Selecting the lighting mode
Overview
Operators can quickly select a lighting mode on the steering console by operating a rotary switch. The four settings available are:
Benefits
Programmable lighting
Overview
The CommandCenter allows operators to customize two different light programs. The operator can switch between the two programs with the push button. Also standard on the 6R Tractors is the battery power-saver feature.
When the engine is off and the outside lights have been left on, this feature is designed to avoid battery run-down. After the lights have been left on for 30 minutes and the key is in the off position, the lights will cycle, or blink on and off five times as an alert. The lights will continue to illuminate for one more minute and then automatically shut off to protect the battery.
Benefits
Additional lights
Overview
Additional lighting is available to match various applications and ensure maximum around-the-clock productivity. Optional LED lighting technology provides extreme brightness and a daylight color output for excellent definition of the field.
The LED lights provide 40 percent greater coverage width and 10 percent more light coverage in the rear. LED lighting packages use 45 percent less amps than standard halogen lights and have an increased life expectancy over HID lights which leads to lower costs of ownership over the life of the tractor.
Overview
One beacon light is mounted on the front of the cab to provide a rotating warning light for road traveling and added visibility.
Benefits
Details
CommandCenter© console TLS Plus provides exclusive front suspension using a hydropneumatic self-leveling system to increase productivity and improve ride dramatically. TLS Plus provides more control over the front suspension of the tractor. In the field, the TLS Plus front suspension maintains ground-to-tire contact, enabling more power to the ground.
Auto mode
The TLS Plus reacts to inputs, which provides the best comfort and stability. Inputs include travel speed, implement weight, draft characteristics, and braking activity. The TLS Plus activates whenever the tractor exceeds 1.5 km/h (0.9 mph).
Maximum mode
The suspension is set to maximum hardness, which is preferable for front loader operation. This allows the operator to adjust the suspension for different situations. If the tractor exceeds 35 km/h (22 mph), the hardness is reduced to provide greater driving comfort. When dropping below 25 km/h (15 mph), maximum is reactivated.
Manual mode
This setting can be useful when attaching mounted implements to the front hitch. When activated, the axle settles in its mid position and then can be raised or lowered manually with the touchscreen or shortcut buttons F and G. The manual setting is overridden when the travel speed exceeds 5 km/h (3 mph) and returns to the previously selected setting of automatic or maximum.
|
First link: vertical linkage Two double-acting hydraulic cylinders control the vertical movement of the axle, which leads to excellent sensitivity. |
|
Second link: longitudinal linkage |
|
Third link: lateral linkage This third link holds the axle laterally. These few simple components ensure excellent suspension quality and reliability with reduced maintenance. |
A full stroke of the suspension typically takes 1 second, allowing the system time to distinguish between typical terrain inputs or level changes. This prevents overreactions.
In addition to active central leveling of the suspension, the John Deere TLS Plus adopts a constantly variable rod side pressure by using a closed loop system. When the suspension reacts at a different frequency, which could be detrimental to driver comfort, the system then fine-tunes the rod side pressure, changing the spring stiffness and improving the ride behavior.

Technology
|
Benefits
Details
To match the engine power characteristics and improve the operation economy of the machine, the rated engine speed is 2100 rpm.
Series turbochargers
Overview
The PowerTech PSS 4.5L and 6.8L utilizes two turbochargers ™ a VGT and a fixed geometry turbocharger, providing the torque rise and engine response needed to meet varying load conditions.
Fresh air is first drawn into the low-pressure fixed geometry turbocharger and compressed to a higher pressure. The compressed, higher pressure air is then drawn into the high-pressure VGT, where the air is further compressed. By splitting the work between two turbochargers, both can operate at peak efficiency and at slower rotating speeds.
Benefits
VGT
Overview
The VGT is electronically controlled and actuates the turbo vanes as required to maintain peak engine performance.
The turbochargerâs vanes are in the exhaust flow. The opening or closing of the vanes changes the outlet volume and airflow speed against the turbocharger turbine. When exhaust flow is low, the vanes are partially closed. This partial closure increases the pressure against the turbine blades to make the turbocharger spin faster and generate more boost pressure.
The ability to keep the airflow at optimum levels provides more consistent engine boost pressure and the ability to respond to load quickly across the entire engine rpm range. This system is without the turbo lag that can be found on some engines.
Benefits
Air-to-air after cooling
Overview
Air-to-air after cooling lowers the intake manifold air temperature and provides more efficient cooling while reducing cylinder firing pressure and temperatures for greater engine reliability. Since lower temperature air is denser, a higher volume of air flows into cylinders so the engine can meet the increasing horsepower demands. Lowering the intake manifold and cylinder temperatures also aid in lowering the combustion temperature, which lowers the NOx produced as a result.
Benefits
HPCR fuel injection system
Overview
Every PowerTech PSS 4.5L and 6.8L engine utilizes a HPCR fuel system to efficiently supply fuel to injectors. The high-pressure fuel pump instantly responds to requirements for more or less fuel flow or pressure. This electronically controlled, high-pressure pump delivers pressure on demand according to the application requirements. Pressure on demand ensures an efficient injection system resulting in high-injection pressure independent of engine speed.
Benefits
Engine control unit (ECU)
Overview
The ECU uses signal inputs from sensors and pre-programmed performance modeling to control critical engine functions such as fuel quantity, injection timing, air-to-fuel ratio, multiple fuel injections, amount of cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), and a host of other control parameters.
Benefits
Details
Each injector is controlled individually by the ECU. The ECU turns the injector on and off during each firing cycle to control the fuel delivery into each cylinder.
Load and speed sensing allow each cylinderâs fuel delivery rate to be adjusted independently at the individual injector. With each injection cycle, the ECU can make the following adjustments on the go:
This management system is connected to the transmission, allowing the engine and transmission to respond simultaneously.
