Description

Benefits
Better ride quality
Better wear characteristics
Less compaction
More efficient converting more power to the ground
Heavy-duty front rims are also available that are capable of additional load and are perfect for roadside mowing or sidehill applications
Overview
To further the versatility and efficiency of the 6E Tractors and their hydraulic capabilities, the 6Es (excluding 6120EH) can be ordered loader ready. Being able to add a loader to a 6E Tractor makes it an even more capable solution to the various tasks a utility tractor is challenged with.
Overview:

For the operator wanting to install a loader on a tractor, two-function and three-function hydraulic mid-mount valves with mechanical joystick are available.

Benefits:

The operator can operate the loader using a joystick, increasing productivity and maneuverability

Available for both cab and open operator station (OOS) configurations on all 6Es (excluding 6120EH)

Quick installation of a loader once the tractor is received

Improved resale value
All John Deere 6E Series Tractors feature the reliable and proven 4.5L (275-cu in.) engines. These engines deliver constant power over a wide range of rpm with a power bulge above rated power and excellent torque characteristics.

The 6E Series, while being value-featured and competitively priced, are built with John Deere’s long-standing reputation for reliability, durability, and maintainability.

Rated engine horsepower ratings are included for reference to competitor’s gross or engine-only power ratings. There are several ratings systems used by other manufacturers. John Deere uses the horsepower-rating standard 97/68/EC, which is widely used in Europe for various regulations.

How is engine-only rated and maximum power determined?
John Deere engineering uses a precise procedure to measure engine-only power levels. The 97/68/EC standard is required in the European Union (EU) as an emission test, so there is some relation to the power a tractor has as a whole functioning unit; however, the procedure requires only that a production engine and radiator are used on a dynamometer test. Use the 97/68/EC horsepower ratings in the above chart to compare to competitor claims of engine-only power.

Benefits of PTO power and power bulge

The John Deere exclusive single-injector control, electronic fuel injection system, and other key engine parts work together to sense engine load and instantly respond as needed to pull through tough spots. This reduces engine rpm fluctuation, resulting in the reduced need to downshift the transmission. Fewer shifts result in fewer ground variations, providing more overall tractor productivity.

To match the engine power characteristics and improve economy of operation, the rated engine speed is 2200 rpm.

Feature and benefit overview
High-pressure common rail fuel system

Higher injection pressures (up to 1896 bar [27,500 psi]), precise variable injection pressure, variable timing control, multiple injections
Four-valve cylinder head

Crossflow head design provides excellent breathing from a lower-cost four-valve cylinder head.
Turbocharged

In turbocharged engines, the air is pre-compressed. Due to the higher pressure, more air is supplied into the combustion chamber, allowing a corresponding increase in fuel injection which results in greater engine output.
Turbochargers

Precisely matched to the power level and application, the 6Es are equipped with a wastegate (to divert exhaust gases) turbo.
Air-to-air intercooling

This is most efficient method of cooling intake air to help reduce engine emissions while maintaining low speed torque, transient response time, and peak torque. It enables the engine to meet emission requirements with better fuel economy and the lowest installed costs.
