Heavy-duty two-wheel drive (2WD) front axle

The two-wheel drive (2WD) front axle is manufactured from heavy-duty nodular cast iron for superior strength and durability and is available in the 6100E and 6115E.

Mechanical front-wheel drive (MFWD) (optional)

The caster action front-wheel drive design permits wheels to tilt and tuck under tractor chassis to achieve sharp turns. It improves stability and steering accuracy and provides positive turn traction and allows a maximum 52-degree turn angle.
Inboard planetary final drives
Distributes axle load equally over three points. Reduces stress on individual gears and shafts for increased reliability

Hydrostatic power steering

Hydrostatic steering provides optimum performance and efficiency in all operating conditions with minimal effort.

Open-center hydraulic system

All 6E Series Tractors feature a gear-driven, open-center (constant-flow) hydraulic system with a maximum pressure of 19,500 kPa (2830 psi), with a rated flow to the rear selective control valves (SCVs) of 73.2 L/min (19.1 gpm).

Joystick control lever

Optional mid-mount valve with joystick allows multiple functions to be performed by one lever, which is especially useful for loader operations.

Category 2, 3-point hitch

Features a rugged, Category 2, 3-point hitch designed to SAE standards, to accommodate demanding implement draft and lift requirements, plus a Category 2 drawbar to tackle the toughest drawbar loads

Top adjustable swinging drawbar

Equipped with an in-base Category 2 swinging drawbar, which allows the operator to slide the drawbar to one side for power take-off (PTO) operations, especially useful with hay equipment
Independent 540/1000 rpm PTO
Easily switch between 540 and 1000 rpm-driven implements simply by removing the stub shaft and reversing its position

Mechanically actuated wet-disk brakes

Smooth braking
Longer life

Differential lock

Maximises traction

Operator’s station

Both cab and open operator station (OOS) platforms offer easy, uncluttered access to all tractor and implement controls.
The controls are ergonomically located and color coded, giving the operator natural and logical command of all functions.

Fixed or foldable Roll-Gard™ rollover protective structure (ROPS)

The foldable Roll-Gard can be adjusted from the seat. The tractor will fit under standard 203.2-cm (80-in.) door openings. The tractor’s height with fixed ROPS is around 254 cm (100 in.), depending on the wheel size.

Factory-installed cab

A ROPS-certified, factory-installed cab is available to all operators. The cab provides protection from heat and cold, wind, noise, and offers a climate-controlled environment. The cabs are also assembled to the tractor chassis as a complete unit mounted on composite isolators.

Standard seat for open operator station (OOS) tractors and deluxe seat for cabs

Vinyl standard seats are fully adjustable fore/aft and weight. A factory-installed armrest option is available. Deluxe seats used in cabs are fully adjustable fore/aft along with height and weight. Seats are equipped with a seat switch to detect operator’s presence for the PTO alarm. Both kinds of seats have retractable seat belts.

Composite fenders and hood

Resists paint chips and dents
Will not rust and retains a like-new finish longer
Hood tilts up to provide easy access for service.

4.5L (274.6-cu in.) PowerTech™ engine

John Deere 6E Series Tractors feature the reliable and proven 4.5L (274.6 cu in.), two-valve PowerTech E engine.

The PowerTech E engine, used in 6100E, 6115E, and 6130E models, are diesel engines that can deliver up to 25 percent torque rise.

Model	Engine	Emission level	Engine displacement	Rated engine speed
6100E	PowerTech E	Tier 3	4.5L (274.6 cu in.)	2100 rpm
6115E	PowerTech E	Tier 3	4.5L (274.6 cu in.)	2100 rpm
6130E	PowerTech E	Tier 3	4.5L (274.6 cu in.)	2100 rpm

These engines are designed for performance, long life, and low maintenance costs. The two-valve engine design of the PowerTech E provides excellent torque, fuel efficiency, and durability. The PowerTech engine delivers:

Clean performance Latest engine technology True customer value

The PowerTech E also features a rotary injection pump and mechanical governor.

12F/4R top shaft synchronised (TSS), 12F/12R PowrReverser™, 24F/8R TSS Hi-Lo, and 24F/12R (30k and 40k) PowrReverser Plus transmissions

Open-center, gear-driven hydraulics

Dual 540-/1000-rpm rear power take-off (PTO)

Serviceability

Tilt hood

The hood tilts to open wide, allowing unencumbered engine compartment access. An easy-reach tether cord allows access to effortlessly close the hood. Overriding the two gas struts permits the hooding up to 90 degrees. Unhooking the tether from the radiator support allows the operator to open the hood even further to provide better access for servicing the under-hood components.

The tilt-up hood provides easy access from the ground to:

Coolant recovery tank
Tiltable radiator assembly
Air cleaner
Front-mounted battery

Filter service intervals

Fuel filters

Vertical engine oil and fuel filters minimise spilling for cleaner and faster changes. 500-hour service intervals (when using John Deere Torq-Gard™ oil or Plus-50™ lubricant and filter) for engine oil and filter, fuel filter, and cab air filter reduce maintenance costs over the life of the tractor.

Two engine fuel filters provide the needed protection for the fuel system:

One 30-micron primary filter
One 2-micron final filter

Radiator cleanout

Blowing out the radiator is easy and convenient with the 6E Series Tractors equipped with an in-base, sliding radiator assembly. Open the hood to clean out the radiator, fan, and cooling package. The condenser can be pulled out to one side for better access.

Coolant tank

The coolant recovery tank, located behind the air filter, is easily accessible from the ground.

Air filter

The engine air filter is located under the front of the hood above the radiator. Undoing the quick-attach fastener allows for fast and easy servicing - no tools required. The Power Core air filter removes more than 93 percent of foreign material before it reaches the filter element.

Cab air quality

Cab air filter

The cab air quality system is comprised of two fresh air cab filters. A filter is located on the bottom side of the left- and right- side cab roof is easily accessible by removing two wing screws and a sealed cover plate.

Battery

12-V battery (cover off)

12-V battery (cover on)

Open the hood to access the battery. No tools are needed.

Transmission hydraulic oil sight gauge

Sight gauge

Instead of using a dipstick, the transmission/hydraulic oil level is checked with a sight glass on the left side of the rear axle housing on 6E Series Tractors.

Transmission hydraulic oil filter

Hydraulic oil filter (behind 3-point hitch)

Transmission/hydraulic oil filter is conveniently located and designed to save the operator service time and reduce maintenance costs.

Change intervals:

500-hour transmission/hydraulic filter change
1000-hour transmission/hydraulic oil change

Windshield washer tank

Windshield washer tank (right of selective control valves [SCVs])

The windshield washer tank is conveniently located at the right rear of the cab for easy refilling. This is the same washer fluid tank for the rear window wiper when ordered as a field-installed kit.

Brake pedal adjustment

Brake pedal adjustment (left shown)

Easy brake pedal travel adjustment is provided on cab and open operator station (OOS) tractors. Turnbuckle linkage is located at the top side of left and right rear axles.
