John Deere introduces new 6R Series tractors

Mar 03, 2022

Some of the tractors are equipped with loader technology

Farmers visiting the John Deere exhibit at the National Farm Machinery Show last month had the opportunity to get a first hand look at a new tractor series.

John Deere’s 6R Series includes 10 models ranging from 110 horsepower all the way to 215 horsepower.

Nate Williams, a territory customer support manager with John Deere, showed off the 6R 165 and talked about some of its features.

Equipped with the 640 R loader, the tractor has loader technology.

“There’s a camera down below so you can see those loads right at the bucket,” Williams said.

The loader technology also comes with three additional features.

The ability to weigh a load, the ability to set positions and leveling for operation on uneven ground.

“If you’re rolling through terrain up and down, it’s going to maintain that levelness of that bucket, so you don’t end up losing the load you have,” Williams told Farms.com at the show.

Inside the cab, operators can have a programmable joystick.

And the implement cluster has also moved.

Instead of it being in front of the steering column, it’s on the corner post display for improved visibility.

Be sure to visit the website often as Farms.com will continue to upload content from the National Farm Machinery Show.

Video: Uncover the world of insurance salvage auctions in Canada

What happens to vehicles, farm equipment, machinery and other valuable assets after an insurance claim? They may have more value—and opportunity—than you think.
In this interview, Christine O’Brien, Director of Marketing at Barga, takes us inside the world of insurance salvage auctions and explains how the Saskatoon-based company is making these assets directly accessible to buyers across Canada.
Unlike a traditional auction house, Barga operates primarily online, connecting consumers with a constantly changing selection of insurance salvage sold on an “as is, where is” basis. Buyers can see where an item is located, bid online and, if successful, arrange pickup or shipping.
With new auctions every two weeks, Barga offers much more than farm equipment, with a diverse range of vehicles, machinery, equipment and other unexpected finds coming up for bid.
Christine explains how the auction process works, what buyers should know before bidding, and why insurance salvage can offer some interesting opportunities for Canadians looking for equipment, vehicles or a great deal.
Registration is free, allowing buyers to browse upcoming auctions, watch items that catch their attention and bid when the right opportunity comes along.
