The 6M Tractor was designed to ensure maximum maneuverability and visibility, no matter the job. With an updated sloped hood design on the cab models, you can see it all – your front loader, attachments, and front-mounted implements – with an improved 5.5-m (18-ft) front view distance. This is 2.2 m (7.3 ft) more of visibility compared to previous models.   If you work in corrals and other small spaces, then you know how beneficial a shorter wheelbase can be when it comes to getting in and out of tight spots. The 6110M and 6120M feature a 17.8-cm (7-in.) shorter wheelbase (240 cm [94.5 in.]), giving you the power of a 6M Tractor with the nimbleness of a smaller tractor. Take advantage of a 4.3-m (14-ft) turning radius, perfect for cleaning out barns, working livestock, baling hay, roadside mowing applications, and more.   Note: These changes do not apply to the Open Operator Station (OOS) models.

There’s no denying you spend plenty of time in the cab. Make it quality time with the redesigned 6M Tractor cab. Guided by best-practice ergonomic principles and four different cab packages to customize the way you work, you’ll enjoy a more productive, comfortable, and efficient experience. All 6M Tractors will come standard with a digital cornerpost display, eliminating the previous instrument cluster behind the steering wheel. This easy-to-read digital display gives you access to all critical machine data and settings in one place. Additionally, premium options have been made available to let you customize your 6M to fit any operation including:

• Mechanical or electrical reconfigurable joystick with PowrReverser™ functionality
  • Quickly and easily change directions with the push of a button while doing loader work
• Compact CommandARM™ console
  • Swivel in your seat and have all the controls at your fingertips

Operators looking for a more comfortable, fuel efficient, and proven transmission can upgrade to an Infinitely Variable Transmission (AutoPowr™/IVT) system for any 6110M through 6140M tractor. The IVT system utilizes a combination of mechanical and hydrostatic power, providing stepless and continuous power across an infinitely variable range of speeds.   The single-speed lever is used for intuitive and accurate control of ground speeds as slow as 0.05 km/h (0.03 mph) to 40 km/h (25 mph). The wheel is quick and easy to adjust with the operator’s thumb to set the maximum commanded forward or reverse speed in each speed band. Operators can also enjoy reduced fuel costs and a quieter, more comfortable ride with transport speeds being reached at lower engine rpms. Additional benefits include:

• Easy to operate
• Less shifting time for better management of implements
• Precise management of speeds
• Under acceleration, engine rpm is kept to a minimum within the engines peak torque band to reduce noise and fuel consumption

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.

Redesigned to improve loader operations

The 600R Loader has been redesigned to work effortlessly with the model year 2020 6110M and 6120M Tractors. In cadence with the sloped hood design of the tractor, the 600R Loader features curved booms, making an ideal tractor-loader combination. This combination also includes a 22.9-cm (9-in.) reduction in overall machine and loader length, improving forward visibility by over 2.1-m (7 ft). Pairing the model year 2020 6110M or 6120M Tractor with the 600R Loader allows visibility directly to the loader attachment, providing more efficient performance with any loader application.

Panoramic roof for increased visibility

As the lift height of the R-Series Loaders increases, the larger panoramic roof inside the model year 2020 6110M and 6120M Tractor cabs provides additional visibility to the entire lift cycle of the loader. The 600R Loader has a lift height up to 391.2 cm (154 in.), allowing an operator to stack three bales. With the larger panoramic roof, tasks that require maximum loader height can be performed more easily.

Light-emitting diode (LED) light option for variable operating conditions

To further enhance visibility, the model year 2020 6110M/6120M Tractors and 600R Loader have the option to include LED lights. With LED lights emitting from the tractor cab and the loader boom, performing loader applications in variable operating conditions is made easier. Pairing the loader LED light option with an LED light package on the 6110M or 6120M Tractor will provide unmatched visibility to enhance operator experience during any task.

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).

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

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)

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).
