ENGINE OIL

The John Deere 6130D tractor has an oil capacity of 15.85 quarts (15.0 liters), ensuring efficient lubrication to maintain engine performance. Regular oil changes are recommended every 250 hours with JD TorqGARD oil, or every 500 hours under less demanding conditions, which can enhance engine longevity but requires diligent maintenance tracking. Utilizing high-quality oil like TorqGARD can improve engine efficiency and reduce operational wear, though it may lead to higher maintenance costs.

JOHN DEERE 6130D ENGINE

The John Deere 6130D features a robust 4.5L 4-cylinder diesel engine, delivering efficient power for diverse agricultural applications. With its optimal torque curve, it excels in tasks requiring consistent power under load, though fuel efficiency may vary based on load conditions. This model is well-suited for mid-size farms, offering a balance of performance and maneuverability, but operators should consider maintenance aspects of the diesel system for long-term reliability.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The John Deere 6130D features a 9-speed partially synchronized transmission with a power shuttle, enabling efficient direction changes without clutching, ideal for tasks requiring frequent forward and reverse operations. This setup enhances operator comfort and productivity, especially in loader applications or transport scenarios. However, the partially synchronized design may lead to increased wear on the transmission over time if not operated within specified parameters.

TRANSMISSION 1

The John Deere 6130D features a John Deere Power Reverser transmission with 9 forward and reverse gears, providing flexibility for various applications. Its partially synchronized design allows for easy shifting within gear ranges but requires stopping for range changes, which can impact efficiency in fast-paced operations. The hydraulic wet disc clutch enhances durability and reduces wear, making it suitable for tasks that demand frequent direction changes, though the need to stop for range switching may be a challenge in time-sensitive scenarios.

Transmission John Deere Power Reverser
Type partially synchronized with power shuttle
Gears 9 forward and reverse
Clutch hydraulic wet disc
Oil capacity 61.2qts / 57.9L
Description Three gears (1-3) in each of three ranges (A-C) plus left-hand reverser. Forward/reverse powershift. Synchronized shift between gears with clutch. Shifts between ranges are unsynchronized: the tractor must be stopped and clutch used to shift range

TRANSMISSION 2

The John Deere 6130D features a partially synchronized transmission with 9 forward and 3 reverse gears, enabling smooth gear transitions in lower ranges while requiring a full stop for range shifts. The dry disc clutch enhances longevity but may lead to increased wear under heavy usage. This tractor is ideal for varied agricultural tasks where frequent gear shifting is common, but operators should be prepared for the need to stop for range changes, which can impact efficiency in continuous operation scenarios.

Transmission John Deere Top Shaft Synchronized (TSS)
Type partially synchronzied
Gears 9 forward and 3 reverse
Clutch dry disc
Oil capacity 61.2qts / 57.9L
Description Three gears (1-3) plus reverse (R) in each of three ranges (A-C). Shifts between gears, including to reverse, are synchronized using the clutch. Shifts between ranges are not synchronized, the operator must stop the tractor and use the clutch

MECHANICAL

The John Deere 6130D features a 4x4 MFWD system, enhancing traction and stability in varying field conditions, making it ideal for diverse agricultural tasks. Its hydrostatic power steering offers superior maneuverability, while the independent mechanical wet disc brakes provide reliable stopping power, increasing operator safety, especially in hilly terrains. The 9-speed partially synchronized transmission with a power shuttle enables efficient speed management during field operations, although the lack of full synchronization may require additional operator skill for seamless gear shifts.

JOHN DEERE 6130D TIRES

The John Deere 6130D tractor is equipped with standard agricultural tires (14.9-24 front and 18.4-34 rear), offering a balanced load distribution and improved traction for various farming applications. Upgrading to the optional 18.4-38 rear tires can enhance flotation and stability on softer terrains, beneficial in muddy conditions or when working with heavy implements. However, selecting larger tires may affect the turning radius and overall maneuverability in tight spaces, which is a critical consideration in small-scale farming.