Cold weather and high-altitude compensation are also precisely controlled for quality starts regardless of weather and maximum performance at high elevations. The ECU also features improved diagnostic capabilities. It is faster, has more working memory, and is responsible for monitoring and executing all aspects of the Integrated Emission Control System.
The John Deere Infinitely Variable Transmission (AutoPowr/IVT) utilizes a combination of mechanical and hydrostatic power, providing stepless and continuous power across an infinitely variable range of speeds.
Single-speed lever is used for intuitive and accurate control of ground speeds as slow as 50 m/h (0.03 mph) to 40/50 km/h (25/31 mph). For model year 2015, the transmission has been revised so transport speeds are reached at lower engine rpms, ultimately reducing fuel consumption and in cab noise. Software has also been revised to ensure under acceleration engine rpm is kept to a minimum within the engines peak torque band.Â

Set-speed adjusting wheel
Overview
The set-speed adjusting wheel is the rotational thumbwheel located on the speed control lever. The wheel is quick and easy to adjust with the operators thumb and rotates infinitely with no stop or start position. When the operator rotates the thumbwheel, the ground speed of the tractor is increased by 0.2 km/h (0.12 mph) when the tractor is traveling below 20 km/h (12 mph). When the tractor is traveling above 20 km/h (12 mph), the tractor is increased by (1) km/h (0.6 mph). The set speed adjuster is used to set the maximum commanded forward or reverse speed in each speed band.
As the operator moves the lever within or between speed bands, the electronic management system ensures smooth, quick, and powerful acceleration or deceleration, regardless of load or ground speed.
While in motion, the operator can adjust the maximum speed of each speed band. With the lever in band one, the target maximum speed can be adjusted to 20 km/h (12 mph). With the lever in band two, the maximum speed of 40/50 km/h (25/31 mph) can be defined depending on transmission option. When stationary, all set speeds, both forward and reverse, may be adjusted while the left-hand reverser is in the power zero position.
Benefits
Left-hand reverser
Overview
An easy-to-use left-hand reverser is available in all the AutoPowr/IVT transmissions. The reverser control is located at the 10 oâclock position on the steering column for intuitive control. The left-hand reverser incorporates the following controls:
Benefits
Manual Mode settings
Overview
Manual mode makes the transmission and engine independent of each other. The transmission does not automatically adjust engine rpm to save fuel. This can prove to be useful in applications like loader work where the variability of engine speed based on load is not needed.
Benefits
Electronic hand and foot throttle
Overview
The tractor ground speed is controlled via the accelerator and hand throttle. The engine rpm can be set to a specific ground speed using the hand throttle (A). Button (B) activates and de-activities FieldCruise© (with two available pre-sets), which is an engine rpm limiter.
Â
The specific ground speed set can be set by pressing button (C), this pedal lock feature works like the cruise control on a car (only functions when foot throttle is ordered). Button (D) allows the operator to drive with the minimum target rpm with ECO on.
Â
NOTE: button (D) is only active in custom mode.
Benefits
AutoPowr/IVT selector control via CommandCenter
Overview
The AutoPowr/IVT application setting employs four modes to take full advantage of the engine-transmission communication: Full auto, custom, pedal and manual.
Full auto mode
Overview
Full auto mode enables the tractor to make adjustments to the transmission operating mode automatically based on the engine and transmission speeds and the load on the tractor. This should be the AutoPowr/IVT setting for 95 percent of all applications.
Full auto mode switches between load control and fuel economy mode seamlessly with no involvement from the operator as conditions and applications change. Fuel economy mode automatically switches off when the power take-off (PTO) is engaged to provide full PTO power. Operators can set the maximum forward and reverse speeds for the tractor in their particular application.
NOTE: Activation ECO is not available in full auto mode.
Custom mode
Overview
Custom mode allows the operator to customize the AutoPowr/IVT settings when full auto mode is not desirable. In custom mode, operators can turn ECO on and off. This can either be done by pushing the ECO button on the side of the hand throttle module or by selecting ECO in the transmission settings page of the CommandCenter.
Â
When accelerating with ECO on, the tractor minimizes engine speeds, which reduce acceleration aggressiveness. As a result, ECO on should reduce fuel consumption in lighter, steady loads. In contrast, when accelerating with ECO off, engine speed can be higher aggressively to maximize productivity. The higher engine speeds with ECO off better enable the tractor to quickly recover from sudden load increases and not lose as much ground speed when load increases occur.
In custom mode, the engine droop settings can be defined between 4 percent and 30 percent with PTO on and off. The higher the droop percentage the more the engine rpm will be reduced when pulling before a transmission ratio change is made
Benefits
Pedal mode settings
Overview
Pedal mode allows the operator to change the tractorâs ground speed independently from the engine speed. The ground speed is controlled through use of the foot pedal while the hand throttle determines engine speed. Maximum ground speed is determined by the location of the speed control lever in the speed band.
Â
Operators can lock-in a desired ground speed, without pressure on the foot pedal, using the pedal lock button (as described above). To unlock the foot pedal, the operator can tap the foot pedal, press the lock button, or press the brake pedal. When releasing the foot pedal, the vehicle decelerates to a safe creep speed. To come to a complete stop, the brake pedal should be depressed.
Benefits
Torque
Overview
The AutoPowr/IVT is a combination of mechanical and hydraulic components that are capable of providing low speed with extremely high levels of torque:
Creeper mode
Creeper mode is a standard feature on AutoPowr/IVT. Down to 50 m/h (164 ft/h) the creeper mode is activated when the selected speed is below 2.1 km/h (1.3 mph) in set position 1.
When the tractor moves below 600 m/h (1968 ft/h), the engine speed is independent of travel speed. This allows the operator to choose the engine speed that best fits the task (rated speed for hydraulic or PTO usage, or low idle for fuel-saving operation). No additional power is needed.
