New jd 6r

[Norfolk Olly]

John Deere expands 6R range with 6R150 and 6R185

Two new models slot in above the popular 6155R as Deere revamps the 6R range with a new line up, adding the 6R165 and 6R185 and growing the 110hp to 250hp model count to 14. There are also two new more powerful four-cylinder models. With a maximum power rating of 165hp (177hp with power boost)...

Not really the major update I was expecting

 

[Norfolk Olly]

Think the dash is up the pillar like the 7 and 8s and they seem to of put 230 hp in a 6155 chassis .
I was expecting styling like the bigger range tbh

And a price increase

Make sure you're sat down! And dont expect any order to be arriving soon.

 

[benny6910]

I will try to be.

 

[copse]

Have they all got more hp or just a select few ?

 

[nelson]

so they now have a tractor to replace the 6930

On paper maybe but probably not in practice.

 

[br jones]

pointless really as john deere have told their dealers not to take any orders for new tractors !

 

[Gerry6420]

Know some one who ordered a new 6R back 8 weeks ago and he still has no delivery date on it. This is obviously why. Wonder when will we see first ones.?

If they gave it the 230hp all the while, rather than just on boost, that 6R185 could be a proper rival to a Fendt 724?

That could be a fair outfit now . When we chipped our 6155r it was actually a capable tractor and if they've done away with the dash will be good after having a demo of a 6m it's noticeably better.

If they would just put a sensible passenger seat that's not in the way either folded up or down they'd be doing ok I'd say.

6Ms also have the pillar dash, wondered when the 6R would get it

When the worst thing you can say about a tractor is it’s dashboard and passenger seat- it must be a pretty good tractor

Yeah to be fair it wasn't too bad to be fair I kinda miss it after a few hours now on a different breed . It definitely needed more ponies tho as was hopeless without the chip

What year was it? Only reason I ask is our 16 plate would never boost in PTO work. The dealer was out to it many times and in the end it was chipped once out of warranty. The 21 plate boosts all the time it’s supposed to and goes as well as the chipped 16 plate. We won’t need to fettle this one. It does use 3 times as much as blue as the old one, being stage 5.

 

[6r 185]

Anyone had a price yet for 185? Just waiting for the dealer to get all the technical information, is it just a 155 on steroids! or has the lift and transmission been beefed up a bit?
