John Deere takes to the field with 6030 and 7030 series tractors

For customers who desire legendary tractor performance in horsepowers ranging from 75 to 140 PTO-hp, John Deere introduces the full line of 6030 and 7030 Series Tractors.

"These new tractors are truly legends in the field when it comes to world-class performers," says Jason Daly, division marketing manager, John Deere Waterloo Works. "The new team of all-star tractors can be configured from economical to premium models to meet any farm, ranch or worksite application and provide flexible, cost-effective performance to get the job done, day in and day out."

The basic specifications for these tractors follow:

"Engine performance is critically important to overall tractor productivity," states Daly. "The economical PowerTech E engines, available as the exclusive engine offering on the 6030 and 7030 Series Tractors, feature a two-valve common rail design with dual-temperature cooling, viscous drive fan and electronic engine management. They have plenty of lugging power to get the job done and an impressive torque rise of 35 percent to help get through the tough spots."

The high-performance PowerTech Plus engines are standard equipment on all 6030 Premium and 7030 Premium models. They feature a four-valve common rail fuel delivery, a fuel-saving variable geometry turbocharger (VGT), exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and dual temperature cooling.

"The PowerTech Plus engines are designed to give exceptional torque, power and engine response," explains Daly. "And the optional Intelligent Power Management delivers up to an additional 25 engine horsepower when needed for transport or mobile rear PTO work. The industry-leading PowerTech Plus engines truly are world-class in power and performance."

Many transmission options are available and can be tailored to specific customer needs. The field-proven PowrQuad PLUS™ transmission offers four powershift gears within four ranges and is available in a transport speed up to 19 mph. For faster transport speeds and gear selection AutoQuad PLUS™ goes a step further with automatic shifting within each of its six ranges and transport speeds up to 25 mph.

"The ultimate transmission in the tractor lineup is the advanced Infinitely Variable Transmission (IVT) available exclusively in our Premium line of tractors," says Alejandro Galindo, product manager, 6030 and 7030 Series Tractors. "This smooth, seamless transmission operates without shifting gears and adjusts automatically to field and operating conditions. It maximizes tractor performance by maintaining optimal speed and engine torque for the work at hand."

These three transmissions feature a left-hand reverser for easy, clutch-free directional changes. Color-coded controls are ergonomically arranged for easy-to-use operation. A more economical transmission option, SyncroPlus™, is available on the 6030 and 7030 mid-specification models and offers a fully synchronizable clutch system that allows shifting on the go.

"The real secret behind the productivity of these tractors is that customers can work with their local John Deere dealer and select a package that will give them the greatest value for their operational needs," emphasizes Galindo. "Whether the tractor will be used for mowing, feeding or baling, John Deere has a solution for any kind of PTO-type operation. For field applications that require higher torque, these machines can be configured to handle primary tillage and planting with state-of-the-art engine and transmission performance. And as a loader tractor, they are unsurpassed in visibility, forward and reverse operation, and overall power for heavy loader and blading applications."

Precision guidance innovations are also available on the 6030 Premium and 7030 Premium Series Tractors. Designed to fully integrate with new technology such as GreenStar AutoTrac™ or AutoTrac Universal, operators can take full advantage of precision accuracy and gain even more productivity from these tractors.

For customers that need a state-of-the-art operating environment, the 6030 Premium and 7030 Premium Series Tractors offer a premium cab that leads the industry in comfort and control. The new cab features enhanced visibility with color-coded controls for easy operation. A new air suspension seat in the 7030 Premium Tractor offers the operator outstanding comfort during the long workdays.

"We've got plenty of storage space in our FieldOffice™, a portable storage system for documents and papers," says Daly. "Other features include the CommandCenter™ control system that offers a reconfigurable performance monitor, settings controller and space-saving design for easier adjustment of key tractor functions."

"The new 6030 and 7030 Series Tractors offer configurations and options for any customer looking for great performance and value in a 75-140 PTO hp tractor," concludes Daly. "We encourage customers to visit with their local John Deere dealer to find the best match for their farm, ranch or worksite needs. We believe that this all-star lineup provides the best value in tractor horsepower today."
