ENGINE DETAIL
The John Deere 6910 features a robust 6.8L turbocharged diesel engine, delivering 140 hp at 2100 RPM and a substantial torque of 450 lb-ft at 1400 RPM, making it suitable for heavy-duty agricultural tasks. With an oil capacity of 20.8 quarts and coolant capacity of 16.4 quarts, it supports extended operation, but the relatively high torque at low RPM may necessitate careful load management to prevent drivetrain stress. Additionally, routine maintenance on valve clearances—0.014 inches for intake and 0.018 inches for exhaust—ensures optimal engine performance and longevity.