Load anticipation feature
Overview
The load anticipation feature allows the AutoPowr/IVT to predict how much load the engine expects from the activation of the hitch or a particular SCV function.
In Full Auto Mode, all load anticipation features are active. In custom mode, they can be turned on or off in the custom settings page. When a SCV or the hitch is activated, the engine speed is raised to 1500 rpm (as long as the commanded throttle position is over this value). This creates a boost in engine power, which improves hydraulic performance and prepares the engine for potential load situations, returning an implement to work for example.
Â
Also added is PTO load anticipation. If it is turned off, the engine does not react to PTO engagement, and engine speed is controlled purely based on load , If turned on (in custom) when the PTOÂ is engaged, the engine rpm will rise to throttle position or pre-defined PTO cruise setting.
Benefits
Forward/Reverse relationship
Overview
Similar to the AutoQuad PLUS transmission, the AutoPowr/IVT can also adjust the forward/reverse speed ratio. The reverse speeds can be set to a maximum of 30 percent higher and 70 percent lower than forward speeds but only in range 1. In range 2, the forward-to-reverse speed ratio is 1:1, up to 22 km/h (14 mph). Above that, the reverse speeds will only go up to 30 km/h (19 mph).
Brake with integrated Auto Clutch function
Overview
With the AutoPowr/IVT, no clutching is required to stop the tractor. After the brakes are released, the tractor automatically accelerates back to its previous speed (if using hand throttle) The effect of Auto Clutch can also be set via the operator CommandCenter.
ComfortView cabs feature a modern, automotive-style instrument panel as base equipment. The instrument pod has two large analog dials for engine and tractor speed, as well as two smaller dials that display fuel level, DEF level, and coolant temperature. The steering column and dash are adjustable to suit the operator's needs. The column tilts toward the operator and a lever on the left-hand side allows for the column to telescope out to the desired level.
A dimming mode automatically reduces the brightness of the instrument illumination when the tractor lights are used.
Instrumentation control panel
Overview
The instrumentation panel has a row of information and warning lights across the bottom to monitor all important tractor functions. A three-stage warning system first gives information, then gives warnings,and finally gives a stop alarm to prevent damage from occurring in the event of a component malfunction. An integrated power take-off (PTO) over-speed warning is incorporated into the diagnostics to ensure proper operation.
Dash instrument panel controls include:
Left side | Right side |
Left-hand reverser | Two-speed and optional intermittent wiper |
High-/low-beam switch | Key start/stop |
Hazard switch | Road/work lights on/off |
Turn signals/horn |
CommandARM controls
Overview
The 6R Series features a redesigned CommandARM with all key vehicle functions in one place.
The updated CommandARM layout is only available with Infinitely Variable Transmission (IVT™) and DirectDrive transmissions.
The base 17.8 cm (7-in.) (4100 CommandCenter) or optional 25.4 cm (10-in.) (4600 CommandCenter™) display is fully integrated on to CommandARM and offers fast adjustment of additional tractor functions.
The CommandARM design allows for 37.5 degrees of total seat swivel and adjustable positioning matching the operator’s preference. (30 degrees right and 7.5 degrees left)
Hydraulic and hitch controls utilize fingertip paddle pods for raise/lower and extend/retract functions. The CommandARM offers up to a maximum of six electronic selective control valves (E-SCVs) (without electronic joystick). The optional electrical joystick replaces fingertip paddle pods for control of selective control vales (SCVs) and allows for programmable hydraulic functionality according to operator preference.(A maximum of five E-SCVs can be ordered with the electronic joystick).
Controls for radio, lights, rotary beacon, and hazard flashers are located to the center right on the CommandARM along with PTO for front (if equipped) and rear PTO. Additionally, located on the right side of the CommandARM is an encoder wheel, which allows for finite positioning of the rear 3-point hitch. Three buttons near the encoder for set lock and return to height. Adjustment knobs for the 3-point hitch are located under the cover for the CommandARM storage compartment and allow for adjustment of the rate of drop, hitch height limit, and depth control.
The transmission control and throttle are placed on the left side of the CommandARM closest to the operator for convenient setting and adjustment. The throttle design incorporates buttons which control engine cruise speed, pedal lock/cruise control, and transmission Eco settings (for more information refer to the AutoPowr™ or DirectDrive transmissions pages).
Located just to the right of the throttle is the auto-steer activation button and four sequence controls for iTEC™ functions. Behind the iTEC sequence controls are buttons which control the activation and deactivation of MFWD and differential lock.
Differential lock can also be activated by foot switch on the cab floor. A new feature in the 6R Series Tractor is auto steering angle dependent differential lock button.
Operators can easily identify controls by icons located near levers, and each functional area is color-coded.
Benefits
Right-hand console controls
Overview
The right-hand control console is angled for operator comfort and ease of operation. The design of the right-hand console is controlled by the type of SCVs chosen.
Mechanically actuated valves are controlled by traditional levers while electronically actuated valves are controlled by fingertip paddle pods. Controls for the ComfortView cab are grouped by function on the right-hand console.
The modular console panel provides individual access to hand throttle, transmission controls, MFWD switch (if equipped), hitch command console, load/draft control, SCV, and PTO controls.
The console is also the location of the CommandCenter. The CommandCenter allows the operator to customize important tractor functions.
This option requires a PowrQuad™ or AutoQuad™ transmission.

Benefits
Details
Base features in all cab packages:
The DirectDrive transmission combines the efficiency benefits of a manual shift transmission with easy handling similar to the AutoPowr™/IVT™ transmission. DirectDrive utilizes unique double-clutch technology giving 6R operators more driving comfort.
Since this is a mechanical transmission, it provides smooth shifting between gears with high efficiency. Smooth shifting is achieved by excellent modulation between the dual clutches in combination with engine rpm management to speed match the next gear.
DirectDrive uses efficiency manager to automatically change up gears and throttle back, similar to how AutoPowr varies its ratio to achieve minimum engine rpm with a higher transmission ratio.
