Overview

The John Deere 6120R is a utility farm tractor manufactured in Mannheim, Germany, from 2015 to 2021, available in both two-wheel and four-wheel drive configurations. It is powered by a 4.5L 4-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine rated at 120 gross hp, paired with transmission options including partial power shift and infinitely variable systems. The unit features a standard air-conditioned cab, a 102-inch wheelbase, and a closed-center hydraulic system with a 30 gpm pump flow.

Ideal Applications

Tested Mechanical Performance: Nebraska Tractor Test data shows a maximum tested drawbar output of 111.7 hp and a maximum pull capacity of 14,030 lbs.

Hydraulic and Hitch Configuration: The tractor is equipped with a Category 2 rear hitch providing a lift capacity of 5,582 lbs at 24 inches and a closed-center hydraulic system operating at 2,900 psi.

Engine and Transmission Architecture: The 4.5L Tier IV engine utilizes selective catalytic reduction and exhaust gas recirculation, and can be configured with 16-speed or 24-speed partial power shift or infinitely variable transmissions.
