ENGINE PERFORMANCE

The John Deere 6135E tractor delivers a robust rated power of 99 kW (135 engine hp), making it suitable for heavy-duty applications with optimal performance at low RPMs (1,600 rpm peak torque of 539 Nm / 397 lb-ft). Its PTO power of 86 kW (115 PTO hp) combined with a 30% PTO torque rise enhances its capability to efficiently handle demanding implements, such as mowers and tillers, especially in agricultural settings. However, operators should be aware of potential challenges related to fuel consumption and maintenance costs associated with high power output during prolonged use.