Benefits
Details
Code | Description | Available for | Information |
1530 | DirectDrive – 40 km/h (25 mph) | 6175R, 6195R, 6215R | Double clutch transmission, 40 km/h (25 mph) at reduced engine speed |
The DirectDrive transmission consists of the range box, the dual-path module, and the PowrReverser™.
Range box
The range box in the 6R Series consists of three ranges perfectly suited for agricultural applications.
Changing from ranges is quick and simple and due to its adaptation to agricultural applications, it is hardly ever required in the field. Less range shifting means fewer torque interruptions.
Dual-path module
Overview
The dual path module includes the eight PowerShift gears, available in all three ranges. The PowerShift gears can change automatically, creating a very efficient drive strategy to save fuel and reduce noise.
The main technical innovation is the use of two clutches in one transmission. This system allows very fast shifting between gears and is highly efficient. The second gear is already lined up, ready to go, and just waiting for the change command to be given.
Left-hand reverser
Overview
An easy-to-use left-hand reverser is available in all the DirectDrive transmissions. The reverser control is located at the 10 o’clock position on the steering column for intuitive control. The left-hand reverser incorporates the following controls:
Benefits
Electronic hand and foot throttle
Overview
The tractor ground speed is controlled via the accelerator and hand throttle. The engine rpm can be set to a specific ground speed using the hand throttle (A). Button (B) activates and de-activates FieldCruise™ (with two available pre-sets), which is an engine rpm limiter. The specific ground speed can be set by pressing button (C), this pedal lock feature works like the cruise control on a car. Button (D) allows the operator to drive with the minimum target rpm with eco on; note button (D) is only active in custom mode.
Benefits
Gear and range views in display
Overview
In the DirectDrive transmission, the selected range and selected PowerShift gear can be viewed in the dashboard.
Similar to the AutoPowr/IVT transmission control and display, the DirectDrive transmission has the red lights inside the speed display so the operator can see how fast the tractor will go at full commanded speed. This is adjusted using the speed wheel on top of the shift control lever.
Cab ComfortView™ Premium Plus – CommandARM™
Overview
The DirectDrive transmission can only be equipped on the CommandARM.
If the tractor runs under full load, the gear shifting can be customized with this setting.
In custom mode the engine droop settings can be defined between 6 percent and 40 percent with power take-off (PTO) on and off. The higher the droop percentage, the more the engine rpm will be reduced when pulling before a transmission down shift is made.
A speed droop expressed as percentage of full engine speed can be chosen:
DirectDrive control unit
Overview
The DirectDrive control unit consists of the speed control lever, which has an ergonomically integrated set speed adjusting wheel. The set speed adjusting wheel is a rotational thumbwheel located on the speed control lever. The wheel is quick and easy to adjust with the thumb and rotates infinitely with no stop or start position. When the operator rotates the thumbwheel, the maximum commanded forward/reverse speed is set. Also integrated are three buttons to set the ranges.
Manual mode
Overview
In this mode, the operator manually changes the gears. Put the lever up (+) to select a higher gear and put the lever down (-) to select a lower gear. In this mode the throttle and transmission are independent, efficiency manager is only effective in auto mode.
Full auto mode
Overview
If the lever is put in the right position, the auto mode is selected and the transmission shifts automatically, depending on the engine load and speed.
CommandCenter™ settings – Full auto mode
Overview
Full auto mode enables the tractor to make adjustments to the transmission operating mode automatically, based on the engine and transmission speeds and the load on the tractor.
Full auto mode switches between load control and fuel economy mode seamlessly, with no involvement from the operator, as conditions and applications change. Fuel economy mode automatically switches off when the PTO is engaged to provide full PTO power. Operators can set the maximum forward and reverse speeds for the tractor in their particular applications.
CommandCenter setting - custom mode
Overview
Custom mode allows the operator to customize the DirectDrive settings if full auto mode is not desirable.
Brake with integrated AutoClutch function
Overview
By depressing both brake pedals simultaneously, the tractor decelerates until it comes to a full stop. No clutching is required. After the brakes are released, the tractor will start to crawl forward.
To control a rear implement, up to six SCVs or five SCVs plus Power Beyond can be ordered (6145R-6250R). For (6110R- 6130R) up to five SCVs or four SCVs plus Power Beyond can be ordered.

Premium-couplers control valves also have an additional lock function (position 3), which holds the control lever in the raise or lower position until the pressure in the oil circuit has reached a predetermined value (e.g., when the control cylinder has reached its end position).
In position 2, the control lever returns to neutral as soon as it is released and is the setting for normal hydraulic operation.
If an implement is connected, pressure connection has to be connected to the lower coupler. With standard SCVs, a valve prevents sudden loss of pressure caused by leakage when the engine is shut off.
On premium SCVs, the likelihood of leakage is further diminished.
Overview
The tractor may be equipped with the premium (450 Series) control valves. All main characteristics can be controlled by the CommandCenter© display.

The optional Tractor-Baler Automation (TBA) makes baling easy. This exclusive system manages most of the baling process and gives the customer the following advantages:
When used with a John Deere ISOBUS tractor, electric selective control valve (E-SCV), and (IVT™) transmission, the system will be able to:
The only action remaining is to forward reverser and manage the steering.
If the John Deere tractor is not equipped with IVT but has E-SCV and ISOBUS, opening and closing can be automated.
A single touch on SCV, brakes, or reverser will disengage the automation. In the same way, automated open/close can be momentarily stopped when unloading in hilly conditions.
Tractor-Implement Automation is an exclusive green on green advantage. This advanced technology option has won awards at SIMA and Agritechnica farm equipment show in Europe, a true cost/value guarantee.
NOTE: to run through fully automated mode, a John Deere Isobus tractor with E-SCV and IVT is required. A baler activation key and a tractor activation key (different) have to be ordered.
