ENGINE DETAIL

The John Deere 6210 is powered by a turbocharged 4.5L 4-cylinder diesel engine, delivering 90hp at 2300 RPM and a peak torque of 274 lb-ft at 1900 RPM, which is advantageous for heavy-load tasks. Its efficient compression ratio of 17.8:1 aids in fuel economy, but rigorous maintenance of valve clearances (intake 0.014 inches and exhaust 0.018 inches) is crucial for optimal performance. The tractor's capacity for 12.7 quarts of oil and varying coolant capacities (up to 14.3 quarts in the cab) allows for extended maintenance intervals, enhancing overall uptime in agricultural applications.

JOHN DEERE 6210 TIRES

The John Deere 6210 tractor is available in both 2WD and 4WD configurations, with the latter providing enhanced traction and stability, particularly in challenging terrain or during heavy load operations. The 2WD standard tires (7.50-18 front and 16.9-30 rear) are advantageous for basic agricultural tasks on firmer ground, but may struggle in wet conditions compared to the 4WD setup, which features larger front tires (12.4-24) that improve ground engagement and maneuverability. When considering operational scenarios, 4WD is preferable for variable soil types and slopes, while 2WD may suffice for flat, well-drained fields with less complex requirements.
