ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS

The John Deere 6R 155 is equipped with a robust 6.8L diesel engine featuring an advanced turbocharging system, enhancing both performance and fuel efficiency, particularly at the rated speed of 2100 rpm. Its Final Tier 4 emission compliance ensures reduced environmental impact through effective exhaust after-treatment systems including DOC, DPF, and SCR, making it suitable for operation in areas with stringent emissions regulations. However, the complexity of the emissions system can lead to higher maintenance costs and requires proper operation protocols to avoid regeneration issues.

ENGINE PERFORMANCE

The John Deere 6R 155 tractor has a rated engine power of 155 hp with peak torque of 724 Nm at 1,600 rpm, providing robust performance for heavy-duty applications. The Intelligent Power Management (IPM) offers an additional 40 hp for transport and PTO tasks, enhancing versatility. However, the 10% power boost and high PTO torque rise may increase fuel consumption under maximum load, necessitating careful management during extended operation.
