6R 185 engine boost

[Pa85]

Hi I’ve ordered a 6R185 for next spring, the tractor will be mainly pulling a 4M Trailed drill just wondering will the hydraulic fan on the drill be enough to activate the boost. The book says it’s available for hydraulic applications. Salesman didn’t really give a clear yes or no. Any current users know if this is the case?

On 2016 6155r with trailed sprinter drill and hydraulic fan, the boost progressively comes into play once 13kmh or over I believe. Newer may well be different criteria. If you apply more pressure to the salesman he should be able to find the correct answer for you from the JD tractor sales area manager.

Too late if he's already placed the order

Salesman couldn't care less about after sales support(!)

You can spec hydraulic ipm. So yes but spec it. Was about £400 on my 6r150

If it's not locked in you can change spec after order placed

On the older generation of tractors it was just a boost on pto and on the road but on the new one have hydraulic IPM which is supposed to give give it when hydraulics are under load. But I’m not sure a drill fan is enough of a load

You just gave me a small heart attack, didn’t know it was extra but I just looked at the spec sheet and it’s listed on it anyway

hydr ipm is standard on the 6r185

I thought it was an option to be honest, Just looked on our spec sheet when ours was ordered back in February it was an option, maybe it’s changed now collect our 185 on Wednesday

I had one on demo and I put the sumo on it to try it out, if I put a spool valve into constant pump it did seam to go better and it put the fuel useage up by 2l hr.
