JOHN DEERE 6115M TIRES

The John Deere 6115M tractor is equipped with either 2WD or 4WD configurations, allowing versatility in traction depending on field conditions. Standard agricultural tires of sizes 10.00-16 for the front and 460/85R34 for the rear (or 380/85R24 for front in 4WD) provide a balance of stability and flotation, making it suitable for a wide range of farming tasks. However, depending on the soil and crop types, the choice of 2WD may limit performance in wet or uneven terrain compared to the enhanced traction of the 4WD version.