The 990 and 960 Balers offer ISOBUS compatibility as base equipment. This standardized communication not only allows the use of John Deere Greenstar2 1800, 2600, or 2630 Displays, but also the use of other ISOBUS conform competitive monitors.
Adapter harnesses for non-ISOBUS tractors are available.
The Baler interface displays information that is needed. The 900 Series monitors provide all required information:
Adjustments can also be managed from the operators station:
The 900 Series Balers can be teamed with all ISOBUS certified displays. The Greenstar2 1800 monitor can be ordered with the baler to match traditional baling requirements. When not baling this display can be used for other functions such as guidance and spraying applications when connected to an appropriate receiver and implement.
The 960 and 990 Balers can be ordered without a monitor for customers who already have an ISOBUS display, or for those who search more advanced application (field management). Displays other than John Deere Greenstar2 1800 can be purchased through Ag Management Solutions (AMS) pages.
The Generation 4 CommandCenter creates the primary user interface for 6R Tractors. The Generation 4 CommandCenter provides an excellent, user-savvy operating experience.
Producers can also use a variety of implements with the Generation 4 CommandCenter as it is ISOBUS virtual terminal (VT) capable.
Expect machine productivity gains, along with increased operator confidence, thanks to a simple, customizable interface. The reliability of the Generation 4 CommandCenter also aids in optimal operating experience and maximizes uptime.

The John Deere Infinitely Variable Transmission (AutoPowr/IVT) utilizes a combination of mechanical and hydrostatic power, providing stepless and continuous power across an infinitely variable range of speeds.
Single-speed lever is used for intuitive and accurate control of ground speeds as slow as 50 m/h (0.03 mph) to 40/50 km/h (25/31 mph). In model year 2015, the transmission was revised so transport speeds are reached at lower engine rpms, ultimately reducing fuel consumption and in cab noise. Software has also been revised to ensure under acceleration engine rpm is kept to a minimum within the engines peak torque band.

The following features are part of the 50 km/h (31 mph) package:
Set-speed adjusting wheel
Overview
The set-speed adjusting wheel is the rotational thumbwheel located on the speed control lever. The wheel is quick and easy to adjust with the operatorâs thumb and rotates infinitely with no stop or start position. When the operator rotates the thumbwheel, the ground speed of the tractor is increased by 0.2 km/h (0.12 mph) when the tractor is traveling below 20 km/h (12 mph). When the tractor is traveling above 20 km/h (12 mph), the tractor is increased by (1) km/h (0.6 mph). The set speed adjuster is used to set the maximum commanded forward or reverse speed in each speed band.
As the operator moves the lever within or between speed bands, the electronic management system ensures smooth, quick, and powerful acceleration or deceleration, regardless of load or ground speed.
While in motion, the operator can adjust the maximum speed of each speed band. With the lever in band one, the target maximum speed can be adjusted to 20 km/h (12 mph). With the lever in band two, the maximum speed of 40/50 km/h (25/31 mph) can be defined depending on transmission option. When stationary, all set speeds, both forward and reverse, may be adjusted while the left-hand reverser is in the power zero position.
Benefits
Left-hand reverser
Overview
An easy-to-use left-hand reverser is available in all the AutoPowr/IVT transmissions. The reverser control is located at the 10 oâclock position on the steering column for intuitive control. For tractors without the CommandPRO© joystick, the left-hand reverser incorporates the following controls:
For tractors with CommandPRO, the left-hand reverser incorporates only forward and reverse direction selection and the lever is self-centering. The park (P) and neutral (N) positions can be selected on the CommandPRO.
Benefits
Electronic hand and foot throttle
Overview
The tractor ground speed is controlled via the accelerator and hand throttle. The engine rpm can be set to a specific ground speed using the hand throttle (A). The following functions are available for tractors without CommandPRO:
The following functions are available for tractors with CommandPRO:
Benefits
AutoPowr/IVT selector control via CommandCenter display
Overview
The AutoPowr/IVT application setting employs four modes to take full advantage of the engine-transmission communication: full AUTO, custom, pedal and manual.
Full AUTO mode
Overview
Full AUTO mode enables the tractor to make adjustments to the transmission operating mode automatically, based on the engine and transmission speeds and the load on the tractor. This should be the AutoPowr/IVT transmission setting for 95 percent of all applications.
Full AUTO mode switches between load control and fuel economy mode seamlessly, with no involvement from the operator, as conditions and applications change. Fuel economy mode automatically switches off when the power take-off (PTO) is engaged to provide full PTO power. Operators can set the maximum forward and reverse speeds for the tractor in their particular application.
NOTE: Activation ECO is not available in full auto mode.
Custom mode
Overview
Custom mode allows the operator to customize the AutoPowr/IVT transmission settings when full auto mode is not desirable. In custom mode, operators can turn ECO on and off. This can either be done by pushing the ECO button on the side of the hand throttle module or by selecting ECO in the transmission settings page of the CommandCenter display. When accelerating with ECO on, the tractor minimizes engine speeds, which reduce acceleration aggressiveness. As a result, ECO on should reduce fuel consumption in lighter, steady loads. In contrast, when accelerating with ECO off, engine speed can be higher aggressively to maximize productivity. The higher engine speeds with ECO off better enable the tractor to quickly recover from sudden load increases and not lose as much ground speed when load increases occur.
In custom mode, the engine droop settings can be defined between 4 percent and 30 percent with PTO on and off. The higher the droop percentage, the more the engine rpm will be reduced when pulling before a transmission ratio change is made.
Benefits
Pedal mode settings
Overview
Pedal mode allows the operator to change the tractorâs ground speed independently from the engine speed. The ground speed is controlled through use of the foot pedal while the hand throttle determines engine speed. Maximum ground speed is determined by the location of the speed control lever in the speed band. Operators can lock-in a desired ground speed without pressure on the foot pedal using the pedal lock button (as described above). To unlock the foot pedal, the operator can tap the foot pedal, press the lock button, or press the brake pedal. When releasing the foot pedal, the vehicle decelerates to a safe creep speed. To come to a complete stop, the brake pedal should be depressed.
