Last Updated: July 2024

Overview

The John Deere 6150M is a Row-Crop tractor with a 4x2 2WD chassis and front drive engaged. It is powered by a John Deere PowerTech PVX 6-cylinder, 414 cubic inch, liquid-cooled diesel (Fuel No. 2 Diesel) engine with a 16.5 to 1 compression ratio. The engine delivers 124.43 hp at 2100 rated RPM and produces a maximum torque of 452 lb-ft at 1450 rpm. The tractor has a selective gear fixed ratio transmission with partial (4) range operator controlled power shift, offering 20 forward gears. It features hydrostatic power steering and a closed center load sensing hydraulic system with a pump flow capacity range of 30.8 - 31.2 gal/min and a maximum pressure of 2908 psi. The operating weight is 14140 lbs, and it rides on front 420/85R28 and rear 460/85R42 radial tires. Detailed drawbar performance data is available from independent testing.
