frequently used functions such as the settings for the hitch, engine, transmission, headland management system and hydraulics, there are shortcut keys on the control panel giving quick and direct access for changing the settings.
Those functions which are used less often are featured in a single menu page that can be accessed by pressing a menu button and using the rotating dial. Extra settings can be engaged using programmable hotkeys on top of the CommandCenter, that can also display relevant tractor data.