Benefits
Manual mode settings
Overview
Manual mode makes the transmission and engine independent of each other. The transmission does not automatically adjust engine rpm to save fuel. This can prove to be useful in applications like loader work, where the variability of engine speed based on load is not needed.
Load anticipation feature
Overview
The load anticipation feature allows the AutoPowr/IVT transmission to predict how much load the engine expects from the activation of the hitch or a particular SCV function.
In full AUTO mode, all load anticipation features are active. In custom mode, they can be turned on or off in the custom settings page. When an SCV or the hitch is activated, the engine speed is raised to 1500 rpm (as long as the commanded throttle position is over this value). This creates a boost in engine power which improves hydraulic performance and prepares the engine for potential load situations (for example, returning an implement to work). Also added is PTO load anticipation. If it is turned off, the engine does not react to PTO engagement and engine speed is controlled purely based on load. If turned on (in custom), when the PTO is engaged, the engine rpm will rise to throttle position or pre-defined PTO cruise setting.
Benefits
Forward/Reverse relationship
Overview
Similar to the AutoQuad© PLUS transmission, the AutoPowr/IVT transmission can also adjust the forward/reverse speed ratio. The reverse speeds can be set to a maximum of 30 percent higher and 70 percent lower than forward speeds, but only in range 1. In range 2, the forward-to-reverse speed ratio is 1:1, up to 22 km/h (14 mph). Above that, the reverse speeds will only go up to 30 km/h (19 mph).
Brake with integrated AutoClutch function
Overview
With the AutoPowr/IVT transmission, no clutching is required to stop the tractor. After the brakes are released, the tractor automatically accelerates back to its previous speed (if using hand throttle). The effect of AutoClutch can also be set via the CommandCenter display.
Benefits
Torque
Overview
The AutoPowr/IVT transmission is a combination of mechanical and hydraulic components that can provide low speed with extremely high levels of torque:
Creeper mode
Creeper mode is a standard feature on the AutoPowr/IVT transmission. Down to 50 m/h (164 ft/h), the creeper mode is activated when the selected speed is below 2.1 km/h (1.3 mph) in set position 1.
When the tractor moves below 600 m/h (1968 ft/h), the engine speed is independent of travel speed. This allows the operator to choose the engine speed that best fits the task (rated speed for hydraulic or PTO usage, or low idle for fuel-saving operation). No additional power is needed.
The optional CommandPRO joystick combines a unique driving strategy with reconfigurable controls.

The change between using the foot pedal or the joystick can happen while driving for ease of use and comfort. The simple rule is: the higher speed command is superior. When changing from the pedal to the joystick, there is a short overlap where the joystick takes over the command from the pedal before the pedal is released. Similar, when changing from joystick control to the foot pedal, the driver needs to push the foot pedal to the point of speed where the joystick is before it can take over.
The inching control of the CommandPRO joystick simplifies the attachment of implements. Once the joystick is pushed into the inching range, the tractor moves very slowly in the selected direction. Speed is dependent on the joystick position and can be speed between 0 and 2 km/h (0 and 1.2 mph). Maximum speed of the inching range can be set to 5 km/h (3.1 mph) with the travel speed adjustment wheel.
Unlike the main range, releasing the joystick means the speed is reduced until the vehicle stops completely. This allows the operator to fully focus on the implement and quickly stop if required.
The travel set speed buttons on the CommandPRO joystick allow the operator to set two set speeds. The operator has to preselect the desired set speed by pushing the travel set speed button 1 or 2 and once the joystick is pushed to the right, the set speed is activated and the travel speed will be adjusted until the set speed is achieved. Additionally, the operator can set a maximum travel speed through the travel speed adjustment wheel or in the CommandCenter© display.
There are different ways to set or adjust the set speeds:
The operator can also set a dedicated set speed when changing the travel direction. For example, the tractor is driving forward at 10 km/h (6.2 mph) and for reversing the reverse shuttle shift speed is set to 5 km/h (3.1 mph). This means when the shuttle shift takes place, the tractor will accelerate to 5 km/h (3.1 mph) in reverse direction. This function can be turned on/off and set to the dedicated speed in the CommandCenter display.
The three settings for acceleration and deceleration with the CommandPRO joystick can be changed by pressing acceleration response button. Three light-emitting diodes (LEDs) next to the set button indicate the currently activated setting.
The settings influence the following:
To ensure comfortable and reliable deceleration of the tractor with both the foot pedal and the CommandPRO joystick the tractor is equipped with unique technology. The engine overspeed protection ensures that both transmission and engine are not overloaded when decelerating. Additionally, the anti-jackknife technology compares wheel speed of front and rear wheels when decelerating through the joystick, as this means that the front brakes are not applied but only through the rear axle. If the front wheels are moving quicker, the transmission automatically adjusts to ensure the same wheel speed and avoid the jackknife situation.
The park lock is disengaged automatically when commanding any direction of travel. Additionally, it engages automatically when the driver leaves the driver seat while the tractor is stationary. If the tractor is equipped with a trailer brake, this logic also applies for the trailer brake.
The buttons for the park lock and neutral position are next to the CommandPRO joystick on the CommandARM controls. There is no park lock or neutral position available in the left-hand reverser.
ComfortView cabs feature a modern, automotive-style instrument panel as base equipment. The instrument pod has two large analog dials for engine and tractor speed, as well as two smaller dials that display fuel level, diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) level, and coolant temperature. The steering column and dash are adjustable to suit the operator's needs. The column tilts toward the operator and a lever on the left-hand side allows for the column to telescope out to the desired level.
