As we rumble through the crop harvesting season, John Deere’s large agricultural equipment is likely a common sight in certain areas of the country. However, aside from crop production, we understand there are still many other year-round tasks and chores to complete around the farm, ranch, or worksite.
For a piece of equipment that’s easy to handle and was born to help complete these projects, property owners should take a look at the John Deere 6D Series. Let’s take a look at some of the 6D’s features that make it a sensible tractor that’s ready to work hard for no-nonsense operations.
Simple Cab and Control Features
The cab and control features inside John Deere 6D tractors are designed to be very easy to use. Critical controls (PTO engagement, range and gear selectors, and hitch and SCV levers) can be found on the operator’s right side to allow for one-hand access. PTO can be activated by the push of a button, and on the dash, operators will find indicator lights for the parking brake and MFWD system. Tilt-and-telescope steering and outstanding visibility make it a very east to control machine.
Open Operator Station
The 6D Series, in its natural form, is best-suited for work in moderate climates, where most of the chores will be done in fair weather. Both of Deere’s 6D open-station offerings (105 and 115 hp) include standard features like a folding, two-post RollGard roll-over protection system, uncluttered operator environment, and clear views in all directions. Of course, additions like a sun canopy, ROPS-mounted worklights, and much more can be added to make it your own.
Power to Get the Job Done
The 6D Series draws it power from PowerTech PVX and PWX 4-cylinder 4.5L engines. These engines provide enough power to till, mow, rake, bale, lift, load, and more. When it comes time for periodic machine service or maintenance, the 6D is extremely easy to attend to with access to the oil filter, air filter and water separator, all at the operator’s fingertips.
