Features:
The tractor model numbers are comprised of four positions. The first number designates the family while the next three numbers represent the approximate engine horsepower. The fifth and sixth positions are represented by a letter. The first letter indicates the level of capability or price a tractor has. Not every tractor will have a second letter. But if it does, the second letter represents a special configuration of the tractor.
The size of the tractor is how large the tractor is compared to other tractors John Deere offers, using the similar sizes of today’s product groupings and still sustaining the tradition of the name and numbering legacy. These are referred to as Six Series Tractors. This name and numbering system will not change that. The 6E is similar in size to the 6003 Series.
The second position is the tractor’s approximate engine power. The 6100E at 99 hp, 6115E at 118 hp, and 6130E at 130 hp have been rounded to the nearest 5 hp. John Deere has promoted PTO horsepower for its utility and row-crop tractors and engine horsepower for its four-wheel drive (4WD) tractors. This has led to some confusion in the marketplace. Although promoting PTO horsepower has its benefits, using bare-engine horsepower allows for a more consistent means of promoting tractor horsepower in a global market.
Bare-engine horsepower is measured by running just the bare block engine with the front fan. With bare engine horsepower, John Deere is using the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 97/68 E-C standard for determining the bare-engine horsepower at rated engine speed, given in metric horsepower, not Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). This unit of measurement is used globally to describe off-road engines. This will allow John Deere to consistently promote the tractor’s approximate horsepower within the model number across all tractors around the world.
The third position is the tractor’s capability or price level within its family. In general terms, capability is the specification level of that tractor series, such as the type of engine, transmission, frame, and overall design; all leading to price. The letter D would equal a very basic tractor; M would signify a premium tractor, while the letter R would equal a very premium tractor with many options and features. The higher the letter is in the alphabet the higher the tractor’s spec level. If the tractor has a second letter, the second letter represents the configuration of the tractor. For example, H will designate high-crop and V will designate a vineyard design.
Another important part of the name and number system is the way that these tractor models are pronounced. The former system would have said sixty-one-forty-E, but since the second, third, and fourth positions are the engine horsepower and not part of the tractor’s size, the numbers need to be separated.
The correct way to say this tractor lineup is:
- 6100E: six-one-hundred-E
- 6115E: six-one-fifteen-E
- 6130E: six-one-thirty-E
This is a significant change to what has been used in the past, but the value and the solutions of these tractors remain the same.

The 6E Series Cab Tractors can be equipped (factory installed) with AutoTrac automatic guidance system, available in the following configuration: AutoTrac Universal.
The AutoTrac system can greatly reduce a producers costs by eliminating over pass, providing great economy in fuel consumption, and improving the efficiency of many other inputs such as fertilizers, seeds, and chemicals. It allows the adoption of precision agriculture systems, such as variable rate, controlled traffic, etc.
John Deere diesel engines
- Tier 3 engine available in the 6100E, 6115E, and 6130E.
- 4-cylinder 4.5L PowerTech E engine turbocharged intercooled for 6100E, 6115E, and 6130E models.
- Under-hood muffler allows for reduced sound levels, a clean hood profile, and excellent visibility.
Transmissions
- Four 30K transmissions available to match producers needs:
- Twelve forward/ four reverse (12F/4R) top shaft synchronized (TSS) with wet clutch
- 24F/8R TSS Hi-Lo with wet clutch
- 12F/12R PowrReverse clutch
- 24F/12R PowrReverser Plus wet clutch
A rollover protective structure (ROPS)-certified, factory-installed cab is available to all operators. The cab provides protection from heat and cold, wind, noise, and offers a climate-controlled environment. The cabs are also assembled to the tractor chassis as a complete unit mounted on composite isolators.
John Deere 6E Series Tractors feature the reliable and proven 4.5L (276 cu in.) two-valve PowerTech E engine.
The PowerTech E engine, used in 6100E, 6115E, and 6130E models, are diesel engines that can deliver up to 25 percent torque rise.
For operators requiring more field speeds to achieve the most precise operating ranges, five transmission options are available in the 6E Series.
- 12F/4R TSS with wet clutch
- 24F/8R TSS Hi-Lo with wet clutch
- 12F/12R PowrReverser wet clutch
- 24F/12R (30 and 40k) PowrReverser Plus wet clutch
All 6E Series Tractors feature a gear-driven, open-center (constant-flow) hydraulic system with a maximum pressure of 19,500 kPa (2830 psi).
The tractor incorporates a triple hydraulic pump design. The implement, steering-transmission lubrication systems, and transmission all function separately; all three systems utilize a common reservoir resulting in ease of serviceability. Two selective control valves (SCVs) are in base with a third deluxe valve as optional equipment.
The 6E Series Tractors feature an independent and electric 540/1000 rpm PTO as base equipment. For feeding, mixing, baling hay, or any other PTO application, the 6E Series 540/1000 rpm PTO can match up efficiently to any requirement.
An easy-to-use push/pull knob on the right-hand console allows the operator to quickly and smoothly engage and disengage the PTO. If the tractor is stopped or is being downshifted, the PTO rpm levels can be maintained. To engage the PTO, simply pull up on the knob. When the PTO is engaged, a light on the instrument panel illuminates. To disengage the PTO, simply push the knob back down.