A dimming mode automatically reduces the brightness of the instrument illumination when the tractor lights are used.
Overview
The instrumentation panel has a row of information and warning lights across the bottom to monitor all important tractor functions. A three-stage warning system first gives information, then gives warnings, and finally, gives a stop alarm to prevent damage from occurring in the event of a component malfunction. An integrated power take-off (PTO) over-speed warning is incorporated into the diagnostics to ensure proper operation.
Dash instrument panel controls include:
Left side | Right side |
Left-hand reverser | Two-speed and optional intermittent wiper |
High-/low-beam switch | Key start/stop |
Hazard switch | Road/work lights on/off |
Self-cancelling turn signals/horn |
Overview
The 6R Series features a redesigned CommandARM console with all key vehicle functions in one place. The updated CommandARM layout is only available with Infinitely Variable Transmission (IVT©) and DirectDrive transmissions.

The CommandARM offers up to a maximum of six electronic selective control valves (E-SCVs) (without electronic joystick). The optional electrical joystick replaces fingertip paddle pots for control of selective control vales (SCVs) and allows for programmable hydraulic functionality according to operator preference. A maximum of five E-SCVs can be ordered with the electronic joystick. For tractors with an IVT transmission, the CommandPRO© joystick is available. Its 11 reconfigurable buttons enable the operator to have all necessary controls accessible without hand movements (for details, click here).
Controls for radio, lights, rotary beacon, and hazard flashers are located to the center right on the CommandARM along with PTO for front (if equipped) and rear PTO. Additionally, located on the right side of the CommandARM is an encoder wheel which allows for finite positioning of the rear 3-point hitch. There are three buttons near the encoder for set lock and return to height. Adjustment knobs for the 3-point hitch are located under the cover for the CommandARM storage compartment and allow for adjustment of the rate of drop, hitch height limit, and depth control.
The transmission control and throttle are placed on the left side of the CommandARM closest to the operator for convenient setting and adjustment. The throttle design incorporates buttons which control engine cruise speed, pedal lock/cruise control, and transmission Eco settings (for more information, refer to the AutoPowr© or DirectDrive transmissions pages).
Located just to the right of the throttle is the auto-steer activation button and four sequence controls for iTEC© functions. Behind the iTEC sequence controls are buttons which control the activation and deactivation of mechanical front-wheel drive (MFWD) and differential lock.
Differential lock can also be activated by foot switch on the cab floor. A feature in the 6R Series Tractor is auto steering angle dependent differential lock button.

Other integrated tools let you create site-specific variable rate prescriptions and allow you to collaborate with agronomic advisors by granting them field-specific access rights. Documenting your work for clients also becomes a breeze with easily created, printed, and shared reports. Whatâs more, an Operations Center account is free to use no matter how big your operation is.
Intelligent Total Equipment Control integrates AutoTrac© automatic steering and implement management systems to control tractor speed, front and rear mounted implements, and differential lock engagement, among other parameters. This allows for hands-free turns while reducing soil compaction, resulting in picture-perfect headlands and consistent crop growth.
JDLink shows where machines are, what they are doing, and how they are performing. You or your dealer can remotely assist operators with machine setup and operation leveraging Remote Display Access (RDA). JDLink connectivity additionally includes Wireless Data Transfer (WDT) for seamless data exchange between the machine and the office.
AutoTrac ready
John Deere AutoTrac system provides a hands-free guidance solution, helping to manage in-field efficiency and greatly reducing operator fatigue. The 6R Tractor comes from the factory as AutoTrac ready, which includes the software, sensors and valves to provide an integrated solution for the producer (receiver and activation are purchased separately). This allows producers to capture the value of guidance without the installation of labor-intensive kits.
AutoTrac Turn Automation
AutoTrac Turn Automation controls the entire headland turn and manages all tractor and implement functions, including forward speed changes and power take-off (PTO) switching. It raises or lowers the hitch or activates selective control valves (SCVs) at exactly the right time and position in the field to guarantee perfectly consistent headland crop growth.
AutoPath© system
AutoPath automatically creates guidance lines for different width machines based on data gathered by the first pass of a tillage implement or planter. It takes charge of your guidance line management, protecting nutrient investment and helping you make each pass with confidence and precision. If you are using different width implements for planting, spraying, or harvesting, AutoPath ensures the tires always follow the planted rows and stay off the crop. When harvesting, the combine is always guided to the correct starting point, and the guidance lines are automatically calculated based on the width of the header.
The 6R Tractor cab delivers on comfort and convenience, regardless of your application. The all-around visibility and easy-to-use controls make the 6R a perfect fit for your operation. All 6R Tractors include a corner post display featuring state-of-the-art electronic instrumentation that blends well with the narrow right-hand cab post. This provides all the critical machine information and enhanced visibility. In addition, premium features such as automatic climate control, an instructor seat, and foot throttle come standard on the 6R Tractors.
The CommandARM console provides a thoroughly intuitive operating interface. All the controls you need for daily work are available at your fingertips: selective control valves (SCVs), AutoTrac© automatic steering, iTEC© machine control, air conditioning, lights, radio, four-wheel drive (4WD), and hitch depth control. Mounted on the CommandARM, the Generation 4 CommandCenter display has easy-to-use, tablet- like swipe functionality and monitors everything you need for productive and efficient work.
The CommandPRO joystick combines a unique driving strategy with reconfigurable controls. All the controls you need for daily work are available at your fingertips: travel speed, acceleration response, reconfigurable buttons and rocker switches, and activation button.
The G5 Extended Monitor increases the screen area so you can monitor more functions at once and have direct access to make adjustments when needed. You could, for example, view vehicle control functions on your primary display and Precision Ag applications on the Extended Monitor.
Triple-Link Suspension (TLS©)
The TLS Plus system provides optimal traction and field performance by maintaining ground-to-tire contact, enabling more power to the ground. It also ensures higher operator comfort, reduces operator fatigue, and increases productivity, while the Variable Ratio Steering improves in-field maneuverability.
