New John Deere

[Dmc6115]

I was thinking strong of buying a new jd, maybe a 6155m or around that horsepower..wondering can you get 50k on a m or do you have to buy an r??? Will not be sheling out for an overpriced R if so??

Am sure the m series are all 40 k

 

[dusty]

Can get a 40k eco

 

[Farmer Roy]

Have a look at the JD website surely ?

all the relevant specs should be there, to compare models

Get the 40k eco and the get her remapped so she revs out to do 50k

It’s not that easy on the 2020 and onwards models, there are multiple controllers that need doing, which means the tractor can’t ever have a software update. With an engine map you can update everything else except the engine software and the map will be safe but it’s all interlinked on the 40k map.

We were hauling silage 5.5 miles yesterday with 3x 50k tractors and 1x 40k. The 40k one was no slower, he wasn’t being caught up by the others. That was one country lanes, obviously if you did a lot of long main road work it would be different.

For the work we do 40k is ample 90%of the time

The 50k R series will have the upgraded front hub brakes which the 40k versions don’t have. They are there for a reason!

Our 40k M has front axle brakes too. They are optional

You definitely can get 50k M series. I have a quote for one. I never asked dealer how.

HRN started doing them on the run up to the end of their JD franchise. Was it from them by any chance?

 

[Jim75]

Can Defintley get 50k M, got one coming in the next week

 

[snarling bee]

I agree about the journey times on country roads with 40k vs 50k. Need to look at resale value as well though. Will a 50kph with better front axle and air brake system be worth a lot more??

 

[mf7480]

They’re not available from factory as 50k. Perhaps there’s still dealers fiddling with them

 

[Sharpy]

Big thing abot an eco 40k (which is a 50k with a rev limiter) is the fuel saving, I have a 6620 with an eco box, also a bypass switch to let it do 50k. On level road work running with an empty trailer at 40 fuel consumption is around 2 gallons an hour, with the switch down its nearer 5 gallons an hr.........

Not on the configuration but under the M series section on Deere website it says 40-50kmh autopowr

I had a good look there just now, could only see the bit that says from 50m/h (metres) - 40km/h

need glasses. Defintley don’t need glasses for our spec and has the bigger brakes on ours aswell.
