The new small-frame 6110R, 6120R and 6130R offer the enhanced versatility and performance, comfort and control of any tractors in the 110 to 130 engine horsepower range.
According to Kory Ross, product manager for mid-tractors at John Deere, the new small-frame tractors are designed with many of the hydraulic, control and comfort features of the larger tractors, but offer the maneuverability and compactness many customers want to more easily handle a wide variety of chores.
“The new small-frame tractors have additional selective control valves, which have been moved further under the cab to improve visibility to the drawbar,” Ross explains. “Customers can choose up to five SCVs or four SCVs plus Power Beyond, giving them the added hydraulic capacity to perform more functions, and we’ve added a hose disengagement lever to make it easy to uncouple hoses under pressure.”
The cab environment and control features have also been updated in the small-frame tractors, giving them more commonality with the larger 7R, 8R and 9R Series tractors. The small-frame 6Rs equipped with popular IVT transmissions come with the CommandArm and Generation 4 CommandCenter Display for convenient fingertip access to controls and monitors. These tractors also have AutoTrac capabilities and come with a 30-degree, right-hand swivel seat for enhanced operator comfort and visibility to the rear implements.
“And we’ve added new hood latch-and-lift mechanisms to make servicing the tractors much easier, and increased service intervals up to 750 hours to improve uptime. That means less frequent oil changes and lower operating cost as DEF usage is reduced to 3 percent of fuel usage,” says Ross.
