John Deere 6930 premium & standard. What's the difference..?

[Ceri]

Hi all obviously u have no command centre on a standard but is the difference a smaller/lighter back end...? Any other differences...?

 

[manfromhill]

Standard had no boost and 20 premium dash

 

[manfromhill]

2 valve engine instead of 4 as well

 

[KB6930]

Smaller hydraulic pump lift capacity etc

The general consensus around here is the standard 30 series are more reliable than the premium my local garage ex jd dealer wouldn’t touch a premium 30 series as had to many bad experiences so now mostly imports 20 series se and premium 30 standard and all R and M series

It means each piston has 1 inlet valve for fresh air to get in and 1 outlet valve for exhaust gases to get out. If ur not needin the tech of the premium id go for a standard

I think the 6630 were a bit flat power wise. 6930 would be a good tractor.

Either a 68 or 69 is a mighty good tractor. Or a 64 for a pocket rocket

No idea, I’m sure they all decent tractors whatever you choose.

Now then..


Toast.........

I think so yes. We’ve a 6430 standard now done over 10 thousand hours and has been a cracking tractor.

Poverty spec 6930 - every dog has his day! Standard has the 20 series engine top end. No variable geometry turbo to stop working. Even better, no egr cooler to block.
No JD Command Centre running the electronics so you can swap the lights to LED or add extra work lights without a laptop

We had a 6830 std, was very disappointed on power, no comparison to a 6830 premium and was advised not to chip it due to the smaller rear axle etc, not a tractor anyone would want to drive here,

We run a 6330 standard with a loader and it’s chipped for last 5 years it has great power and everyone likes driving it. In summer time it used to regularly be hooked up to a lely 245 and was better able for it than a deutz 6150.4 we run 2 fusions now and it’s not piped but if it was I’d like to test it baling with them. Been faultless for the 6000hrs I put on it since 2016

I thought the axles were the same just the normal differences between 66 and 68
