John Deere 6R Tractors For Enhanced Work Quality

Mar 19, 2019

To enhance its offering of 6R Tractors, John Deere has added the 6230R and 6250R models to its lineup. These tractors are faster, stronger and smarter and excel in everything from hauling to loader work. The new models are packed full of new levels of power and premium features. Operators who work in hauling hay, forage, and slurry will have no trouble with one of these tractors on hand. Let’s take a look at some of the highlights of these 6R tractors.

CommandCenter Display

The 6230R and 6250R both have Generation 4 CommandCenter displays. These displays give operators all of the information they need to maintain and utilize their machinery throughout the workday. They are also able to spot problems from afar and troubleshoot as soon as possible, reducing downtime and ultimately boosting productivity.

Infinitely Variable Transmission (IVT) System

These tractors have IVT systems, which use a combination of mechanical and hydrostatic power. This means that there is continuous power across an infinitely variable range of speed. It’s easy to operate, and four mechanical modes are designed to reduce fuel consumption and provide optimum performance.

CommandPRO Joystick

The 6230R and 6250R both have an optional CommandPRO joystick that combines a unique driving strategy with 11 reconfigurable controls. Its intuitive design is meant to make operating the machine a breeze.

Rear-Mounted Selective Control Valves (SCVs)

These machines have up to six SCVs or five SCVs plus Power Beyond to control any rear implement. The SCVs can be controlled electrically, and all mechanical and electrical SCVs feature four positions: neutral, raise, lower, and float.

ComfortView Cab

The 6230R and 6250R have ComfortView cabs for the utmost comfort for operators during the workday. These cabs feature a modern, automotive-style instrument panel as base equipment for familiarity. The instrument pod has two large analog dials for engine and tractor speed, in addition to two smaller dials that display fuel level, diesel exhaust fluid, and coolant temperature.

PowerTech PVS/PSS Stage 4 Engine

All John Deere 6R Series Tractors feature PowerTech PVS 6.8L and PSS 4.5L and 6.8L engines. These engines include series turbochargers (PSS) air-to-air after cooling and a variable geometry turbocharger. They also feature a high-pressure common rail fuel system.

Video: Is China Buying US Soybeans + USDA Nov 14th Crop Report could be “Game Changing”

After a week of a U.S./China trade truce, markets/trade is skeptical that we have not seen a signed agreement nor heard much from China or seen any details. There are rumors that China is buying soybean futures & not the physical. Trust in Trump?
12 MMT of U.S. soybean purchases by China by year-end is better than 0 but we all need to give it more time and give it a chance to unfold. China did lower the tariffs on Ag and is buying U.S. wheat and sorghum.
U.S. supreme court could rule against Trumps tariffs, but the Trump administration does have a plan B.
U.S. government shutdown is now the longest in history at 38 days.
But despite a U.S. government shutdown we will be getting a USDA November crop report next Friday and it could be “game changing.” If the USDA provides a bullish surprise with lower U.S. corn and soybean yields and ending stocks that are lower than expected both corn and soybean futures will break out above their ceilings at $4.35/bu and $11.35/bu respectively.
The funds continued their selling in live and feeder cattle futures on continued fears that the Trump administration want to lower U.S. beef prices. The fundamentals have not changed, only market psychology has.
Stocks markets continue to worry about a weak U.S. job market, but you can blame ChatGPT for that. In the future, we will have a more efficient, productive and growing economy with a higher unemployment rate until we have more skilled AI workers.
After 34 new record highs in the S & P 500 and 124 new records in the NASDAQ in 2025 we are back to a correction and investor profit taking as AI valuations may have gotten too stretched near-term ahead of NVDA’s 3rd quarter earnings announcement on Nov. 19th. But this is not an AI bubble.
75% of Tesla shareholders approved a $1 trillion pay package for Elon Musk!
It has rained in South America in the last 7 days, but both the American and European models agree that Central Brazil remains dry in the next 14-days!
