ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS
The John Deere 6230R features a robust 6.8 L inline 6-cylinder Diesel engine with advanced turbocharging and an efficient air-to-air aftercooling system, making it well-suited for demanding agricultural tasks. Its Final Tier 4 emissions compliance, facilitated by a DOC/DPF/SCR aftertreatment system, minimizes environmental impact but may increase maintenance complexity due to the need for regular DPF servicing. Overall, this tractor offers high power output at 2100 rpm, benefiting large-scale farming scenarios where both performance and sustainability are crucial.

ENGINE PERFORMANCE
The John Deere 6230R tractor offers a robust rated power of 230 hp and a peak torque of 1074 Nm at 1,600 rpm, ideal for demanding agricultural tasks. Its Intelligent Power Management enables an additional 40 hp during PTO applications, enhancing productivity by managing engine load efficiently. However, the 10 percent power boost requires close monitoring of the engine's performance to prevent strain, particularly during heavy-duty operations.

TRANSMISSION
The John Deere 6230R features an Infinitely Variable Transmission (IVT), allowing for smooth acceleration from 0.05 to 42 km/h, which enhances fuel efficiency and adaptability to varying field conditions. The left-hand electrical reverser provides convenient direction changes, improving operator ergonomics and reducing fatigue during repetitive tasks. However, the complexity of IVT may lead to higher maintenance costs, requiring skilled technicians.

TIRES
The John Deere 6230R features a robust tire configuration with front 420/85R30 and rear 520/85R42 tires, providing enhanced stability and traction for various agricultural applications. The MFWD (Mechanical Front-Wheel Drive) system and TLS (Tension Loss System) contribute to improved maneuverability and weight distribution, ideal for handling heavy loads in diverse terrains. However, the wide wheel tread range of 2370 inches may limit access to narrower fields or tightly spaced crops, potentially impacting operational efficiency in certain scenarios.
