The reimagined John Deere 6M Series

John Deere has revamped their 6M Utility Tractor Series for 2020. And the good news is they kept you in mind when redesigning the lineup. This versatile series is the perfect size to appeal to a variety of customers including dairy, livestock, hay and diversified ag customers, as well as accomplish a variety of tasks like roadside mowing, property maintenance and snow removal. The models have been improved and expanded for 2020 with more options and customizations to better meet customers’ specific needs. The lineup includes eight cab models ranging from 110 to 195 horsepower. Tractors will feature improvements in visibility, maneuverability, comfort and technology not previously available in the mid-spec 6 Family Tractors, which are ideal for handling a wide variety of loader and PTO-driven operations.

Key Improvements and Updates:

Visibility: Two of the more popular models, the 6110M and 6120M, have been redesigned with a sloped hood that provides an 18-ft. front view distance for improved visibility for loader work. With all models, you also have the option of a panoramic roof to get an uninterrupted view of the full loader cycle.

Maneuverability: Designed with a shorter wheelbase found on the popular 6430, you’ll benefit from a 14-ft. turning radius on the 6110M and 6120M, so you can get the job done, even in the tightest of spaces.

Comfort and Convenience: John Deere has updated the cab comforts for all 6Ms to include new styling and a digital corner post display for improved view of machine data. To improve operator comfort and performance, tractors can be equipped with a compact CommandARM™ for fingertip machine and implement control; up to four electronic selective control valves (E-SCVs); and front hitch and PTO for mounting and operating front-end equipment. A first for the 6M Series, front axle suspension elevates your comfort when working in bumpy field conditions or when traveling at road speed.

Joystick Options + PowrReverser™: Deere kept the mechanical joystick used in previous year models, but has added an optional electronic loader joystick, available on both the armrest and compact CommandARM™. Both joysticks feature the PowrReverser button, which allows you to change direction without taking your hands off the steering wheel or loader joystick, perfect for repetitive loader work.

Horsepower: Available in base on 6110M, 6120M, 6130M and 6140M models, Intelligent Power Management (IPM) delivers an extra 20 engine HP boost, which is incredibly helpful in PTO and high-speed transport applications. Deere has also added the 140-hp 6140M model to the lineup, which addresses a sweet-spot in size, horsepower and capabilities.

Front Loader: Machines can be ordered loader-ready from the factory and matched with a John Deere 600R Loader. These loaders are designed to be small enough to match the design of the new 6110M and 6120M tractors and include more LED lights, a curved boom and underslung leveling links that improve overall loader performance for all types of operations. The optional hydraulic remote implement latch makes switching loader attachments easier and faster without even leaving the cab.

New Tech: New technology is available for customers who want more precision guidance, telematics and other features found on larger or higher spec tractors. This includes factory-installed AutoTrac™ guidance, available for the first time on the small-frame models, and the option of JDLink™ telematics for fleet management, service updates and maintenance alerts.

If you’re in need of a powerful loader tractor to get a variety of chores done around the farm or homestead, the reimagined lineup of John Deere 6M Tractors might be the perfect addition to your fleet. Model Year 2020 John Deere 6M Tractors are available to order as of September 17, 2019 and will begin arriving at dealerships early next year.
