6R Under the Hood - Powerful 4 cylinder | John Deere

More than ever. Today's four cylinder tractor needs to be the true all rounder on a farm. That's why customers will love the new 6R150. It has more power, larger tires, more payload and more lifting capacity. All in a compact wheelbase and light envelope. The most obvious solution would have been to boost the 6130 Rs output so it delivers more horsepower. But that's only a part of the story. Think of all the load that extra power puts on the components. So we considered all the components in the power flow. That's why we reinforced, for example, the front axle with thicker steering cylinders. To use large tires, we reinforced the rear axle and the rear wheel bolt cycle diameter was increased from 203 to 275 millimeters allowing us to transmit more torque. We also upgraded the hydraulic pump to 155 liters per minute for more performance. With max power of 177 horsepower. With IPM, an empty weight of just 6.5 tons and its 2.58 meters wheelbase, the 6R150 can carry large implements thanks to its 4 ton payload while keeping the agility of a true 4 cylinder tractor. Go smart. Do more.
