Our 6130 feels a lot more stable on a fusion than it’s fendt 412 predicessor, been drilling today on some steep land with 2ton direct drill with 1000kg of ballast on it and it feels very stable in the fields and on the road. I like it so much I have just ordered a new one with command pro, 650 tyres , hydraulic top link. Supposed to arrive last month but hey ho hours going onto someone else’s tractor now?

hi is any one pulling 5 furrow kv ld 85 on 14" with 6130r and will one lift it ok?
Have a 6130 and use an auto reset KV at 16” on it, pulls it no problem. It lifted it absolutely no problem when new but this year it was struggling to lift it all the way to top and was making a noise like low on oil. Reported it to dealer when getting its 1000 hour service, not sure if anything was done and haven’t had plough back on yet. Was making the same noise when turning over too so not sure what was up. It had plenty oil before anyone asks.
I also previously used the same plough on our 115R needed the loader on with the bucket full off stone but she pulled it easy enough.
I really like our 130 I’d say it’s the best new Deere we have had. The only thing I’d say is it does Bob about on the road a bit more than the longer 150.

Hally Glad to hear that you are giving a vote of confidence to another 130R as I am just finishing my first year with one. Its on a mixed farm with a 623loader and I am very pleased with it . Found it quite hard on fuel but now with 750 hrs it seems to have improved on fuel. There is plenty of power in the tractor but it is quite easy to stall it at loader work at low revs and it probably grips very well with the 950 kg weight on the back I have 600s on it and I sprayed with them as the crops are hammered with the weather and there are lots of bare patches on the headlands to turn on . Overall the tractor is simple enough to drive and you have a lot of information on the screen to get the best out of it and while they are abetter tractor than the 20 range you are paying for it.
