Launched as a direct replacement to some of Deutz Fahr’s existing Series 6 models, the four-cylinder, three-model range has big plans to address a market requirement the manufacturer has previously not offered. Toby Whatley reports.
Big plans for new 6C
Deutz Fahr has an interesting history when it comes to transmission choices. Steadfast providers of mechanical transmissions with powershi options, the manufacturer launched a CVT model, the Agrotron V in 2001 and since has offered buyers these two transmission options across its tractor range.
Generally lower powered versions were o ered with a mechanical stick-shi with the larger models CVT only. rough the manufacturer’s own admission, the brand has lacked the option of a full powershi o ering, something which is o ered by its competitors and is the transmission of choice from some 70% of European buyers in the 120-150hp segment. e Series 6C range provides a direct replacement for the current 6120, 6130 and 6140 models and includes a new Stage 5 emission rated engine, new cab speci cations and controls, and crucially for Deutz, a new transmission option.
Powershift
e RC Shi full powershi option sits between the confusingly titled Powershi using ve mechanical gears with two or three electronic splits and the stepless V option. e new RC Shi transmission shares a lot of mechanicals with its CVT cousin, and allows drive progression over its 20

forward and 16 reverse steps to a maximum speed of 50kph.
An additional creeper box is available o ering forward speeds down to 20 metres per hour as a factory order or dealer activated option.
Presented as a tractor designed for easy of use, the new drive is operated through a simple arm-rest mounted joystick, which intuitively is pushed forward to increase the range and pulled backwards to reduce.
Rocking the stick towards the operator engages cruise control.
Alongside the drive joystick, bu ons on the console are used to select gearbox speci c functions including automatic power shi (APS) and mode control.

6C
designed to hold the machine in a speci c range. e maximum and minimum gears for each mode can be con gured by the operator through the dash mounted colour screen. e cab has been li ed from the smaller 5 Series but includes a complete re t across the three models, and is o ered in three main speci cations allowing for the di erent control interfaces for the transmission choices.
Puzzlingly, the smallest model in the range, the 6115C, uses a cab design identical to the smaller 5C range. is design is not shared with any other models in the 6C.
In use, the tractor is easy to drive and can be con gured to press and go on the thro le with the control of the gear shi ing le to the responsibility of the gearbox controller.
Visually the dash mounted colour screen is clear, but the information in slightly clu ered and it is not immediately obvious which range the machine is working in, or if the full automatic transmission has been activated.
Cab interior is well laid out and the controls clear and in keeping with the bright-colour grouping style of the Deutz range.
The new Series 6 models offer power outputs of 126-143hp. Inset: The transmission is operated through a simple three-way joystick.
Control
e 120 litres/minute hydraulic output is e ectively delivered to the loader control through the second joystick, with a precise and fast response of the Stoll sourced loader.
Visibility through the top vision cab to the loader at full height is good, with a relatively narrow cross bar between the windscreen and roof window.
In addition to the new transmission, the new cab layout includes an optional secondary joystick for front loader operation, front axle and mechanical cab suspension and Topcon sourced SDF guidance and steering.
