Overview

The John Deere 6230R is a powerful row-crop farm tractor featuring a 6.8L 6-cylinder PowerTech PSS engine capable of delivering a maximum gross power of 270 hp. Built for efficiency and operator comfort, it combines an infinitely-variable AutoPowr transmission with a ComfortView Cab and Triple Link Suspension.

Ideal Applications

Heavy Lifting and Loading: With a rear lift capacity of 15,432 lbs and front-end loader attachment compatibility, this tractor is equipped for substantial material handling and heavy-duty hitch work.

Precision Row-Crop Operations: The AutoTrac ready ComfortView Cab and four-wheel drive system allow for precise field navigation, while the electro-hydraulic front and rear differential locks provide stability in varying terrain.

High-Demand Hydraulic Tasks: Equipped with a closed-center pressure flow compensated hydraulic system delivering 42.3 gpm and up to 6 valves, it is designed to power complex implements requiring high hydraulic flow.
