AutoTrac on cornerpost display

If you are looking for a low-cost integrated guidance system, 6M Tractors come equipped with AutoTrac guidance using the digital cornerpost display. For this straight track only feature, you no longer need an additional display or activation. To utilize AutoTrac on the cornerpost display, simply order your 6M Tractor as AutoTrac Ready (code 1758) and install a StarFire™ 6000 Receiver. While AutoTrac makes straight passes, you can focus more on job quality and leave the field less fatigued after a long day of mowing, spraying, or other field work.

Benefits of AutoTrac on the cornerpost display include:

• Easy to access, setup, and initiate
• Eliminate implement overlap and optimize machine efficiency
• Reduce operator fatigue
• Less cost than adding an additional display and activation

If you need more capabilities, like different track types or documentation, John Deere also offers a G5 Universal Display. These displays enable AutoTrac guidance that provides enhanced usability, increased performance, and greater operator choice. Additional benefits include:

• On-screen mapping
• Documentation
• Section Control

Note: AutoTrac guidance on the cornerpost is not compatible with the StarFire™ 3000 Receiver.

6120M with Intelligent Power Management

The 6110M through 6140M Tractors come equipped with Intelligent Power Management (IPM). IPM provides a 14.9-kW (20-hp) boost for operations that use rear power take-off (PTO) in high-power applications or in transport. Benefits of IPM include improved productivity, increased acceleration, and the ability to maintain desired transport speeds. The requirements for IPM to be active include: 

• Transport applications: The minimum ground speed where additional power begins to be applied for all models is 15 km/h (9.3 mph), assuming the engine is already fully loaded. Ramp-up to full additional power occurs as speed continues to increase.
• PTO activation: Power must be sensed going through the PTO drive clutch by the electronic system. When using PTO-driven implements, engine power is increased gradually when ground speed exceeds 1 km/h (0.6 mph) if the electronic system detects a correspondingly high PTO power requirement. Full power becomes available from a speed of 2.5 km/h (1.5 mph).

Optional electrical control valves (E-SCVs)

All 6M models come with the option to upgrade from mechanical to electronically controlled SCVs. To control a rear implement, up to four electrical SCVs or three electrical SCVs plus power beyond can be ordered. Each SCV features four positions – neutral, raise, lower, and float. The electrical SCVs are fully adjustable with the digital cornerpost display. Additionally, you can choose what SCVs are right for your operation with the following combinations of SCVs: 

With Compact CommandARM™ console:

• Up to four electrical SCVs possible or three plus power beyond
• Loader packages with electrical joystick available
• Mechanical SCVs are not available

With right-hand console:

• Up to three mechanical SCVs possible plus power beyond
• Up to four electrical SCVs possible or three plus power beyond
• Combination of two electrical and one or two mechanical SCVs available
• Loader packages with maximum of three mechanical SCVs available
• Loader packages with electrical joystick available

6120M with optional front hitch

For all 6M Series Tractors, an optional integrated John Deere Category 3N front hitch with hook-end draft links can be factory installed. The high lift capacity of 4400 kg (9,700 lb) maximum and 3300 kg (7,275 lb) through the full lift range ensures compatibility with heavy front implements and ballasts. If the tractor is not equipped with Triple-Link Suspension (TLS™), an accumulator will be installed to ensure driving comfort. The front hitch allows:

• Maximum uptime with quick and easy changing from folded to working position
• The operator to be highly flexible with the front ballast
• Optional availability of integrated front power take-off (PTO)
• Counterclockwise rotating PTO (view from front)

6155M with Premium light-emitting diode (LED) light package

Lights on the 6M Series Tractors have been positioned and designed to provide maximum visibility to the front, sides, and rear to increase productivity in any operating conditions. The updated cab lighting pattern provides 330 degrees of coverage while the hood lighting provides the remaining 30 degrees. You have two options to upgrade lighting with the Economy and Premium light packages available:

• Economy light package
• Two additional work lights in the front, side, and rear
• Premium light package
• Two additional work lights in the front, side, and rear
• All lights are LED lights

Both packages require the 14-V/150-amp alternator (code 8741) and 12-V/174-amp-hr battery (code 8747).

John Deere 6120M with StarFire™ 6000 Receiver and tablet with JDLink

Operators looking to remotely access critical machine data and manage their fleet in one place can with JDLink. JDLink is the telematics system from John Deere that connects all machines in the field with office and mobile devices. The technology is based on a Modular Telematics Gateway (MTG) controller that collects and transmits data via a cellular network using selective data points in near-real time. With JDLink, operators can:

• Remotely view information from a computer, phone, or tablet
• Access machine data like engine hours and fuel level
• Track machine location and history
• Set up and manage geofence and curfews
• Manage maintenance plans and alerts

6M Series Tractors have been redesigned to meet stringent reliability and serviceability requirements. Daily service requirements have been reduced and are simple to accomplish with improved accessibility to the engine. All 6M models are equipped with a 60-degree hood, and the 6110M and 6120M feature removable side panels, allowing easy access to reduce time and make serviceability even easier.

These features allow you to quickly and easily check parts like:

• Engine oil filter
• Engine fuel filter
• Coolant recovery tank
• Air cleaner

Additionally, the oil dipstick on the 6110M and 6120M allows you to check the engine oil level without opening the hood.
