Operators rely on a high quality and functional operator station environment to complete their job. Many of these jobs require frequent stops and starts and the 6M Open Operator Station Tractor provides easy entry and exit from the operator platform with two handles supporting the operator. Open station tractors offer great visibility, which can be crucial for tasks that require precise maneuvering, such as working in tight spaces or around obstacles. Operators can enjoy the direct connection they have with their surroundings and appreciate the ability to communicate with others around the tractor.
The 6M OOS delivers a more productive, comfortable, and efficient experience through customizable options. Several options are available to let you configure your 6M OOS to fit any operation including:
The Right-hand Console provides an enhanced customer experience through intuitive controls you needed for daily work at your fingertips, such as the transmission, loader joystick (optional), rear hitch, and PTO controls.
You can choose between the Economy Seat and the Standard Seat. The Standard Seat comes with additional features,
such as Mechanical Lumbar Support for a more comfortable operator experience and a Swivel that provides a 15° angle
to the left and a 20° angle to the right.
The high-power output of the John Deere 4-cylinder, 4.5L (274.6-cu in.) engine and the 6-cylinder, 6.8L (415-cu in.) engine is made possible by refined, four-valve, high-pressure common rail (HPCR) technology with an injection pressure of up to 2500 bar (36,259.4 psi). The 6M OOS leverages different levels of technology and turbocharger configurations to efficiently deliver peak performance throughout the portfolio.
Optimize engine performance in dusty environments by utilizing the optional reversible fan technology available on all 6M OOS Tractors. The reversible fan allows the operator to quickly clean radiator screens from the comfort of the operator station. By manually activating the system with a switch in the operator station, the radiator fan blades blow out dust and debris away from the radiator. This enables the engine to run cooler, resulting in fuel savings, less downtime, and overall increased efficiency.
Customers rely on the 6M Open Operator Station tractor for many different applications such as cultivating, seeding, harvesting, transport, etc. This requires a reliable and efficient transmission to support the unique requirements of the various applications. The 6M Open Operator Station allows the customer to select the controls and speeds to best fit their applications.
Operators will have the ability to select transmission solutions offering:
PowrQuad™ transmissions feature a partial PowerShift technology. An operator selects a desired range using the range lever on the right-hand console and the gears using the gear lever right beside the range lever. For specialty uses like vegetable, orchard and other operations that need extremely slow speeds, creeper speeds are available with the PowrQuad™ transmission.
Looking for a reliable all-around tractor to support a variety of applications? The 6M Open Operator Station offers a portfolio of 5 models with 2 frame sizes (2580 mm and 2765 mm wheelbase) to meet the customer’s needs on maneuverability. The compact size and visibility of open station tractors help navigate in tight spaces and bedded crops. The broad offering of hydraulics, rear axles, tires and a reliable PowrQuadTM transmission on multiple frame-sizes, allows the operator to match the right weight to horsepower to meet the unique challenges of any operation.