Cab suspension
The intelligent hydropneumatic cab suspension offers more driving comfort in the field and on the road. Input from the acceleration and TLS sensor causes the cab suspension controller to increase or decrease the amount of oil in the shock absorber ram. This semi-active system delivers ultimate comfort in every situation.
Variable Ratio Steering improves operator comfort, requiring less hand movement and less steering effort when turning on the headland or in confined spaces. This results in faster turning of the steering wheel and increases hydraulic flow, leading to a quicker response from the tires. The system can be activated or deactivated in the CommandCenter© display and is available for all 6R Tractors.
Engine
The high power output of the John Deere 4-cylinder, 4.5L (274.6-cu in.) engine and the 6-cylinder, 6.8L (415-cu in.) engine is made possible by refined, four-valve, high-pressure common rail (HPCR) technology with an injection pressure of up to 2500 bar (36,259.4 psi). The PVS engine in the 6R 175, 6R 195, and 6R 215 models is equipped with a variable geometry turbocharger (VGT) that boosts performance and efficiency consistently across the torque curve. The PSS engines (6R 230 and 6R 250) use a two-stage turbocharging system in which the VGT multiplies the pressure created by a fixed vane turbocharger.
Intelligent Power Management (IPM) is a feature for many typical farming operations that use the rear power take-off (PTO) in high-power applications or the tractor as a transport vehicle. Operators who are looking for more power in non-stationary PTO and transport applications will be interested in the IPM feature. In high rear PTO power applications such as forage harvesters, rototillers, and beet or potato harvesting equipment or where heavy trailers, carts, or implements are moved to and from various locations, this feature provides significant additional capabilities. The solution improves productivity with more consistent ground speeds, quicker acceleration, and the ability to better hold desired transport speeds. All 6R Tractors have IPM in base equipment. Hydraulic IPM is available as a separate option to enable the IPM in applications resulting in high hydraulic loads.
Optimize engine performance in dusty environments by utilizing the optional reversible fan technology available on all 6R Tractors. The reversible fan allows the operator to quickly clean radiator screens from the comfort of the cab. By manually activating the system with a switch in the cab, the radiator fan blades blow out dust and debris away from the radiator. This enables the engine to run cooler, resulting in fuel savings, less downtime, and overall increased efficiency.
The closed-center, pressure-and-flow-compensated hydraulic system in the 6R Tractors has been engineered for maximum durability and reliability by optimizing the number of hydraulic components and connections, which also makes it extremely efficient. The system in the 6R 230 and 6R 250 delivers a powerful 160 L/min (42.3 gpm) at 1500 rpm with enhanced operating characteristics. In a 6R Tractor, you get up to six electrohydraulic selective control valves (SCVs) with a pressure relief lever, logically clustered, and all iTEC© capable. You can easily control flow rates and times from the cab with the CommandCenter© display.
Hydraulic Intelligent Power Management (IPM)
As a supplement to power take-off (PTO) and transport applications, Intelligent Power Management also delivers additional horsepower for hydraulically driven implements. The Hydraulic IPM keeps tractor wheel speed constant during applications that use power-hungry hydraulically driven implements like slurry tankers, sprayers, or manure spreaders.
The AutoQuad transmission has all the benefits of the PowrQuad© PLUS transmission with the added convenience of automatic gear shifting. It is available in 20F/20R and 24F/24R versions. With the EcoShift option, a transport speed of 40 km/h (25 mph) is maintained at only 1533 rpm, reducing fuel consumption and emissions.
AutoPowr/IVT is a hydromechanical transmission that delivers stepless and continuous power at speeds between 40 km/h and 50 km/h (25 mph and 31 mph). The AutoPowr transmission maintains the selected speed by automatically responding to changing load conditions. Once running at maximum road speed, engine rpm automatically drops to the minimum level required to maintain that speed, thus reducing noise and saving fuel. A speed of 50 km/h (31 mph) is maintained at 1630 rpm, and a speed of 40 km/h (25 mph) is maintained at 1300 rpm with the CommandPRO© joystick.
Specifically developed for 6R Tractors, DirectDrive is an eight-speed, three-range transmission designed and engineered by John Deere for heavy agricultural work. Super-efficient dual-clutch technology always has the next gear lined up, so there is no lost momentum during changes, fuel consumption is reduced, and ease of operation is assured. During transport, DirectDrive reduces the engine speed to 1550 rpm at 40 km/h (25 mph) and 1600 rpm at 50 km/h (31 mph), thus reducing fuel consumption. In addition, the AutoClutch function enables you to stop the tractor without pressing the clutch.
John Deere R Series Front Loaders have automatic latch designs, making the installation of loader and implements very efficient. John Deere loaders are built for productivity with little maintenance required. When combined with the maneuverability and technology of the 6R Tractors, operators enjoy proficient material handling and feeding in any application. An optional technology package boosts your productivity thanks to Return-to-Position and further enhances precision with the Dynamic Weighing System while preventing material losses thanks to the electronic Level-to-Horizon feature.
John Deere 6R Tractors have an optional electronic control with an integrated reverser. The loader control has five reconfigurable buttons and rocker switch for tractor and ISOBUS functions.
Dynamic Weighing System
Enhance your precision on the go. The Dynamic Weighing System provides the operator with real-time weights that enable the operator to fill the loader to a desired weight. This delivers efficiency by reducing unnecessary trips to the feed source and allows operators to effectively manage the right combination of inputs into feed rations.
Return to Position
Boost your productivity for repetitive tasks. With Return-to-Position you can save up to four implement positions for quick and comfortable recall with the loader control.
Level to Horizon
Prevent material losses while keeping your speed with the Level-to-Horizon feature, which keeps the loader attachment level in uneven terrain.
