John Deere 6605

Last Updated: June 2024

Overview

The John Deere 6605 is a versatile utility tractor manufactured by John Deere in Germany between 1998 and 2002. This model can come equipped with either a two-wheel-drive (4x2) or four-wheel-drive (4x4) system and is steered through a power steering system for ease of handling. It is powered by a turbocharged, six-cylinder, John Deere 6068 diesel engine with a 414 cubic inch (6.8 L) displacement, capable of delivering between 94.9 to 121 horsepower, depending on the specific engine configuration. The tractor can be equipped with one of two transmission options: a fully synchronized gearbox with 12 forward and 4 reverse gears, or a power shuttle transmission with 16 forward and reverse gears. Its hydraulic system operates under a closed-center flow-compensated type and the tractor provides a three-point hitch system at the rear with a lift capacity of 5,920 lbs, which is suitable for a wide range of attachments and implements. Operational comfort is provided by either a two-post foldable ROPS or an optional enclosed cab, while maintenance is simplified by electric starting and hydraulic wet disc brakes.
