ENGINE PERFORMANCE

The John Deere 6R 140 tractor delivers a robust 140 hp with a maximum engine output of 154 hp, facilitating efficient power utilization in diverse farming tasks, especially with the additional Intelligent Power Management (IPM) feature that provides a power boost of up to 20 hp during transport and PTO applications. Its 656 Nm peak torque at 1600 rpm enhances its capability for heavy load handling, while the 40% PTO torque rise ensures improved performance in demanding implement operations. Notably, operators might leverage its enhanced PTO power of 123 hp for optimal implement efficiency; however, attention should be given to engine management to prevent overload in high-demand scenarios.

TRANSMISSION

The John Deere 6R 140 tractor features an Infinitely Variable Transmission (IVT) capable of reaching speeds of up to 50 km/h (31 mph), ensuring optimal fuel efficiency and adaptability for diverse agricultural tasks. The left-hand electrical reverser enhances maneuverability, particularly in tight spaces, while the optional creeper gear with AutoQuad allows for precision at low speeds, making it ideal for specialty applications. This combination of features can improve productivity but may introduce a learning curve for operators transitioning from traditional transmissions.
