John Deere’s new mid-specification 6030 Series tractors
are designed for wider appeal to a bigger range of customers, particularly
mixed and livestock farmers looking for reliability, performance,
higher levels of comfort and simple operation as standard.
John Deere 6330
|
Available for 2008, this new eight model range replaces the previous
6020 SE Series, and will complement the 6030 Premium models that
were introduced in autumn 2006. The previous 6020SE model has not
been continued, but two new models have been added at the top of
the range to provide extra power options.
The full line-up is as
follows:

All models feature a Tier 3 turbocharged engine with the same
high pressure common rail fuel injection system as on the Premium
machines, but in a simpler overall package without the variable
geometry turbocharger, exhaust gas recirculation and Intelligent
Power Management system. The engines deliver 20 per cent constant
power and a five per cent power bulge when required.
There is now a wider choice of transmissions, depending on model,
including Power Reverser 16/16 (30 and 40kph), PowrQuad Plus 16/16
(30 and 40kph), and PowrQuad Plus 20/20 and 24/24 (40kph only).
All include a new electrically operated left-hand reverser that
is incorporated into the new tilting and telescoping dash unit.
A number of changes have been made to the cab, compared to the
previous SE range, to improve operator comfort. Noise levels have
been reduced to 71dB(A), rear visibility down to the pick-up hitch
has been improved, and cruise control is standard. Other improvements
include the relocation of the heater from the cab roof to underneath
the seat, which greatly improves visibility when using a front
loader.
Additional standard features include a remote pto control, large
capacity fuel tanks up to 250 litres (325 litres optional) on the
new 6830 and 6930 models, and increased lift capacity options ranging
from 4 to 6 tonnes. An optional factory fit vandal protection kit
is available, which includes a lockable bonnet, fuel cap and transmission
oil cap, and both Parallel Tracking and AutoTrac Universal steering
systems are available as field fit options if required.
Prices of the new John Deere 6030 Series tractors, which are available
from November 2007, range from £34,309 to £54,334.
